The Best Tour In Cairo with Lovely Guide!

17-Jan-2020

This our first time in Egypt and our tour was very short we explored the highlights of Cairo and unfortunately, we hadn’t enough time to have a Nile cruise. The organization of the tour was pereft and our guide Enas. She is so nice and really know what we want from the tour. As I really wish to know deeply in the history of ancient Egypt, Enas gave us an informative briefing while we were in the car before we arrived the sightseeing places. She had a wealth of knowledge about ancient Egypt and explain to us in a very easy understanding way, walking through the Egypt with her guide and explanation was so perfect, we really gain a lot in this tour. Look at Egypt Tours did a very good job for arranging our hotels and airport pick up etc thank you
