Does your bucket list include the Giza pyramids?

Egypt is a destination where ancient wonders, vibrant culture, and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience. From the majestic pyramids of Giza to the serene beaches of Sharm El Sheikh, the historic temples of Luxor, and the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, Egypt offers something for every traveler. When you book your Egypt journey with me, you’re choosing a stress-free, bespoke travel experience crafted with care and expertise honed over 35 years in the luxury travel industry.

Your Tailored Egyptian Journey

Cairo: Where Ancient Meets Modern

Begin your journey in Cairo, a city that pulses with life and history. Explore the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza, the enigmatic Sphinx, and the treasures of the Egyptian Museum, including King Tutankhamun's golden mask. I’ll arrange private, expert-led tours that delve into both the famous landmarks and lesser-known sites like Saqqara and Dahshur. Enjoy luxurious stays with views of the pyramids or the Nile.

Luxor: The World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum

In Luxor, marvel at the grandeur of the Karnak and Luxor temples. Explore the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, are adorned with vivid, ancient art. I’ll organize private access to key sites and unique experiences, such as hot air balloon rides over the Nile at sunrise.

Aswan: Gateway to Nubia

Relax in the picturesque city of Aswan, known for its laid-back charm and stunning scenery. Visit the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and the Unfinished Obelisk, a testament to ancient engineering. A short flight brings you to Abu Simbel, a must-see masterpiece of ancient Egypt, where the massive statues of Ramses II and Nefertari stand as a tribute to power and devotion. With me, you’ll enjoy seamless logistics and expert-guided exploration of this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Nile: Cruise in Luxury

Experience the magic of the Nile with a luxurious cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Stop at iconic temples like Edfu and Kom Ombo while soaking in the tranquility of the river. I’ll ensure you travel aboard a boutique riverboat or a five-star cruise tailored to your preferences.

Sharm El Sheikh: Red Sea Bliss

Complete your adventure with a stay in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt’s premier beach destination. Relax on pristine beaches or dive into the vibrant underwater world of the Red Sea, renowned for its coral reefs and marine life. I can arrange private yacht excursions, diving tours, or simply a luxurious retreat at a world-class resort. For those seeking adventure, explore the Sinai Desert or trek to Mount Sinai for a sunrise experience.

Professional Service with a Personal Touch
Reviewed By Jody & Marty - Solon, Iowa | Traveled to Danube ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Leslie has a way of nailing down the perfect trip for us. Her knowledge of vacation destinations is vast, and the hotels and excursions she has hooked us up with have been first rate. She's professional, incredibly informed and is keenly aware that one size does not fit all. I appreciate that most of all. At her suggestion we recently took a Danube River cruise on the Scenic Amber. It was first rate. Scenic is a fabulous experience. We met great people and had a wonderful time. We saw beautiful cities along the Danube and, again at her suggestion, did a pre-cruise extension in Prague. It was simply wonderful. I whole-heartedly recommend Leslie. Give her a call for your next trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Sailing Adventure
Reviewed By Jane1 - Florida, Ontario | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Three friends from two countries decided to sail the Caribbean last winter. It was a bit complicated to arrange when dealing with two different currencies and schedules. Leslie handled these travel arrangements with courtesy and confidence. She made recommendations for hotels and leisure prior to boarding. She sent a full daily itinerary with photos of how the cruise would roll out. We knew we were in capable hands from the time we initiated the request for travel help to the end of the trip. And she apportioned the expenses appropriately guiding us what was highly recommended and what was optional. We could not have done this on our own. Another trip is brewing in my mind and she will organize it for us. Thank you Leslie

Awesome Cruise Experience
Reviewed By TravelMorein26 - Chattanooga, TN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Leslie helped us plan a cruise to the Caribbean for Thanksgiving. There were 18 people in our group and she made the process so smooth and seamless for us. All we had to do was pay the fare by the due date. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
