Private Tour Egypt

Ahmed Nagy and the company made our trip in Egypt unforgettable. It was a family trip for 8 of us and we were well provided for. The company arranged everything - from the cruise (Aswan-Luxor), meals, transportation, a guide (Ahmed), additional excursions (boat ride and Abu Simbel) to even shopping trips. Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about his work, and very attentive. The way Ahmed explained everything at all the sites was entertaining, engaging and really draws you into the culture and history (even my 12 year old cousin who bores easily was riled up and captivated!). I've been on other guided tours before and to be honest, didn't find them necessary -- until this trip. I know we wouldn't have learned as much or enjoyed the trip as much if we didn't have such a wonderful guide. Ahmed is the key difference that sets this company apart from the rest. It's like having a local friend bring you around versus just going off by yourself with a guidebook. Ahmed just made the experience significantly richer by offering his expertise and insight. Ahmed even helped us arrange trips in Cairo and Alexandria with another guide, Radwa, who was equally great. Ahmed and Radwa were charming, funny, smart, knowledgeable and caring. They were both also very open and helpful in customizing the trips to our needs/wants. We would definitely take another trip with Ahmed and his company and highly recommend their services! Oh and btw: despite safety warnings for Egypt, we didn't find ourselves in fear of any danger, especially within the tour group and with Ahmed/Radwa guiding us. They were aware of these concerns and put everyone at ease. Personally, I didn't feel a difference in terms of safety in Egypt or any other place I've visited (including South America, Mexico, Asia and Western Europe) or from home (NYC) - just be aware of your surroundings (like anywhere else) and you'll have an amazing time!
