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.
