"My son and I took a 15 day tour to Egypt and Petra. Osiris Tour organized a fabulous tour. More importantly every thing that was promised was done to perfection. We were met by or guides and drivers on time. Every one of our tour guides was very well educated and had an abundance of knowledge. We developed also a personal relation ship with them The Hotels were all wonderful and very comfortable. The food where provided was abundant with international offerings as well a regional and local foods, which we really enjoyed. Yes I would recommend Osiris to anyone who wants a personal touch and a choice of out of the way venues. Osisis tour will really guide you and cater what you want to experience . I do highly recommend to take the time to see Petra. It is such a special place unique in the history of the world."

What travelers are saying

"When I signed up for the Wonders of Costa Rica at a slower pace. The hotel listed in the itinerary for day 8&9 was a 4 star hotel on the beach called the Punta Leona. I'm not sure when but Road Scholar changed the Punta Leona hotel for the 3 star Villa Lapis Jungle hotel. I was shocked when we drove up to this dump. Others in the group wanted to leave and find another hotel. I had black bugs under that shower mat and the shower did not drain, Spiders on the wall and roaches coming out of the cracked in the bathroom. The bed was a thin mattress on a board and was hard as a rock. The food they put out was covered with a wrap but 15 minutes after the plastic wrap was removed it was covered with fruit flies. I passed on the open food bowls. The walls were real thin and the neighbors were real noisy until 11:30 pm. Others in the group complained about the late night noise, spiders and toilet seat being broken. I'm not sure where this place gets 3 stars. After I saw the roaches, I give it a 1 star. Road Scholar put us up in beautiful hotels and then they take us here. You can do better than this Road Scholar. The end the story, Road Scholar customer service called me about my concern and said they have never used the Punta Leona, (I sent her my itinerary that said PUNTA LEONA). She also said they haven't had any complaints about this Villa Lapis dump. After her call, I'm not sure if I'll ever travel with Road Scholar again. Enough said...."
