The guide sometimes talk too much but was friendly and funny, they provide us with water and snacks all day long . The stops in shops to try to sell you S**** is completly unnecessary and annoying. This is in general in Egypt but I think is because they dont understand that pestering people is NOT the way to make a sell. In general the tour was amazing and if I had to I will do it again with this company.”
