- NNarisaJotibanWritten on June 21, 20184.5 - ExcellentI really enjoyed this tour and it was because Sameh Makram was the tour guide. He has such rich knowledge of Egyptology and culture. His passion makes you want to learn more about it and his charisma makes the tour so much more interesting and enjoyable. Sam is also very accommodating and thoughtful. During the tour, he made sure that his tour group got to see and learn as much as possible and we were all happy with everything from the food to the itinerary. He was always there to answer questions, to help and he was very patient. The tour wouldn't have been the same without him. He's by far one of the greatest tour guides ever. I would love to go back to Egypt to do a tour with Sam again soon.Show detailed ratings
- DDushaniWritten on June 17, 20185.0 - ExcellentSameh was an incredible guide - personable, approachable, funny and knowledgeable. He was a great understanding of Egyptian history and culture and he shared it in interesting and entertaining ways, be it in enacting a play whilst at the Temple of Philae or drawing stories on the sand beside a pyramid. Sam was funny, engaging and took great care of us, even though we were a huge group. He always kept us informed and genuinely cared about us. I would love to go on another tour with Sam.Show detailed ratings

- SSbWritten on April 13, 20185.0 - ExcellentI've always wanted to visit Egypt (even before The Mummy movies). Choosing to see Egypt through Travel Talk turned out to be the best decision and if you get Sam as your tour guide, you've hit the jackpot. He has a vast amount of knowledge on the all the history and a good sense of humour too, and kept our group entertained throughout the tour as we visited all the sites. Thanks for the great tour!Show detailed ratings

- Lynette12th April 2018I haven't travelled yet but from what I've seen so far I'm extremely happy I have chosen to travel with TourRadar. From my very first enquiry I was impressed. I had been researching a number of companies to find the right tour for us but all the others took their time in replying and I had to ask a number of times for information. The team at TourRadar were always prompt with answering me and very forthcoming with information. The website was easy to use and I was very impressed that it had so much information. What information I couldn't find on the website was quickly given to me once I asked. Would I refer TourRadar to my friends.....I already have! Now I can't wait to travel
