The Egypt Eye Tour was truly life changing. There was non stop sight seeing of jaw dropping scenery and ancient history. I was overwhelmed with pure beauty and culture from start to finish. Not to mention the food. It was some of the most amazing food in the most epic locations. Like lunch with a clear view of the sphinx and Pyramids of Giza. And evening dinners on the felucca, while cruising the River Nile, during the sunset. I was blown away!Even with all this, I really could not imagine this tour without Sam. Sam is everything you want in a tour guide and so much more! He is a standup guy who truly has your best interests during the tour. Sam was extremely informative and passionate, passing down as much information as possible. He knows the ins and outs, making sure you get the best deal, wheather it’s shopping or adding activities to your schedule. Sam’s caring hospitality truly warmed my heart and it made this trip an experience of a lifetime.
