If you go with Ashley you won’t be disappointed It’s been two years now since I went with Ashley to Egypt. It is definitely a trip to make at least once in a lifetime and should be on anyone’s bucket list. Ashley made everything run smoothly and made sure that everyone had a good time. She’d done her research well in advance and had planned everything in such a way as to give everyone a sense of security but also of liberty. Ashley made sure everyone felt included and that they had a choice depending on the budget and level of adventure that they sought. If someone just wanted to tag along that was an option too. She made time for special requests from the group as well and adapted the pace and plans to everyone. To me a definite highlight was the Aswan botanical garden because I’m a nerd for nature. So I do recommend that you put Egypt on your bucket list but most importantly make sure Ashley is with you.

Loved my Egypt experience with Ashley. To be honest, I wouldn’t have gone on my own. Too many ways a trip like that could go wrong… but Ashley had it all figured out. Captivating experiences from start to finish… you see the big sights, but also gems I might have missed otherwise. Like crossing the Nile in a traditional sailboat, Queen Nefertari’s tomb, or a hotel with the pyramids in the literal backyard. There’s time to shop (I have a great cow skin rug, a lovely linen scarf…) and time to explore… the Bible tour of the Cairo museum was a highlight, but honestly the trip had so many good moments. Thank you Ashley 20:27

My husband and I had an unforgettable experience on our Egypt tour. From riding camels in the shadows of the pyramids to exploring tombs, Ashley crafted an itinerary that perfectly captured all the highlights we wanted to see while maintaining a pace that was both relaxed and engaging. The group size was ideal-large enough to provide variety yet small enough to ensure flexibility and minimize waiting times. We wholeheartedly give Ashley five pyramids for her flawless organization of travel arrangements, accommodations, guides, and excursions! -Mary and George Edited 14:42
