Great Experience

09-Dec-2019

This tour covered many wonderful sites and venues in a relatively short time. The hotels offered comfortable accommodations. Transportation arrangements were excellent including in-between flights. The food quality was generally good, especially in the street.

Fabulous trip

02-Nov-2019

This was my first trip with Eskapas Travel and won’t be my last. This trip exceeded all my expectations. Our guides in 3 countries were very knowledgeable, each day was packed with interesting sites to visit, the hotels were great. The tours were well planned and organized. I would definitely recommend Eskapas!

Celine A.

The best trip of my life!!! I loved everything about it!! The places visited hotels and food were amazing!!! The best part of my trip was having such a brilliant and knowledgeable guide like Samia in Egypt. She was amazing!!! I highly recommend this tour!

Well planned; Comprehensive; Extremely Educational

14-Jun-2020

Our guides were wonderfully knowledgeable about their culture and history of each country. But even more impressive was their passion for helping us learn about and appreciate the rich history and culture of their country. Turkey GReece and Egypt are amazing countries and this Eskapas multi-countri trip provides a very comprehensive overview at just the right pace.

Great Trio!

25-Dec-2019

This tour was an awesome summary of Mediterranean culture and history. We had an exceptional guide in Istanbul who not only educated us but looked out for our health. Our bus driver in Cairo was the best! He was always smiling, very friendly & gave us lots of chocolate! The antiquities we toured were amazing and most in pristine shape. We had a great group who looked out for one another and lasting friendships certainly were made. We learned an enormous amount about Greece, Turkey and Egypt on this tour and I definitely recommend it to everyone who really wants to get the full flavor of those counties in a very small period of time.
