Itaca Holiday commented on this reviewThank You so muchTrip date: April 2025 - Varsha· April 26th, 2025Jordan tour company Axis guide met us inside the airport. He introduced us and said he will guide us through the process, so we're asked to get currency exchanged to first take care of his tip and for others. We had enough cash to tip him in US dollars. If this is his training we did not want his guidance. He asked us to give him our passports as we need evisa. Apparently, he should have been aware that we are visiting for a few days and don't need evisa. Finally, imegration guy confirmed it and we moved on. I was so glad when he left us with our driver. I didn't want to see this guide again. Unfortunately, on our flight out of Jordan, Axis sent the same guide with a kind gift gesture. I told the guide to leave us before we got in line for the check in counter. When going thru security the gift bag had some face mask. Because this is in fluid form, no liquids are allowed and had to be trashed. Hopefully, Axis takes all the above comments to heart so future customers can have a better experience.Show moreTrip date: April 2025

- alex· March 9th, 2025Itaca Tours arranged our local tour guides, hotels, and transportation for our visit to Egypt. The people were friendly, but they didn’t provide much detail on what we would be doing. We were hoping for a schedule outlining what to expect throughout the trip, but instead, we had to play it by ear on a day-by-day basis with each new guide. Also, be aware that you’ll need to pay for entry at each site you visit, as the tour does not cover these fees. This added approximately $220 USD per person by the end of our trip. We had about five different guides on our tour. While most of them were good, we’d especially like to praise Emad in Aswan—by far the best tour guide we had in Egypt. He was enthusiastic, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about Egypt and its history. He was also the only guide who didn’t try to take us to a tourist trap and even helped keep street peddlers away. The other tour guides were okay. They were all nice, and having a guide around helped deter some scammers. However, one guide allowed us to be hassled by street vendors and even tried to get us to overpay for items. The guides would typically spend about 15 to 30 minutes quickly walking us through monuments or museums, then leave us to explore on our own for another 30 minutes. It felt like we were getting half a tour because other groups had guides with them the entire time. At least once a day, the guides would also take us to stores under the guise of visiting a local specialty shop or museum, only to sell us the same items found in bazaars—just with an “authentic” label attached. Every guide did this, and it became annoying after the third time. Overall, my experience in Egypt was okay. The guides were hit or miss, and the accommodations from city to city were average. The eateries included in the tour ranged from okay to barely edible—I recommend seeking out restaurants with better reviews. If I were to visit Egypt again, I would book my own accommodations and find independent guides through the hotel. The Jordan leg of our journey was contracted to AXIS Destination Management, and the experience was great. I would gladly use them again if I return to Jordan.Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- Sabine· January 7th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe trip was relatively well organized, the tour guides very friendly and competent. The organization is not responsible for the mass tourism and the sometimes very bad air in Egypt. We would have preferred to upgrade the hotels in Egypt to 5 stars. The crossing to Jordan was unfortunately catastrophic. We left the ship in Luxor at 8 a.m., then a program in Luxor, a hotel room in the afternoon that did not deserve the name, flight at 0.20 a.m. (planned 10 p.m.) to Cairo and 6 a.m. to Amman. Then a program to Wadi Rum. In the end, we had no sleep for 40 hours. Jordan impressed us with its beauty and cleanliness. The complete contrast to Egypt. All in all, we experienced a lot in 10 days, met nice people and enjoyed a lot of culture, albeit at a proud total travel price.Show moreItaca Holiday commented on this reviewThank you so much for your kind words!

- LSLauren· October 4th, 2023Not having any friends or family who went did an Egypt or Jordan trip and traveling as a solo female, I feel like this tour was definitely the best option! The team was so helpful and accommodating, helping to managing through my delayed flight and get be sorted so my trip started off on the right foot! All the guides and drivers were absolutely amazing! So kind and so knowledgeable. Mohamed, Peter and Dana were truly amazing and made my entire experience, thank you thank you! Knowing how much the hotels were individually and some of the prices I was seeing else where, I do feel like I paid more than I what I got, but justified in that I paid for the convenience and private tour aspect. There are a few moments where I felt rushed, but I’m sure if I communicated/knew what I wanted to do every one would have been understanding and supportive, so I would say that was on me to do a bit more research beforehand. Overall, an incredible and phenomenal experience that and I am so grateful for. Anyone I know who’s interested I would definitely recommend a few things to; changes, things to be aware etc, but overall very pleased and grateful for this amazing, wonderful experience.Show moreTrip date: September 2023

Asked on November 18th, 2025I want to do both sleeper train options. Can you tell me when people normally board the train and the duration for the two trips? Also, I am interested in a few add-ons: Nubian village, Dead Sea, and Abu Simbel Temple visit, but I am hesitant to book them now. What is planned on those days that I would miss? Can I book now and add the optional excursions later?

Asked on February 12th, 2025I have not booked yet but I have some questions about logistics. 1. I am travelling alone but definitely want to travel with other people. I do not want to do a tour all by myself. Would a trip get cancelled if its just one person? 2 Are there any limitations on arrival times in Cairo and departure times in Amman? 3 Train sleeper versus flights and hotel. Since I am a single and I got the sleeper, would I still get my own room on the train? Do most people opt for the train or the flights? I would go with the group on this. Can the flights be purchased during the tour? 4. Have there been any bookings around that time? 28AUG or 29AUG. 5. I know it is very hot in late August but would iy be less crowded then? 6. If I were to put money on a specific date, could the date be changed before the final payment is due?
- Itaca HolidayOperator•Written February 2025
Your tour will be conducted with a group, offering a wonderful opportunity to socialize and connect with fellow travelers. There are no restrictions on arrival and departure times. While some travelers opt for flights, others prefer the experience of a sleeper train. Although the sleeper train does not offer private rooms, we can arrange a private accommodation for you at no additional charge. We recommend starting your tour on the 28th. Rest assured, you will have the opportunity to join the group without any concerns. While temperatures may be high, you will find that the atmosphere is less crowded, allowing for a more enjoyable experience. You may change your travel date up to 40 days prior to the start of the tour.

Allan
Traveler•Written February 20251. Is there a chance I would be bumped to a different day either before or after the original date? I am a healthcare practitioner and schedule patients 3-6 months in advance so a change would disrupt my schedule plus force an airline change as well. 2. Can I add the extras at the final payment date or even later? 3. Before the final date of payment Is the deposit refundable or transferable to another Itaca holiday or tourradar holiday at a later date in case of sickness or political issues? 4. I noticed 3% off. Does that end tomorrow?
- Itaca HolidayOperator•Written February 2025
