Our guide Essam steered us through this day tour with expertise and aplomb. We were never rushed and went at our own pace. It is truly awesome to stand beside the Great Pyramids and realise how huge they really are. We've all seen the photo's but it's only when you are standing looking up at them that you actually appreciate the scale of them. This tour is well worth the price and is a great use of your time. We saw everything we wanted to, at our own pace, without the day being dragged out. Highly recommended.
Michael our tour guide was great. Ontime hotel pickup. Great guide at all sites. Great Day !
Our tour guide Mahmoud was incredible! He was timely, knowledgeable and answered all of questions. Mahmoud negotiated our camel ride/ tip where we had heard rates can change during the ride and offered better locations for photos and souvenirs. We never felt rushed and could stop on a whim for photos or souvenirs. We'd hire him again and will recommend to our friends visiting Egypt!
