An excellent tour: the minibus was new, well-air-conditioned, and designed for a small group; there were plenty of stops, yet we still arrived quite quickly. Cold water was always available on board. We had a fantastic guide, Sasha, who shared so many interesting facts about Egyptian history with us in russian! Many thanks to him for that and for looking after us so well!

Great tour, but with 7.5 hours there and 6 hours back, it's also very time-consuming, but it's worth it and every cent. Our guide Mohammed found the perfect balance between a lot of good information and enough time for independent exploration. I would pay the surcharge for the interior visit of the smallest of the 3 pyramids again (€20). A short carriage ride/camel ride to a good photo spot of the pyramids is URGENTLY not recommended: Although the photos are great, 1. the animals are treated badly (including the horses being beaten in front of our eyes) and 2. the drivers were incredibly braze

Great! Just amazing to do. The transportation takes a long time, but it's necessary for this day in Cairo. The live guide is lovely and very passionate.

Excellent trip. Sarwat was very helpful, patient, friendly, and straightforward. He showed us other interesting places off the beaten path and was always with us! We felt safe the whole time! I highly recommend him! Book without hesitation!
