Jun 23, 2024Jimmy was a phenomenal guide. Enjoyable, well informed and really fun to be around. A must do if in Egypt. The pyramids, the Sphinx and the camel rides were all incredible. Once in a lifetime tour.

Jun 23, 2024Words can not fully express the experience we received from this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He went above and beyond for us at the pyramids, creating an element of exclusivity, we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. And being met at the pyramids by camels, as part of our tour, brought tears to my eyes. Our guide had heard I loved camels and wanted to make my visit more than just a vacation. Every stop on our tour, our guide create memories for us we will always cherish! We felt like more than tourists, we were cared for as good friends visiting. I truly do not believe we would have received this level of treatment with any other tour.

Jun 23, 2024We began the full day at 10am to the bent pyramid with the best tour guide named Mohammad Gamal in a comfortable bus. Arrived at the egyptian museum and got in easily and started the very insighful tour looking at ancient artifacts with a tour guide ready to answer to all our questions plus more hidden information about egyptian history. The next stop was to the wonderful pyramids of giza where we were welcomed by our tour guides friend who took us to the best spot to view the pyramids and to take amazing memorable pictures. I will recommend this day adventure to visitors in cairo it was the highlight of our trip there.
