I have just returned from the Egypt tour promoted by Tour Tribe as ‘a journey of a lifetime’ ‘premium, Cairo & Nile trip’, ‘not DIY, Curated & VIP experience…’I am afraid the tour was far from premium, it was poorly organised, the hotel in Cairo although described as 4* was substandard & old, the sleeper train on way to Aswan was appalling & disgusting with very poor WC facilities. It was a 15 hours journey, leading to the group missing key parts of the tour that was promised, such as the Nubiun Village & Felucca boat.Throughout the trip there was poor time keeping, Ghazala showed no leadership skills, kept hiding behind the tour guides/third parties. Our contract was with her not any third parties. Many times she kept defending the poor service by saying it was a ‘pilot/opening tour’.This is not acceptable.Tour Tribe charged premium rates for a substandard service. Tour Tribe was cutting cost at every opportunity.Tour Tribe only paid for the cheaper excursions or took to free places like the masjid. Any excursion which was over £15 had to be paid for separately. Key sites which Egypt is renowned for such as Abu Simbel Temple, Grand Egyptian Museum were not included.There was no hotel on the last two days of the tour as Tour Tribe wanted to cut cost by saving on hotel expenses, which meant no shower/washroom for 48 hours for the group members. The only thing that made this trip bearable were the fellow travellers, the tour guides, the cruise & the ancient history of Egypt. I have travelled with many muslim groups before & always support muslim businesses but I will not be using Tour Tribe again. I did not get what I paid for.
