Rare LewiLewi Posted June 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2006 We are thinking of taking a trip to Egypt plus Nile cruise. Can't decide whether The GCT trip is better than the OATS trip. Any opinions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdawhip Posted June 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I had the same question but I'm leaning towrards the OAT trip. I have been on both GCT and OAT trips and prefer OAT because of the fewer and more active fellow passangers. OAT costs a little more but I think it will be wortj it.

cliffdweller Posted August 12, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I asked the same question of a friend a few months ago - It is Overseas Adventure Travel. They have wonderful itineraries - very small groups (10-16) and exceptionally low rates. My friend warned me to get a bigger mailbox as they send tons of brochures out. I haven't gone on one of their trips, but tablemates from a cruise last year have and they are planning more - said it was a great experience. Their site is www.oattravel.com good luck - have fun and get that bigger mailbox!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npphotog Posted August 12, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think GCT and OAT are owned by the same people. OAT has fewer people on their tours. You have to check what is included in each tour. The idea of fewer people sounds better to me. What ever happened with GCT and the troubles they had with the Better Business Bureau? OAT send out the biggest brochures in the industry.

paul929207 Posted August 14, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2006 We picked GCT because of the Israel pre-trip extension. Forunately we went in March, before the latest round of violence started. GCT was great. We are going on two trips with OAT next year. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
