Does your bucket list include the Giza pyramids?

Egypt is a destination where ancient wonders, vibrant culture, and natural beauty come together to create an unforgettable experience. From the majestic pyramids of Giza to the serene beaches of Sharm El Sheikh, the historic temples of Luxor, and the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, Egypt offers something for every traveler. When you book your Egypt journey with me, you’re choosing a stress-free, bespoke travel experience crafted with care and expertise honed over 35 years in the luxury travel industry.


Your Tailored Egyptian Journey


Cairo: Where Ancient Meets Modern


Begin your journey in Cairo, a city that pulses with life and history. Explore the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza, the enigmatic Sphinx, and the treasures of the Egyptian Museum, including King Tutankhamun's golden mask. I’ll arrange private, expert-led tours that delve into both the famous landmarks and lesser-known sites like Saqqara and Dahshur. Enjoy luxurious stays with views of the pyramids or the Nile.


Luxor: The World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum


In Luxor, marvel at the grandeur of the Karnak and Luxor temples. Explore the Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, are adorned with vivid, ancient art. I’ll organize private access to key sites and unique experiences, such as hot air balloon rides over the Nile at sunrise.


Aswan: Gateway to Nubia


Relax in the picturesque city of Aswan, known for its laid-back charm and stunning scenery. Visit the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and the Unfinished Obelisk, a testament to ancient engineering. A short flight brings you to Abu Simbel, a must-see masterpiece of ancient Egypt, where the massive statues of Ramses II and Nefertari stand as a tribute to power and devotion. With me, you’ll enjoy seamless logistics and expert-guided exploration of this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site.


The Nile: Cruise in Luxury


Experience the magic of the Nile with a luxurious cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Stop at iconic temples like Edfu and Kom Ombo while soaking in the tranquility of the river. I’ll ensure you travel aboard a boutique riverboat or a five-star cruise tailored to your preferences.


Sharm El Sheikh: Red Sea Bliss


Complete your adventure with a stay in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt’s premier beach destination. Relax on pristine beaches or dive into the vibrant underwater world of the Red Sea, renowned for its coral reefs and marine life. I can arrange private yacht excursions, diving tours, or simply a luxurious retreat at a world-class resort. For those seeking adventure, explore the Sinai Desert or trek to Mount Sinai for a sunrise experience.

Custom tour takes all the hassle out of traveling
Leslie helped me craft a personal tour in Costa Rica, with excellent accommodations, activities and transport. Her advice was invaluable in helping me decide how and where to spend my time, and her travel partners in the US and on the ground provided fantastic and seamless service.

Our Italian trip of a lifetime!
Leslie was awesome and we put her through a lot. She planned a custom trip to Italy (Venice, Florence, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri,Amalfi,Positano & Rome) for our family group of 11 and it was spot on! She booked all hotels, tours and transportation and it all went smoothly. We were all very happy with the outcome. She provided a lot of expertise and made key recommendations on hotel locations and tours that made our trip run smoothly. She was always available and I felt very confident in her guidance and advice. She's now planning our next family trip to Greece!

Tropical north Queesland, a dream destination
We wanted to get to Queensland before the Olympics makes it too crowded. Leslie knows the area and helped arrange a tour of the "best of the best" hotels in northeastern Australia. Can't say enough about how great this trip was.
