Dear Medhat,
We must begin this email saying that the people working for Right-Travel who helped us while we were in Egypt did a FANTASTIC job! (we truly hope we did a good job with the tips... we were quite happy) Further - We very much enjoyed the Mena House. It was a lovely hotel, and the rooms, the restaurants and the people were wonderful. Also- The Sonesta St. George was a lovely ship. We so enjoyed the accommodations and the food. The people on that cruise ship were so helpful and friendly. We truly had a memorable experience. You did a fantastic job and Your efforts were truly appreciated!
Thank You.

We had an excellent trip overall. We were very impressed with all the tour managers, drivers, guides.....they really made it a worthwhile trip. Ashraf our guide on the cruise was exceptional with his explanations, Hussein in Cairo was great too. I would like to mention that we were really touched with Essem who dropped us off at Cairo Airport on our return and waited till we had fully checked in without any problems.

The trip was fantastic. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. Egypt is a Fascinating country. The guides were very knowledgeable, polite, professional and helpful. They made the whole stay very enjoyable. We learned a lot about Ancient Egypt, the gods ,the different Dynasties , the extraordinary Temples richly decorated , the amazing Pyramids ,the biger than life statues etc... We had a good time also on the cruise. We rode a camel for the first time & visited a Nubian village, very hospitable people.
Thank you for helping making my dream come true!

Nov 29 - Dec 05, 2009 (Custom Tour Egypt Safari)
Now we appreciate the possibility to say thank you to “Right Travel” for making our second week in Egypt really a great experience. We were absolutely lucky with our hosts as well with the drivers, and Mr. Yasser Salah took good care of us, although we never saw him…
Mikle Azmy was at our door and everything was fine to perfect. He and Muhammad in his Four-Wheel-Drive, a black Toyota, took us to Siwa (we liked the Shali-Lodge a lot), showed us everything we wanted to see, took us to the desert, to El Alamein und dropped us safely in Alexandria. Muhammad is an excellent driver and Mikle a very clever, ambitious, hearty young man we had a lot fun with.
In Alexandria we absolutely enjoyed the Alexandria Cecil, you could not have chosen a better hotel. There young Ahmad and the driver Selim were as perfect companions as the other two, Ahmad so gentle, polite, helpful, trying so fulfill all our wishes. Although some of the sights were closed (the Museum of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the Royal Jewellery Museum) we saw a lot, and Ahmad took us to several churches we wanted to visit. So everything could not have gone better.
Although we have already expressed our gratitude to all the men who made our week so pleasant, please tell them once more how much we enjoyed their company and how grateful we are for their friendliness and their efforts.
Whenever we return to Egypt or hear that some of our friends intend to come, make sure we come back to you and Right Travel thanks to your excellent service.
Yours sincerely,
Heiner & Renate Wesemann

Due to you and your associates, we had a wonderful time in Egypt. The trip went on very smoothly. The representatives and drivers were punctual and took care of our transportation. The staff at the Mena House and M/S Stephanie were friendly and accommodating. The accomodations for both were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Our Cairo Egytologist was Alia, and Alaa was our Egytologist and escort on the Nile cruise. We praise them for their vast knowledge of Egypt's history and their professional way of doing their job. Alaa was a standout with us because he spent the most time with us and we became like a family. His time and effort bestowed on us were priceless. Your company should be proud to have such excellent associates. Medhat, we thank you again for all your assistance, and we attest to the fact that Right Travel is indeed the right way to travel.

