Important sites in a day

Mohammad our tour guide was excellent. He was very pleasant and took good care of my friend and I ensuring we got the best pictures we could possibly get. He also took the pictures from the perfect angles to get the funny shots against the visuals of the Pyramids and Sphinx. He gave us a lot of informative information too. Highly recommend this tour!

Perfect getaway, no hooks!

Perfect getaway: The driver waited outside the terminal (sign with my name in hand) and then safely took me through Cairo's turbulent traffic to the pyramids. Ca. 1 hour driving time. Mahammed is a great driver! On the spot, I bought tickets for him and me. That must be because the terrain is very large and he drove me everywhere by car. The tickets cost about 14,- EUR for both of us. After about 2-3 hours on site it then went back again. No further charge, no intrusive question about tips. I gave him something for the really good service of course ☺️

Great day filled with history and magic

What a great tour this was! We flew in from Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo in the morning and returned in the evening. The day was filled with incredible history with a knowledgable and engaging guide that knew all of the very best spots for photos and seemed to be connected to everyone. Our guide Aladin made sure that our day was special and customized our activities and timing to make sure we were able to fully enjoy the day…and we did!! 5 out of 5. Highly recommend.

Brilliant day

We have had a fantastic day today with our guide Sayed Mahmoud and driver Muhammad. We went as a family of 4 with an 8 year old and 7 year old and are so glad we booked because, we felt completely safe in crazy Giza. They looked after us for a full day and kept the children entertained. The children said it was 10/10. Sayed was very knowledgable about all things Egypt. I really don’t think that we would have enjoyed the museum the same without him. Fantastic
