Alexander The Great Nile Cruise

5 Star Luxury Nile Cruise Ship

"Hi Barbara,

We just wanted to thank you so much for all your hard work and the trouble you went to in making our holiday in Egypt run so smoothly. As you know, we booked very late in the day and although we were not able to stay in the 'brochure hotels', the substitutes you found for us were just as good, if not better, and suited our requirements much more.

Our boat the Alexander The Great was absolutely fabulous. Small and intimate but you did not live in each others pockets and your description of it was just perfect. The staff were very helpful, food fantastic, but our overall thanks must go to 'Yasser', our guide on board, who was fun, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic that it was infectious. We certainly did not feel 'templed-out' and the word 'Angels' has come to have a special meaning to us.

We were also very well looked after in Cairo. 'Hany', our guide there, ensured that we were well looked after and our day trip to The Pyramids, Saqqara and finally the Sound and Lights Show was very good value.

Thank you once again it was a real pleasure doing business with you and will have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends".

Best wishes,

Lesley & Peter
