“The staff of Luxury Escapes in Egypt was exceptional. In particular our guide in Cairo, Mr Sherif, went above and beyond—excellent in his management of all aspects of our Egypt Tour. In particular his efficiency and kindness in recovering my lost camera at Abu Simbel and arranging its transfer to Cairo, collecting it from the airport at 1.00 am and returning it to me at 9.00 am before our departure to Jordan was remarkable.

“We opted for the private tour through Vietnam from Hanoi, through Hoi An and finishing in Ho Chi Minh City. We were simply so impressed by our private tour guide, Mi, who possessed an abundance of knowledge of all cities (and broader context of Vietnam) that we visited.

Mi was so polite and explained everything in such a clear manner, always going to extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, checking if we needed rest or refreshment, etc. and just being a very pleasant guide to experience Vietnam with.

All the hotels and attractions were of high calibre and the down time incorporated into the trip was very well divided - we did not feel tired at any point. Can’t express our gratitude enough and would recommend this trip to others! Thanks again Mi and the team at Luxury Escapes for getting our private tour to be a major success! Cheers!”
