Ahmed Sayd (tour guide) & Ahmed the driver were absolutely amazing from start to finish! Couldn't recommend this tour enough! It began with prompt pick up from our hotel & a very clean & spacious vehicle ready with complimentary cold water. Ahmed S talked us through history/culture on our way to the pyramids/sphinx and helped us get AMAZING pictures. He didn't pressure us at all and tried to make the day as easy/enjoyable as possible. We also went to a perfumery & a papyrus Center which was a pleasant surprise. He took great care of us as did the driver and we wouldn't hesitate to book a tour with the company again.

This was one of the highlights of our trip, not just because of the pyramids, but also because of our excellent guide and driver. Hussein and Esam made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time we were with them. Hussein told us the history of the pyramids, After the tour, Hussein took us to a papyrus museum and store where we learned about the plant and how it was used to make the paper historically used. Hussein treated us to a cup of coffee at a local shop and it was a great chance to chat and learn more about life in Egypt. After coffee, Hussein ensured we got to try koshary for lunch then dropped us back at the hotel. Overall would recommend this tour wholeheartedly!