We returned from Egypt on Friday and I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with all the arrangements. Your representatives were all great and reliably on time. Special mention to the gentleman whose name I did not get, but who took care of us at Abu Simbel airport after our plane could not take off because of mechanical difficulties - he took care of putting us on the next flight. The whole trip went smoothly, the Oberoi Philae was exceptional and of course, the sites breathtaking. All in all, a spectacular trip made even more enjoyable because there was nothing for us to be concerned about.
Thanks,

Right Travel provided me with outstanding service, from my first contact with Right Travel to departure from Cairo. Your staff did an outstanding job in all of their efforts to make my trip to Egypt memorable. Would I use Right Travel again? Yes, I would. You have an impressive operation and really know how to take care of customers. Would I recommend your service to a friend? Yes, I will.
Thank you,

Oct 23-Nov 02, 2009 (10 Day Egypt in Depth)
The trip went very well. Mustaffa was always very timely with airport transfers and is polite and helpful. Alia was the Cairo guide for the three of us and she was knowledgeable and explained things well. I particularly enjoyed the restaurant she took us to during the Memphis, Sakkara, Giza tour.
The Mena House was amazing, as I sure you know! Everything about it was fantastic. The Radamis 1 was very nice. Better than most. My cabin was clean and quiet, which I appreciate very much. The staff was exceptional. The service for the cabin, laundry and dining room could not have been better! All of the staff were helpful and attentive. A good cruise experience!
Arriving back in Cairo, Mustaffa asked me how I enjoyed the cruise and had my final night stay at the Mena House upgraded to a suite. This was quite unexpected, but very nice of him to do. He clearly wanted me to have a positive travel experience. He also was able to change my "Sound and Light Show" outing to this night to make the transportation much quicker and easier than from the Triumph in Heliopolis. I am found him to be very service oriented. He is an asset to the agency.
I was pleased with the trip and the service of the agency. Medhat, I appreciate your professionalism and organizational skills. You are clearly what makes it work from the US. I would use you and your agency again. Thanks for all the planning you did on my behalf.

Oct 12-26, 2009 (14 Day Egypt, Jordan & Jerusalem Panorama Tour)
Our trip to Egypt, Jordan and Jerusalem, Israel in October 2009 was a great success thanks to the proficiency and professionalism of Medhat Elsergany at Right Travel and his associates overseas. Given only one week's notice, Medhat managed to pull together a comprehensive trip that included many flights, hotels and tours. We were amazed at how smoothly everything went upon our arrival, and felt comfortable and confident in the hands of our delightful private guides. We saw extraordinary sights and learned so much from certified Egyptologists. We look forward to working with Right Travel in the future.

Egypt was amazing. Right Travel helped us to have a very memorable vacation. I researched a number of travel agencies before deciding on the right company to handle such an important excursion for us. I decided to go with Right Travel because of you (Medhat). You were very responsive to my questions and accessible by phone and email. Egypt itself is simply amazing but the our tour guides ALIA and ALAA were absolutely wonderful. Alia was not only a great Egyptologist but very warm, friendly and you could tell she wanted us to enjoy vacation. I was actually sad to leave her lol. Once we got to Luxor we hit it off right from the start with Alaa. He explained the history of the temples in a way that both myself and Jason will not forget. I really feel as if I learned from both Alia and Alaa. They made our trip so much better. Mohamed our tour guide for Abu Simbel was also great and very knowledgeable.
Special thanks to Medhat for putting everything together (answering all of my many questions) and to Yassar for going above and beyond to correct a problem. I will definitely use Right Travel for my Italy and Greece vacation.
To Alia and Alaa thank so much! Jason and I both will miss you guys. You were the most important part, we really learned a lot from you and enjoyed your company as well. I am going tell my friends to request you when they travel to Egypt!
Many Thanks,
Marketa and Jason

Sep 25-Oct 06, 2009 (13 Day Legend of Egypt Tour)
We had a fabulous holiday in Egypt. Our transport and accommodation were of a high standard and your representatives greeted and informed us in a very professional manner. I have told many people on our trip about your travel company and it's excellent prices. I hope they will investigate your tours when they travel themselves. We will certainly will use you again. I think you have set up an excellent travel service and I thank you for giving 4 travellers from Australia such a memorable holiday.

