Pressured to constantly buy things! (Know what you’re getting into)
The Guide (Muhammad) was very pushy about tipping his friends (it was clear that he gets kickbacks from taking us to his friends shops/excursions), almost to an extremely uncomfortable level. It was so uncomfortable my wife wanted to cut the tour short. We were very vocal about not wanting to do the shopping part as it was “optional”, but he and the driver would take us to his friends shops anyways and try and push us to buy things (there’s a word for forcibly taking someone somewhere against their will or consent by the way). We honestly would have bought some things if they weren’t so aggressive, we refused to be taken advantage of. The ATV guide was better and was humble so we did tip him. The “Lunch” was some chips and Soda out of the trunk of the car, we refused and he kept questioning us why. My wife can’t have certain food ingredients (artificial dyes was in the soda and chips break her out), so we figured a no would suffice but he kept questioning why we didn’t want the “Lunch”. One no should suffice, but not for him. I think the guides/companies should be mindful that people pay/save good money to come to these places and that we’re not all “rich”, so being aggressive and being pressured to buy and tip constantly 24/7 feels like a shake down and not a pleasant experience. The guide even made a comment that our hotel “Marriott Mena House” was so “expensive” so he knows we have money and should be tipping. With the amount of money we paid for the tour, he should have been tipping his friends and not pressuring us. Overall this was not a pleasant experience and soured our trip to Egypt.

Very beautiful everything
The experience was totally excellent, Kareem is spectacular, the best guide , the best photographer, with such interesting data that in a few hours made us fall in love with Egypt. Your Spanish is very good which made the visit easy. It is a very careful tour in details, with snacks, water, cruise on the Nile River with show. All wonderful

Awesome time!
Our guide was amazing. He took awesome pictures of us at the pyramids, the sphinx and on the camels. The driver was with us the whole day. We had time to go shower before our dinner cruise.
