Great and Safe! - I wanted to wait a few months before writing this review to reflect on my overall feelings about this trip! And overall, it was a really great experience. The guides that we had in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan were super well known in the area, locals amongst the people, and incredibly nice. As we were two young females traveling together, we both felt very safe which I know is an important thing for American travelers. Never once did I not feel safe when with them, which is a huge plus for this specific tour. You always have a guide plus a driver with you anywhere you go until you get inside your hotel. They were all locals of each city and were pretty well versed in the ancient ruins of the area. Having said that, Khalifa in Cairo was definitely our favorite! He is an incredible photographer and took spectacular pictures for us at the pyramids. He was so sweet, as was Emad in Luxor. None of them smoked as well which is a huge plus! The biggest downside though was payment. If they had been more transparent about it before we left the US, it wouldn’t have been a problem. We opted to pay the second half of our trip in US cash when we got there. When we did, they said the bills were “too old” as the Egyptian government only accepts bills after the year 2000 or maybe even 2010. It became a big problem at the end and we had to do an emergency wire transfer at 9:30pm at night on the side of the road and it was very stressful. Again, could have not been a problem but I wish there was more transparency about it. Recommendation if you do go to Egypt - they want USD not Egyptian pounds! Still a 5 star trip for the stuff we got to see, the safety, and those two guides. Would definitely do it again!

Fascinating land of the pharoahs - From the moment we touched down at Alexandria Airport, our guide Tarek was there to receive us and took us throughout our 3 day Alexandria/Cairo tour. What else can I say about Egypt that everyone else has said except that it was the best trip ever to just be immersed in the so rich culture. Everything was so rich and deep. The people especially, the smells, sounds, the mesmerizing sites. All so stimulating. I can never top this trip if it hadn’t been for our guide Tarek and Cairo Private Tours. Everything was so moving for me. Thank u Tarek for showing us your fascinating country.
