Phenomenal experience with Mona

The trip was wonderful, our guide Mona was extremely passionate and knowledgeable. We did a similar tour a few years ago and it cannot be compared how much better it was this time!! The pickup, the careful questions and the lunch was all part of our enhanced Cairo experience. We are very very satisfied and suggest everyone book this tour instead of the other ones as it makes a huge difference! Thank you!!!!!!!

We have had a wonderful...

We have had a wonderful day with several amazing stops. At every stop, very nice family pictures were taken, and the guide made sure we were or the first at a site or that we did not have any interruptions from other groups. Due to the morning fog, the guide changed schedule to make sure we had amazing views of the big pyramids in the afternoon when weather was clear.

Disappointing

The person on the phone lied to us that pyramids open at 8 am. We had to insist on 6 am pick up. Were there at 7 am and had a wonderful visit. But it would have been bad if we had listened to the person on the WhatsApp line. The trip to saggara was short... and the side-trip to a perfume "factory" and a spice shop was pointless.

Pyramids, old and new, in a day

We covered a lot but the pace was fine and the guide painted a clear picture of the timeline and who built what when. Flexible to my request for a Camel 🐪 ride, (my guide negotiated a great price), and encouraged me to squeeze into the tight inner pyramid corridors. I'm so glad he did. Brilliant day!