Sep 22-Oct 06, 2009 (15 Day Egypt Grand Circle Tour)
There are no words that I can say to tell you how wonderful our recent trip to Egypt was. I will list my remarks below: Egypt Air: the most non-stressful flight we have ever taken. They were accommodating, fast, efficient, pleasant airline. Mena House: It was luxury beyond belief. The entire staff treated us like royalty. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and large. We absolutely loved this hotel. Our driver, Mammoud and our guide, Hussein made our experience in Cairo and Alexandria not only fun but interesting. Mustafa and Ahmed, our guides were extremely helpful. We had a slight problem with being placed on two separate flights, but Right Travel remedied the situation within minutes and took very good care of us. The MS Stephanie cruise ship was perfect. Again the staff couldn't be more accommodating. The staterooms were clean. I thoroughly enjoyed having the French balcony to sit in our stateroom and watch Egypt go by. The pool was delightful. everyone was immediately at beckon call to answer questions, and take care of us.
Ashraf: Our Egyptologist. We absolutely loved him. Not only did he take good care of us, but he educated us to the point where I thought I took a college course for credit. Ashraf is a wonderful person, knows and loves his field. He would actually take my arm and assist me up hills and stairs. We want to thank him so much for an experience we will never forget. We will miss him.
Egypt is beautiful, the people are so friendly and helpful, the cruise on the Nile was restful and I truly enjoyed sitting on deck watching Egypt go by. Your organization is the best and we will travel with you again in the near future. Thankyou, so much for making our trip so pleasant and stress free.

Sep 22-Oct 06, 2009 (15 Day Egypt Grand Circle Tour)
We had an incredible time! Our guides and drivers were very nice and our trip was very enjoyable. We were not sure what to expect and we came away enchanted by Egypt! All of the guides and drivers took care of us the entire way.
Our favorite parts were the Pyramids, the Sphynx, Abu Simbel, the temple of Hatshepsut and the temple of Hathor at Dendarah. That temple in particular was beautiful because it was under restoration and the colors were magnificent. Also, dinner at Mahmoud's house was incredible. That was the best meal we had the entire time; everything his wife made was delicious.
On the cruise, we celebrated my father-in-law's birthday and Ashraf and the cruise staff made it a very memorable one! The Boat Manager also invited us for cocktails, which was extremely nice of him. All of the people at our hotels and on board the cruise were very friendly and helpful.
Our guides were great. Please tell Hussein and Ashraf, once again, that we had a spectacular time and give our regards to Mahmoud, Mustafa and Ahmed. We are completely in love with Egypt and had a wonderful time! We would recommend Right Travel to anyone.
Thank you so much for everything!

I wanted to take the time to commend Right Travel on the fabulous excursion recently in Cairo, Egypt. My mother and I were aboard NCL Jade and arriving into Alexandria, Egypt Sept 23 & 24th. We had the option of choosing an NCL excursion, but I'm so glad we chose Right Travel. Our guide, Saed was excellent with promptness, information and graciousness, he really made my mother and I feel like we got to know him, his culture and his country.
We felt very safe and well informed throughout the two days. I must say the Mena House was a great surprise, I had no idea how beautiful it would be and the view of the Giza Pyramids were breathtaking. I have several people wanting to visit Egypt and I would give Right Travel my highest recommendation.
Thank you,

Thank you for arranging such an incredible trip! We were a bit apprehensive about connecting with your representative in Cairo, but Mustafa was waiting when we passed through customs. Alia was a wonderful guide, and we were very pleasantly surprised to find that my husband and I comprised the entire tour group!
Our cruise on the Oberoi Philae was also wonderful, and we had the opportunity to meet people from around the world as well as to see unparalleled sights. We have already been recommending Right Travel to any of our friends considering going to Egypt.
Sincerely,

The 10 day Egypt on Sale tour was amazing and everything I had hoped for. Right travel in Egypt assures that you are safe, having a good time and if there is anything need.
Alia and Alla were terrific guides that were very caring and knowledgable. I want to thank them for providing me with a fantastic overview of ancient egyptian history, and wish them many more great tours to come.

