Samar was amazing, best guide ever.

Today we did coptic and islamic Cairo which was awesome. The history and the architecture was stunning. Lots of refreshments along they way as the temperature soured. In the Morning we did the coptic Cairo, Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the hanging church, and the old jewish synagogue – Ben Ezra Synagogue. Later we went to the Islamic Cairo, the citadel and 2 more mosques. After the tour we went for a late lunch at a local restaurant. Food was delicious. Later we went shopping in the bazaar where I could pick up gifts for people at home. I was taken back to my apartment end of day. The day was amazing.

Assam was a wonderful...

<p>Assam was a wonderful, knowledgeable, kind young man. At the time I did feel like I was at school and there was going to be a test at the end of the day, but I learnt a lot. </p> <p>Again the day started really early, would have preferred a later start. Not that impressed by the restaurant we ate at, would have been nicer to go somewhere with the locals. Food pretty average.</p>
