The guides and driver on this tour were fantastic. They handled everything smoothly and made us feel well cared for. Our guide was always ready with insights and stories, while the driver kept us comfortable and safe on the road. My favorite part of the trip was the cruise portion, where we could unwind and take in the beautiful scenery at a relaxed pace. It’s an experience I’d happily recommend.
The wide-ranging itinerary on this tour was exactly what we were hoping for, covering so many unique places without feeling rushed. The cruise portion added a relaxing touch, letting us enjoy the journey as much as the destinations. The hotels were comfortable, giving us a nice place to unwind each night, and the meals offered a great introduction to local flavors. Our guide made each stop engaging with just the right amount of information, making the whole trip feel well-balanced. I’d recommend Eskapas to anyone looking for a thoughtfully organized travel experience.
This tour offered a deeper look into local life and culture, which made every day feel genuinely enriching. One of the best parts was the chance to interact with local artisans and witness their craft firsthand, it added a whole new layer to the experience. The guide’s attention to our questions and his ability to explain things clearly showed his dedication. The care put into every aspect, from sightseeing to safety, made the whole journey unforgettable.
Athens, Istanbul, and Cairo are three incredibly distinct cities, each offering something unique. This diversity made the tour all the more rewarding. I was particularly captivated by the Pyramids and the Hagia Sophia, both breathtaking in their own ways. The hotels throughout the tour were comfortable and provided a pleasant stay. Our guides were excellent, especially Stelio, who joined us in Athens and brought so much depth to the experience. Special thanks as well to our driver, Dimitri, for his support. My thanks to Eskapas for organizing such a balanced and enjoyable tour.
I wasn’t sure what to expect combining Greece, Turkey and Egypt in one tour, but it ended up being the perfect blend. I was especially impressed with our guides, who were clearly well-versed in the history and made each stop fascinating without it feeling like a history class. The transportation and accommodations were well-organized and having someone available at all times made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
