Your company asks me to to come 15.minutes before departure. Your driver comes 15 minutes late. Telling me all kind of excuses and lies. I wander if your driver is like this, maybe your company has the same qualities.

90 mins late! 90 mins of heat and constantly being approached at Cairo airport by other taxis. We have used 12 go Asia before which was excellent. I wouldn't use again if they direct you to Pharos tours. For our return journey we used uber comfort which was on time and 25% cheaper even after I tipped generously. So overall it's pot luck depends who they pass your journey onto.

I paid 176 Euro with you for 2 tickets instead of 103 dollar if I had bought directly and easily at the ticketing office.. That’s nearly double and I had to wait 2 hours and go through hassle to get to meet your agent to get the tickets. What a hassle and for too expensive!!
