Good views of Pyramids - The guide was very helpful with photos and gave detailed introductions and shared stories. The driver drove safely. The tour includes souvenir shops but you don’t have to purchase anything if no interests.

Lovely day in Cairo with Anwaar! - Our first time in Cairo was made all the better by having Anwaar as our guide. She is very knowledgeable and a fantastic/enthusiastic photo taker! She’s a genuine person and it was a pleasure spending the day with her, recommend! Going to the handmade carpet weavers was an unexpected highlight of the tour, bought a beautiful piece that’ll be a lovely reminder of the trip.

Tour to the pyramids - We got picked up on time at the hotel by our lovely driver who took us to the pyramids area. Then our amazing tour guide Hader joined and explained us the history of ancient Egypt and took great pictures. She was very kind and made sure that everyone on tour was feeling well. Having her accompany us helped us to enjoy the pyramids trip in the order of how they were build. The tour was also very flexible and they could change the drop off place to Mena House were we enjoyed a drink after the delicious meal that was included in the tour. Overall we enjoyed the hassle-free trip and can recommend it to anyone who has a free day in Cairo.

The first day at Cairo - Mohamed was a geeat guide! He was very cheerful all day, so although I was in a bad condition I was able to enjoy the day! There had been some misunderstanding with the tour company, but he arranged things so I can enjoy my day! He gave me great photos and ride with the camels too. It was very nice.
