    We are world travelers and this was our first organized tour and it was wonderful. Our tour guide, Mostafa Farid (MO) was the most knowledgeable tour guide that we have ever had, as well as a friendly and patient man. The schedule was action packed and we learned more and saw more than we could have ever done on our own. We have already booked a return trip and we will look to TravelTalk for our next adventure. The food was plentiful with lots of variety, but it was mostly "buffet style" large group fare so it was good, but not great.

    Mostafa was an excellent guide who was friendly and very knowledgeable. At no point on the tour did I feel unsafe. I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to visit Egypt but was feeling unsure about it.
