Really great tour - We were a group of 4 people. The entire experience was smooth and very well organized, the guide was very well-informed and willing to answer our questions. We saw everything that was scheduled and because we were with the guide we were not hustled by the other and felt safe during the entire visits we did. we totally recommend it and when we'll be back we'll go again with them.

By Far The Best Tour Group ~ Ever!!! - Where should I begin? Let's just start w/ my initial in encounter w/ one of the organizational leaders of Trip Advisors, known as Ibrahim. This gentleman was very friendly, knowledgeable, and insightful. We therefore established rapport ~ instantaneously. This was just the opening act however. I had no idea what was about to come... Upon my arrival to Ciaro, Egypt, I was then greeted by a man who goes by the name of Nader, along w/ his driver, Exact. When I say that these two gentlemen catered to my every need, truly mean it. They refused to let me open up my car doors, carry bags, etc. You name it. Simply put, they wanted to provide for me in a very sincere manner...Additionally, they both were extremely friendly, inspiring, & insightful. I truly felt right home with these gentlemen. Please understand: this is no exaggeration. I'm not getting paid or convinced to write any of this! I felt so at ease from the time I arrived at the airport. Moreover, the day two tour guide was just as delightful. Osama waited on me hand and foot, taking me to all the locations I requested, all while entertaining me with his insightful, knowledgeable, and wisdom. On my final day, Nader & Exact decided to meet back up w/ me for an unforgettable boat cruise, giving me the time of my life! I will forever remain indebted to these men and this organization. Thank you for everything and I will see you all soon and again and again... Sincerely, Chad
