This was our 20th cruise and the most rewarding. Egypts history, archeological sites and hospitality is unmatched worldwide. We were concerned about security but our 34 person tour group was from arrival to departure treated like royalty. Our four hotels were included and all historic and five star. Our Nile river cruise was also five star and the nicest ship we saw. A pricey trip but with eveything included considering all that we experienced and saw with our expert egyptologist we feel was worth every penny and more. Also our tour guide was with us from day one and provided all of us with the necessary local knowledge and answered all our questions with professionalism. The food was as expected with five star service. We were very pleased with this trip and can,t wait to travel with Scenic cruises again. You get what you pay for so choose the best and you won't be dissapointed.
