The tour company never showed up to pick us up. We had to pay someone from hotel to take us and pay them. Waiting for a credit or I will have to do a chargeback on my credit card. Two days in a row no one showed up for 2 different tours.
Mimmo was the ideal guide. He took time at the start of the tour to ask us about our expectations and what we hoped to see. He then focused the tour based on that. Could not have asked for more.
Excursion excelente, el guia Sabry conoce mucho de la historia de los sitios visitados, explica todo muy bien, no tiene prisa, ayuda a sacar las mejores fotos. Al final me llevo a un restaurante típico muy bueno donde comimos kuxari una comida típica riquisima. Merece destaque super positivo su conductor Waleed que ademas de tambien ser super simpático,como Sabry, conduce muy bien y es muy cuidadoso en el dificil y caotico trafego de Cairo. Una lástima no tener mas excursiones con ellos. Felicito a la agencia por mandarmelos. Fue un dia muy lindo,mi primer dia en Cairo
