Disappointing!

Shame from start to finish! Pick-up time: 3:00, bus arrives at 3:50! When we arrived, we absolutely did not get the promised drink. Visits were sometimes too quick. We made our meal stop at 4pm. We were in a hurry+++, leaving the bus 16h10!!! The felucca ride on the Nile has disappeared from the program...! Very disappointing despite a rather friendly guide!

Great day but could do with better communication prior to trip

Overall a wonderful day. Our guide Ahmed Bahaa was lovely, really friendly and so knowledgeable. Was able to explain everything and answered all our questions. From the trips point of view,prior to trip the communication was poor leading to the wrong meeting time being given to us but other than that a good day with lots of nice touches.
