The communication with this company is phenomenal from start to finish. We were blessed with an extremely knowledgeable and personable guide, Zenab. Being a private tour, we were able to set our own agenda and chose a day at the Pyramids, the Cairo Museum and a Felucca ride on the Nile.
At the pyamids, Zenab took lots of photos for us so we could be in them together. The camel ride was as long as we wanted and no haggling with the drivers.
After a wonderful included lunch at a nice restaurant, we had a private felucca all to ourselves and enjoyed a short sail. Our captain's English was limited but his smiles abundant and entertaining.
Working our way through the Cairo Museum, Zenab was a wealth of information on the history and culture. I had been to the museum over 30 years ago and was a bit disappointed to see the state it was in. I suspect it was because many of the pieces had already been moved to the new museum scheduled to open later this year.
Zenab gave us an option with absolutely no pressure, to visit a Papyrus exhibit and and Essential Oils shop. We opted to do it and were not impressed with our visit to the oil shop but really enjoyed the papyrus demonstration.
We had also booked this company for transportation and touring in Alexandria before boarding our cruise ship in the port. The cruise had to make a change of port to Crete which required us to cancel that part of the tour the day before. Since we needed transportation to the airport and also wanted to take in the Sound and Light Show at the pyramids, Ashraf was gracious enough to make those changes which was about the same cost as the tour booked. Like I said, their communication with us through Whatsap was immediate and never left us guessing.
Really, nothing could have been better for us than finding this company. Cairo can be very intimidating and they made everything so easy for us.
