Egypt Grand Nile Cruise May 6 : Our tour guide was an expert in Egyptian history. He took excellent care of our group. He was outgoing, interesting, and entertaining.
George and Laura W.
Grand Nile Tour MS Carnival Cruise I am so glad to write to you and express my client's complete satifaction with their tour to Egypt. Brookie S. and Dorothy H., could not say enough good things about the tour, the guides, the accommodations and what all was included. It was fate that they met some folks on the less expensive tour, not the platinum package and found out that, even though they paid more upfront, they eneded up spending less money overall. Brookie told me about all of the guides being very attentive and making sure that they got to see all the sights described in the tour, as well as a few extra ones, that they had time for since they were the only two people in the group. I do remember recommending that they pay the extra because I know the additional tours and admisssions can add up in a foreign country.
They had a wonderful experience and loved every minute of it Eva K.
Grand Nile Tour MS Crocodile Cruise Fernan, My trip to Egypt could not have been better! Invited to join my parents shortly before the scheduled departure date, my knowledge was minimal regarding the ancient history of these incredible people . Delighted by numerous monuments, we were absolutely amazed. First, I would like to thank you for arranging, in great detail, every foreseeable aspect of my family's great adventure. Though in a new and strange land, we were made comfortable throughout every excursion. It was a very pleasant surprise to find that our guides were not only comfortable speaking English, but extensively educated in the historical lineage of Egypt. We found it impossible to come up with a question that could not be answered. Grateful to have been provided a warm and generous reception by all, it will be a pleasure to recommend Sunny Land Tours.
Contributing to this joyful expedition, the flights, hotel, seaside resort, carriage ride, boating excursions, temple tours, pyramid visits, delicious meals, and MS Crocodile were nothing short of wonderful. It seems that not one single consideration was neglected. Each and every host was friendly and engaging from the start. ... Anxious from all of the excitement of traveling, my parents and I felt a little worn out. Upon first encounter, "Peter's" genuine concern for our well-being was immediately demonstrated. The ways in which he is able to predict and expedite requests is truly amazing. From finding a pharmacy, to chocolate and Pepsi Light, he is by far a man that can be counted on. Near the end of our visit, my mom needed to pick up a few mementos, but felt too tired to barter for a good deal. By the way, learning the real value of items sold in Egypt was something Peter helped us to understand better. Assisting our tired desires, Peter suggested a very nice shop with low (set) prices. Let me tell you, in Aswan, this type of thing is no small accomplishment. For these reasons, among others, I fervently recommend the excellent services of Peter Ayad S.

Platinum Package to Egypt We have just returned from Sunny Land’s wonderful (Platinum) tour of Egypt. Our guide in Cairo Hanni was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much about his wonderful country with its rich history. We always felt safe and secure. The boat staff was friendly and accommodating. Our guide Karram, on the Nile cruise portion of the tour, also provided a wonderful sense of history. Every detail was taken into consideration and wherever we went we found friendly agents waiting to escort us, arrange rooms and wake-up calls and confirm plane tickets. The people of Egypt were warm and welcoming. Claire & Tony M.

We have just returned from our recent trip to egypt on the ms carnival. We want to thank you for the special arrangements that you made for us regarding food (vegetarian) and touring.
Our guide was excellent, both well informed with a sense of humor. The boat staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our short stay at the pyramid park hotel as well. The tour was very comprehensive.

Affordable Egypt Tour.
Hello Jasmine
When I picked the Laudermilch's up at JFK on Thursday, in spite of them being exhausted from their long flight, they happily reported that their trip was a "10+" out of 10!! They described their trip in detail - making the 3 hour drive back to PA fly by - they had an unbelievable adventure...
thank you so very much for the attention to detail and responses to my questions... I have already broadcast the Sunny Land Tours experience to other agents in my various networks here...
Since I do not have the email of your manager, please forward this and "blow your own horn" for the great job you did for me... Thank you again...for your exceptional customer service.
Regards - Laura P. Travel Planner
Agent FAM trip to Egypt.
