✈ ON TOUR: The scenery has taken centre stage as Linzi and her group continue their journey through Europe.

🏔Travelling through the Tyrol Valley, the group was treated to spectacular mountain landscapes, green pastures and rushing rivers that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

🏰 Cruising sections of the Danube offered a slower perspective on the countryside, while free time in Salzburg saw some travellers venture up to the fortress for sweeping views across the city and beyond.

🐐One of the standout experiences has been visiting the Eagle's Nest. While the site carries a complex history, the alpine scenery is simply breathtaking. A few adventurous members of the group even climbed higher still, earning themselves the title of the tour's unofficial mountain goats.

☕ From dramatic mountain vistas to coffee and cake enjoyed in the sunshine, the journey continues to be filled with memorable moments and wonderful company.

🍥 From there it was on to elegant Vienna, where beautiful weather, apple strudel and grand architecture provided a warm welcome. A highlight for many was an evening enjoying opera and classical music in one of Europe's most magnificent settings.

📚During free time, some of the group discovered the Austrian National Library, one of Vienna's hidden treasures and a reminder that some of the best travel experiences are often the ones you don't plan.

👭New friendships are forming, adventures are unfolding, and Europe is already delivering memorable moments.

🇪🇬 Explore Egypt with Us. Egypt changed Sarah Vidler's life. As a history-obsessed teenager, Sarah convinced her father to take her to Egypt. What began as a dream trip became a lifelong passion that shaped her studies, career and future.

🐪 Sarah is an Egyptologist who has spent decades studying, teaching and writing about Ancient Egypt. Her Master's research focused on Ancient Egyptian Goddesses, and she remains fascinated by the stories, beliefs and people who created one of the world's most remarkable civilisations.

🕍 Travelling through Egypt with Sarah is about much more than seeing famous landmarks. The Pyramids become more than monuments. Temples become more than stone buildings. Symbols, stories and mythology come alive as Sarah shares the layers of history that many visitors never discover.

📜 As Sarah says, "Modern Egypt is built upon medieval Egypt, and medieval Egypt is built upon ancient Egypt. There are stories everywhere if you know where to look."

👩 Alongside her extraordinary knowledge, Sarah brings warmth, humour and genuine care to every journey. For guests travelling on our Egypt, Morocco and Nile Cruise tour, she offers a rare opportunity to experience Egypt through the eyes of someone whose passion for the country has lasted a lifetime.

📜Egypt is so much more than pharaohs and pyramids; with Sarah, you'll discover why.
