S's 8 days trip to Egypt

I am extremely happy with the services provided by Travel Triangle. This is my second outing with Travel Triangle. Everything has been seamlessly managed and taken care of. One issue I would like to highlight is for Nile cruise the options based on price range should have been given. Hopefully its looked into.

Vamsidhar's 6 days trip to Egypt

Trip was well organized with no difficulties, 100% satisfied. Cruise was extremely good and food was awesome, cruise crew team behavior is so well. Al places are worth watching The guides were poor not explained well, They were in hurry to finish their jobs, Only edifi temple guide is good, Rest all guides are poor rating, Hiring professional guides will add advantage to the trip. Abu simbel car driver and guide is so good with patience. Guides were stopping in the locations which is not included in the iternary and wasted the time, inorder to buy some arts and crafts products which is of no use, and wasted the time. Overall trip was organized well with no tensions, Egypt trip is worth watching places like Aswan, Luxor, Cairo & Hurgadha is optionalon your choice, We missed alexandria as it is not added in the iternary.

Sauradip's 7 days trip to Egypt

The highlight of the trip was our wonderful guide Mr. Ahmed, who is an egyptiologist and went beyond his call of duty to help us. The hotels were okayish and the experience with the travel agent was above average.

Dhannya's 5 days trip to Egypt

We had a fantastic time in Egypt. Mr. Amaan Siddiqui expertly planned our Egypt trip, while Ms. Shima's Cairo tour and Mr. Mohmud's Alexandria tour brought history to life. Mr. Tahir's outstanding driving services ensured our comfort throughout. Their professionalism, knowledge, and flexibility made our trip truly unforgettable! The Nile cruise dinner was the best memory of all.

S's 7 days trip to Egypt

Entire trip was going well until cruise came in picture…3rd class cruise was booked, they were huge discrimination with INDIAN TOURISTS in cruise but agency didn’t take any action. We missed 3-4 monuments just because of cruise. Looking like it was total waste of time and money. Best memories spoiled by cruise, we don't have memories .

Parvaiz's 6 days trip to Egypt

It was Amazing trip arranged b travel Triangle. I had opted for the premieum package from Flying Fleet Adventures where I connected with Mr Amaan.I later found out that he is a Egypt Specialist and has helped many travellers experience Egypt in the best way possible. Talking about the trip.Egypt is not an easy destination it is nearly impossible to do it alone without any guide otr help as there is a language problem and the people heckle you a lot trying to sell anything and everything at 4 times the cost . Amaan had arranged everything so well. Guides: Each guide in Cairo/Hurgada/Luxar/Aswan/Abu Simbl was very fluent with english and had in depth historical knowledge of the places we were visiting .Also the bonus was they were amazing photographers as well and knew the exact spots for good photos .Thanks to them we got many exiting and memorable photos. Food: Food was totally taken care of ,we loved the Arabian cuisine but there was Indian option available as well. Transportation : The vehicles provided were top notch and were well maintained.The drivers were very friendly and helpfull and totally on time . Stay: The best of the Hotels(Rameses Hilton/Hilton Hurgada/Steigenberger etc ) the hotels were amazing with very good properties and everytjing was prearranged and we had very smooth checkin and checkout. All the internal tickets to all monuments and the tips etc was pre arranged and we just breezed through each place saving a lot of time and unnecessary haggle. There was no hidden or extra charges in any activities and that felt nice . Amaan/Ali were connected throughout in case of any doubts . Overall it was one of the best trips we had and it has built within us strong faith on Travel Triangle. Thanks Guys ! Hoping to make more memories together in near future as we travel more.
