Simply Magical

Our group of friends chose this tour, and it was a phenomenal experience. The guides were charismatic and funny, making the days of sightseeing feel like a fun outing rather than a history lesson. We especially enjoyed the horse-and-carriage ride at Edfu, which was a fun and memorable part of the trip. The cruise ship offered a great space for us to relax and socialize in the evenings.