Hi Jasmine
Thank you for all your help and information in the planning and preparation of the trip.
Our FAM trip to Egypt was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. I am now an "expert" on Egypt which will help me sell the trip. The Sunnyland staff was reliable, professional, courteous, and always available to answer any questions.
Likewise,our tour guide Abdel, was by far the best we have had on any trip. He was most accommodating and knowledgeable and made our touring and trip so memorable! We learned so much and were awestruck seeing so many antiquities that we had only read about in books.
Each day was planned with care and precision and it would be difficult to say which were our favorite tours, as we loved seeing them all, from the pyramids, the museum, the tombs, temples, city tours etc. Likewise, our cruise down the Nile was wonderful as well. We loved the little extras that Sunnyland provided-the felucca and carriage ride were an added plus that enhanced our trip. It would be remiss not to mention the beautiful hotels we stayed in. I already have 5 couples ready to book the tour and will be presenting my slide show at many organizations and groups over the next few months.
I expect to get many of my groups to visit Egypt.
Regards, Ben S. -
Egypt and Jordan
My wife and I would like to award Sunny Land Tours five gold stars for the excellent service provided to us, on-a·-17-day-trip with-Sunny Land Tours to Egypt and Jordan. We booked the 8 day Grand Circle Tour of Jordan and the Platinum Tour of Egypt from October 17 to November 2. Having never before booked with Sunny Land left us somewhat nervous at the onset, but as soon as we arrived in Amman all doubts disappeared. We were greeted by friendly and courteous agents on all phases of the journey. They took care of all our needs, reconfirmed all flights and even lined up at the check in counters at the hotels and stood in line at the airline counters to get our boarding passes, In Jordan we were part of a small group of 12 people. In Egypt it was just the two of us and we had our own very personal tour guides on all sections of the trip. While enjoying the benefits of a small party we watched numerous operators in busloads of tourists crowding the many attractions. In short, we had a wonderful time. Sunny Land Tours delivered more than promised We recommend your company very highly and will not hesitate to use your services again in the future.
Many thanks and greetings from New Jersey,
Helmut & Ingrid T.
Platinum Package 10 Day Tour, From: Jacquie J. IL To: Norma Jene.
Hi, Norma Jene!
Sue & I had wonderful time in Egypt. It was an unforgettable trip from beginning to end. The itinerary couldn’t have been better. The Sunny Land Tours Egypt staff was superb.
I’ve attached the Sunny Land Tours survey. Thanks for everything.
"...Sunny Land’s touring partner in Egypt is superb. We enjoyed and felt in very good hands with Esslam Ellbotby, who coordinated our hotel arrangements, intra-Egypt flights, and last-night dinner. Our guides, Nadya in Cairo and Karam on the Nile cruise portion of the tour, were both excellent. Both were very knowledgeable, professional, caring, and delightful to be with. We will highly recommend Sunny Land Tours to anyone we talk to.
Thank you especially, Norma Jene, for arranging everything so nicely.
Jacquie J.
Platinum Package 10 Day Tour ,From: Donn W. To: Yelena F..
Yelena, Thought we would let you know about our 40th Anniversary trip to Egypt thanks to SunnyLand. We had a wonderful time. Because we were not part of a large tour group our guides, Esslam, Nadia in Upper Egypt and Bishoy in Lower Egypt, took an extraordinary amount of time to ensure we understood the History and events that led up to each Dynasty. They became our friends in the limited amount of time together. The Pyramid Hotel in Cairo was very comfortable and the restaurants supplied a nice dining selection. We would, however, tell future guests to obtain Egyptian currency before coming to the Hotel. The bank that is within has little to offer in the way of small bills for tipping and purchasing gifts. They also can't break down large USA monies into smaller bills. Our Cruise up the Nile was full of eventful trips. We purchased the Excursion Package that contained 5 tours and at our age it was a little difficult to keep up and comprehend all that was presented to us. The dining was almost exotic in the selection that they presented to us daily. But, everything was amazing. All of the travel in your Platinum Package 10 Day Tour was very nicely taken care of by the guides, air travel, ground transportation and being punctual so we didn't miss anything. Donn & Joy
M. Shoheiber: A Million Thanks for Unforgettable Vacation in Egypt I am back in the United States now after an unforgettable vacation in Egypt. Allow me to thank you and your staff here in the States as well as representatives in Egypt for every second and minute of the fabulous vacation you arranged for my wife and me. Punctuality, personalised care, great organisation, excellent facilities and more gave us great satisfaction. The attention accorded to us as v.i.p. persons - as you promised - made us value every second on the trip. The knowledge of tourist guides accompanying us throughout the trip was fabulous. The boat and the cruise on immortal Nile are memories to be cherished for a long time to come. In short, Egypt and its monuments and antiquities are outstandingly magnificent, and your organisation and care are equal to the greatness of magnificent Egypt. My future vacations will always be through Sunny Land Tours and you personally.
