Unforgettable day! - I want to share my trip experience from A to Z. Our operator, Bella, was in touch with us before the trip and offered us the option to customize it ourselves. She also gave us the freedom to arrange the places we wanted to visit. Moreover, I would like to thank our guide, Rasha, for explaining each place so clearly. Special thanks to Ayman, the driver, who took great care of my mom’s wheelchair. He volunteered to be in charge of helping her, which was sweet of him. Thanks a lot!!!

Good tour - This tour of Coptic and Islamic Cairo was absolutely amazing! Mohamed, our guide, really made the day special. He knew so much about each site and shared it all in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. We got to see beautiful mosques and churches, and it felt like we were stepping back in time. Mohamed took great care of us, and we never felt rushed.

Disgraceful treatment, multiple lies by pharaouh tours operator!! - The Tour operator tried to charge me extra for visiting a market, I had paid for, tried to leave me back to my hotel at 12.30 before visiting the market (I booked a day tour) they then said I visited a cavern church twice (once it was closed when tried to take me, surely there fault? And wouldn't count?) They actually said it did and should have charged me for taking when it was open, what i state is all truthful and factual, I tried to reason with the tour operator but she continues to lie and not answer basic questions on what they did, the tour guide also tried to lie and say the church couldn't be visited as it wasn't opened, he lied and was open when we went, he admitted he lied, I don't blame him, I play the tour guide for starting all this, if this reviewed is disputed I can easily display the full email conversation were she continues to lie and not answer questions of misinformation and lying.. I explained the driver was using google maps on his phone between his lap, as he was from Alexandria, they don't seem to want to admit this, we got lost numerous times
