Do not book with this company. They did not show up to pick us up and did not communicate at all. We tried multiple ways to reach them with no response.

Recommended! Truly amazing

Pratiksha_A, Jan 2025

I recently took a solo day trip to Cairo, focusing on the Pyramids of Giza, and it was absolutely unforgettable. My guide(Amir) was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the history and construction of the pyramids, as well as little-known facts that brought the site to life. He answered each question I asked and also helped me understand the local culture and people. He also helped me buy souvenir by taking me to a local shop. They were also flexible with the timing and were friendly. Having a photographer (George) was a game-changer. Instead of worrying about selfies or setting up a tripod, I could fully immerse myself in the moment while George captured stunning shots of me with the pyramids and the Sphinx. He knew all the best angles and even suggested creative poses that made the photos truly special. He also gave the flexibility to include the videos and photi angles I wanty. They also promised me to give photos within 24 hours which is amazing taking into consideration the time it takes to edit them. Rest the car was comfortable, food was good especially if you are vegetarian no issues the falafel was amazing and The trip feels a bit expensive but I highly recommend investing in both—it’s worth every penny! Ps: Always keep cash with you as Egypt has tipping culture.
