Honest company, quick response to last minute cancellation. - We had to do a last minute cancellation due to an issue and the company worked tirelessly with us to help coordinate a cancellation even though it was outside the regular window. We really appreciated their understanding and willingness to help us navigate the cancellation process. Prior to the cancellation, Natalia, was very quick to respond to questions, make suggestions regarding what to pack and even texted to remind us to order our breakfast boxes the day of our trip. Finding a reputable company can sometimes be daunting when looking for tours but this company really stood out in how quickly they communicated and the transparency. Natalia insured we were connected to her supervisor Talaat who has helped us navigate planning tours with them out of Cairo and made sure our cancellation went seamlessly. 10/10 recommended
