Dear Dina,
Thank you for your kind follow up letters and interest in our opinion of the tour! So sorry to take so long in replying to you.
Our Egypt holiday was really a memorable one, thanks to you and our great tour guides, Mr. Sam and Mr. Mahmoud. They were very knowlegable and we learned much from them about Egypt and it's history, customs, and culture. We were very happy about how the day was planned. Also, we were surprised that the lunch was included and were very happy to get a great meal at TGI Friday's on the river. That was a nice break. We're not sure what we ate that didn't agree with us, but unfortunately the next day myself and my wife were both very sick with a stomach virus and had to stay in the hotel room most of the day. It continued for several more days but not as bad as the first day. I know this cannot be helped...we probably were just not accustomed to the different water or food.
I would rate the tour "first class" and will recommend you to my friends and coworkers! Since I have been back I've had many questions about my experiences there and many people are interested in going to Egypt! I work at Delta Air Lines, so as you know we can travel "free" on a standby status. So many of my coworkers are interested in going and I will defintely refer them to your company.
May I make a few recommendations to you though? If possible, it would be very convenient if payment for the tour could be made by credit card. I know many of my friends do not like to carry much cash. Also, if possible since many people are not used to the desert heat of Egypt, it would be great if there was a cooler with bottled water and soft drinks in it for drinking throughout the day. We would have even been willing to pay for them as it would have been more convenient than buying them from the vendors at each place we stopped.
Thank you so much for organizing the tour for us. My family and I have great memories of our trip and were able to get great photos also. We will definitely contact you in the future if we make another trip to Egypt!
Sincere thanks,
Willard Benedict
