Warm and selfless hospitality - They went over and beyond to make my experience a beautiful one. They treated me more like a member of the family paying them a visit.
The hotel they helped book was amazing and at a reasonable rate.

Égypte tour Nov25 - It was great time and well organized. Pyramid, new Museum, old Cairo, Alexandria, Assouan, Luxor and finally Hurghada what a tour ! I really appreciate to be able to communicate through WhatsApp for last minute update and to organized extra activities.
All guides were really good but I would emphasize the one during old Cairo visit (before to leave Cairo) was the best one

Adel! Best tour guide in Cairo! Honest and patient - Adel was my driver and he was absolutely amazing! I am a woman from America and was solo traveling for the day in Cairo. Adel was professional, patient, courteous, and knowledgeable. He took me to the best destinations, made excellent recommendations, and negotiated good prices for me. I trusted Adel, he treated me like family and made a difference in my day. Highly recommend Adel. Good honest person in Cairo.
