Re: Booking No. 4192 DELUXE PACKAGE TO EGYPT
Dear Mr. Tsapelas,
I am writing this short note to praise your agent Vicky.
After many changes by my clients, she put together a wonderful itinerary for Ellen Tseytel & Eugene Chernyak.
The hotels were wonderful, the cruise delightful and the service extraordinaire.
As a travel agent in this day and age, I understand the frustrations of getting all the pertinent information for the clients, but of course closing the order is difficult. Between the internet and everything elase we have to work with, vicky did a tremendous job with this booking.
I look forward to working with Vicky again in the future, and if you are able could you kindly send me any brochures which I can use o ce new clients?
Thank you for keeping your standards high.
Cordially,
Helene Mangot

Vicky,
Our trip was very nice. Our transfer was
right outside of customs waiting for us in a
nice, new bus--plenty of room. We really
liked the Royal Olympic Hotel. The staff
was very friendly and our rooms very
lovely. We enjoyed gathering around the
pool area in the afternoon and early
evenings for r and r. Our city tour was
very nice and our guide was very informative
and gave such wonderful information. One
could really tell that she enjoyed her job.
Our ship was as expected and I think I
mentioned that my parents upgraded their
cabin for an room--my mom is
claustrophobic. We enjoyed visiting the
Greek islands and found that our dollar was
much better in Greece than other countries
of Europe. Thanks so much for all your work
with our trip. Our only other problem was
what I had already mentioned but will copy
it below. Overall, we had a great trip.
Greece is such a beautiful country.

Hi Vicky,
It is Jo Collins here. You put together a wonderful package for my mother-in-law to Egypt and Israel earlier this year, they had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the personalized service that you put together.
As an independent travel agent, I received a brochure/flyer for trips with CE Vacations to Jamaica, I believe that this is also part of Rekotours (your company).
Please let me know if this is a possibility.

Dear George,
Wahid our tour escort was great. So were the guides in Cairo and on the cruise. Our final guide in Cairo Abir had the best command of English and was very friendly and helpful. We count her and Wahid as new friends. Henni our driver in Cairo was as good as they come. We hope he will be our driver when we return to Cairo. Looking forward to working with you again.
Our tour escort Wahid was most helpful and professional. He was very friendly, cordial and always smiling. The same is true of our local tours both in Cairo and on the cruise. Our female guide Cairo Abir had the best command of English, and was very clear in her explanations.

I just wanted to thank you for putting together this tour to Egypt for me at the last minute. I had called & emailed several tours companies, & all of them said I was "out of luck" for a Nile Cruise, as well as, hotels, as everything was booked up for the holidays. Then, all of a sudden, I found " YTB Travel", & YOU were there for us! Vicky, you were patient, friendly, & spent the time to put everything together. Thank you so much!!! You're the BEST!!!

We took the 10 days trip vacation package to Egypt in December 2007. The trip was organized perfect. The company and the staff in Egypt were very professional and took care of our needs the best way possible, even when sometimes our request was a bit out of line. They went the extra mile to satisfy us in any way they could. I would specially mention the guide in Cairo Haitham Samir who took care of all our needs and requests -additional excursion - till the last moment we checked in and ready to board the airplane back to California. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We strongly recommend this package. Thank you for arranging this trip for us, it was amazing and unforgettable.

Vicki:
This is 1 of 3 reviews of the Aegean II, I was very impressed!
Golden Sun Cruises operates the once famous classic Italian liner SS
Ausonia although she is now named “Aegean two.” This ship is a
gleaning gem and is one of the best maintained ships anywhere and
the finest examples of her kind left in the world. She operates
short 3 and 4 night cruises out of Piraeus to the all the popular
Greek Islands as well as Turkey. I highly recommend you experience
the SS Aegean two, let alone the magnificent destinations she
visits!
You may have this info already!

Just wanted to let you know what a great time everyone had on the
trip we took to Greece earlier this month.
The services provided in Greece were outstanding. The tour operator
there was always on time for all of the planned activities and the
tour guides were exceptional, especially George our guide on the
three day Classical Tour. We all felt like we had made many friends
by the time we left to come home and sad to leave such a beautiful
country with such a fascinating history.
Some of the participants had never left the U.S. before and this was
a great educational experience for them, not only historically but
culturally. I think to travel is the best educational experience
anyone can have. I hope to do many more trips with Reko Tours who
provided us with such an exceptional opportunity to experience that
part of the world.
I would like to thank both George and Vicky for a job well done.
Yours Sincerely,
Wendy Keller
