Don't hesitate! BOOK THIS TOUR! - An exceptional tour! From the start 5 ⭐s. Mariem contacted us. Gave us all of the details. She also communicated through to the end of the tour. David was our guide. He was full of knowledge about, not only the churches we visited, but also about the history that involved them. Our driver, Haney (I'm not sure if that is how you spell his name) navigated us through the streets of Cairo expertly. If this is an example of the tours Explore Egypt Tours provide them I will be booking with them again!!!

Amazing tour - This was an awesome experience. Mariem our travel consultant did an amazing job she was always ready to support, organize and make sure our tour is going well and smooth. The whole "Explore Egypt Tours" team did amazing job from the airport pickup till drop off. Mouhamed welcome us with a very big smile and make sure we met our lovely guide and everything is fine. Our driver Mouhamed was very polite, professional and calm we had a very smooth drive. Our guide Nansy made the experience superb. She was not only knowledgeable but very polite and friendly. She went the extra mile and took time to explain things. She gave us an amazing tour and took such good care of us while on tour. We learned a lot, asked questions and got an answer with a smile.
We highly recommend this beautiful team if you want to enjoy your tour and learn more with a positive vibe you should book this tour. Thanks alot for making our tour very special.
