5.00They are very friendly!! We wanted to go 12:00 and everything was okay and no problem at all. The driver … well i hope someone will drive with him to, because Maged was the best driver. He was friendly and funny. He took us everywhere we wanted and when we had enough he was there in 1 minute. Also the company is very friendly and you can book anything you want with them. Thank you again and hopefully we meet again 🙏🏼 jules and diana

Flexible with family with small children

5.00We had a marvelous time with our guide Ehab! He was a great guide who could flex to the needs of a family with small children. He spoke great English and was east to understand. We would tell him we needed to eat lunch and he knew what to eat for that area. He had friends in all the places we went and was very kind. I will say that the person who first managed the booking (separate contact than our guide) did not speak English well, and seemed to just want to push more bookings and get a review made. I came home from my travels with many messages about leaving a review. The person (and maybe this person will change?) was not professional at all in their communication with me and seemed very pushy. But overall I would recommend Ehab for sure as your guide!
