5.00Wow! What a beautiful day spent with our guide Shady on a private tour. He's the best guide you can get! He is very friendly and attentive to what we want to see, he takes beautiful photos and he really knows a lot about Egypt. He can even read hieroglyphics! He also knows the tricks to not get caught in the crowd. I really recommend it!
