A great day out & the guide was very knowlegable & helpful. Don't really need to say anything else as have to use a minimum of 100 words
The visit to the pyramids is wonderful, very few tourists compared to Giza. Our guide Karim has been very attentive, he has adapted to the needs of our group and has given us explanations in perfect Spanish, in addition to taking very cool photos of us! The driver was also super friendly and the vehicle was comfortable with good A/C. Highly recommended.
This was a great experience. Pickup was on time with no issues and communication was clear through the day. The driver was skilled and the guide went above and beyond with his knowledge of ancient Egypt as well as discussion of life in contemporary Egypt. We stopped at a carpet school in addition to the scheduled itinerary, but they weren’t pushy and I bought something because it was a good deal. Guide was very responsive to my desires about going inside pyramids, etc. This was a highlight of my visit to Egypt. Highly recommend.
Very good service and explanations
The tour was fantastic since the places are just amazing! My guide was Entesar and she was super knowledgeable and available to answer and clarify anything I asked. The drive from and back the hotel was very pleasant and we stopped at a nice restaurant for a typical Egyptian meal. Highly recommended.
A wonderful experience with this company! Our guide, Mahmoud Soliman, exceeded all expectations; he is a highly experienced and knowledgeable young man. It is clear that he loves his job and is eager to share his expertise—he even deciphered the hieroglyphs and wall carvings in the pyramids for us. I enjoyed this tour even more than the Giza Pyramids; it offered a glimpse into truly ancient history. We went inside two pyramids, and Mahmoud showed and explained everything in detail, never rushing us or hurrying the pace. The car was very comfortable, and our driver drove very carefully—a real rarity in Cairo. Lunch was a feast; the food was delicious, and we ate our fill. Many thanks to the team for the service—10 out of 10!
Everything perfect, at the agreed time they were already at the hotel waiting for us, the visits were very pleasant and our guide Hereda was fantastic, he explained everything great to us, we would repeat without a doubt.
I had the best time experiencing the culture of Egypt with our guide Sayed Mahmoud, learned so much and would definitely book again with him. Mohamed Emod was our driver, was awesome, he was funny and engaging!
Sayed Mahoud was a lot of fun and engaging. Overall great experience of Egypt and their culture. Mohamed Emad Was a great driver and very friendly.
