Mohammad and Mahmoud took me on a tour of the Pyramids at Giza and the Old City. Overall, the process was smooth and enjoyable. I had the chance to see the Great Pyramid, the Solar Boat, Khafre’s Pyramid, and the Sphinx, along with as many photos as I liked. We then headed to Old Cairo for a tour of the Christian churches and the Cairo Synagogue. The tour was relaxed, customized to my desires and my pace, and smooth when it came to our driver Mahmoud always being ready. Mohammad is friendly and calm and did his best to answer my questions. If you are looking for a relaxed and enjoyable tour, this is the one. If you are looking for a very in-depth, exhaustive study on the history of the Pyramids and ancient Egypt overall, it might be best to look for another group. That much being said, would absolutely go again.