I had a great wonderful time In Egypt, it was very well organize , everything went very well,and I love small group like this, I'm very Happy, Nash the tour leader in Cairo and Ashraf the tour leader in cruiseship Aswan and Luxor was great, they were very patient and know everything , I will spread the word about Right Travel and I will use Right Travel again next year around this time. and I'm glad you accept single people that travel alone all the time like me, other travel agent don;t do that.
The Hotels were great, good that the Triump Hotel is located in Downtown area and is walking distance were I did some shopping using all my left over Egyptian pond.

Sep 03-12, 2009 (10 Day Egypt in Depth Tour )
We got home from our trip to Egypt last night, and we have so many wonderful memories! The entire experience was truly fantastic, from booking with you, to having great tours and tour guides, staying at the luxury Mena House hotel, and having a stress free Nile cruise and airline flights.
A representative of Right Travel was waiting for us at each point with a clearly marked sign. Mustafa, Ahmed, and Mohammed were all very friendly and helpful.
The Mena House hotel was amazing! The staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel is antique beautiful yet updated, and the restaurants were great. We watched a great show one night while eating dinner there. The Nile river cruise on the Stephanie was very nice as well; also with great food!
Our Cairo area tour guide, Alia, was friendly, helpful, and informative. Our Luxor to Aswan tour guide, Ashraf, was phenomenal. He was like a bookful of information about all of the sites, gods, and pharaohs. If we needed anything at all, such as time to stop at a shop, or assistance with getting to a bank, they were both very accommodating. It was also nice of them to take us to local restaurants, coffee houses, assist us in negotiating camel rides, and arrange tea at a Nubian house with a Nubian family, so we could get the most out of our Egyptian experience. We took the optional flight excursion to Abu Simbel. Though it was a very early morning flight, we were able to see the sun rise there, and we saw the sites before the bus crowds arrived. The guide at Abu Simbel, Mustafa, was also excellent. Yasser met us at the airport when we arrived in Cairo from Aswan, and shared his wife's homemade Egyptian meal with us at a coffee house, which was fantastic.
We just wanted to also mention how nice it was to be in a small group; we were with only one other couple. Being able to easily follow and hear the tour guides, ask them as many questions as we wanted was also a great part of this experience.
The people of Egypt whom we encountered were friendly and kind, the historic sites were amazing, the shopping and bargaining was a fun experience, and the food was great! Thank you so much for making our trip such a wonderful, amazing, and magnificent experience. I really hope we are able to visit Egypt again in the future, and we recommend Right Travel to everyone.
Thank you!!

Aug 31-Sep 07, 2009 (8 Day Egypt Luxury Tour Dahabiya Rihana)
The trip was very enjoyable. The cruise was fantastic. Although the scenery was great, the crew on the cruise was exceptional. We do not like to barger and the guides were able to take us to places that used less sales pressure so we felt that the guides made sure we were not taken advantage of by merchants.
The guide, Said in Cairo, was extremely accommodating. By the time we were in Cairo, we were tired of receiving lectures and just wanted to experience the sites. He was accommodating, although I believed it probably hurt his feelings that we did not want any more information, he allowed us to roam with little lecturing. However, he was always available to provide any information that we requested. Additionally, when we said we did not want to go to the rug store, as we had already been given that experience in Istanbul, or when we did not want to go to the perfume store, due to allergies, Said suggested other places that furnished an interesting and educational experience.
Although we have travelled to many different countries, going to a country with such cultural differences could make a traveller somewhat nervous about the trip. Although there were cultural differences we at ease with the arrangements. Overall, the trip was organized, well planned and totally enjoyable. We will consider Right Travel for other trips. In fact, Said informed us that Right Travel has tours in Italy. We will consider Right Travel for our trip to Italy.
Thanks for the great experience.

