My wife & I will be stopping in Alexanderia for 2 nights on a cruise. We want to go to Cairo for 1 night.
Any ideas? We saw "toursbylocals.com" on the net, but are concerned about it.
Larry & Carole
Has anyone used "toursbylocals.com"?

Hello Larry and Carole,
I do some writing for the company you're asking about. Obviously I can't give you an impartial traveler review, but I'm here to assure you we are a legitimate travel business, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. I'd suggest calling our Vancouver office (1-866-844-6783) and speaking to Paul or David if you are looking for more information about the company and/or specific guide recommendations. One of our most popular and busiest guides actually works out of Cairo; she charges very reasonable rates for private tours and may be just the person you're looking for.
I hope you have an excellent trip!

Got some ads online for this private tours booking company,good marketing with some positive reviews by themselves.Some of my friends thought it was a worldwide travel service but unfortunately it's not.They just charged 20% commission on each tour which makes the tour prices are so high and our guide told us he didn't even get paid that much.
Yes, I'm looking for a tour for this upcoming weekend in Istanbul. Doing this for a living here in Cairo, I like to experiment with other companies when I travel to learn what I'm doing well and what I can do better. I looked at ToursbyLocals there, but they are pretty expensive and I think I rejected them up front because they weren't very accommodating to doing what I wanted to do instead of just doing what they wanted me to do.
I am sure they are legit though if they offer what you want.
chuckling away here CC
I thought all guides were struggling with the drops in tourism numbers, she must be really popular! lol.
too funny Toursbylocals answering someone about opinions on toursbylocals is a new one on me
And a busy guide?? really!
