I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
