All right, lovely Mai, accompanied us throughout the day, explaining and ending the visits with a meal.
I booked this tour based on my own interests and positive reviews. The meeting time was set for 9:30 am at my hotel, so I waited in the lobby starting around 9:00 am. However, no one showed up the entire morning. I sent multiple messages to the local operator but received no response until after 1:00 pm, when I was told I would receive a refund. I had only one day in Cairo and wasted precious time waiting for a no-show tour. I was very disappointed. I have used Viator before and had a great experience. I hope Viator can improve and provide better service in the future.
