We booked the tour at very short notice because my booking with another provider was canceled. We booked the tour at 8pm and were picked up a few hours later. the transfer was on time, the tour guide was very nice. was a nice trip. Is highly recommended. the journey is very long (8 hours there, 6-7 hours home, but that has nothing to do with the organizer). the communication with the provider is great, unproblematic and ran smoothly.

It was a very nice ride, but I don't recommend riding a camel in the pyramids, I walked and I had a bad conscience because they don't seem to be treated well, be careful with the welfare of the animals, my love! Enjoy! Aaaahhh a strong point is the fabrics of essential oils at the end of the tour, I was addicted to the wonderful smells

The guide, Mahmoud, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He is the best guide we have had in our entire trip to Egypt. I advise you to ask for Mahmoud if you book this trip. This has been an enjoyable and educational event for our own family.

We were travelling as group of 10 and 5 of them were kids. Trip was tiring for all of us but full of amazing experiences. All the staff were very helpful and understanding. Guides were amazing and gave extra helpful information.
