Knowledgeable, personable and helpful! - Our guide was Ahmed Abu Emirah and he was very personable as well as knowledgeable. He was very helpful and made sure to answer any questions that we may have had along the way. He took the time to explain things in great detail for my daughter and I who were first time visitors to Egypt. He had a way of making this historical tour educational and fun, without being boring. He also asked if there was anything else we’d like to see or do, while in the area. We didn’t feel rushed or stuck to a rigid timeline. Ahmed was hands down the best guide that I have had. You know you have an awesome tour guide when past customers stop him just to say hello and thank him for the great time that they had with him. This speaks to Ahmed’s courteousness, knowledge and professionalism. Great guy, awesome guide.
