The trip was out of this world. We were in contact with our travel adviser from the start who made sure we were well taken care of. Our tour guide "Ali Baba" Mr Aref was both conscientious and caring, making sure we were taken care of at all stages. His knowledge of Egyptian history is out of this world!!!!
Egypt tours provided the best service. Nasser saw to our every need, on time pick-ups and drop-offs from courteous and professional drivers. Our private tour guide in Cairo was Mr. Aref (also called Ali Baba). I highly recommend him to anyone planning a tour of Cairo. He was amazing, he had a very professional but friendly manner.. He is extremely knowledgeable on Egyptian history, He helped us with determining appropriate prices for souvenirs. We had a lovely lunch with delicious Egyptian cuisine. We saw the pyramids, the sphinx, rode a camel, visited papyrus factory, an essence shop that made essences used as the base for perfumes such as Dolce and Gabana, Givenchy, Calvin Klein and other famous brands. We visited the museum and saw mummies. All in all it was a great day in Cairo.
