Superb day tour

We had a superb one day tour of Giza Pyramids and Sphinx followed by Grand Egyptian Museum. Our guide Minna was excellent, spoke great English and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her.

Best choice!

It’s was more than great! Pierre is a really nice young guy who is very intelligent, knows a lot about Egyptian and the mosques. He also took me to a local market and let me shop. I am super excited and would always do a solo tour with him. He gave me the feeling of security at all times, make sure I am alright and we laughed a lot. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

We were disappointed...

We were disappointed because the first mosque was unavailable for us to see and in the itinerary it says we would spend 2 hours there. The guide was nice and informative but there was a lot of time wasted going to the company owned souvenirs shops. They could have asked us what we really wanted to do with the extra time and we ended up finishing early. Some of the mosques were very nice to visit but not worth the price.
