I took 4 excursions with this company. "Mount Moses," "Colored Canyon," "Cairo by bus," "Buggy safari." Everything went at the highest level. Comfortable buses, Russian-speaking guides, real care for the client, always fast and precise in resolving whatever came up. I especially want to highlight our guide Ibrahim, who accompanied us in Cairo. I've never seen a better guide. Pure delight. With him we felt completely safe and secure. He told everything so interestingly, won us over from the first minute. Thank you so much for your work ❤

I went with my kids (4 and 6 years old) to the pyramids. Everything went great! We rode camels and a little boat, walked among the pyramids and looked at the artifacts in the museum. The food was tasty, everything was precise and on time. Special thanks to our escort and guide.
