Great company with an emphasis on personal service! - On my last day in Egypt, I had a tour of Alexandria with Michael, a guide from Capital Egypt. I wish I had met Michael at the start of the trip, as I believe I would have had a much better experience overall if I had gone with Capital Egypt. Michael was very informative and friendly, and he was also adaptable. I wished to learn more about the history of Egypt than just take selfies, so he adjusted our excursion to cover an extra museum or two. (We also took some selfies/pictures, but that's just how things are nowadays.)
I heartily recommend this company to anyone wishing to have people who are truly concerned about providing you with an enjoyable vacation.
