Lucinda - Egypt layover tour

Judy_W, Oct 2022

Wow, what a tour. From my pick-up at the airport I was treated like royalty. My driver Ashraf was just amazing, shoo he made sure that I had water and not just water it needed to be cold and opened the door for me at every stop, I felt so embarrassed but soon realised what a gentleman he was and just wanted to do it. Then there was my guide, Assam you are just so knowledgeable in the history of Egypt. I learned so much, you took the time to educate me but also patient knowing that I was tired. You ensured that we got to all the places but most importantly you have a terrific photographer, you captured the moments for me perfectly and for that I am eternally grateful. The two of you Ashraf and Assam please never change, this tour was everything I had hoped for and so much more because of you. I felt safe, traffic in Egypt is horrific but that hooter worked perfectly. I will strongly recommend this tour if you have a long layover in Egypt, you get to see and experience so many things and the tour operator is simply awesome.
