Here are reviews from people who have taken our Nile River trips …
“My experience in Egypt was so positive, the learning so deep, that I'm happy to share it with any and all who will listen. This culture, beyond ancient, must be experienced in person. We sailed on the Nile, walked on the sands, entered the tombs and stood amongst the columns of Luxor. Calling this ‘the experience of a lifetime’ hardly touches it.”
— Grace from Brunswick, Maine
“If you have ever dreamed of walking among the Great Pyramids, running your fingers along the giant ancient sandstone hieroglyphs in Luxor or sailing across the Nile in a genuine felucca, then these are the programs for you. Our Egyptologists worked tirelessly to ensure our experience at each site was educational, meaningful and fun. We learned so much about Egypt and this beautiful yet ancient corner of the world.”
— Rebecca from San Jose, Calif.
