Ahmed wahip from FTS is Very friendly informative and interactive.
Good value for money and comfy minibus with air con, very organised and on time - great experience and views of Cairo!
All good, even better than expected.
We were picked up from our hotel in a lovely van with two men, from Cairo the moment Sarwat joined as our guide our experience was just fantastic. He is superbly knowledgeable, personable and professional. It is clear his sense of pride on his native history. He was as helpful as possible and knew everyone everywhere, so he was able to secure our ease of access to all sights without delay or any stress and was able to steer us away from unwanted solicitation from street sellers. Our Pyramid experience was sureal, we loved it, and had a cart ride around them. Sarwat accompanied and chaperoned us on all vehicle transfers. His expertise around the museum was very impressive and made our tour so enjoyable. Our lunch meal was also lovely in a lovely restaurant. We highly recommend this tour excursion from start to end.
