Summary: Maii is PHENOMENAL! My mom and I went to Egypt for her birthday. We wanted to shop at the market, and didn't know if that was part of the tour but Maii was flexible and customized the tour to what we wanted to do. We had a blast. I honestly wished I knew she did multi day tours I would have booked her for the entire week! (She does offer these by the way.) We loved our Henna, and the tea place was cool (this is not included in the tour- so be prepared to pay for it.) We had a blast. Definitely recommend. She was knowledgeable and helped us negotiate at all shops which made the experience so much better.

Summary: Where do I even begin?! This tour company is REMARKABLE! Maro was so patient with me as I asked a ton of questions. His knowledge gave me comfort in each decision I made for me and my family. Maii, our actual tour guide gave us beyond outstanding service. Maii’s knowledge of this country is beyond the basic “tourist” attraction. She gave exceptional explanations as a bonus, AND she negotiated each and every purchase that we made. If you’re looking for authenticity in a tour guide and want to feel welcomed from the moment you meet, Live Egypt should definitely be your choice.
