Kadmar Travel proved to be highly reliable during our travel to Egypt last month. This was our first time to Egypt but they were v responsive from the word go. Their recommendation of using Farah Nile Cruise also turned out to be v good. They sent reps from the minute we landed in Cairo and helped us with luggage, transit etc. Their drivers were all on time, neatly dressed and came in v good vehicles. We were also received by their reps in Luxor when we landed (also on our return to Cairo for the 2nd time) and were escorted where necessary. Overall, I would give them a very high rating.
