Was great tour! Good to start earlier as requested due to hot day and avoiding tourist buses! Guide was knowledgeable and gave good explanation. Gave time to take photos and took photos for us. Helped us to the camel ride. We went to 9 pyramid lounge for lunch after this so we said goodbye to the guide after the camel ride

I loved the pyramids and my guide Tony. Trustworthy, kind, and knowledgeable - never offended by me interrupting and asking 100 questions! I’d love to have him as my guide again and I recommend him highly. The driver was also excellent - picking me up at the correct time and driving efficiently but with care and he was nice to be around too. Lovely guys and a perfect private tour (I was the only guest as I wanted a relaxed experience). Doing the horse carriage was a big mistake though - I regret it. I only booked that because I have a health problem that doesn’t allow me to walk much, and I didn’t know that you can have the car take you everywhere. Also, the horse «driver» was unkind to the animals and immediately started asking for money. I ended it after 10 minutes instead of an hour - as soon as I was able to. My awesome guide Tony was not happy with the horse driver and took action so that the agency will not use this guy again. Overall awesome, but avoid the horses.
