We had a very good trip with our guide. The guide gave us good information before we went to the pyramids and also helped us throughout by taking us to the right places, asked the right ppl to take pics or do the camel ride etc. At the end also took us to a food place that matched what we wanted. He also helped us get to the airport on time with the driver. The driver was very polite and professional as well and we are very happy with the whole trip.
