This is the best option for an instruction and genuinely private tour of the Giza Pyramids. With entrance costs, pick-up and drop-off included, as well as a surprisingly tasty lunch, it offers excellent value. Muhammad, our tour guide, made sure we were comfortable and safe. He was very kind and informed. We had a fun camel ride and saw some amazing vistas of the Memphis open-air museum, the Giza pyramids, tomb complexes, and Saqqara's step pyramid. A highlight was the lunch, which included some of the greatest grilled chicken around
I had the pleasure of experiencing a trip to Egypt with Travel2egypt last week I stayed for 10 days and went on various tours and a lovely cruise. I have to say I have never experienced a trip as great and so professionally organized as this one. The guide who I first met had very positive energy and spirits. He was extremely helpful and made me feel so welcome. He was just one of many lovely guides just like him I encountered on my trip. I walked away from each experience with more insight than before. Egypt was extremely safe and people there are so friendly. The views are spectacular and I was fascinated the entire time. I will definitely be repeating this trip. Lovely stay. Thank you!
I did not expect to have such a wonderful time in Egypt the way we had. Great history and beautiful enourmous sites. The nile river cruise was charming and our guide Mr. Yasser speaks Chinese better thamn me. :) On behalf of my all family members I want to thank all of you. Li Hsing
