I don't want to hijack this thread, but I am going to Cairo in December and would like to hire a guide for Giza. Can anyone recommend one?

Let me give you the name of an excellent guide in Cairo.

She is an American lady who has been living there for about 15 years.

She does small group tours...like 4 to 6 people.

She will send someone to meet and pick you up at the airport and then she herself will be at your hotel the morning of your tour for whatever nmber of days you book her.


Her name is Debbie Senters.

I booked her last October when I was in Egypt for 3 weeks.

Also she booked our train tickets and came with us to Alexandria and toured us around for the full day.

Okay Okay I know ...how do you get a hold of her:

This is her e-mail address:

[email protected]

Please mention that Percy( from Canada) told you to contact her and will for sure bend over backwards for you.

She told me as I left Egypt:

"Anybody that you send over just have them mention your name and I will look after them."

She just sent me an e- mail 3 weeks ago ,so we stay in touch.

Good Luck and say hello to Debbie

I sure wish I was going again.!!!

Percy
