Good but on the cruise the driver needs to give the couple more space

The tour guide was excellent and his English was very good. He was much better than the last tour guide. He knew a lot about history and went out of his way to bring us to the market bazaar. I liked his attitude and his behaviour was a lot better than the last tour guide

Very good alternative. I had a spectacular guide, who enriched me with many interesting facts about ancient Cairo; and he accompanied me on the cruise on the Nile, making a very entertaining tour with a fairly pleasant meal.
