Dimpy M.
“I have been on 4 TBA Escapes tours (SA, Morocco, Jordan & Egypt) and they have all been amazing & exceptional experiences. I love how the tours are curated and offer a good mix of history and fun! Everything is so well planned from the accommodations, restaurants and tour activities. The tour host Caity and local guides have all been amazing and I’m grateful to have formed special bonds with each of them and to call them my friends. I have met some wonderful ladies on these tours who share my passion for travel and adventure. I look forward to seeing which tours will be offered in the future by TBA and can’t wait!”

Michelle B.
“My TBA Escapes tour was absolutely amazing! From planning, packing, and preparing for Jordan TBA Escapes team was top-notch. I honestly never considered Jordan, but after looking over the adventurous itinerary I was sold. It was planned out so well to get an amazing touch of Joran. From Amman and Jerash to Wadi Mujib and floating in the Dead Sea. From Petra and Wadi Rum to snorkeling and diving in the Red Sea. And the amazing food and culture of Jordan! Meeting women who love to travel like I do and making a few lifelong friends. Truly an amazing experience that I would have never done without TBA Escapes! My family even said that they could tell I had the most amazing time by my face in all the pictures I sent to them. Words can’t express how fun and adventurous this trip was, you just have to try it for yourself! You won’t regret it!”

Sam B.
“Wow! Can’t say that enough about TBA Escapes. What an experience to spend 10 days with 11 strangers and come home with a million different memories and 11 new friendships. What made the trip even more special was I got to do it with my mom and create such memorable moments with her on the trip. Definitely a tour group for all ages! TBA Escapes hit the nail on the head every time, no detail was overlooked. Can’t wait to book another trip in the future!”

Katy W.
“I don’t have much experience traveling abroad, and TBA Escapes made the process so easy and worry-free, even for a beginner! As soon as I signed up for the trip, I started receiving communications about everything ranging from the itinerary to buying trip insurance, and the staff was super helpful and responsive. Plus, the trip itself was absolutely incredible! Our host Caity and local guides made traveling through a Middle Eastern country so easy, and the accommodations were better than I could have imagined. I loved traveling with a truly amazing group of women and can’t wait to sign up for my next TBA Escapes tour.”

Courtney S.
“TBA Escapes tours are dream vacations and I highly recommend these tours to everyone! Egypt was my second tour with TBA Escapes and I’m already booked for my third. The ancient Egyptian history and architecture had this destination on my bucket list, and TBA Escapes added luxury details, unique photo opportunities, enthusiastic guides and security escorts, seamless transportation, and well-rounded activities that made this itinerary a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And on top of all that, the opportunity to meet many remarkable women over our shared passion for travel offers you new lifelong friendships!!”

Michelle C.
“I had high hopes for my trip to Jordan with TBA Escapes, and I can honestly say the experience far exceeded my expectations. Every last detail, from arrival to departure, was arranged thoughtfully. I saw things I only dreamed about, like the Dead Sea, Petra, and Wadi Rum, and made friendships with incredible women. Our guides were absolutely lovely and made the trip that much better. Jordan was a perfect introduction to traveling in the Middle East, and I’m looking forward to booking another tour with TBA Escapes in the future!”

Amanda B.
“TBA Escapes makes your travel dreams become your reality! I have done two tours now, South Africa and Egypt, and I am still talking about them and both trips have forever changed me. I learn so much about the culture, I meet new people, and I feel cared for. I feel safe and excited! I love what is provided – the luxury accommodations and epic adventures. I’ve even gotten braver each time I join! Thank you to Caity, Nats, Sagy, and Kiki and all the rest of the team!”

Kylee N.
“I’ve never been on a group tour before (usually I like to travel solo!), so was a bit anxious about joining a group. However, this experience was incredible. I’m so happy I went, the TBA Escapes team continuously went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. I walked away from the tour with new experiences that I probably wouldn’t have experienced on my own. I’m so grateful for TBA Escapes and the confidence it gave to me.”

Scotty W.
“Egypt was my second TBA Escapes tour and, like the previous one, exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was comprehensive, with every moment thoughtfully planned. Every outing, activity, and meal was perfectly curated. Not only did we get to see everything in Egypt, but did so in comfort and style! Our fantastic guide, amazing hostess, and wonderful fellow women elevated the tour above and beyond. I can’t wait for my next TBA Escapes tour!”

