Hello,
We were on a tailor-made tour of Egypt and Jordan in August-Sept of this year that included our daughter, son, and daughter-in-law along with us and wanted to make sure you know how happy were were with our tour guides in both counties.
We were given review papers to fill out when we left both both Egypt and Jordan, but we don't feel we had enough time to fill them out properly since they were given to us as we were preparing to leave each country.
Our Egyptian tour Guide, Medo (Ahmed) was wonderful. He loves Egyptian history and I loved the way his eyes would light up when he was telling about what we were seeing. He went above and beyond when one of our family members was being cheated by a local and demanded that money be returned. We felt totally comfortable asking him anything about Egyptian history, people, religions, politics and because of this we learned so much more about Egypt.
We had a great time with our Jordanian guide, Ghadan, also. Since the main reason for visiting Jordan was to see Petra, having a tour guide from the Petra area was a real bonus, since he was so knowledgeable about local customs. And like our other guide we could ask him anything, and because of this we learned so much about Jordanian culture. We have so many interests when we travel and Ghadan made sure we saw it all. We felt like Ghadan was having as great a time showing us his country as we were being there.
We would also like to mention our driver, Issa, who was with us through all of Jordan also. It isn't to often that we get an English speaking driver, so it was a real bonus being able to learn about Jordan from him too.
Thank you for a great tour. ”
