Very good

Trip was worth it. Very beautiful place to visit. Smooth ride - just lots of mosquitoes as it's early in the morning. Guide and driver are very good, on time, helpful and knowledgeable.

The best option

The organization was excellent. Hazem Sayed was attentive to everything from beginning to end and was very kind — so much so that I booked another tour with them. We had Ahmed Achraf as our guide, and he explained all the history in great detail and was attentive to our questions. I 100% recommend them.

Smooth running

Lots of road for about 2 hours on site, but not too much choice considering the distance! pick-up and drop-off service at the hotel impeccable! Experienced driver and good considering the traffic... competitive rate!

It's been a good trip.

Andrew sent was our guide I made a last minute reservation, but they were very courteous. The pick-up point arrival time was accurate and comfortable along the way. I recommend it to others.
