Salam,
This company is very responsive and accommodating. From the moment we started to chat via email, to the moment we left Egypt at the airport, these fellows were very professional. The tour covered most of what we wanted to see! We customized it to our needs and added some other sites/mosques we wanted to see. The company was very flexible. Highly recommended
