Wonderful Customized Tour of Cairo - We had an excellent guide (Robert) and driver to see the sights of Cairo. We had worked with Your Egypt Tours in advance to customize the itinerary to our liking (added Museum of Civilization and extended duration of tour). Robert was very knowledgable about everything we asked. He paced the activities extremely well to ensure we saw everything we wanted; he was flexible if we wanted a little more or less time. Despite the chaotic traffic of Cairo, we never felt unsafe.
