Aladdin was professional, friendly, well-informed, and attentive to my requests. It was a pleasant and memorable experience.
Our taxi and guide picked us up from our hotel at 9.00am. Our guide Imaan was very kind helpful and knowledgeable. She was very young and asked us if we wanted to go to the Nile in the evening. She managed to book us a private boat the same evening at short notice for a discounted price. We wanted her at the river boat and she came at our request again. Will recommend her for 5 star service.
Great tour guide made it fun and wasn’t bothered by the vendors ! Great price too ! I would recommend.
A great day out with Ahmed and our driver. We were told great info, what to do and see and also stopped for a juice in the heat.
It was okey, I wish the guide knew more about the history. We wanted to go in to the pyramids but the guide said no. They also take you to local shop to shop that was not mentioned in the description.
Our tour guide Faduma was very informative explaining the history of Egypt and Pyramids .She was very polite and professional helpful taking family photos. The driver Faruuq was very helpful polite and safe driver. I definitely recommend this tour
What a wonderful expere really amazing. Excellent customer sererience. Tour guide and customer service:)
This tour is advertised as 4 hours long, but taking up to 6 hours in high-traffic conditions. In our case, it lasted 2.5 hours, including a visit to an extra souvenir shop. We felt the tour was poor value for money, especially since our guide was really struggling with English, and that limited how much he could share with us. While he and the driver were friendly, it felt like this tour was more of an easy-money scheme for them, than actually them being passionate about ancient Egyptian history. Bonus star for them bringing a couple of small water bottles and taking good photos.
Overall, the tour was great - we went to the Great Pyramid complex in Gizeh outside of Cairo and also to the Saqqarah oldest pyramid in the world (at an upgrade price) the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour!
Great experience, friendly staff. I have enjoyed a lot with misguided, a very professional tour guide. Highly recommended.
