Ahmed was our guide for the day and was very passionate and knowledgeable about virtually everything. We arrived early in Cairo so jumped on a boat to cruise up the Nile for a bit. Then to the old museum before it opened so we were amongst the first to go in. Time flew inside and couldn't believe we spent 2 hours inside with Ahmed guiding us. You could spend all day in there given the chance. A new museum…”

There was an unplanned stop at an Alabaster store that wasn't on the itinerary, which felt out of place. We were also made to feel guilty for not wanting to make a purchase. Nonetheless our guide and driver were very friendly. The day started early with a 3:30am pick-up, everything was wrapped up by 1pm, including lunch at a restaurant. However, our flight wasn’t until 7pm, leaving us with six hours to kill. The guide told us to wait in a coffee shop, which seemed odd—I’ve never had to wait that long after a tour.…”
