Hi Mohamad
I am pleased to tell you that I really appreciate the very effective treatment you gave me, and for doing a vgreat job in assisting me toward the day that we held each others arms. I really appreciate what you did.
This is a thank you note for Mohamad Sayed and your team from Cairo, Luxor, we (my-self and other six visitors) they organized a very detailed and nice tour tailored for us to see Cairo, Luxor and many nice areas
The Itinerary was perfect but the people who implemented (Mohamad Sayed and Ahmed Ramzy Hafez were even better. The manager, the representatives, the drivers and the guides were all professionals and worthy of saying thanks for a well done job.
Normally people are fond of creating complains for faults that happen to them from the tour agents but few will remember to thank who worked hard to make their vacation or trip a success.
Your agency did that to us and we are happy to have chosen your agency over others and we do highly recommend them to travelers who will thank us for that.
From Jim Do, Tina, Sam, Raul+wife and Many other travelers which I don’t have all of their name on tour bus and private car
Thank You and Best Regards
