We had an absolutely wonderful day with Cairo— my knee was in a brace and I was still on one crutch from a knee injury and I was still able to participate in almost everything thanks to our guide. Every stop was incredible and there was a perfect amount of time at each one!

I took the tour recently and loved it. The guides are spectacular, you can tell they love what they do. In the group I was in, I was the only one who spoke Portuguese and they translated everything so that I could have the same experience. 5 stars is not enough to rate it.
