Exceptional well organised tour

The tour was very well organised, we arranged everything by WhatsApp. Before the tour all the questions we had were answered in a professional and timely manner. The driver and guide made us feel comfortable and made a nice tour for us. The price of the tour is exceptional. We couldn’t ask for more. Really recommend this tour!

Good experience being extra cash!

The tour guide is great! It is a long day we left at 6:00am and didn’t arrive back at the hotel until 11pm. However seeing the pyramids and museum is very good. The flight time home could be earlier as we were done with the experience at 4pm and the flight wasn’t until 9pm so we pretty much had to pay for a boat trip or we would have nothing to do for 5 hours. Bring extra cash as they’re extra costs such as drinks, snacks, using toilets bring Egyptian money as we brought GBP and it was more awkward and we paid extra for everything. The transport is great they really look after you. Overall it was a great experience

Pyramids, sphinx and museum

the day was amazing. I loved the whole experience. the early start was hard as it made it a very long day but well worth it. the pyramids were so beautiful, words can't describe the experience. the memorabilia was stunning and great value for money. Lunch was stunning, something for everyone. the museum was very busy but worth the long day and all the walking. our guide made the whole experience worth every penny. he was very funny, welcoming and supportive throughout.
