21 hour layover in Cairo turned into a wonderful adventure. Our transport arrived on time at our hotel and drove us to meet our guide. We enjoyed coffee and tea at a local shop where he gave us a quick lesson on the pyramids. We spent the rest of the day walking among the pyramids, the Sphynx and a Papyrus Museum. Very enjoyable. The guide was very adaptable to letting us spend time where we wanted and was watching out for us in crowded areas. We would definitely recommend the tour, the driver and the tour guide.

Our guide was perfect, pick-up was punctual, between stops we were never waiting for the car, Mostafa was very professional and helpful, he took lots of photos for us and answered all our questions, he was very knowledgeable and really told us as much as we wanted to know, he didn't just give us a heap of information that felt like it was off a script, I have done a few guides since being on my holiday, mostly through Europe and this was one of the best, ignoring the incredible stuff we saw he was a very good guide, we took some time in a shop and he waited for us and I didnt feel rushed, we were really able to take things at our own pace which I can't say for alot of the other guides I've done. He made it very easy to add on extras as we went, honestly very impressed, extremely polite opening the car doors for us which I really did not expect and am not used to, he got water for us when we were thirsty, good sense of humour, was generally just really easy to spend the day with. 10/10