Aug 27-Sep 06, 2009 (11 Day Egypt Pharaonic Tour)
We were very pleased with Right Travel, the package tours you provided were complete and comprehensive and there were no surprises. We were very lucky to be in such a small group of 6 and off- season without the crowds.
The Egytptoligist on our Nile Cruise, Alaa was extremely pleasant and knowledgable. Every day was a history lesson. Hussein was our personal guide in Cairo and Alexandria and was equally as good and friendly.
We had a great trip and would recommend you to anyone planning on visitng Egypt or elsewhere, and will look at the other places you visit for next years trip.
Thanks,
Gary & Dave

Dear Right Travel,
We just wanted to let you know that we had a great time on this tour. Egypt was indescribably amazing!! No one should miss Egypt and should plan to go at least once in their life time! They would also need to be sure to take it with Right Travel.
It is extremely important for us to tell you that we want you to recognize our specific Tour guide Said Moktar who showed us around Cairo twice on two different days. We have never met anyone so passionate and knowledgeable about Egypt and its history. We learned so much while we were there. He was very professional and courteous who seemed to know not only the sights very well but all the people who were associated with the sights. Everyone seemed to be very happy to see him everywhere we went. He was very friendly and fun to be with. We hope that others who visit Cairo will have the same incredible opportunity we had with Said Moktar. We highly recommend that you call on him to showcase Cairo. Please extend our many thanks to him and to Medhat Elsergany who arranged our entire trip and was always there for us when we called.
Sincerely,
Greg and Annie Stevens

I had an excellent experience on my Egypt tour in August 2009. Every aspect of the tour from air flight, hotel, and ground transportation ran smoothly. The tour guides were courteous and made sure my time in Egypt was comfortable. The guides had a vast knowledge of Egyptian history and answered any question I had. I would recommend any one who wants a great experience to book a tour with Right travel.

We had a great time on our trip. Ahmed and Mustafa were absolutely fantastic. Nash was our Egyptologist in Cairo and was very passionate about the history which was a pleasure. Ashraf was by far the most knowledgeable and assisted us in every way possible. Ahmed was our tour manager and made the trip the most enjoyable, he not only made sure we had a great time but he made sure that we experienced Cairo to its fullest. Our family will never forget this experience, especially my children.
Thanks for everything,

Aug 20-29, 2009 (10 Day Egypt in Depth Tour)
Good Morning Medhat,
What an amazing visit we had in Egypt this past two weeks. I have to say I was a little concerned when I booked the trip online. This started as a vacation and became an adventure. The staff in Cairo, Ahmed, Hussein and Mustafa were amazing. We never worried about a thing. Hussein our guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun with him. It was a pleasure to meet him.
Once we were in Luxor, we met up with Alaa. He was the perfect match for us. Extremely fascinating to listen to. He has a passion for Egypt that mesmerized us all. We wanted for nothing. Not only did he show us the sites but he showed us Egypt. The people, customs and traditions. Our last minute trip to the Nubian village was unbelievable. We were his first tour with Right-Travel and I believe he will be a great asset to your company. We will think of him often.
We had the pleasure of meeting Yassar at Philae, and I would like to congratulate him for putting together an excellent staff. Everything was well beyond our expectations. I look forward to traveling with Right-Travel again in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.
Sincerely,
Suzanne, Samantha, and Ric

Hi Medhat,
Thanks for your email. Sorry for my late response because I need to handle a thousand of work after back office.
For this few days travelling in Egypt, I saw what your professional service provided and my wife and me is very satisfied your arrangement. Tour guide and driver are very reliable. I don't need to worry about our safety being following our tour guide.
I can suggest what we want to see or visiting to the guide. The private tour makes it more flexible. I think it should be the most important highlight of our tour.
Also, Hotel is so grand and it provides a super comfortable environment for us to take a rest. We can enjoy a shower; air-condition room, Queen Size bed, big room with balcony, Pyramids view, big pool, under good security, delicious food and so on.
Although I may not go Egypt again, I must recommend "Right-Travel" to our friend if they want to visit Egypt.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Mr. Wing & Ms. Shan

