What people love about Luxury Tours in Africa

Our guide was fantastic. Everything ran on schedule. Meals and accommodations exceeded expectations. Only issue was tour radar inflexibility in meeting us for the start of the tour. Resulted in much stress for our host and difficulty in accessing her property
- Legends of Egypt
The trip was well planned, with excellent service provided by planet tours every step along the way. The guides, drivers, and coordinators were knowledgeable, welcoming, friendly, punctual and patient. I never had to worry about anything. The accommodations were great and Egypt is an incredible country to visit.
- Magic of Egypt with the GEM museum tour. (free All inclusive upgrade hurghada resort)
Amazing experiences guides were knowledgeable and provided loads of information while answering questions. Lots of free time to wander after the tour and very timely on pick ups from all locations.
