  1. This is set up for question and answers.

    We are flying British Airways to London Heathrow arriving at 6:25 a.m. and continuing to Rome on British Airways at 7:30 am. Is there enough time for us to make this connection? Thank you.

  2. Wondering if anyone has recently used Ramses Tours for an overnight tour while in Egypt? Will be using them in a few months and was wondering if someone could give a review of how their recent tour was with them. I have read many posts from people who are booked with them for upcoming excursions, but not from anyone who has actually used them recently. Did you visit everything as planned? Any info will be most appreciated.

    I just want to tell you what a wonderful experience we had with the two tours we took -- full day Cairo and half day Alexandria.

    Nivene (guide) and Achmed (driver) were just exceptional and went out of their way to make sure that we had a great visit. Nivene is probably the most knowledgeable guide I have ever had.

     

    These two tours were a far-cry from the experience we had in Jordan (Petra). We booked this tour through Cruise Critic and I understood it was a Ramses Tour but I am sure it was not. We were to have been picked up at the Port at 6:00 a.m. and they did not come until after 8:00 a.m. There were two tour groups and both had the same experience. We then had to walk nearly a mile to the gate as we were told the buses could not enter.

     

    When we arrived in Alexandria I was apprehensive that we would have the same experience and we were very pleased to see our guide waiting at the Port (and I understand she had been there for twenty minutes). In addition, when we visited the Library a gentleman approached Nivene and asked her if she could help find a book in the bookshop and she very quickly got him the information he needed. I am sure you are well aware of her outstanding qualities as a tour guide and representative of your Company but I just wish to confirm that we were more than pleased with our experience in Cairo and Alexandria.

    The above is a letter I wrote to Ramses Tours on my return from Egypt (Brilliance of the Seas - April 19 - May 4). I cannot speak highly enough about the two tours we had with them -- just outstanding.
