Excellent service from Your Egypt Tour - Booked a private tour with YET with Mona via the Internet. Excellent booking process, safe payment with Credit Card and superb service on the day. Competent safe driver, knowledgeable and helpful guide Mohamed made the day trip a memorable experience. As a single woman I felt perfectly safe and all Egyptians are warm, welcoming and genuinely pleased to see tourists. Never did I feel threatened in any way, safety precautions are in place at all major attractions and Egypt is certainly a safe tourist destination once again.
