Very pleased! - I feel like there’s magic hidden all over Egypt and my tour guides really made me feel like I had the insider scoop on all the locations we visited. They were very knowledgeable and quick to answer all of the questions I had, on top of filling me in on tidbits about the places we passed by that weren’t on the tour. My tour guides were super friendly and very willing to take pictures of me (which is a huge plus for a solo traveler!). I didn’t plan a strict itinerary but the company was very accommodating with my last minute changes and add ons. I ended up touring with them for 5 days instead of the 3 I had originally planned. I’m overall very pleased with the services provided and strongly recommend them!

Tour operator did not show up - Tour operator did not show up to pick me up from my hotel for this tour. I contacted the operator several times while waiting for them and have still not received a response. Extremely disappointed with this experience and the total lack of communication.
