Jun 23, 2024An amazing experience in Cairo, including old coptic and Islamic Cairo, thanks to our guide Hussein! Our guide was super accommodating and flexible, and adjusted our itinerary ad hoc on couple of occasions to avoid congestion during peak times. He made the entire experience truly super enjoyable!

Jun 23, 2024Epic experience with this tour company. They took care of everything, making the trip that much more relaxing. They even dropped me off at a COVID testing site to get my test done in time for my return flight. Highly recommend them. Ali was very easy to work with and communicated everything clearly ahead of time.
