What people are saying about Cairo

Our tour guide was very nice and accommodating. He was knowledgeable about all local Egyptian foods and knew exactly where to take us. we felt safe and in good hands. There was a bit of miscommunication about the pick up time and although we where on time in the hotel lobby the driver did not know I was the client because he did not understand English and then left informing the local travel agency that we where not there. They made up for the misunderstanding by dropping us off with at our new hotel destination.

Three girls traveling alone. We booked this tour not knowing what to expect as it didn’t have many reviews. We are so glad we did! We felt safe and had an amazing time on this pub crawl. We joined a group of about 7 other travelers. The guide was fun and shared insights about Egyptian culture. Fun night out in Cairo. Definitely recommend.

Our guide Hussein/Sam was excellent, sharing local foods and as an Egyptologist he knows everything there is to know! Very kind and helpful!

The tour was very well prepare. Pick up from the hole, drive to the boat and then sailing along the river. Very nice and romantic experience

The dinner cruise was spectacular itself especially the show! Very entertaining.
