“Ms. Engy, professional and friendly, made every stop a true discovery. The Library of Alexandria is fascinating, while the Citadel and catacombs, explored with care and passion, enriched the experience. The necropolis of Kom el-Shoqafa was a real gem. The seaside break with fresh fish capped off an intense but well-balanced day. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore Alexandria with curiosity and heart. Thank you, Engy!”

“The 5-day Cruise Tour was great and very well organized by the local tour company, Nice Tours. Egypt is a truly amazing country with warm people. The cruise ship was very comfortable and the cabins were sufficiently spacious and very well maintained. The food on the ship was good and catered to all tastes - there were also some song and dance events also organized in the evening. The beverages were plentiful and not too expensive too. The visits were well organized, and the crew was very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. There was a small plumbing incident on the first night, but they fixed it in no time. Special thanks…”
