Great experience with Michael! Was able to accommodate our group’s accommodation needs, and offer a great experience in unideal weather. Would 10/10 recommend this excursion with Michael.
Dear Onnie, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that Michael was able to accommodate your group’s needs and provide an enjoyable experience, even in challenging weather. Your 10/10 recommendation means a lot to us, and we are delighted that you had a great time on your private tour to the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Felucca. Warm regards, Misk Tours
We had a great time. Our guide Asma was very responsive. She was at our pickup point right on time and took the time to answer questions and take us around. Our goal was to take a long layover and go around to see if we would consider a longer trip. i think we got to accomplish that. There were couple of stops which were unexpected but nonetheless we enjoyed the visit to the papyrus and aromatherapy museum. Both a tourist lure for shopping but otherwise spots likely to be missed. Haggle, Haggle, Haggle is the mantra when you shop. Don't be shy to start your bidding at less than 50% of the price offered.
Dear Rshul, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great time on the tour and that Asma made your layover both smooth and memorable with her responsiveness and knowledge. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the additional stops. While some guests enjoy these cultural visits, we completely understand your perspective and will use your comments to improve our future offerings. It’s wonderful to know that your goal for the layover was accomplished, and we truly hope to welcome you back for a longer trip to explore even more of Egypt’s treasures. Best regards, Misk Tours
Sameh is an excellent guide! He kept our tour moving along without rushing at any point, and he knows a lot of people, so we also got the best camel rides at the pyramids! He’s very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and the rest of the region as well. And at USD $65, this tour was a steal!
Fabulous tour! Gamil our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about his country and gave us good advice about when the best time to take the felucca ride was, and showed us all the best spots for photos at the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Couldn’t recommend him higher. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
