Classic Holidays レビュー 

What an incredible experience from the start to the finish.
The tour was exceptionally well organised, giving support at airport arrivals and departures, a wide range of included trips to historical sites and craft workshops.
The additional tours were well organised and with knowledgeable guides, offering a variety of experiences across a number of sites.
Marco, the tour manager/ guide shared his expert knowledge of Egyptology and love of his country with passion and enthusiasm; and expertly steered the group throughout the tour.
The MS Royal Princess was a delight, the food excellent and crew polite and helpful, what was not to love?!
Overall an excellent experience! Thank you.

Seamless logistics from airport to hotel or cruise ship, excellent guides (Marco especially), great excursions, fabulous ship, wonderful food, lovely staff. Faultless from beginning to end.

In country representatives were fantastic ensuring that we were fully aware of time and locations and all transfers ran like clockwork. The local guide was extremely knowledge and in addition looked after us very, very well. A truly 5 star experience

This was a fabulous holiday we visited all the important sites our favourite was the great pyramids of Giza. The Nile cruise was also amazing we visited all the important sites and we did the optional trip to Abu Simbel which was well worth the extra. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We did enjoy meal times as we got to spend them with the same people , which we met some very nice people.

Amazing. What an experience. First class from start to finish. Will definitely do it again and hopefully soon. Paul

Everything about this holiday was brilliant. We loved the boat - the food was excellent with plenty of choices - we had a brilliant guide, and all the tours were well organised and very interesting.

We were lucky to have a really nice group of people on this holiday with us, so all in all, we couldn't complain about a thing!

Really enjoyed the holiday. Great visits, accomodation and service in hotel and on boat was good. Didn’t give 5 stars because the food wasn’t brilliant.

Excellent service from start to finish. Our guide Aymen was brilliant. Extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very organised. The transfers between hurghada and Luxor were great. The food on the boat was excellent and the staff attentive and polite/friendly. Would definitely recommend your company to anyone that asked.
Fabulous

A wonderful trip. Everything went smoothly. Hotel and Nile cruise all excellent. Superb guide. Good food and comfortable accommodation. Superb things to see.

First time on a cruise and first time in Egypt. We had a fantastic time! I booked this holiday to celebrate a significant birthday for my wife, she had always wanted to see Egypt. I'll be honest I only looked at classic holidays as they had dates available for the time we wanted to be away.

From booking the holiday, to receiving the documentation, being met at Cairo airport, transfers and our Nile cruise, everything went smoothly. We opted to book our own excursions in Cairo rather than book through Classic (Mainly because Classic prices were about twice the price of booking independently) we are seasoned travellers and are used to doing this. For those less confident booking through Classic is an easy option. Our Hotel in Giza (Steigenberger Pyramids) was lovely. Clean, great food with plenty of choice and very friendly staff. Worth pointing out that this hotel is directly opposite the new Grand Egyptian hotel and with a view of the pyramids too.

From Cairo we flew to Luxor and joined the MS Royal Princess for our 7 night cruise. The boat is lovely with a real feel of Agatha Christie, It's a little bit tired but in our opinion this added to its charm. Again the staff are really friendly, sooooo much lovely food. Unless you are a really heavy drinker don't go for the all inclusive drinks package. Between the two of us we spent less than £170 ( all inclusive would have been £220 each! ).

For the first 4 nights there was only the classic group on board- 16 of us with the run of the whole ship. Our local guide Ayman Riad was absolutely amazing, he kept all of us enthralled throughout all of our excursions. Very knowledgable but with a lot of humour and with access to areas we wouldn't have otherwise seen.

We paid onboard for a couple of extra trips, Abu Simple , A very long trip, 4 hours each way but absolutely worth it and Afternoon Tea at The Old Cataract Hotel Aswan, again not to be missed especially as Ayman got us access to the Agatha Christie Suite where she wrote Death on The Nile.

All in all an amazing holiday, we can't thank Classic Holidays, and their representatives in Egypt, enough for an experience we will be talking about for years

From start to finish the co-ordination between Airports, Boats, Hotels and various itineries went like clockwork. Truly impressive as was our guide Aymen a man of great erudition , charm and good humour. If it were possible I'd give the whole experience 12 out of 10

Got a reminder to pay my final balance .
Apparently its due “soon”
Turns out it isnt
Its not due for the best part of two weeks
What an utterly scummy outfit these people are.
All driven by a scummy person at the top no doubt

We recently booked the 3-day Cairo and 7-day Nile Cruise package with Classic Holidays, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. From the moment we landed, everything, e.g. the airport pickups, hotel transfers, etc. was seamlessly arranged.

