Choosing a favorite destination is always difficult.

Victor Romagnoli I love the excitement of getting up each morning on a tour and not knowing exactly how a day will unfold. It keeps me on my toes so to speak, and adds a breath of excitement to each day on tour. With almost 30 years of tour leading under my belt, I thank all of you for being a part of this exciting journey. Read More

victor romagnoli

EDUCATION:
HBA English BA History

LANGUAGE:
Being able to speak several languages has made travelling an enriching experience; the conversations one can so easily slip into with locals - who come from all walks of life - adds greatly to my feel for a place.

TOURS LED:
Over a span of almost 30 years, I have lead tours virtually all over the globe.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.

Frequently Asked Questions

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to Egypt?

Nearly all foreign nationals travelling to Egypt require a visa, except those from certain Arab countries.

02. Is Egypt safe?

Crime levels in Egypt are very low. For example, street muggings and burglaries are not as common compared with many Western countries. The main issues tourists should be aware of are petty crimes, which include pickpocketing and baggage theft. Scams are also widespread and unwitting tourists are often parted from their cash under false pretenses, such as paying for products or services they didn’t want.

03. When is the best time to visit Egypt?

Egypt offers year-round sunshine with extremely hot dry summers and warm winters. The main tourist season takes place during winter (between late November to late February) as travellers come to enjoy pleasantly warm temperatures and lots of sun. Both March and April are also good times to visit Egypt as the warm weather continues before the arrival of the ferociously hot summer temperatures.
