Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Would send friends their way.

Well paced over 11 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would book with them again.

Nile and Petra done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would send friends their way.

Well paced over 11 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would book with them again.
