Excellent customer service
I telephoned Saga to enquire about the Sicily - Jewel of the Mediterranean tour. Lisa was brilliant! Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and able to answer all my questions. My husband and I are now booked onto the tour and very much looking forward to our first foreign holiday in seven years!

Just booked a tour of India by telephone with a very pleasant, knowledgeable and person named Melanie.
Everything went smoothly and efficiently. Speaking to a person instead of trying to do it on-line was less stressful for me.

Magic of the Nile
This 10 day holiday was the perfect relaxation I sought.
The chauffeur service was excellent, the wheelchair assistance at Heathrow, Luxor & Cairo were super efficient, the Sonestra St George hotel in Luxor was first class, and our excellent tour manager, Samer, and Guide,Ahmed, made the Nile cruise an experience of the Egyptian magic. Thank you

An excellent way to see the best of Egypt
Just returned from the Cairo, Alexandria and Nile Cruise. A great experience, Ayman, the tour manager , was exceptional as was John the very knowledgeable Egyptologist. There were many early starts, but all well worth the effort.
The new Grand Egyptian Museum is an outstanding building full of wonderful artifacts.
The Cairo hotel was first class and the the Nile boat facilities and staff were very good.

Cairo snd the Nile
We had a great holiday on Saga’s Cairo, Alexandria and Nile cruise. Ayman our tour guide dealt with everything - and everyone - effectively and with good humour. John our Egyptologist was a mine of information, giving exactly the right amount of detail in his explanations and stories. The Cairo hotel and the boat were fine, the other members of the group were great. Most of the included visits took place in the mornings with the optional excursions and events later in the day. My only comment about the itinerary would be that the long journey to Alexandria was barely worth it whilst the Great Egyptian Museum in Cairo would have merited an inclusion as an essential rather than a paid for extra. Among so many wonderful sites the highlights for me were the pyramids, Valley of the Kings and Karnak.

Brochures won't stop.
The cruise to Norway was good. Gluten free food was not. But the relentless holiday brochures are so annoying. We have cancelled several times but they still arrive. My husband cancelled so they sent them to me. I cancelled so we both get them now. STOP SENDING US BROCHURES. WE ARE NOT COMING BACK.
Now they want me to email again to stop them. I have got so fed up I am just going to return them.

Amazing holiday
Everything was very well organised. The hotel and boat staff were very friendly. The tour guide was brilliant, always keeping an eye on everyone. The Egyptologist was exceptional, I probably won't remember a third of what he told us but thoroughly enjoyed every trip. This was our first escorted trip with Saga and will definitely do it again.

Cairo, Alexandra and Nile Cruise
We thoroughly recommend this holiday! Even if you only have a mild interest in the temples etc. Every day held a new experience. John, our Egyptologist guide, had endless knowledge, and our Tour Manager, Ayman, was always with us to ensure everyone was happy, both were extremely respectful and helpful. We even had a Q&A session one afternoon for any queries we had about the Egyptian way of life. Sailing down the Nile at sunset was something I will never forget. The daily trips to see the temples were timed to encounter the least crowds as far as possible which made the early mornings worth it! Thank you Ayman and John!

I’ve just booked a holiday to denia hotel with saga and my travel consultant Risa was excellent. I hope I’ve spelled that correctly. Risa was extremely thorough and answered all my queries. I was especially grateful that she was able to get me a flight out earlier as I will be in Spain before going to Denia.
