Weekend Trip to Cairo!
We have just returned from a "weekend" trip to Cairo and it was amazing! We booked our two day tours through TSC Travel and they arranged everything from top to bottom.
We were met at the airport in Cairo by our assistant - Essam and Mohamed our flight was delayed a few hours and they were there with smiles and warm Egyptian welcomes. Along the way to the hotel, though late at night both gentlemen gave us tour along the way, pointing out the different interest points along the way.
We added a Pyramid Light and Sound show to our itinerary for the next evening, so glad we did, it was very interesting. The next morning off to the Pyramids where we met up with Suzan! What a wonderful, informative and special person. We learned so much from her talks and she knows everyone! Our second day was spent at the Museum and different areas of Cairo.
We had a wonderful trip thanks to the help of Ms. Melek from the Istanbul office and Essam, Mohamed and of course Suzan. Mr. Kutlu of TSC and his staff and associates all over do a fantastic job!
100% Worked-out fine!
Recently TSC booked a trip for me and my wife to Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. Nothing, absolutely nothing went wrong or disconnected from the program. We had a wonderful time and recommend them. By the way, even though Egypt is going through some rough times, not in a second we felt or passed through anything that could be considered risky.
