Very Considerate and Helpful

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.

Cairo Day Trip

Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