Raquel T.
“Epic trip of a lifetime! Thank you TBA Escapes for helping me fulfill my #1 Bucket List item, visiting Petra, Jordan. No words can even begin to describe how amazing this trip was…it exceeded all of my expectations! When I think back to the week spent with 15 amazing women exploring all corners of the beautiful country of Jordan, a permanent smile on my face forms and goosebumps begin to emerge. I can’t even begin to pick my favorite adventure…exploring Wadi Mujib, Jeeping throughout Wadi Rum, floating in the Dead Sea, hiking all over Petra, scuba diving the Red Sea…it all was incredible! Thank you to everyone who made this an epic journey I will forever cherish. Can’t wait for the next adventure!”

Rachael S.
“My first TBA trip is officially over and I’m ready for another one! TBA made everything so easy and had such great communication with our group the entire time, including the months leading up to it. Not only was the organization and detail amazing but once we arrived our host Caity was kind and warm-hearted and made you feel like you belonged instantly. The incredible group of women I traveled with made this trip even more interesting and fun. We had a lot of laughs along the way and made great memories. I felt safe and taken care of the entire time. Sagy, our Egyptian guide, was another ray of sunshine and made the massive history seem very understandable. We had a lot to see in a short time and these two women kept us energized and excited. The accommodations were beautiful and food was amazing. Who knew I’d have some of the best sushi in Egypt?! Highly recommend TBA!!!”

Arianna B.
“This tour to Jordan with TBA Escapes was truly a unique, luxury experience. The food, the views, the hosts; everything was beyond my highest expectations. This is not just package tourism. It’s the perfect mix of sightseeing with a local touch. I never imagined myself traveling in the Middle East, but thanks to TBA Escapes my dreams became an amazing reality!”

Abby R.
“Seeing Egypt with TBA Escapes was absolutely incredible. This is a country that seems impossible to visit without a tour and guide. TBA provided an itinerary that allowed us to see so much, VIP service, and a guide that expertly explained this vast period of history, which allowed us to appreciate the sites we saw so much more! All accommodations were incredible, as was the food. I can’t imagine a more perfect way to visit this incredible country!”

Persa K.
“I’ve been wanting to try a TBA tour for years. When Jordan was posted, I had to jump on the opportunity. The fact that Kiersten was also part of the tour, made it that must more special. I left with the biggest smile on my face. Everything we saw and did was outstanding. The hosts took care of all the details (even checking us in and out of hotels!) and it was nice to not have to worry about anything. I had such a great time and I will be forever recommending it to others!”

Lindy S.
“Just finished my first TBA trip and I’m already counting down to the next one! I couldn’t have asked for a better way to see Egypt. Everything from the sites, to the food, to the local guide were outstanding! If you’re considering signing up for a trip, you have to go!”

Candice H.
“My trip to Egypt with TBA Escapes far exceeded all expectations. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime and I’m beyond happy with the experience! Everything was perfectly planned and coordinated. I’m actually so spoiled now because of how well TBA managed all the logistics and activities. They took care of everything! I don’t know how I will ever do a trip without TBA. Our guide Caity was incredible too! She was so fun and managed the trip beautifully!
I had dreamed about going to Egypt for years but thought it may never be a possibility. When I saw that TBA was going, I jumped on the opportunity… a little unsure about what I had just signed up for (to be honest). But I’m so happy I did it! Not only did I get to go to a dream destination but I got to do it with a great group of women who are now friends for life! I can’t say enough good things about TBA. Do it! Take the trip!”

Elizabeth S.
“I don’t typically book tours, preferring to have more of a local, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants experience when I travel, but Egypt has always been on my bucket list and having never been to the Middle East, I wasn’t comfortable just winging it. Enter TBA Escapes. The Nefertiti to the Nile tour was the perfect way to experience Egypt. Between our host, Egyptologist, and ground team, everything was executed seamlessly and I didn’t need to worry at all about logistics–which is helpful when your Arabic is limited to “hello, please, & thank you.” The tour was the perfect blend of history, culture, adventure, and relaxation. Beyond the beautiful temples, luxury accommodations, and adventures, TBA also provided an amazing opportunity to connect with like-minded women and build lasting friendships. Trip of a lifetime–can’t recommend TBA Escapes enough!”

Julia L.
“This is the second trip I did with TBA and it did not disappoint. I loved the whole trip. The organization was flawless for this trip from the start with the pick up from the airport and drop off at the airport and everything in between. Thank you. Shaimaa was an exceptional guide. She is not only an amazing woman, but also has an immense knowledge of Egypt.”
