Amazing tour! I looked into so many tour options and this is the most complete tour if you want to see all the main Pyramids. Our tour leader was next level. Very knowledgable and patient with great attitude.
What a wonderful tour in Cairo. It was everything we expected to see when traveling to Egypt! The support and planning prior to arriving in Cairo was excellent! Our tour guide Zina was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and worked with us to see what was important to us. She advised to go early and we beat the crowds. She even helped by taking photos of our family! Highly recommend this tour company to help plan your overall visit and ask for Zina as your guide! You won’t be disappointed! We had a great trip to Cairo.
