What others say about our tours :

Hello Omar.

I hope you are ok. Well, what can I say. Every year the holiday just gets better. Amazing. The Amarco 1 gets better and better. The staff are so friendly its like being part of a family. They are truly lovely people. To say we were well looked after was an understatement.

We had a guide called Aly Hassan and I think he had the time of his life. We told him to bring his sun tan cream and swimming trunks because we had been everywhere and done everything. Well, how wrong we were. Aly found places we had never been. Well done him. He really was a good man.

Thank you so much for great holiday Omar.

I hope to call you again next year.

Take care of yourself.

Best wishes and more important great big hugs.
