Last weekend, I had the pleasure of viewing Near & Far travelers Pedie and Ruben's photographs from their "Splendors of the Nile" tour, which they took in 2009. (Pedie and Ruben were members of our Peru and China tours)

It was through their excitement and recommendation that I booked this tour for our group. They loved the whole tour, although Pedie did admit to getting a little "templed out". Both praised the hotel and especially the cruise boat. They also felt that the Collette tour guide and the local Smithsonian Egyptologists were excellent.
