Giza pyramid, Our tour guide is one in many, he made it very interesting and was very patient, his level of experience and knowledge is the best.
Sammeh and Amir are the dream team. Sammeh gave us the smoothest ride and always kept his car in tip top shape. He always had a smile on his face and took care of us with such kindness and care. Amir was a fantastic guide. He knew an immense amount of history and kept us informed all day. He knew the the best places to take pictures, how to get the best deals and bargain with the locals, the best local food spots, and so much more. He also took care of us with such kindness and care and made sure we were taken care of. You’d be very lucky to have an experience with Sammeh and/or Amir. Thank you for everything!