With all the thanks and gratitude of a very satsfied vacationer,
Cecilie G., Minneapolis, MN:
My husband and I went on Sunny Land's tour of Egypt - bought through our travel agent. We
found Egypt very interesting and especially enjoyed the Nile
Cruise and tours of the majestic temples. We liked all of our
guides and found them to be knowledgeable. The treasures
that Egypt has to offer make it a worthwhile experience. We
are happy with what we did and things that we bought. We
liked the two perfume stores and the papyrus shop that guides
took us to. We enjoyed the four-day Nile trip and liked the
boat and the personnel.
Kathy M. My daughter and
I just returned from our Platinum tour of Egypt - I wanted to express my gratitude to everyone at
Sunnyland tours for a wonderful trip and for helping make our
dream come true. We felt safe and protected at all times. Our
guide, Tamer, could not have been more gracious or respectful,
and I truly appreciated his intelligence and expertise. I
observed other guides on other tours, and they could not
compare with the comprehensive skills, personality, and humor
Tamer brought to his job, along with his obvious love for his
country and its amazing history.
I will never forget sitting
in the Nubian House Cafe, high on a hill overlooking Aswan,
watching the sun set over the eastern rim of the great Sahara
Desert . . . or the lone guard in the royal mummy room of the
Egyptian Museum in Cairo, quietly chanting to the ancient
kings . . .
The lapis sky at first-light in
Aswan, with the haunting chants from the minarets mingling
with the music of the awakening birds in the trees . .
Marv &
Lisa K., Sardis, British Colombia, Canada: -: My 23 year old daughter
and I took your October 3 - 13 Platinum Tour of Egypt and it
definitely was the best trip of our lives. Our Egyptian
Adventure lived completely up to every one of our expectations
and then some. I can't stop talking or thinking about it. Our
guide Imam was simply the best and we would go out of our way
next time to ensure that he would again be our guide. Nothing
can compare to standing next to the Pyramids, taking an
hour camel ride, cruising on the Nile River, seeing Abu Simbel........(there's
not enough space to describe everything.)
We
always felt completely safe and unthreatened. Egyptians love
tourists. Plus Sunnyland Tour price tag was much lower than
anything comparable in Canada. Thank you again...
Eva
H., New York, NY:
I wanted to express my gratitude for a wonderful trip to
Egypt. We went on the Oct 3rd Platinum Trip and just got back
last night. I can't tell you how wonderful and great it
was, so much more than what I had expected. Our group
was fantastic, so many different people with different
backgrounds sharing the same great Egyptian experience. Our
guide, Imam, no words can ever describe how great he was. With
knowledge that can fill a history book, no question seemed
unanswered. He has the kindness and patience I only wish I
knew more people with. I look forward to another
trip with him as our guide. For anyone who has ever
wanted to go to Egypt but has been undecided on, I
truly urge you to go. The culture of this beautiful
land, like no other. Everything was just amazing: the
Nile, the life and energy of the people, the pyramids, the
desert land, the lush land, old Cairo, camels, donkeys
and horses....I can't say enough...
Kerri
S., Seattle WA: :
I wanted to write and let you know that I had the most
wonderful trip to Egypt. I did the platinum package trip from
Feb 28th through March 10th of 2002 to celebrate my birthday.
