    A life changing tour! It was packed and non-stop but absolutely worth it. From being met at the airports, being taken around by my private guide, the boat and all transfers were done smoothly and effortlessly. Heba Haggag from Nile Tour company was a dream to deal with. No question was to difficult and she sent all the information, tips and changes through in record time. My private guide Mohamed El Khady was one of the best people I've ever met. He was engaging, filled with information and was a perfect host to show me Egypt. I will definitely be back to Egypt!
