"Our trip to Jordan was one of a lifetime experience. Your tour provided and guaranteed that for us. We are so grateful for your commitment and support throughout our tour dates. The hotels and the tour schedule were just as I had expected and much more.  Nothing was left to uncertainty. Your guide and driver were always there to accommodate us.  I cannot praise them enough. These two individuals were extraordinary and so much more...I cannot say enough about them!

We hope to return to Jordan someday, as it is a wonderful land."

"I had gone with Yalla Tours for the first time in January of 2011 with my sister and her husband. It was wonderful and our guides, were knowledgeable and personable. So, I did it again in October and November. Five weeks of Egypt with both of those wonderful guides and the most peaceful and patient of drivers. Both Mena and Milad remembered how I liked to see the monuments and after showing me around a bit and discussing dates and dynasties, I was able to rearrange my schedule to my liking without any conflicts or problems. I never had any fear for my safety in Cairo or Luxor or Aswan. It really was a most wonderful trip that Yalla and I created for me. A tour company is the people who work for it and these are wonderful people."

"We returned from a Ya'lla Tours organized trip to Egypt at the end of October. We had a great time, with no security concerns whatsoever. All of the staff and accommodations were excellent, particularly our guide in Cairo, Maha Hosny.

While at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, we ran into a group from a well known, very expensive tour operator. They had 20+ in their group w/one guide, while we had only 6 with our own driver, van and guide.

Trip was excellent, and the cost was fair. Thanks very much, RB"

"I just spoke with Ed & Toni. They are SO ecstatic about YALLA.  They said EVERYTHING has been first class, and they are SO pleased.
So I just wanted to pass that along to you again. Big pat of the back for YALLA and all you personally recommended.  They said their favorites were the Petra Kitchen & the balloon ride. SO HAPPY!!!

"ISTANBUL was wonderful! Our guide was excellent – above and beyond. …
We re-worked a few things – and that is what was wonderful about having a private guide – which I will highly recommend.  It was just so nice to sit in a café and have Turkish tea or a coffee or a cold drink and not be rushed. To go to his favorite local spots, etc.  

Last evening rep. from YA’LLA called our hotel room to make certain we were happy with everything and to reconfirm our car and driver for the next day (they had also done this while we were in the van with our guide/driver) – this is a nice touch.

Thank you once again, for all your hard work. It is always a pleasure to work with you.

"Just  to say thanks for a great trip. The six of us had a great time in Turkey. A wonderful guide and driver. The way to visit Turkey is by driving throught the country. Everybody loved the hot-air bolloon ride. All six of us would like to return to Turkey to visit the eastern side of Turkey. The young lady we had in Patmos for a guide was one of the best guides we have had on our trips. I will start working hard on our next trip to Israel and Jordan."

“I feel so enlightened and lucky to have gone to Egypt at this time."

Thank you all for working so hard to make the 'fam' trip to Egypt perfect! It was just the most wonderful experience start to finish. I feel so enlightened and lucky to have gone to Egypt at this time. I love the land and all its history but even more I love the Egyptian people - and I want peace and freedom for all of them.

“…we would highly recommend Ya'lla Tours for a high end, informative, enjoyable tour."

"...It was fabulous!  Istanbul is an exciting, exotic, friendly city that is incredibly clean and so much fun! ... The rest of the tour took us over most of western Turkey ... We were pleased to have such a congenial, knowledgeable guide and our driver was an expert in traffic or driving in the mountains.  Both men were very professional and really added to the enjoyment of the trip... our hotels were very nice as were all the people we met.  In conclusion, we would highly recommend Ya'lla Tours for a high end, informative, enjoyable tour.

“We were pampered and cared for the whole trip.”

...in November, 2010 we signed up with Ya’lla Tours for 3/29 – 4/12/2011.  We tried not to think too much about the trip since it was a few months off.

Then comes “25 January” 2011; the first day of protests... We were waiting on pins and needles till we heard that we could still come to Egypt for our tour.

We are both SO happy that we did go; and so were the Egyptian people!

We not once felt threatened or scared; Meena and the whole Ya’lla Team took such good care of us.  We were pampered and cared for the whole trip.

You shouldn’t miss a trip like this...

I thought you may be interested in hearing what my clients said about their Greece tour...

The guide "Juliette" was superb.  She and Ya'lla did a wonderful job of getting us to and fro and sharing insights into what we were seeing.  She went above and beyond the call of duty in locating Nan's luggage at the end of the trip. ~ Bill Phipps

Just more positive reasons why I always call Ya'lla for any of the destinations you represent!!!

Just wanted to let you know that you folks at Yalla hit another one out of the park!  The trip was awesome and went off without a hitch! 

~ Paul & Gail Vinay

We wanted you to know how well all of our arrangements worked out.

We were most impressed with our guide, Hani Heyasat and driver, Qassem Majdalawieh.  They were waiting for us when we crossed the border from Israel to Jordan...they were FANTASTIC. 

Our thanks go out to you and your team in Israel and Jordan for providing 1st rate service. 

~ Lorrie & Lou Dretchen

Thanks for your many years of great service to the travel industry and the sincere pleasure you depart to your clients.  Your longevity speaks for your efficient and personal care you give to all of us.

My husband and I want to express our gratitude towards your tour company and the many wonderful people who contributed to our fun and exciting trip to Israel, Jordan and Egypt.

We came away from our vacation happy to have met such wonderful people and experience such wonderful hospitality. You all represent your countries well.

~ Chris & Sharon Fitzpatrick

We just want you to know how very pleased we were with the entire Ya'lla experience.  It was so nice to be by ourselves with a guide, instead of being in a large tour group.  We were able to avoid the crowds and ask questions. 

For us, the Ya'lla tour and our experiences in Egypt proved to be the highlight of our entire cruise.  We want to thank you for providing such dependable and wonderful service.

Our guides were exceptional...

~ Shirley & Gary Beck

I just returned from accompanying a group of 10 to Morocco.  The trip was planned by Ya'lla Tours with whom I have dealt numerous times over the years.  As always, I was not disappointed! In a nutshell, the trip was outstanding and far exceeded the expectations of the entire group.  Everything was meticulously planned and executed.

“Everything was perfect…”

Everything was perfect and ran smoothly.
The service Yalla provided was extraordinary.  We were met by a representative every step of the way - at airports, hotels and any time we made a transfer.

~ M. Merriman

This is to express my heartfelt gratitude and respect for your Egyptian staff for their guidance and assistance during our recent group tour of Egypt. At each site, Aswan, Luxor and Cairo They were unfailingly cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful! It is without hesitation that we would recommend your sevice to others traveling to Egypt.
