Trafalgar did a great job with getting us safely from arrival to departure. There was a tour manager all the way to make sure we knew where to go in the airport. The itinerary wasn't jam-packed. It provided us with some relaxing time as well. I'd hope that Abu Simbel would be integrated into the itinerary because it was quite pricey for an optional tour. Throughout the tour, we felt safe and well informed as to what we can and cannot take pictures of.

the service provided by Trafalgar was beyond my expectation, made me very comfortable with the arrival and departure from Egypt, protected and guided all the way through with first class accommodations, transfers and guided tours, the whole trip was well organized, safe and enjoyable.
