The trip was special, this trip was on my bucket list. In Cairo we saw Cairo Museum, Mosques, Christian Churches, Pyramids, Sphynx, and so on. Our guides were fantastic. We got to ride our camels to a Nubian village. The temples, the Valley of the Kings, I could go on and on, the whole trip was very special. All the little details were handled, everything was just great. The people were very friendly, a lot of smiles. The drivers and tour guides were friendly and very helpful. Our tour guides Sabor and Carmona were excellent. Both very passionate about Egypt and their history. They both made our trip very special. Anastacio Robles

Our tour was perfectly organised with passionate and caring guides and very competent drivers. Every event was run to time with no hitches, despite chaotic Cairo traffic. Great to have our private guide travel with us on Nile River Cruise from Aswan to Luxor, something we have not experienced on other river cruises, and also to be met at airport on arrival by Mohammad to help organise our entry into Egypt. Would recommend your company to others.

Odynovo did an incredible job organizing and making sure our tour of Egypt turned out to be an amazing and carefree experience. Odynovo’s Travel Consultant, Ella Chen, worked with my wife and me to develop the perfect 13 day-tour of Egypt to see and experience everything important. Odynovo’s local guides and drivers were remarkably expert, attentive, and skilled to ensure a carefree and safe experience of every memorable day of our Egyptian journey. We knew that Ella Chen and Odynovo were always available, but the local guides handled everything so skillfully and expeditiously that occasional communication with Ella was just to let her know that everything was perfect!