July 27-Aug 04, 2009 (9 Day Egypt Luxury Tour)
Right Travel,
I’ve just returned from my ‘9 Day Luxury Cruise’ to Egypt, I was a little apprehensive at first booking a tour online. However, Medhat Elsergany provided all the information and answered all my questions. And after talking to him I felt better about using ‘Right Travel’.
Once I arrived in Cairo, Mustafa met me the airport, and assisted me with visa and my luggage. The driver Gilany El Saeed was waiting and took me directly to the hotel. The next morning Gilany and Said Mokhtar met me promptly at 9:00am at the hotel. Over the next three Gilany, Mustafa and Said showed me all the sights and sounds of Cairo, fantastic! They were best tour guide team I’ve ever traveled with; Great Job Guys.
During the Nile cruise the entire crew of the ‘Sonesta St. George’ were helpful and polite especially the Front Desk. My guide (sorry, forgot his name) was very skilled and knowledgeable. Ahmed Wizry was great, he called me several times to see if I needed anything and showed me around Luxor. The food onboard the Sonesta was fresh, well-prepared and plenty of it.
I would like to recognize the efforts of the entire ‘Right Travel’ team and especially Mustafa, Said & Gilany; they turned my trip into an adventure. Mr. Yasser Salah, be proud of your team and thanks for accompanying me to the airport to make sure everything was OK. I will recommend ‘Right Travel’ to all my family and friends.
A million thanks,
Zack

Hello Hussein,
Thank you so very much for the excellent job you did in guiding us around Cairo. We thoroughly enjoyed the Pyramids of Giza and seeing the Sphinx, Memphis and Sakkara. Really enjoyed the Egyptian Museum, the Mummy Room, the Citadel of Mohamed Ali and learning how papyrus is made. The papyrus we purchased made it back to Utah safely.
We hope things are well with you and Mohamed and Mostafa. Please tell them hello for us and thank you to all of you for taking such good care of us while we were in Cairo. Especially thank you for helping with my wife and the wheelchair.
We miss Mohamed's smile.
Our best to all of you.
Sincerely,

May 28-Jun 07, 2009 (11 Day Egypt Pharaonic Tour)
Got back from Egypt on Sunday, the trip exceeded our expectations. Our hotel in Cairo, the Mena House Palace, was the best hotel we've ever stayed in anywhere! Gorgeous! There was nothing between our room and the Great Pyramid save a few lovely palms and perhaps one-half mile. What a view!
Our cruise ship, the M/S Stephanie, was also very nice, seemingly the equal of anything on the Nile. Good food and a very attentive staff, particularly in the dining room. Best of all were the guides. Nashaat is a street-wise guy perfect for the urban environments of Cairo and Alexandria. But, when it came time for some in-depth Egyptology, Ashraf was the ultimate choice. We enjoyed both men immensely. They became friends and we're actually going to miss them. Mustafa, the Cairo office manager, proved to be exceptionally attentive and reliable. He had a lot of schedule juggling with our itinerary, and he never missed a beat. Our Cairo driver, Mohammed, was very skilled (which is crucial with Cairo's harrowing traffic) and a most pleasant fellow.
There is nothing that Right Travel promised that wasn't delivered. Visiting Egypt requires a tour company, a very good tour company. No one could have done better than Right Travel did for us.
Would we recommend Right Travel to others? Without hesitation. Great value for the money.
Thanks.

Hello,
I just returned from my trip from Egypt. Everything on the trip was great. The hotel and the cruise ship were great places to stay and both tour guides we very friendly, spoke good English, and knew the history very well. I'd like to take a moment to point out that my tour guide Said Mokhtar (hope I spelled him name correctly) in Cairo and Alexandria went above and beyond to help make my trip to Egypt a fabulous vacation. Please send my thanks to Said. All our drivers we great and very safe drivers, and our reps who helped us with our flights and checking into our hotel were very friendly and helpful.
If you have any questions or would like more feedback about any part of the trip please let me know.
Thank-you,

