Our driver Mohammed drove very comfortably and calmly through the tough and hectic traffic of Cairo. He was perfectly punctual and always available and ready to leave when we arrived at the car, heading for the next station. Our guide, the well-educated Sahar Elsharif, did a great job showing us around — she was really doing the tour with heart ❤️. She informed us about what to see at the next points, talked knowledgeably about the facts and interesting details, and helped us to focus on the important things while addressing questions and special interests we came with. Additionally she is personable and seems to be an interested and interesting part of society. I have never before had a tour guide with so much knowledge — even when we asked questions that were not necessarily connected to the tour. I wish to have more guides and drivers like you and wish you all the best.

Prompt pickup, polite driver and guide. Good tour, good information. We think that once we made it clear that we did not want to visit the carpet, oil or spice shops the tour added in, they should have offered the Imhotep Museum option (at our cost) in Saqqara. It seemed like early tour finish was more the priority.

Punctual driver and guide. Pyramids and history very interesting. Once we strongly advised our guide we were not interested in the carpet, oil or spice shops he wanted to take us to, he could/should have offered us the choice of paying entry and visiting the Imhotep Museum instead of finishing early so he could go home. We would have loved the option and still finished in good time.