I had the most amazing time. The country is beautiful and so
rich with history. I enjoyed every site I visited and all the
people I met. Our guide, Essam, was knowledgeable, patient
with all our questions, and very welcoming. I cannot wait to
come back for another visit and have already recommended the
trip to my friends. Thanks to your company and guide for
making Egypt an unforgettable vacation.
Melanie
C., Salisbury, MD.: Tour arrangements were
excellent, our guide (Imam) was great. Hotel
accommodations were excellent. Awesome Nile view from
our window was lovely. Features we like most about the
trip were our guide Imam, historic sites, the beauty of the
country, felucca ride and shopping. And what we like
most about Sunny Land are: expertise of the guides, the
quality and the value for the trip's cost, and helpfulness of
our Sunny Land sales representative Joe Nazy.
Donald
& Patricia P. Easthampton, Mass.: Tour
arrangements were excellent, we saw 97% of Egyptian monuments
and even enjoyed an Egyptian wedding. Hotel
accommodations were very good. Cruise was excellent, so
was the cruise staff. Tour guide Elia Takla was great.
The tour was inexpensive and well organized, educational and a
hell of a lot of fun.
Emily
G. Ansonia, CT: I'm writing to impart how very
much I enjoyed my recent (January 10th - January 20th)
trip to Egypt using Sunny Land Tours. It was everything I'd
dreamed it would be and overjoyed that it was so much more!
Egypt's sights, people and historical treasures took my breath
away. I was truly in awe and humbled by all that I encountered
and experienced. I'm definitely having a "Sunny Land"
withdrawal.
Our
tour was so great due to our guide, Elia Takla. He was and
is exceptional! I can't believe the wealth of knowledge
this young man possesses on any topic about his
country. Also, our group wasn't an easy one for him. Elia
was charming and always professional in his dealings
with the group. He cared and watched over each one
of us. Sunny Land Tours and we are very fortunate to
have Elia as a guide.
God-willing, health and finances allowing, I'd love to come
back and visit Egypt again.
Gordan
B. MC., NATO Hq. Brussels, Belgium.: My wife and I
recently completed a Platinum Tour of Egypt (11-20 Jan).
In short, we were extremely pleased with the tour, and Sunny
Land's professional help with all the details of the trip.
I am active duty Air Force, stationed in Brussels, Belgium.
Mirtha Subia was our contact at Sunny Land, and she did a
suberb job. I would like to also compliment our tour
guide in Egypt, Mr. Elia Takla. Elia did a 100%
professional job leading our 22-person group in Egypt.
He kept the tour on schedule, adapted readily to changes in
the itinerary, had a wonderful knowledge of the sights,
maintained a great sense of humor, and truly made the success
it was.
Mindy
D. Litchfield, MN.: My
husband and I just returned from the January 5-12 Egypt
Platinum, and I wanted to give you feedback while I am still
basking in the glow... From the moment we connected with
our tourguide Tamer, everything went absolutely perfect!
Our small group of 15 were extremely compatible. Tamer
was organized, funny, intelligent, extremely knowledgable.
The food was great, transportation was excellent, and I'd say
this trip was THE BEST VALUE for the money I've every
encountered.
Ann
S. Unionville, NY:
You made the dream of a "trip of a lifetime" into the
reality of " the trip of a lifetime."
After the world altering events of September 11, my
husband and I were not sure whether or not we should continue
with our plans to visit Egypt, from November 22 through
December 2.
We
were nervous about taking our daughters, 12 and 19 years old,
out of the country wh ile things were so
unsettled (right after September 11).
Our interactions with Sunny Land Tours, and reading the
statements from other people who used the company's service
and planned trips since 9/11, helped us decide to stick with
our plans and go.
It
was not a mistake! We
had the most wonderful trip to Egypt.
It was above and beyond anything we had ever imagined.
The service throughout the entire trip was wonderful,
the hotels some of the best we?ve stayed at, the
accommodations great, and the food was delicious.
