Tour in Cairo
Excellent experience both as a city to discover among museums and pyramids and in terms of tour organization. Impeccable service from ETS, a second experience without any hitches. Timings respected, guide, comfort, and professional support. The guide who personally assisted me, Rasha, was very kind, professional, and friendly; she managed to make this experience even more authentic. I recommend both the company and the tour operator.
