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. Our guide - Ahmed zaki Our driver - mohamed mowafi

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.

Fantastic experience made all the better by our brilliant guide Osama and our driver Adel. We can't thank them enough for making our tour a wounderful day. Osama is so knowledgeable, bringing all the history alive. Osama and Adel both so nice and kind. Would very much recommend to anyone.

it was a really unique experience. Our guide Ahmed was really kind and had the needed knowlenge to fully cover a rich history like egyptian. Camel ride through the pyramids were the highlight of the trip. A unique day we ll never forget

Photographer was the best. He is truly a talent. If your in Egypt get Adham Doma
