Wonderful trip! I got driver on the way hotel-airport and back, and in Cairo as well. Trip included piramids and Sfinx, lunch, shopping and Egyptian Museum. My guide, Anna, was sooooo nice, talkative and very, very familiar with places we visited and Egyptian history and fun facts. I wish to go for another trip with her some day! My contact with tour operator was Shaymaa and she took care about me through whatsapp all the time. I recommend the tour with whole my heart, totally worth the time and money spent. ❤️❤️❤️

Mohamed Saleh is an excellent Egyptologist guide. He shared a lot of information about the pyramids and was able to navigate the grounds efficiently. We ended up adding the Egyptian Museum and a bazaar tour same day and really appreciated his flexibility. He helped us navigate the bazaar (took us to the local section) and helped us communicate and negotiate pricing. Mohamed Saleh definitely helped in making the day memorable. I would definitely recommend this tour with Mohamed Saleh.

First, Nour the guide of the tour and Salama the driver were so kind and nice. We did almost every landmark in Cairo, from the pyramids to Egyptian museum, with short break for relax and than to an amazing sunset cruise in the Nile River. It was extremely important to Nour that I’ll be happy and did a lot of thing was extra to the first plan. I didn’t meet a guide, I earned a friend.
