1. What type of people will be on my tour?
A typical group will have international mix of travellers. Our passengers come from all walks of life and from all over the English speaking world. Our group tours suit the spirited traveller, so you're likely to have plenty in common with other members of the group before you even meet. We attract many solo travellers, some couples and from time to time, groups of friends.
We do not have any age restrictions on our tours, though most of our travellers are aged 30 and upwards. We also have special group tours designed exclusively for families. |

7. Do I qualify for an arrival transfer at any time on Day 1?
Arrival into Cairo - Day 1 - To save you the inconvenience of haggling for a cab, if arriving on Day 1 of the tour or arriving earlier than Day 1 and purchasing additional pre-tour accommodation from on the go, we will provide you with an arrival transfer to our pre-tour hotel in Cairo. If arriving prior to 7:00am on Day 1 (essentially on a flight that arrives into Cairo very, very early) it is prudent to consider pre-purchasing an additional night's accommodation to save you waiting until the usual hotel check in time, which is generally around 14-15:00 hours. By pre-purchasing an additional night's accommodation to cover a very early arrival will ensure you have a room to retire to and you will qualify for our arrival transfer. If not willing to pre-purchase an additional night's accommodation, please consider booking on a carrier that arrives into Cairo later and you will qualify for a transfer in the usual way. |
