We had very good experience with Nile cruise, dinner was nice and our guide Ms Soaud was very helpful and cooperative. She helped and guide us to move around without any hassle. Much appreciated to Soaud for her all help.
I want to thank Alaa magdy for making my trip to Egypt unforgettable. We spent a day in the El fayoum oasis. She showed us the beauty of Egypt and I can recommend a tour with her to anyone!
Hazem is a really good guide, made the tour a really great experience. Helped us take a lot of photos. Explained the history related to the pyramids in a professional way. Would really recommend to book a tour with him. Very charming and fun guide.
