Egypt

We used Rough Guides for planning and executing our trip to Egypt. To start with Youssef was our travel coordinator who was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning and also the execution stage. He helped elevate all my apprehensions, changed the plan multiple times due to certain date changes or requirements and finally thru the execution he was there virtually with us throughout the tour helping and coordinating. We had a few Tour Guides through our journey who were all amazing and very helpful. Karam was the main guide in Cairo who was very helpful, accommodating and a wealth of information. The second guide was Ahmed Amin who was with us from Aswan to Luxor, again extremely knowledgeable, helpful and a gem - he was the best tour guide we had on the trip. Marwa was our guide for a day in Alexandria and it was great to have a change with a female guide, she too was amazing and full of amazing information and anecdotes. Mahmoud was our guide into old city Cairo on our last day and was full of information especially about the Soccer and sports. We also had our "filler" guide who would pitch in for us in between for airport pickups, dinners, etc. his name was Mohab and he was just amazing. All our drivers were fantastic skillfully maneuvering the dreadful traffic in Egypt and the mountains. The hotels recommended and booked by the travel agent were also great not 5 star but clean, functional and acceptable. The trip and the activities were amazing giving us a fantastic experience of Egypt. The Pyramids being the highlight but the ages old Temples and Tombs were not far behind. And I would be remiss if I do not mention the shopping - it was FUN!

I booked through Through rough guides and they used a local Guide I dealt with a lady called Habiba who was absolutely fantastic. She responded to our texts straight away. She planned a really good Trip We spent a night in Caro at the beginning and then flew to Luxor and went down the aisle for four night five days We then went to hurgarda where we had All inclusive Hotel for three days and then we went back to Caro and had two nights since saw the Pyramids Spinks and Egyptian Museum it was a fantastic tailor-made trip. Habiba was fantastic. I was delighted and would thoroughly recommend using rough guides and Habiba.

Absolutely loved it, the service was seamless from the first pickup from the airport to the return drop-off. The local guides were excellent, knowledgeable and very accommodating to our wishes. The itinerary which Ahmed made for us was was just what we asked for and covered everything and more. I cant recommend enough and would definitely use again. What an experience thank you so much
