Amazing esperienze! We booked 2 tours in One day. Both with car, not a bus 1) Pyramids, Saqqara, Memphis + visit of the papyrus And oil factory. Our guide Sara was very kind, professional and took wonderful photos for us! 2) Dinner Cruise on the Nil river, with music, dances.. really nice!
We were in Cairo for a few days attended by Ahmed or one of his collaborators, in transfers to the airport and in an extensive tour of Giza. The service was excellent; We point out the willingness to attend, the respect for schedules, the rhythm of movements, the good condition of the vehicles, the ability of the drivers to handle difficult traffic in the city and the good attitude to overcome the differences of language. On future visits, we would not hesitate to contact them for other movements, having learned about the quality of the service that allowed us to move with absolute cordiality and confidence
