TESTIMONIALS
Since 1996 the Museum of science has offered six trips to Egypt through Journeys of the Mind, every trip was successful from the point of view of both travelers and museum hosts. Temma Ecker knows Egypt and knows how to access the vast resources of the country-ranging from guides and guest lectures, and hotels to special events. -Brent Jackson, Manager, Enrichment programs 2004
Journey's work in Egypt is unique and unmatched in purpose and in quality. Their programs are designed to provide an in-depth focus of Egypt's rich history.-Dr. Harry Miller, Dean, American University in Cairo 2005
Temma's attention to detail and willingness to consider unique itineraries, including off-the-beaten-track archaeological and historical sites of interest to our groups, have led to the creation of magical trips of a lifetime. Partnering with Dr. Chahinda Karim makes our tours with Journeys winners. -Sue Laden, Publisher-Biblical Archaeology Society 2006
My trip to Egypt was an event in my life that keeps on giving!!! -TP-SCA
My thanks to Temma who shared with me the marvels of Egypt - both from her perception of Egypt, and its fascinating history. Either one without the other would have been a lesser experience! The team working with her, expands her goals to make it a mind altering experience! My concepts, and understanding have shifted irreversibly. I now understand the advantage and ease of having a trip all organized - with the focus on depth and learning which are Temma's priorities. -NL-Chicago
Dr. Karim is gifted in her knowledge and ability to blend the latest archeological theories with the spirit of ancient Egypt. She makes ancient Egypt come alive as she connects its'stories and traditions to our daily lives and all varieties of religious beliefs. She is uniquely educated and experienced to meet the intellectual demands of the discerning traveler. Few travelers have the time to spend at one site capturing the essence and spirit of its creators. -SC-VA
May you continue enriching others lives through travel. -KB-Elmhurst, II
Every detail was perfectly planned and yet there were so many delightful surprises, one of which was seeing Seti I. -NJ-DC
"Eloquent Egypt" with Journeys of the Mind was my "Incredible Journey". I'm grateful to you and Chahinda for all your careful attention to detail so that I was mentally and physically free to experience the awesome power of Egypt, past and present.
Out trip to Egypt with you, has been invaluable background for the world we live in today. Chahinda's lectures, seeing the street life in Cairo and small towns, hearing the muzzeins call - all brought perspective that helps understand world events. -CB-Boston
I can only offer my greatest praise and appreciation to Temma for her eye for detail. She assured we had the best amongst crowds of tourists. -SC-CT
The trip itself was not designed to keep us insulated. We were traveling in a real country with its own challenges and we heard lectures and saw sights to help put things in context. -FE-VA
