I booked my tour to Egypt through Grand Travel, and it was one of the smoothest travel experiences I’ve ever had. The Nile cruise, the guided tours, and the hotel selections were all top-notch. What I appreciated most was how organised everything felt - no hidden surprises, just great service and amazing history. Highly recommend them for anyone planning an Egypt adventure.

My wellness retreat in Morocco with Grand Travel was exactly what I needed. The riad was beautiful, the activities were perfectly balanced, and the team made me feel safe and supported the entire time. It’s rare to find a travel agency that understands women’s wellness so well. I can’t wait to book my next retreat with them!

Grand Travel made the whole trip feel luxurious, safe, and empowering. I returned home feeling refreshed and reconnected with myself.
