What people love about Egypt Tours for Seniors
- Wonders of Ancient Egypt
From beginning to end and the 12 days in between Trafalgar had every detail of the very busy touring schedule carefully planned. Instructions were repeated numerous times so there was no doubt when to meet for guided tour. Free time was given at each tour site after being guided, with instructions when to re group. touring was thorough main historic sights were included with trip package. There were numerous optional experiences averaging about $100 US each. Arriving at hotel late and very tired we DID NOT have to stand in line to get checked in, we were pre checked in. On arrival handed our keys and directly to room. End of trip transfer to airport was organized and stress free.
- Best of Egypt (Summer)
A truly amazing, once in a life time, experience. The itinerary included all the major archeological sites in Egypt, covering history going back to the first pyramid built more than 4700 years ago. Our tour guide kept us busy, and was extremely knowledgeable and patient with our group. We had “free time” at all of the major sites we visited. We always felt very safe our entire time in Egypt. My advice to others considering this trip is that there is not so much walking, but sometimes a lot of uneven steps. Some of the less mobile people accompanying us opted to view some sites from the bus. The other thing to keep in mind is the ship for the Nile river cruise was pretty old and could have been a little cleaner. We heard mixed reviews from others on some of the optional experiences. We traveled to Abu Simbel and greatly enjoyed it. In summary, an amazing vacation!

Egypt tours that focus on senior travelers typically draw participants between 55-75 years old.
