Hello Joel,
It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to plan this very special trip for you and your wife.
As you have mentioned, we did our best to accommodate the special dietary restrictions for your wife. I personally communicated with the Nile cruise, your hotel in Luxor, your hotel in Aswan, and your hotel in Cairo to make sure they will accommodate you.
I’m really glad you enjoyed the Old Cataract hotel in Aswan. As you may remember, this was not part of your original itinerary but we included this free upgrade as an anniversary gift for you and your wife to ensure that you would have a memorable trip.
When we initially discussed the hotel in Cairo, you choose the Amarante Pyramids Hotel. You explained that you didn’t care about the hotel in Cairo, and you wanted to choose a budget option. We gave you two upgrade options to replace this hotel, but you wanted to go to the Amarante Pyramids Hotel and declined our offers. I totally understand your frustration with the service at this particular hotel but budget hotels don’t always come with the best service.
We also offered to include lunch meals during the tours to make it convenient for you and your wife. This way the drivers would accommodate you and plan their stops to include it in their daily schedules. However, you declined this offer and decided to take care of your lunches during the tours. Based on this, we expected that you would let the drivers know where and when you were ready to eat.
Last but not least, I’m sorry about the confusion in Alexandria and missing the Citadel tour. Taking into consideration that Alexandria is three hours away from Cairo made it difficult to fit everything into one day, including travelling back to Cairo that night. You were able to visit Pompey Pillar, Catacombs, the Library, and the Museum. We suggested starting early to be able to see everything including the Citadel, but unfortunately due to time constraints, we were unable to fit it in.
I’m glad that your overall experience with us was great and you enjoyed your trip.
Thank you for traveling with Osiris Tours and we can’t wait to plan your next adventure.
Thank you
