We booked this trip following our excellent experience with Wendy Wu trip to China, but part of this Egypt Jordan tour was not up to Wendy Wu standards we expected. We selected this tour as it included both Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt and Jordan experience was like Tale of Two Cities, Jordan part of the tour was excellent with top of class service, restaurants and a superb Guide/Manager and I highly recommend it.
But the Egypt part of the trip was although well organised but lacked Wendy Wu Hallmarks. The main reasons were:
Restaurants selected for lunches and evening meals were mediocre with monotonous menus.
Tour guide/ Egyptologist was very knowledgeable but should have used microphone and audio headphones when we visited various sites and monuments. I am used to listening on headphones and at the same time enjoying the site, monuments etc. rather than concentrating to the guide in close vicinity.
The Egyptian aspect of the tour felt like it was operated by Wings Tour company and not Wendy Wu and I would prefer any other better quality tour operator for the price we paid.
I have given 4 stars only because of Jordan aspect of the tour.

Many thanks to the company and especially the guides for a wonderful holiday. Given our personal circumstances a special thank you to Omar and Memo in Egypt for their support throughout.

The adventure certainly ticked the boxes of places to visit and the knowledge of the guides in both Egypt and Jordan added significantly to the experience.

Inter-site transport / transfer was well executed which enabled the disparate sites to be accessed smoothly. The cruise environment was very good and the Philae excursion (and meal particularly) was superb.

Jordan was an equally well supported and executed tour. As an extension (in my opinion) Wendy Wu should give thought to offering (even as an optional extra) a flight on the tethered Petra balloon to view the city and environment from altitude - we would certainly have jumped at that opportunity.

Thanks again

As Above

The Egypt tour was wonderful. Omar & Mimo were excellent guides and looked after us very well. The Sheraton hotel in Cairo was brilliant and so were the rest of our accommodation, including the cruise ship down the Nile River.
The itinerary was full and I’m glad we were able to get a rest on the ship for an afternoon. I luv the way Wendy Wu organise lots of visits however, a couple of relaxing afternoons or evenings would be great. Overall, I think the tour was well planned, all meals were delicious and I’d definitely recommend Wendy Wu to family and friends. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime.

very well organised

A well organised and planned tour of the key sites in Egypt. Wendy Wu local and National Guides were excellent. Ahmed our local guide ensured everything ran smoothly for us from the moment we landed at Cairo airport. Our hotels, meals and luggage were organised seemlessly and all with a friendly and welcoming smile brilliant.
Faisal Islam, our National Guide ,was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited and fitted them into wider historical context for us.Tours and visits were organised to spare us the hottest of the day wherever possible. He also organised everything smoothly for us during our Nile Cruise. He was helpful and made us all feel safe and confident from the moment we met him. He broke up the long journeys to and from Abu Simbel with information and humour.A quality Egyptologist and tour guide.
We were disappointed that the G.E.M. was closed for its opening ceremony when we visited but Faisal made the artifacts remaining in Tahrir Square fascinating for us.
Thank you Wendy Wu for a wonderful informing and relaxing (at times )tour to remember.

I have run out of superlatives. The trip was outstanding from beginning to end: great organisation on the part of the tour manager; spectacular sights, and an extremely knowledgeable Egyptologist who made sense of the ancient texts and hieroglyphs for us. All involved were very warm and friendly, including the crew on the Nile cruise, which was just perfect. An unforgettable experience.

Very enjoyable trip, very detailed and the tour guides were excellent.

Travelled through China with Wendy Wu now going to visit Egypt. Have recommended Wendy Wu to lots of friends because of their excellent service.

Phone answered promptly and info on Holiday explained. The rep even mentioned a price reduction and savings which was a very pleasant surprise. Managed to book over the phone and deposit paid. All in all a good experience

Very well organised tour, from being picked up at Cairo Airport to our departure from it (tour guide Isaac even came to the hotel at Cairo Airport at 4 am to take us to the terminal for the journey home). We felt entirely safe throughout the whole tour, not knowing what to expect, and the memories don't just include the amazing antiquities of Egypt but also seeing real life in Egypt as we ventured to Pyramids, Temples and Museums.

The air conditioned tour bus was always there for us, taking us to and from some amazing sights (and sites) which we will never forget. The hotels were very nice, but special praise for the cruise up the Nile. We didn't want to get off the boat and the staff were so nice - as was the food!

The tour guide throughout, Islam the Egyptologist, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, good sense of humour, patient and always prepared to answer our questions. "Mashi Mashi".

Just don't know how it took us so long (years not travel time) to get to this amazing place. As with our excellent trip to China last year, Wendy Wu really deliver! We will be looking at their South East Asia offerings for next year.

Helpful and efficient

It was fascinating visiting Giza pyramids, all the temples and necropolis, specially Luxor and Abu Symbel. Both Muhammad Abdel-Hamid and Toqa Mohymen were very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They looked after us so well, there was nothing they wouldn't do to help us.

However, in my opinion, the tour felt a little rushed and it would have been interesting to go to a place were they make the papyrus. Also, maybe we could have had some time to do some sightseeing in Cairo and Aswan and have a tour of an important bazar.

All in all, it was a very enlightening tour, visiting some fascinating, beautifull relief and hieroglyphic-covered temples. An unforgettable experience!

Brilliant as always. Been on their trips several times and everyone I’ve dealt with has been amazing.

Excellent tour showing us everything we’d ever dreamed of seeing.
Excellent guides and some fantastic hotels and places to eat
