My first trip with Travel talk tours was after the wedding. We wanted to spend our honeymoon in Egypt. We made early bookings and called them fifteen days before the due date for proper planning. We wanted this to be the most memorable event of our life but it never was. There were challenges with departure. There were delays and when we got to our destination, the hotel they had booked for us was not up to standard. They were ordinary rooms. Nothing special about their accommodations as they claim. Their tour guide did not have enough options of places we could visit, making it more difficult. It was horrible and we longed to be back home.
