Our guide Salib was very knowledgable and gave clear and interesting explanations. The ATV drive around the pyramids at the end was awesome. (in the road to the site, your drive alongside horses and camels, which is animal unfriendly) Lunch was not included, and we were guided to a certainly good, but also a bit tourist-trappy restaurant.

It's been really ok. I appreciated the guide Guda was really good in explain even what i asked and he easily understood that i wouldn't spend time on shopping and things like that. I usually book english guided tour but for the pyramids i prefered to choose italian and Guda spoke like an italian person. Thank you and good luck

We had the best time on this tour! Absolutely recommend this tour in order to see so many important and impressive Egyptian sites in a timely manner. We had limited time in and around Cairo, and this was the perfect way to see the things we wanted to see and learn so much about Egyptian history.
