Would recommend with another tour operator

The tour is good and really interesting. Not for unfit people (if entering all pyramids). Not enjoyed it fully as the guide was not giving us a lot of info (way less than other tours), kept pushing us to do a camel ride although we said No a few times, did not take us to the mastaba tombs and not stoped at the carpet factory (although he asked us if we want to). He offered to take us back when complained about the mastaba but refused as was quite annoyed by then.

GUARANTEED SATISFACTION

I am an Egyptian living abroad. Returning to egypt for holidays after a long absence, I opted to go on an excursion with travelino. Best choice I could have made. My family and friends where blown away with both the experience, and the service. Mr Tolba and his staff are at the highest level of professionalism. They are super accommodating and courteous. As I said I lived here and thought I knew, but I’m so glad I used travelino, we were given an experience, that was both new and mind blowing to an ex-local and first time visitors. We had the excellent pleasure of having Sophia Alaadin as our guide. She possesses an unbelievable combination of knowledge, charm, sense of humour, kind, courteous and professional! I cant imagine a better guide. We were lucky to have her! Travelino is your absolute best bet for any trip/excursion. You will not be in anyway disappointed with what they have in store for you.
