    As someone who dreamed of going to Egypt ever since I was little this was more than I expected. It was such an amazing experience! If you do have a tour guide and get Ahmed Hassan you are in great hands! He is so knowledgeable, we asked the smallest of questions and he answered everything perfectly.

    Please ask for Ahmed Hassan, we had the time of our lives. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered questions at times outside of topics. Rate him to anybody very highly because he truly made the experience unforgettable for all of us.

    The price of the cruise and the amount of dedication put into the tours is amazing and worth every penny. Our guide, Ahmed Hassan, was the best guide we’ve ever had and explained every symbol and drawing in incredible detail throughout the trip.
