We really wanted at least a glimpse inside the new Grand Egyptian Museum and had thought we had missed the chance when our arrival in Cairo was delayed because of a flight cancellation. Egypt Tour Guide were prepared to be flexible and reorganize it when we were available. The whole tour was excellent and everyone involved was great. Khaled was easy to work with right from the beginning even before we left Australian and happy to postpone the tour. Khaled was very pleasant and friendly. He was an excellent guide and made the visit to the GEM informative and fun. Finally, we were driven from the hotel and back safely and well by the driver. The museum will be amazing when it finally opens and we are very happy that we managed as much as we did. We would totally recommend Egypt Tour Guide and Khaled the Great.
