Just got back from a 2 week honeymoon with Egypt Tours Plus/Memphis Tours to Alexandria, Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Sharm, & Mount Sinai. Overall, our experience was very pleasant! A few bumps in the road with hotel bookings and itinerary confirmations, but it was handled well by Egypt Tours staff in the moment and it all worked out. Our guides were knowledgeable and we learned a lot about ancient Egypt, Islam, and Egyptian culture.
I would like to highlight one of our guides in particular, Karim, and driver Muhammad, during our time in Cairo/Alexandria. They went above and beyond for us. They always had cold water available in the van and offered it without us asking, always asked us if the WiFi was working in the van, Muhammad was an excellent driver navigating the busy streets of Cairo and he was very professional, and Karim - he was also extremely professional (something that is extremely high on my list), never made a bad joke or sexualized me (something that happens a lot during my travels as a woman!), knowledgeable, was even going back to school to continue his education in Egyptology, he answered all of our questions and was the best tour guide. We plan to request him when we come back to Egypt with our kids.
Thank you thank you thank you!
