Very punctual driver. The trip was quite comfortable (it's a minivan, after all) and there were plenty of breaks where you could grab a coffee and stretch your legs! Once we arrived in Cairo, we had an exceptional guide, GEM, incredible; the Papyrus Farm, a classic tourist attraction; the Valley of the Kings and the Nile cruise, a must-do!