May 05-15, 2009 (11 Day Egypt & Red Sea Panorama)
I apologize for not writing sooner but we have been busy unpacking and getting back to the daily grind. We wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time on our trip to Egypt! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the extensive history while seeing the pyramids, temples, and tombs and we were given enough time to relax. All of our accommodations were gorgeous with attentive staff who treated us like royalty. We could not thank them enough for taking such good care of us and our rooms.
We absolutely loved both of our guides; Sihid in Cairo was very welcoming and made sure that we were able to see what we wanted to see. We appreciated him keeping in touch with Right Travel to confirm our pick up times to the airport because those transfers were a bit of a concern. Ashraf on the Nile cruise was also a delight. We was incredibly knowledgeable and loved just sitting and talking about life in Egypt. We were very pleased that he personally took it upon himself to make sure that street vendors and shop owners would not try and take advantage of us. In my past experiences, most guides are never so kind and attentive, so we were extremely happy to have such caring people show us their country.
Overall we would not only recommend people going to visit Egypt but we would recommend using Right Travel as well. The transitions were smooth, we felt safe, and loved our accommodations and guides which is more than what most people get on their trips.
Thank you again for all of your help!

Dear Medhat:
I just got back last night from the trip. It was an amazing and wonderful trip. I didn't need to worry about anything because it was all organized so well. All of the airport transfers were there on time and were very helpful. They were so professional and always wore suits or were dressed professionally. I was very impressed with Right Travel and the whole trip went very smoothly, thanks to the outstanding planning you did.
This was a trip that I will never forget and I have nothing but praise for Right Travel and the way you handled and organized the full trip. My compliments to ALL of your staff in Egypt: friendly and professional airport transfers, excellent drivers and knowledgeable guides. The hotels were top of the line, the services in the hotels were excellent, rooms ready on time, food was great. The cruise was unforgetable, I loved it. Everyone was so attentive to the needs of customers. I found the Egyptians to be very friendly and helpful. Jordan was no different: excellent service and professionalism. I was always at the airports on time and I never worried about anything.
I am more than happy to have chosen Right Travel for this trip and I will most definitely chose Right Travel for my next trip which may very well be next year.
Thank you again for an amazing job. I have traveled the world but this was top notch work from Right Travel.
Sincerely,
Claude Cassagne

April 03-12, 2009 (10 Day Egypt in Depth Tour)
We had a wonderful time! Your team did a good job! Your Ten day Egypt by Rail is the best vacation we have ever had! Your guides Hussein, in Cairo and Ashof, on the cruise were very knowledgeable and friendly. The transfer agents were good and Ahmed was so professional and personable when our train was delayed to leave for Luxor. Our driver Sameh in particular was excellent in having the van ready to go and cool when we got in. They all made us feel like royalty. Of course Egypt is a must see, but want we loved the most about this country was your local staff. The Royal Esadora had excellent food and cabins and the day trips were amazing. If we ever come back to Egypt, we will be traveling with you. I have already told 30 friends what a great vacation it was!
Sincerely,

Mar 25-29, 2009 (Custom Tour Egypt)
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip that you coordinated for us in Egypt. Everything went smoothly. We had two terrific tour guides- Alia Tohamy in Cairo and Ashraf Mokhtar in Luxor. Both were very professional and knowledgeable! Alia truly went above and beyond her day with us. I would highly recommend either as a tour guide. I'm glad that we took Yasser's recommendation about the Four Seasons First Residence-it was a lovely hotel with all of the amenities that you would expect from the Four Seasons. They had a beautiful health club, the rooms were spacious, and the staff were courteous. The hotel in Luxor was fine as well. I would highly recommend the restaurant that we ate at in Luxor-Salahadeen located in the Mara Inn. It was by far the best food that we had while in Egypt!
Everything went very smoothly with the airport transfers as well. I would be happy to recommend your firm for others who might want a recommendation for travel to Egypt.
Many thanks,
Lori Weiss

Thank you so very much for all of your organization's assistance during our trip to Egypt. Your associates were all excellent and their services indispensible. We would have had a very difficult time without their help. As it was, we had a truly delightful time!
Particularly, we would like to commend Mr. Hussein Ahmed, our guide throughout the trip. He was a joy to be with, most helpful in all respects, most knowledgeable about matters Egyptian, and a learned gentleman besides! We cannot recommend him highly enough! He was truly marvelous! Please thank him again for us.
We will surely recommend Right Travel to our acquaintances, and seek to employ your services ourselves, God willing, again. Many thanks. Shokran!

