King Ramses with Cruise - 13 days

02-May-2019

This was with out a doubt one of the most amazing holidays of my life. The country was amazing, the people were friendly and inviting. The history and the sites were beyond my expectations, and On the Go Tours went above and beyond to make sure we could take it all in. Our guide Nader was Fantastic, as were the rest of the employees we dealt with. His commitment to his customers was exceptional to say the least. His knowledge of his country and his enthusiasm to teach his new friends all about it was incredible. I use the word friend as that is what we all were by the end of the trip, not just a business relationship but a group of good friends, with Nader being as key a part of this as anyone else. I hope at some point to return to Egypt, and if that opportunity arises i would re book through On the Go Tours and request Nader as our friend and guide. I look forward to booking other tours with On the Go"in the future as I found there level of service exceptional. Thanks for helping build some great memories

The tour was wonderful. Great hotels. Great excursions. Maybe a little more time for shopping. A nice mix of history and then beach at the end was perfect. Nile cruise was wonderful. Nader was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable and so patient! Transfers and local reps also very good The train was quite the experience! Not sure you can prepare anyone for that! All in all 5 star and I would not hesitate to recommend 'King Ramses' or On the Go

The tour itself was amazing, but Nader went over the top for us. He made this the best holiday we've ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and always made sure that our needs were taken care of. We thoroughly enjoyed his company on this trip. Nader turned our trip into an Adventure. We can't thank him enough.

I’ve always dreamed to go to Egypt and this trip was everything I thought it would be and more! Getting to see the pyramids, Sphinx, valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel to name a few was amazing! Momo was a great tour guide, he has a wealth of knowledge as well as a true passion for his job and for Egypt!

Absolutely the BEST trip ever. Our guide made us feel safe and provided all the knowledge about the amazing sites in Egypt. Our accommodations were top notch. Nader had every detail planned and organised. I would highly recommend On the Go Tours.

Alam was an excellent tour guide. The organisation of the tour was a seamless process for us. All hotel check ins, travel arrangements etc. were very efficient. I was particularly impressed with the way Alam explained the history and background at the historical sites.

Egypt was awesome, our guide Nader was exceptional. He exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond the call of duty. We questioned he responded, we asked can we, he made it happen. I can not express myself enough to the superior service that was provided. We became "family". It was a busy jam packed tour of the sights, sounds and smells of Egypt, and the down time on the Red Sea was welcomed. During the tour we had ample time to explore. This tour was exceptional and highly recommended. Thank You Nader and On the Go.

iNCREDIBLE TRIP, Highly recommend. So well organised. The order of the trip was great. You were wowed at the first things you see, but it just gets better and better as you go. Medo was amazing, he made the trip. What an asset to OTG. Being an Eqyptologist was so valuable, we weren't just given the information about what we were seeing, he was so passionate about his Country and he asked us questions and made us really think about what we were seeing. It helped understand the deep history in Egypt and it kept you thinking. Medo also shared with us his love of Egypt and I felt like we got taken to special personal places for lunch and meals which were experiences in themselves. Medo was very very helpful around the many skelpers or men wanting money for pictures,goods etc. We are from New Zealand and this behaviour was way out of our comfort zone. He always made sure we were never ripped off. We really, really appreciated his advice. Medo always kept us safe. We arrived a day early and did the Back streets of Cairo tour. Wow what a great wee tour that is. And stayed on an extra day at the end and did the Alexandria day trip. Again just superb. Medo was great on both of these trips too, so informative and we had alot of fun. Overall Medo made us all feel like part of a close family and he treated us like best friends. His humour, respect, knowledge, guidance and expertise gave us a trip of a life time that we will never forget. Thank you OTG we would never have done or seen as much as we did without the OTG package holiday. And a very special thank you to Medo, you made it the Best Ever!!!

The tour was great, we all had a good time and I was very happy with what we saw. A good tour to tick a lot of the boxes of Egypt! Aamer was a fantastic tour guide - nothing was too much trouble for him and his knowledge of Egypt was incredible.

Simon Mail  

King Ramses with Cruise - 13 days

10-Apr-2019

The tour was very good. Our tour guide was excellent. He had so much knowledge and experience of the ancient sites which was helped by his background as an archaeologist. All the hotels were good but perhaps the Cairo one at the end was the least enjoyable. I know it was near to the airport but there was not much to do around there or alternative places to eat outside the hotel.
