This was our 4th Tauck trip and as usual we had great experiences. Yes, you’re often up very early in order to beat the crowds at certain temples and tombs but well worth it. The in-flight tours were handled efficiently without a hitch. Excellent TD and local guides. However, 4 nights on the Nile cruise was too long and only 1 night at the beautiful Cataract Hotel in Aswan was, in my view, not enough. This part of the itinerary should definitely be tweaked. Instead, many in our group would have preferred 3 nights on the boat and 2 at the Cataract. In hindsight I would have also liked to have visited the capital of Jordan, Amman for half day. The itinerary should include such an important city after all. Otherwise, the sites, the people, the food and overall experiences made for a great trip.