The entire trip went so smoothly and without a problem
due to all the seamless transfers, ground transportation, and
the planning Sunny Land made.
I
want you to know that at no time during the trip were we ever
uncomfortable either physically or emotionally.
Between our wonderful guide, your company's
arrangements, and the Egyptian people themselves, we felt
completely comfortable and safe at all times.
The
value of what you get for what you pay just can?t be
compared. Thank
you?
Nate
& Jill R.: My wife and I just
returned from a Platinum package
tour of Egypt that left November 1 and returned November
11. I wanted to say we had a fantastic time. Our guides
(Essam, Elia) were great, the accomodations were great,
the sights were beyond words. We found Egypt to be very
safe, the people very friendly (even the vendors were nice
in their special way), and the tour was most enjoyable.
I wish I could tell everyone how now is the time to go.
With so few people travelling the sights are not filled
to the gills with other tourists. Thanks again for having
such a great package at such a great price.
S.R & Deanna
H - Naples, FL: We just returned from your Egypt
Platinum Tour with Paris extension (October 25-November
6). We had an excellent trip... The transfer services
performed by the tour people were very good. All drivers
were very good throughout the tour... The hotel and cruise
accommodations were very good and better than anticipated.
Our cabin on the boat was quite roomy, and the food and
service were very good indeed... Our guide Essam was outstanding.
We were very pleased with Sunny Land and our contact
there, Sandra
Ramos, who was responsive to our questions and concerns and
returned our phone calls immediately. We would certainly
consider Sunny Land again....
Patti & Joe
M - Houston TX: We would like to state that this
was one of the best ever trips we have taken. Our trip was
delayed one week due to the attack and closure of U.S. air
space. We went September 20 to September 30. Our extremely
knowledgeable guide Essam, with a degree in Egyptology,
did everything for us, far above and beyond what was expected,
to make our trip most memorable. The hotel suites, Nile
cruise, outstanding food and friendly people all made us
welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend a trip
to Egypt for everyone.
Mr. W.B and
Mrs. P.B from Nashville, IN: My wife and I enjoyed
the package vacation, and your company is to be commended
for the well organized tour package. The quality of the
package met and exceeded our expectations, and we will be
looking forward to the possibility of vacationing with Sunny
Land again in the future.
Jane O. and
Kathleen P from El Cajon, CA: We would like to take
a few moments to thank you for the opportunity to visit
Egypt this past January. We learned so much during our step
back into time; it was overwhelming! Our
cruise-ship was very comfortable and clean. Our tour
escort was very pleasurable to be with and full of information.
Karen H.
from Columbia, MD: I would just like to reiterate
how much we enjoyed our trip to Egypt two weeks ago! Everything
that had been planned went exactly as it was supposed to,
starting from a friendly greeting after a flight to Cairo.
The 4-day cruise was outstanding... not to mention the spacious
cabins and great food. We were very impressed with your
services throughout Egypt. I would highly recommend your
tours and and services to anyone...
Valerie J.
- Jersey City, NJ: Cruise was enjoyable with fun
evening activities... Great, reliable, and accommodating
crew. The Egyptian guide was professional and he insured
that we enjoyed our trip throughout. Hotel
accommodations were better than I expected. Tour arrangements
were excellent.
Mary B. -
Rancho Murieta, CA: Had a great trip to Egypt. Everything
went smoothly including our Paris stays. The Nile cruise
boat was lovely as was our Cairo hotel. Our guide, Osama,
did a good job. We were well taken care of. We left Jan
11 and returned Jan. 21. Thanks to you, Joe for keeping
in touch at all times as we made our plans. Thanks , too,
to Sunny Land Tours: They did everything they promised and more.
Alice J.G.
- Freehold, NJ: The tour was well-planned and executed.
Given the logistical planning that goes into putting together
the transportation and various admissions to Egypt's ancient
sites, I don't know how one could plan such a trip on one's
own. Moreover having a wonderfully knowledgeable guide with
a Master's Degree in Egyptology made touring the sites all
the more meaningful. I would definitely recommend this package
and Sunny Land Tours.
