I used this company to book my tours for my trip to Egypt. The company provided excellent communications and clear itineraries. Our first was a two day tour of Cairo, and a two day trips from Aswan.
My friend & I have just returned from a fab week in Hurghada. We wanted to book a day trip to Luxor at £94, but ended up booking a the overnight trip to Luxor as it was only £10 more! The trip exceeded our expections because of the fascinating temples, the overnight stay on the Nile & our fabulous & very knowledgeable tour guide (Mahmoud A-B).
