Booking Globus Egyptian Spendor through Affordable Tours
 
I'm planning a trip to Egypt and have decided to go with Globus tours. I know if you book with Affordable Tours you save about $150. Is there any reason NOT to book with them and instead go directly through Globus?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.

I have found an excpetional Egypt tour price through egyptontheweb.com. Check them out. P.S. - when do you plan to go? Because the best deal is in May 2004.

The few time we've used Globus, we've take a xerox copy of Affordable tours or Pavlaus discounters to our travel agent and asked them to match the price. They will. That way you'll have the advantage of both the discount and the personal relationship with your own travel agent.

We went with Egyptian Connection (egyptontheweb.com) and it was not only one of the best tour groups we had, but an outstanding value.

I've just returned last March, taking that same tour from Affordable Tours. No, there is no reason to book with them instead of Globus. You just received the discount, that's all. As other poster said, if Globus can match the price, then you choose which is easier for you.
