See what other people are saying about our tours:

The representatives were prepared and the guides were knowledgeable and personable!

After our cancelled flight made us a day late, the rest of the trip was perfect!! We were grateful that Travel Discounters and Blue Sky were able to modify our tour to make up for most of the things we missed that first day. Blue Sky was absolutely wonderful!! They took such good care of us. The representatives were always prepared and the guides were knowledgeable and personable. We'd like to especially recommend Rehab Agag in Cairo. She was really great!!

The Jordan tour was also good. Our driver, Kamel, was nice and very experienced. We missed having our own guide, however. The hired guides at the sites were OK, but not great. Wadi Rum was probably not worth the drive. The hotels were really nice.

Our favorite part was sitting on the sun deck of the cruise ship after touring and watching Egypt go by.

Thanks for arranging a memorable vacation for us.

This tour exceeded our expectations!

We enjoyed our "First class Egypt Tour + Jordan" Trip. We had a great time! We were so impressed at the services that the Guides provided us, especially, the Cairo team (ie. Team leader, Mohammed, our driver, Saki and tour guide, Rahinia). The company was so organized!

We also enjoyed Jordan, although the schedule is a little tight. Driving from Amman to Petra can Wadi Rum and back to Amman, could be improved by having an extra night in Petra.

Overall, the itinerary was great to really experience Egypt and Jordan. The service was good. The tour exceeded our expectations!

Thanks.

Allen

We got royal treatment in both countries Egypt and Jordan!

Everything went very well in Egypt and Jordan. South Sinai travel group looked after us from the time we landed until last day when we took off for Jordan. In Jordan this other agency looked after us. We got royal treatment in both countries. It is all because of you. You did an excellent job of arranging everything. Everything was first class.

Thank You very much again for arranging a wonderful trip.
