This was a big anniversary trip for my wife and I. The 4 day Egypt package was the perfect fit for our African trip. I must say, we have traveled the world, and Hesham and his staff were simply FANTASTIC.
Communication - 5 star!
On time - 5 Star.
Itinerary - exactly as shown.
Safety - 5 star.
Our guide for 3 of the 4 days was Ehab. Alexandria, Cairo, Giza etc...Super knowledgeable, polite, and always ensured we had everything we needed from water, to when we wanted to eat etc....The cars were always airconditioned, and since our tour was private, we had Ehab, a driver, and the car to ourselves!
The stops at the major attractions, Ehab would take the time to explain the history, while doing a rolling walking tour. At any time if you wanted to spend more time in an area, or take more pictures, you could. We did not feel rushed at all. Ehab, also made sure if we were buying any goods, or ordering lunch that he kept the vendors on the level...there are lots of 'shopping stops' (Carpets, perfume, art, etc..etc..) After the first few stops, where the shopkeepers give you a tour, and then want you to buy their stuff....we told Ehab no more shopping stops, and they cancelled them so we could get back to going from major site to major site....we did not go to Egypt for the open markets or shops...
Honestly there was so much that went into this trip, its hard to put it all in here. Flight down to Luxor is 100% worth it, so you can see Valley of the Kings. Epic.
(Our guide in Luxor - Ramon, was not as strong as Ehab, but still overall good)
We stayed at the Mena House right beside the pyramids (highly recommended), and our tour guides were always on time to pick us up each day, communication done over Whatsapp was awesome.
I have to give a big thanks to HESHAM! As soon as I booked the trip months in advance, he was in direct communication with us, explained everything, and made sure his team covered each and every request....LOVED the trip thanks to Ehab, and the rest of the team.
