“Amazing tour guide”
Amr was an incredible guide for our 2 day tour of Cairo and the pyramids. He knew all the best spots and was a great photographer taking all our group photos. He was incredibly patient with how slow we were moving with 2 toddlers and helped us create a great itinerary for all of us in our limited time in Egypt. Would highly recommend!
