Extremely happy
Published on Nov, 2024
Mario took us from our hotel to the museum. Very nice museum with lots of Royal mummies to admire. From queen Nefertari to Ramses II. We enjoyed it so much. Mario waited for us until we finished the visit and took us back safely to our hotel. We highly recommend Twitter egypt travel. Our experiences with them were extremely pleasant and hassle free. We will always do business with them in the future. Thank you for this delightful outing Mario. You are the best. Mary & Stephane from Canada.
