Testimonials

Rarely do I say that it was a privilege to be part of a vacation but this was definitely that and more. The S.S. Karim is a national treasure, a floating museum and the last steam powered paddle wheel on the Nile. Sailing down the Nile in the company of an accomplished local egyptologist who enthusiastically took us through each archeological site that we stopped at was amazing. Our travel guide Jewel had everything in place and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Cultured Travel.

This was the best travel experience of our lives.The group so compatible, great energy, wonderful companionship. The itinerary was matched by our guide Sami who was as articulate as he was knowledgeable. The Kerem was a jewel and the cuisine unmatched and bountiful. Anyone who would have the opportunity to travel with Cultured Travel would be so happy. Egypt is a not miss destination. We cannot thank Jewel enough for the best travel can offer.

Jewel is AMAZING!! This Trip was so special, engaging, custom, unique, and fun. I learned SO much about Egypt and felt like I really got to see the best sites in the country. The SS Karim is a stunning antique boat and the staff there are next level. The food on the boat was also insanely gourmet and the chef incredibly charismatic. She takes so much care in her guests and the experience. If you are at all considering traveling to Egypt, this is the way to go.

Amazing fun filled trip with fabulous accommodations. We even learned about New Orleans along the way. There was so much to see and do. Highlights were the Laura Plantation visit and the Joan d’ Arc parade. Our guide Jewel was always up for adding in additional activities like an after dinner adventure to the music and night art market on Frenchmen’s street, and a ghost tour which was really more of a history tour. We showed up a day early and Jewel took us on a street car tour of the garden district with great stops for lunch, shopping and a roof top bar for my first Hurricane. . Also loved the front row seats at the Preservation Jazz Hall. I’m still singing those songs.
