Brilliant trip, absolutely loved every minute of it. My guide Miriam was wonderful and ensured that everything went smoothly. She was amazing.
Great experience from start to finish. Very informative and moved at the right pace. Optional shopping trips at the end were interesting and educational, with no pressure to buy. Very happy to recommend.
The tour was really informative and fun. Would highly recommend it if you're looking to visit the pyramids. Our tour guide Mohamed made it smooth and hassle free. It was a memorable experience!
I really enjoyed the whole tour. Ahmed really knows the history, and the places. He'll offer you to visit other places near the area as well. Mohammed is a good driver, far way better than the uber drivers. A cold water is provided. Local meal is provided also. Don't worry if you are traveling solo. These two will make you feel comfortable. Ill most like request these two next time.
