The guide was so knowledgable about Egyptian history and managed the timing of activities and the schedule very well. During the friendly conversation we learned a lot! The camel ride was a fun bonus and well supervised. The trip inside the pyramids was fascinating but we wouldn’t advise it for anyone with health or mobility issues. The driver was friendly and the car was comfortable and cool. The lunch was delicious!

Very well organised tour. Out guide Aly was excellent, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and was able to keep parents and children interested throughout the day. It was a long 20hrs - long drive from makadi to cairo and back - but the drivers were excellent in the crazy cairo traffic - and everything ran very smoothly. Highly recommended!!

The drive there was quite good compared to what we were expecting and the driver was very good at his job. The guide Ahmed was great and he managed to show us a lot of things even with the huge crowds. Overall a great experience with them

It was definitely worth going to Cairo! It had been a very long journey, no less than 20 hours away. Unfortunately the trip took a bit longer than indicated but I had a very nice day!

It was amazing, when you are here i shut go and you have a amazing time!!! Nice people and a beautiful view!
