Postcards from Egypt

Dear Mark

We returned from Egypt on Friday 20 after a great trip. Everything worked very smoothly. The felucca was great, and by far the best hotel was the one in Luxor. Other arrangements and additional day-trips were well-organised at short notice. The airport transfers were very good as well.

The guides were excellent - Abdul was a very effective organiser in Cairo, and Ahmed (our main tour guide) was excellent, very popular, great company, and explained the history and sites very well indeed, particularly in the museum where his commentary was superb. It is a very difficult task to highlight such a vast collection in a few words for a mixed audience with some knowledge/interest and also none. We had a very nice bunch of friendly people, which made it very companionable and fun. There were very few other tourists at most of the monuments - nice for us. It was generally sunny but not particularly hot most of the time - I suggest you recommend with slightly greater emphasis to people travelling in January that they should bring a warm jacket, woolly hat, and if sleeping on the felucca, a proper outdoor sleeping bag.

I am sure I will be doing another tour with 'On the Go' at some stage in the future.

Best wishes,

I have just returned from your Sandblaster tour and wanted to say how much my family appreciated your guide Mahmoud Ramadan. He really went the extra mile to look after us, which was very much appreciated – especially since my husband was unable to join my daughters and myself for the desert portion of the trip. He was also always fascinating and informative on all of the sites we visited and was great at even making the longer journeys interesting, with the little surprise stops he planned – a tea-break in the desert for Bedouin tea, our own special, secret “crystal mountain” away from the one frequented by other tourists and many other things. His knowledge of Egyptology is very impressive and he is a great ambassador for Egypt, and Islam and a very honest and pleasant young man. We felt completely safe in his care and he represented OntheGo as a company in an excellent light. The two off-road drivers who took us through the desert (Henay and Mohammed were also very good. In addition to being excellent drivers, who made us feel completely safe at all times, they worked really hard and cooked some great desert meals). The whole trip – the desert, the felucca and the monuments - has been memorable and, despite the current electoral situation – we felt completely safe in all locations.

Hi there,
I am writing to give feedback about my recent trip with On the Go. I went on the Road to Jordan - leaving the 21st of December. I had a brilliant time and the Egyptian guide Momo was fantastic. He was so much fun, organized, enthusiastic and knowledgable. He did such a great job getting the 'family' to interact and was very accomodating to such a big group. Momo was an awesome guide who I would highly recommend to anybody considering a trip to Egypt. I can't believe how much we seen in such a short space of time!

Thanks for an amazing trip!

I would just like to inform you about my holiday I had in Egypt over Christmas and new year, on the Festive King Ramses tour. I have never been on a tour before and now I would fully recommend it, your company is amazing, always on time and have things arranged, I was never let down or disappointed in any part of onthego.
All of the reps were very nice. I would like to say a big thank you and really praise our tour guide called Momo, he added the finishing touches to the tours and journeys, he was very friendly, funny, making us all feel welcome and all coming together as a group. I was surprised in all the knowledge and information he has and the things he knows about Egypt. I think it's amazing how someone can hold all of that information. I found him very approachable, I was confident to talk to him when I had concerns, and he reassured me. Momo seams like he loves his job and gets great pleasure in mixing with different people and travelling around. It was sad to say goodbye to him.
I have recommend onthego to my friends and family, also encouraging them to go to the beautiful country of Egypt. Im already thinking of coming back.

Good morning! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help with our trip. It was fantastic!!!

Hi Ryan,
Happy New Year!
I just wanted to let you know that we all had a marvellous holiday with On the Go in Egypt. All the Reps & Guides were great & we all got so much out of the trip.
We didnt manage to do the deep sea fishing trip but instead went snorkelling which was a real high-light.


Thanks again for all your hard work!

Kind Regards,

Very well organised, plenty of tour guide +assistance available. Local knowledge was fantastic. The pace of the tour was great. our guide, Haytham did a wonderful job. Well done.

Had the best experience of my life & enjoyed the company + friendliness of all the staff. Most of all, I would do a tour with Haitham everytime. He was fantastic!
