Best day ever!

We had the best day visiting the pyramids! We were picked up at 12am for an overnight drive, so we got there nice and early. The drivers were great, stopped when we needed ti, nothing was to much trouble. They were always there waiting for us when we moved to the next place. We met our Egyptologist once in Cario, Ahmed. He was fantastic, so knowledgeable and always showing us the right stop for a photo!! I cannot rate this company highly enough, I would book again when we return.

All good

A private tour. Very friendly service. The guide spoke English well. The driver was friendly and accommodating. We were able to chat on the way to Cairo. We made it without any lines. Thanks to the 1 a.m. departure suggested by the travel agency, it was a perfect day. Although very tiring.
