so happy

I only had one day to spare for touring so l called and was able to book a private tour within 24 hours. The payment process was very smooth with detailed information regarding my personal tour. The morning of my tour, I was greeted at my hotel by Eriny and we were off to the tour. Eriny was very professional and knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained each site and gave me plenty of time to take photos. She knew the perfect photo locations as well. She was a great representative of the company and if I'm ever in Egypt again, I will be sure to request her as my tour guide. The booking and confirmation process was very smooth.
