Stacy A, Feb 2018
The guide was nice but... 1. We waited at the airport for almost three hours past the pickup time. 2. Lots of stops for shopping, which we did not want to do. There are tons of Cairo layover trip options. This one was not particularly great.

I would highly recommend this tour...

I would highly recommend this tour with Ali!!!! Booking this tour as a solo traveller, what I wanted to do was the Pyramids and the Nile - this tour far exceeded my expectations!!! I feel like I did everything and more - with the added benefit of an excellent tour guide/photographer!!!
