Well Planned Trip Package, Excellent Service.
Uniworld was just fabulous.
Great tour. Uniworld is top of the line in all river cruises and Egypt is no exception. Super ship, staff, and tour guide. We liked it so much, we will book it again.
Large cabins on the River Tosca. Great staff and excellent meals. Included excursions were almost all good. The exception was the high tea at the Cataract Hotel and the sound and light show in Cairo. The Egyptologist was excellent- very knowledgeable and helpful to the point of even doing some currency exchange.
We had a great time The tour guide was terrific and the hotel and cruise ship were excellent. We visited all of the major sites It was a top notch trip!

Uniworld should advise potential customers of the level of activity, especially for this trip. While I personally had no problems with the demanding Itinerary, the elderly or disabled could not visit some of the sites we saw due to accessibility. Uniworld rents their boats so there is no consistency from trip to trip. This was a very beautiful, spacious boat and the staff were incredibly gracious and helpful. We felt very welcomed and appreciated. Four seasons was nice but food was too expensive and there were no alternatives since we were warned not to venture out on our own. Customer should be warned that they will be escorted by armed guards and there will be a lot of security checks on this trip.
