We had such a great time! Our guide drove us everywhere directly from/to the hotel, and led us through the attractions making it very easy (we were told where to go to skip lines save time). The explanations were very interesting and we were suggested insider tricks to take the best pictures! I usually like organising tours on my own but this was just so easy and hassle free, I felt I saved a lot of time. Recommended!
Thanks so much and looking for serving you very soon as in Egypt again
