Very nice first day in Cairo!

This was a wonderful tour and experience. Both Mamdouh Kamal and Momen made my experience in Cairo very pleasant, informed, fun and very attentive. I am happy I booked the tour with them and I highly recommend them both for your tour.

Memories of a life time thanks to Tonsi

As a group of students traveling studying abroad in the Middle East, going to Egypt seemed completely logical. But as most college students our funds were not unlimited. The tour with Tonsi was superb. Easily one of the greatest trips I've had the pleasure of doing and the ATVs!! What an experience! Once in a life time and amazing, 100% recommend.
