Great experience! All the people involved in the tour leading were very well informed and friendly (shoutout to Adham and Ramy). Both the Egyptian and Jordanian sides of the tour were very well organised. I personally enjoyed the Egyptian part more (the 2 days Felucca and Dahad were definitely the highlight for me). Food was great! The schedule was busy but that’s the price you gotta pay for all the places you visit during those 2 weeks. I ended up really satisfied by my choice and I totally recommend this trip! Thanks!
A. Lal
Tour guides truly made this whole experience outstanding. Adham and Ramy are very knowledgeable, kind, sharing and accomodating. They make you feel safe and always want and share the best advice. Bisho, Sam and other staff members were always available to help out and give or share whenever asked which really made you feel almost family vibe. Ramy the bus driver for Adham’s group was always kind and out going even with little English. Travel Talk company should be very happy with the staff and the high standard the guides go for their customers.
C. Day
Felucca was highlight. When needed tour guides – Mo + Travel Talk staff were amazing. Thank you for being there when needed to go to the hospital. Amazing service + support during a difficult time.
