As promised, just wanted to say that we really enjoyed our two-centre holiday in Egypt, thanks to you and your recommendations.

Also, as a way of some feedback, the Safir Hotel in Cairo that you recommended to us exceeded our expectation, the hotel was superb and the cuisine excellent, catering well for vegetarians.

We have already passed on your contact details to family and friends, and we will most certainly contact you again, when we are next looking at other holiday options. Thank you, once again.

Kind regards

We had a great holiday in Egypt - many thanks! On arrival at Luxor we were taken to an alternative boat "Mahroussa" instead of "Angelotel". It was very good; the rep also said it's a much better boat. Thanks again,

Questions

How satisfied are you overall with the holiday we offered to you?

More than satisfied with the holiday overall, however we didn't realise until after the holiday was booked that we were flying out of one airport and flying into another. This obviously did create an inconvenience as we were unable to take our car, which is our preferred form of travel to the airport and had to make other arrangements.

How satisfied are you with the clarity of information or advice provided about your holiday?

The information was emailed to me straight away with all the details that I would need, plus a hard copy followed in the post.

How satisfied are you with the courtesy of the staff?

Bhussan was extremely professional and helped with my further enquiries once the holiday was booked. I would most definately consider using Viva Tours and Travel again for my holidays. Also I well be mentioning this to family and friends.

I thought I would just let you know how pleased we all were with our recent holiday to Egypt. I must admit I was a little sceptical booking on the internet, however at every point we were met by the local representatives who couldn’t have been more accommodating.

Thank you for all your help.,

Regards Mark Henderson & family

Dear all,

We recently returned from our holiday to Egypt.

We had booked 11 nights at Sharm-el Sheikh with a two day / one night trip to Cairo included. Your staff had found us all of the flights (both international and domestic in Egypt), hotels, bus transfers and tours in Cairo to the Pyramids.

I recall looking at the itinery when we booked it and thinking that it would be a miracle if everything ran smoothly. Well we didn't need a miracle - it did all work excellently. All of the flights were on time, our bus transfers were there when we needed them and the Hotels met our needs. The trips to the Pyramids and to the Sound & Light show were very good as well.

The only downside was the dysentry that we all got in the Sierra Hotel in Sharm-el Sheikh. The Sierra is a lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff but although the place mostly looks clean there is a problem with stomach bugs. I believe that 90% of the guests that were there at the same time as us suffered with the same symptoms of sickness, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. That, however is not your fault!

We would like to thank all of you for the great job you did of organising our trip for us. Special thanks to Bhusshan and Sabina for their help.

Best regards

Russell & Lorraine Foden
