Probably the best value tour out there for young travelers. I'm glad I chose to book this tour rather than travel Egypt on my own, as I never felt unsafe on this tour and Saad was always there for advice and suggestions. I'm leaving the tour feeling like I didn't miss anything and like I certainly got my money's worth. This tour was nonstop and action-packed with little downtime, but as a budget traveler I would prefer to fit in as much as possible so that's all good with me!Show more
