We went on this tour not knowing what to expect. We had an amazing time with our tour guide. He made sure we felt safe and steered us away from aggressive vendors. He introduced us to some Egyptian street food that was delicious. If you are going to Egypt please suggest Samir Gaber. He is the absolute best.