Hello,
I enjoyed my trip to Egypt. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The tours guides all provided informative facts about Egypt's history. All staff was available to answer questions and assistance, including the staff at hotel and on the cruise ship. It was definitely a good experience. As a woman traveling alone overseas for the first time I was a little nervous, but I never felt unsafe or alone while on the trip.
Overall it was a wonderful trip and I would recommend your company for anyone traveling to Egypt.
Thank You

We're back. As promised, here comes the feedback. We had a good time, met ascinating people, saw wonderful, unforgettable sights. we were always met on time, taken excellent care of. Your arrngements were spot on in every way. So THANK YOU!
We really would like to compliment you on the calibre of your guides. Our first guide, for Luxor (Karnak, Luxor, Valley of Kings and Queens) was named Ashraf - I don't know his surname, he was extremely knowledgeable, and once he realised we had lots of questions for him, he really went in-depth. We enjoyed his company enormously, and learned a great deal from him.
On board, Hussein Ahmed was a problem solver, always courteous and charming. A great story teller when guiding! However, we didn't spend a lot of time with him. But the best of all was Ahmed Elkadi, a freelance guide who accompanied us to Aswan Dam, Philae, a Nubian village tour, a carriage drive tour of Aswan City, and finally to Abu Simbel. Nothing was too much trouble for him, we felt as if we were leaving a good
friend when we departed. We would like to recommend him to you, he spoke by far the best English of all the guides we encountered, his command of the language is quite astonishing.
We had a wonderful trip. We are simply giving you honest feedback, which may or may not be useful to you. We will recommend our family and friends to use your services should they ever decide to take a trip to Egypt.
kind regards
Karin and Mats Eriksson.

It was great!
Comparing and observing other tours (Esp the NAME TOUR COMPANIES) Yours was MUCH better. WHY? Cramming 30/40 people in a bus, getting that number in front of something to see, keeping their attention in the noise and confusion of peddlers, other tours, cameras flashing every few seconds and the heat of people standing too close to see or hear; then chasing them back into the bus (always losing one or two to a peddler or another picture) was STUPID.
We had a few people join or at least sneak a listen to our guide. THE HIGH PRICE TOURS GOT LESS. YOU GAVE MORE FOR LESS! Calmer, learned more, saw more, had more interaction with the Egyptian people and fun little asides - a horse carriage ride thru town rather than a BUS - A carriage ride is FASTER and more FUN - a stop for a special Egyptian drink warm drink - a stop to talk to some 10 year old school kids on the way home from school - Advice - don't buy this souvenir at this location, buy it at that one.

Good Morning:
Got in late last night. Wonderful trip!
All your recommendations were right on the money, current and valid. The train ride was worth it and we were met promptly at the train station in Luxor. Your program outline/commitment letter was extremely detailed and didn't leave any detail out.
Your guide, Tarek, made last minute changes based on a revised cruise schedule and did not compromise any area of the tours. He was very knowledgeable of Egypt and open to our asking numerous questions. He made sure that he covered the key points as well as any side trips needed to answer our questions.
The Nile Crown III was incredibly clean and well managed. Our room was great and well taken care of by the staff. We knew that the passengers were primarily German/Austrian prior to getting on board -- this made it interesting as we speak basic German. The food was well prepared. I would recommend this boat to anyone.
The driver to Aswan Airport was early and made sure that we were fully checked in before he left us in the waiting area.
I have no problem recommending Right Travel and welcome any contacts from potential customers concerning your sound business practices.
Special thanks to you Cairo Manager, for his checking in with us to make sure that everything is OK.
T. W. Strahs
