Highlights of Morocco

The tour was nice and we had a lot of free time. For the negative points, they do match exactly to other reviews. 4 x 4 desert excursion was/is not a desert excursion. We saw a community garden, a 10 minute music show and we met a nomadic family. It was nice to meet the nomadic family, great experience, but the desert part was totally missing. An overpriced desert excursion with the most important part missing. The tour description should be changed. A lot of overpriced tourism shops stop. It's part of the deal doing tours like this, but the stops should be planned in order to allow a traveller to see something of the city. In Fez we spent a lot of time in a pottery shop in the morning, we had no time to see the medina properly and in the end we did nothing in the afternoon. As it was friday, all was closed  in the medina in the afternoon. Wrong planning.The hike was: "Let's rush up the mountain and then you have the afternoon free." Soak up nature, the view and the local people you meet? Nope. I was told that we needed to get to the hostel as quickly as possible and that we would have time for us once we arrived. I went up with the group, down and up again alone and was back at the hostel a few minutes before dinner. Not sure if a hike like this makes sense? I normally start the tour giving the basic tip and if I am very happy, at the end of the trip, I give a little extra. The tour guide refused the money telling me that I have to give the tip separately for him and the driver and that I can give it at the end. Well, at the end I gave zero tip. He was actually a good guide, he knows his job, but he said two things that are a no go for me. One was in relation to an experience he had with a traveller in a previous tour. What happens in a group should stay in the group if the event does touch the personal sphere of a traveller. A tour guide should NOT/NEVER "sell" a mental health issue as something funny and not normal. Two days before the end of the tour we had our goodbye dinner. We had a goodbye round at the restaurant as a few of the group decided to stay there longer and once we arrived at the hotel, I said goodbye, waved my hand and left without to give a tip. The morning after, at breakfast only two travellers of my group were not there and I was very surprised that the person at my table did not respond twice to my greeting attempt as I had a good time with her. It soon came out that the guide informed that I gave zero tip, adding that I gave him a hard time. I was asked by a traveller what happened because she did not notice that something was wrong. No one noticed, because I never complained. They were there to enjoy holidays not to listen to my complaints. I did not complain for the full tour. I was unhappy about the attitude he had twice and I decided to give no tip. End of story. The person that did not respond to my hello asked other group members to please write a review about how great Abdul was even if a traveller gave him a hard time. No idea what the guide told this lady about me and I actually don't care at all. Unnecessary and pointless behavior for getting no tip. If he had a problem with me, he had to tell me and not the rest of the group. Unfair to include the full group in an issue that was not an issue. As mentioned before, mental health issues of previous travelers are private. They are not funny stories to tell to future travellers. A bad way to end a trip that was really nice.

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included

This was a action packed tour from start to end and we wished we had factored in a few days in Sham or Hurghada at the end just for dome down time. We spent one night in Cairo before visiting the pyramids and the splinx on day 2. Amazing. Also flew to luxor on day 2 to board the cruise. The nile cruise was magical. The boat was Ok but a little dated. Unfortunately you don't get to chose which boat you would like. The staff were friendly and helpful and you are expected to tip for everything and every where. Food was also good.

Essential Egypt (5 Star Hotels)

Ask for Mostafa as your tour guide because he is an awesome tour guide. He is professional and caring. Mostafa is energetic and knowledgeable and he does his best to enjoy your challenging Egypt trip. Mostafa is supportive and well-behaved which made our trip absolutely fun and a success. His communication was perfect during the trip which help us to enjoy the trip without any time waste. Also, he did more than his job description and assisted us to visit some places that were not designated in our plan. Personally appreciate his manner and his great job. Thank Mostafa for upholding such high standards and being an excellent tour guide.

Goddess Hathor - 8 Days (5 stars)

A great tour. Very well organised and ran smoothly when we did come across problems our wonderful guide Anas fixed them quickly. Good sized groups and able to do as much or as little of the itinerary as we wished.

Footsteps Of The Pharaohs - Included Internal Flights

The organisation of this tour was very good - apart from a slight hiccup when I arrived and the pickup crew were at the wrong terminal, all my other connections went very smoothly. Harry was excellent at responding to questions and checking in that everything was going okay - thanks Harry! The local guides for Cairo and the Nile Cruise (Abdul and Abdul) were also excellent - very friendly, organised and extremely knowledgeable. Itinerary is very comprehensive and I felt that I pretty much got to see the main sights I was interested in - would definitely recommend the Abu Simbel excursión and the hot air balloon ride over Luxor (be prepared for a very early starts!) You can probably find these activities cheaper if you research yourself, but I bought it together for the convenience. Hotels were very comfortable and nice, with good facilities. Nile Cruise was very enjoyable. Food was a bit variable - some very average and some very good. Would recommend paying into the tipping kitty at the beginning of the trip as it makes the experience a lot more relaxed and enjoyable. Will recommend to my family and friends ?

Best time for travel shades of ireland.

While just about any month is great to visit Ireland, there are a few prime times of the year for the Shades of Ireland tour. Here are some recommendations from our destination experts.

Spring: There is no better time to be in Ireland than March, for Saint Patrick’s Day! With spring weather, places like the Cliffs of Moher feel a bit warmer and have a clearer view for photographs.

Summer: Summer is a very busy time of year, but perfect for enjoying the buzz and excitement of Dublin. As the sun sets late in the evening, longer days mean having more time to explore, and you’ll see the Emerald Isle at its greenest.

Fall: After the summer months, major sites become much less crowded. Enjoy the changing colors and still-moderate temperatures of the rolling hillsides.
