If we returned to Cairo tomorrow, we would happily book this tour again. It was the perfect balance of history, beauty, and comfort. Hany was amazing, and the sites were unforgettable.
Great tour, definitely worth doing it with a guide as you get to see so much more than you would on your own! Our guide Ehab has been great and he even took us to see a traditional spices and teas shop after the tour.
