We only found out about this company a week ago, but we can already leave a review for anyone still hesitating! Guys, don't be afraid to buy excursions here. The company fully earned our trust! Wishing everyone great excursions!
Yesterday my boyfriend and I went on the "Super Safari" excursion, it impressed us so much that we decided we'll always do a safari every time we come to Egypt)). They always looked out for our safety, every staff member was really attentive. We booked the excursion literally the day before the trip, and we loved that you pay on the spot rather than a deposit up front.