For our accommodation in Cairo, we were offered several 5-star hotels and opted for one near the city center. The agency recommended Sheraton, and it was a fantastic choice, with all major tourist attractions less than 30 minutes away. The hotel facilities were exceptional, especially the gym. Food options were abundant both at and outside the hotel. We appreciated being able to order food from delivery apps. On one occasion, when our delivery was delayed, the hotel staff went above and beyond to contact the restaurant for us.

The Royal Princess cruise gave us a wonderfully relaxing experience. One evening featured a special Egyptian dinner that we thoroughly enjoyed. The excursions included in the package provided incredible values, thanks to our tour guide Ahmed. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and he provided helpful tips to avoid tourist traps and scams which we greatly appreciated. We also opted for an add-on excursion—high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel and it was absolutely worth it.

The only minor drawback was our experience during the add-on Giza Pyramid excursion as we felt the guide (not Ahmed) lacked a bit transparency. For example, we were told that the camel ride would have to be paid through him, and we were taken to a Papyrus shop that he claimed to be a "government institution" but turned out to involve aggressive selling tactics. At first, we thought this might be a common practice, but after spending time with Ahmed during the cruise portion, we realized the difference. That said, this issue was unrelated to Classic Holiday and was handled by a separate local agent.

Overall, we highly recommend Classic Holidays' services to anyone looking for a hassle-free trip to Egypt!

A fantastic 2 weeks in Egypt, organised by Classic Holidays, split between a weekend in Cairo (pyramids and museums), a week's cruise on the Nile and a few days relaxing on the Red Sea.
The cruise ship on the Nile was clean, well fitted out and the food was good (if not always that hot), provided by a cheerful and helpful crew. The cabin was more than big enough for me & was always spotlessly cleaned. The excursions to the many sights along the Nile were very efficiently organised and maximised the time at each location, whilst avoiding the crowds later in the day. (Be prepared for some early starts!). The highlight of the holiday however, was our tour guide/ Egyptologist Hany, whose arrangement skills, depth of knowledge about all the excursions and ability to communicate it in an interesting way throughout the trip, made the whole experience particularly memorable. A holiday I will never forget!

Everything went smoothly we did not have to do any organising at all a perfect holiday

All in all it was an interesting holiday.
Staff in Swiss Hotel Hurghada provided an excellent service.
Staff on Cruise Ship Royal Princess, excellent.
Our Tour guide, Hany, on Cruise provided an excellent detailed itinerary.
There was the usual issues of dealing with locals trying to sell their goods.
Also, one has to accept that places of interest are very busy+++.
Highlight was Abu Simbel;
The Tombs were dismantled and rebuilt away from risk of being lost after High Russian Dam was built.

Would we return ??, probably no.
Would I recommend, yes.
We have been to Cairo and Giza.
Bucket list for Egypt completed.
Taj Mahal etc next on list.

Boat,was lovely. Something like out of an Agatha Christie film. Was lovely waking up and seeing the world meander by.
The trips to see the temples were amazing. Our guide Ade was very knowledgeable. He made sure we were all looked after on and off the boat.

We have recently returned from a ten day break starting with a 7 day Nile cruise onboard the royal princess, which was a fabulous way to see and learn about the culture and the history of Egypt .We could not fault the crew on the boat and during the whole trip we were accompanied by our guide Sameh who was extremely knowledgeable about Egypt and its history and culture. Each trip was so well organised and our guide Sameh was abundant in Egyptian knowledge he kept it light but informative and gave us a good insight .A good guide is a must on a busy trip like this , it could be so easy to miss things .For the last 3 days we stayed at the Old Palce resort in Hurghada which was a lovely rest up after a busy sightseeing schedule .

A truly wonderful experience. The magic and amazing sights of Egypt were brought to life by our fantastic guide Adel. Not only that, from the moment we were met in Luxor by one of your representatives we were looked after so well and then when we got on the boat we were delighted we had booked the Royal Princess. Beautiful traditional styling, extremely helpful and smiling staff and excellent food.

Classic holidays service both before the holiday and at the 3 resorts was exemplary. We felt looked after from touchdown when we were met even before passport control. The accomodation was great the guides were knowledgeable and we had a fantastic 2 weeks.
