It’s okay

Fjodor_D, May 2024

Yeah, it was okay. Not too bad but also not too good, to be honest. Guide was friendly but like everything in Egypt, it’s very touristic.

Best Layover EVER!

Manuel_V, May 2023

The tour was fantastic! Marsil and Ahmed were very knowledgeable and friendly. They tailored our tour based upon what we wanted to experience and they took us to try local cuisine. During most tours I have ever been on there is a salse component where you are shown local wares and the tour guides sometimes try to help with the sale, not Marsil and Ahmed. They took us where we asked them to go and got us out as soon as we wanted. The service was very professional and comfortable. Also, Marsil took many excellent pictures both posed and candid of us that we never would have gotten. I cant recommend or thank them enough for such a great day.

The team that coordinated the airport pick up, tour at the pyramids and return back to the airport were amazing. They made the day go smoothly and made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to. Highly recommend doing this tour!

We were lucky to have Abla our guidance to show us around She was very knowledgeable and professional with what she does Knows lots of history and experiences with locations to enjoy and take beautiful panoramic pictures The driver Ahmad also was a very safe driver and well behaved nice people to meet 👍🏿👍🏿
