Guide was amazing but tour was not what was advertised. Tickets were supposed to be included and were NOT included and you couldn’t pay cash only credit card. This tour said we were supposed to visit a village and that did not happen. Around 100* outside, the car air conditioner was not used and when it was, ran very poorly to the point that I was drenched. Company did reimburse me for the ticket costs by the end of the day thanks to my guide not giving up. Lunch does NOT include a choice of drink. If you choose to go with this company, make sure you know what is included and have a copy to pr
We had a wonderful day in Fayum. We were pick by our driver just on time with clean and spacious car. Then we went to Fayum village for a lovely traditional breakfast. After this we went for desert safari with our second driver Mustafa. He gave us lots of adrenaline and fun. Then sand boarding which I recommend to everyone. I have to say the owner Ahmed is a really nice person. Try to help us with everything and make us enjoy as much as possible. Also I have to mention a delicious lunch served in Fayum village. Lots of lovely food you won't be hungry. Thank you again
