Salib was a great guide! He was very nice and incredibly informative! He was willing to give us as long of a tour we wanted, and in only two hours we were able to learn so much about Egyptian history. Salib went into great detail about the pieces and answered all of our questions.

Our family had a great 3h tour with Salib at the Egytian museum. Salib made the tour insightful and also kept our two teenage kids interested which is not an easy challenge. The contact was very easy before and during the tour, and Salib adapted the speed and amount of details perfectly to our needs. We would have loved to see the Grand Egyptian museum with him as well but he already another tour commited on the date we asked. Highly recommended!
