This was our first group tour ever and my family and I are greatly impressed and grateful this was our first experience as we had a complete blast! MoMo, our tour guide, made the trip, he went above and beyond to accommodate everyone one on the tour. He was also extremely knowledgeable, humorous and very patient with everyone. I can't say enough positive things, because of our outstanding experience we would definitely consider another group tour with On The Go. MoMo, you're the best.”
We loved this tour and visiting all the sites in Egypt and Jordan. We made many new friends and the pace was great. Our tour guides were very passionate and made the tour great, we loved the trip and will use On the Go again.”
Dino our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable about Egypt, very responsive to questions and he had useful tips to ensure we were kept safe and happy. He has a great attitude and was a pleasure to tour with.
It would be nice to stay in places for a bit longer to get a feel to the area and also be more relaxed rather than constantly travelling, but we acknowledge that is hard given the relatively short length of the tour.”
