About Me

Explore the Middle East with Tauck’s Unmatched Expertise

Tauck’s Middle East tour is a remarkable journey through history, culture, and discovery, designed to showcase some of the world’s most legendary destinations. With expert guides and seamless planning, guests enjoy insider access and meaningful experiences while exploring ancient treasures that have inspired travelers for centuries. This is more than just a trip—it’s a bucket-list adventure brought to life.

One of the most fascinating stops on this journey is Old Cairo, a district rich with layers of history and tradition. Here you’ll step back in time as you explore ancient churches, mosques, and synagogues that reflect the city’s diverse cultural and religious heritage. From the historic Hanging Church to the lively Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Old Cairo offers a glimpse into Egypt’s soul—a vibrant blend of antiquity and daily life that few travelers ever forget.

Of course, the adventure also includes the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the breathtaking Rose City of Petra in Jordan, carved into rose-red cliffs and immortalized in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Add to that the desert beauty of Wadi Rum, the sacred waters of the Dead Sea, and a luxury cruise along the Nile River, and you have an itinerary that checks off multiple world-renowned experiences in one extraordinary trip.

Tauck’s incredible customer service sets these journeys apart. From start to finish, every detail is thoughtfully curated—from accommodations and meals to exclusive experiences and local interactions. With small group sizes and attentive guides, travelers receive personalized support and insider knowledge that turns each destination into a deeper, more enriching experience.

River Trip 2018
Reviewed By Ed - Ocean Isle Beach, NC | Traveled to Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
I took the AMA Waterways 7 night Captivating Rhine cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. I feel I could have handled getting over to Europe and finding my way to the departure port on my own, but it was really great to have Shawn handle all the details of the transfers, pre and post cruise day trips, and hotel stays for me, so I didn't have to--ALL AT NO COST TO ME! It made the entire experience all the more relaxing to know if something went wrong, I had Shawn standing by-- ready to help.

Nowadays, it's rare to pay for something and feel like you really got your money's worth, but I don't think I could have paid for any better service than what I experienced on my AMA cruise. For most of my career I have traveled internationally, and I have never had translator guides as good as AMA's. The cruise manager, Nicki Drinkwater, was a true professional. I have never seen anyone work so hard! There's no way he's only one person, because he seemed to be everywhere at the same time!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Experience for First Cruise
Reviewed By Jorrthom - Cincinnati, OH | Traveled to Caribbean
Shawn was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was quick with responses to questions, and made himself available as needed throughout the day. He helped us not only add a traveler 2 days before we set sail, he helped coordinate one of our party members meeting us at a port-of-call later in the trip due to some early medical conditions! The trip probably would not have happened without him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Unforgettable cruise!
Reviewed By TeamRoberts5 - Connersville, IN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Shawn had his work cut out for him...but boy did he rock it!!! When going on a cruise and due to crazy mother nature where you should have missed the ship, panick in the gallery and everyone on their phone...when you book with Shawn guess what?!! We sat back and relaxed while he took care of EVERYTHING for us!! Glad to say we had an amazing outcome and a wonderful trip but the stress that departure day went from crazy maniac lady to cool and calm. Shawn answered the second we landed at a different airport and was booking our flights to reach our cruise. Lastly his follow through after the trip was spot on. After emergency visit due to a bug bite, Shawn still asked questions of concern. First time using a travel agent and Shawn exceeded our expectations!! Thank you for an amazing experience and amazing vacation!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Quick family trip b/f living overseas for 3 years!
Reviewed By Allyson - Washington, DC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Shawn really helped us with the trip. We were clueless about the Fast Pass process (it's very different now than a decade ago!). He kept monitoring restaurant availability and got us into the Princess Dinner at the last minute even though it had been booked for months.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Life Saver
Our family had the best vacation at Disney over New Years! I have to give a big THANK YOU to Neptune Vacations by Shawn Janofski for helping us plan a full blown Disney vacation in just over a month's time. Most people plan a trip like this a year out but this vacation came together so easily with Shawn's expertise and help. I'd recommend Shawn to anyone. Also, we were victims ?? of the crazy airline disaster of Christmas '22 and had a canceled flight the day after Christmas when we were originally supposed to go. I texted Shawn in panic and he immediately got on the phone with Disney and waited 4 hours on a call to move our trip a few days back. Not only that but he got us better parks & some money back. We are so thankful for Shawn and how easy he makes these trips for us. We have used him 3 times in the past 4 years to book Disney (x 2) and Universal and I can say I'll never use anyone else. Thanks for spoiling us, Shawn!

The Most Magical Place On Earth
The expertise and personal experience Shawn brought to the planning process was hands-down the single biggest factor in making our Disney trip such a success. Every detail was planned for, every consideration taken into account, the itinerary was skillfully crafted to hit all the highlights and avoid all the first-timer pitfalls. Absolutely no complaints, and nothing but compliments for the professional job he did as our travel agent.
