Best Tour Company Ever!!! - My name is Hiren and i come from New Zealand. This company has been very helpful to me as soon as i arrived. On my first day i got picked up from my hotel on time i went on the 3hour quad bike ride tour around the deserts and i watched the sunset which was amazing. On my second day i did the Pyramid Giza tour during the day and the Nile River Cruise during the evening.It was honestly very awesome. The Guide spoke great english and was very knowledgable and he helped me take lots of photos. As i am a solo traveller from New Zealand this was very helpful. On my Third Day i went to the Egyptian Museum, Mohomad Ali mosque and Older Cairo. This tour i highly reccomend as a must do when in egypt. Again the tour guide spoke great english and i was very amazed at how well he answered all my questions at the museum. Seeing the tombs and mummies was priceless. On my 4th day i went to Sakkara, Memphis and Pyramid of Dashour. This is again something i highly recommend to see. On my 5th day i met the driver outside at 7am and we went to Alexandria, i saw the library, i saw the museum and we went the citadel of Quatbay. We then had a seafood lunch which was amazing. On my last day i went to the markets with the tour guide and i bought lots of souvenirs and got lotus flowers and Egyptian perfumes. As well as going to the institute of the popirus and i also went to the khan bazaar and managed to get a good deal on silver. And Highly recommend The Travel Connection Tours Company. When i come back i will be using this company again.
