Wonderful Day wonderful experience
What a wonderful day our tour guide Mustaffa Gamil was lovely with such a large knowledge of not only the listed destinations but willing to share on life in Egypt as well. The driver Emad handled the bustling traffic with ease and knew all the right ways to get to our destinations. Behind the scenes was Miriam making the day run smoothly for all we cannot recommend too highly

Top notch and worth the money!!
What an experience bolstered by an awesome team!
Our driver was top notch and made of feel safe getting from place to place. He even went above and beyond and helped us with the extra items not booked in our package.
Mustafa (our guide) was wonderful. He made sure we understood the history of each place we were going through and how they all linked to the broader story. He knew all the best picture stops and poses. If we ever come back to Egypt again, I will be requesting him as a guide.
Thank you Nasco Tours for a wonderful experience!!
