I've been looking on the web at all of the different companies that do tours or help arrange packages. We are on a budget so money is a factor, but I also want to get something that is worthwhile.

travelegyptnow seems less expensive than most other sites. Has anyone used them? If so, can you share your experience please?

Thanks!

Just hoping someone would reply to this post? I saw on tripadvisor that people spoke well of this company. I just would like to hear a few more first hand experiences before booking.

Thanks!

Have you posted on Thorntree over on Lonely Planets site yet? If you are looking for budget ideas, backpackers probably are a good bet to get advise from.

Maybe the clientel over there is more aware of travelegyptnow.com than we are.

Good luck.

Hey,i used Travelegypt now when visited Egypt.They are very cheap and they make very good tours,go ahead and book your tour with them.
I heard about them from google sponsored links when i was looking for cheap tours but since it seems too cheap than usual i suspect them and i looked for some reviews about them and read some very good reviews on lonely planet like Mr Casual_Cairo told you.

sally_bee, have you already taken your trip? How were the accomodations and everything else? We do plan to book with them. We've now asked to add on a Jordan extension and we are working out what we really want to see. I did look over at Thorntree and saw a couple good reviews (and no bad ones), but I'd still like to hear more specifics.

Thanks!

sally_bee: Does Casual Cairo look like a man??

Hi see_the_world
Yea i already have taken my tour and i was on budget also.The hotels are all very clean and wonderful stuff! private bathrooms.
Seems that you don't trust the company enough because it is cheap.i have had good tour really but if you feel you don't like it much so you can simply book with another company : )

Thanks Sally_bee! We are booking with them and are just finalizing a few last details since we've switched the order around and added a few extra locations to the basic tour. I wasn't worried because they were budget. I was just worried because I had only seen a couple reviews of them (which were good). For many other companies I've considered I was able to find quite a few more reviews or forums with people talking about them.

Thanks for commenting on the accomodations. I feel a bit better now.
