Why a Private and Customised Tour?
People have many reasons to hire a private guide when travelling abroad. First and foremost is to see the country in comfort. With a private tour you don't need to worry about the language barrier so much. Your guide acts as a buffer between you and the unknown.
A second reason to hire a private guide is to promote and support local communities, the ultimate goal being empowerment. It is one thing to visit a new country alone and immerse yourself completely in the culture, it can be exciting. However, at the same time you'll miss out on so much. With a private guide you travel with someone who knows the culture, the history and the landscape. With a private guide you spend more time learning and absorbing what is around you rather than trying to figure out where you are and how to get to the next place.
A third reason to hire a private guide is because a private guide knows where to go and can suggest places and regions that fit what you are looking for. We suggest several regions: Upper Egypt, Lower Egypt, Oasis, Red Sea, Mediterranean Coast, but this is not all there is… When you break these regions down in smaller provinces, it opens yet another world: Alexander, Cairo, Suez, Sinai, Luxor and Aswan, just to name a few. A private guide knows the lay of the land and the things you absolutely must see.
Finally - and probably our favourite reason to use the services of a private guided tour - A private guide allows you to travel more or less under the radar. With a private guide you travel like a local. This lowers your susceptibility to crime, rude behaviour and tourist gouging. We call the method of travel Stealth Tourism.
So you see, travelling with a private guide will make your cultural experience more fulfilling, more relaxing, and safer. Travel 2 Culture will help you'll learn more about ancient Egypt, African culture, and the Black people of the Nile Valley. We believe, as you appreciate and know more of the Nubian way of life, you will make new friends in new places that are kind-hearted and genuine.
We also like to be contacted directly; we find this is the least confusing method to ensure you get exactly what you want. Therefore, feel free to send us an Email or give us a call.
