I paid $56 for "car + guide", discounted from $80, but it was a pretty poor value because my guide Rahim showed limited knowledge of the sites and was probably unlicensed, which is illegal. A driver alone for eight hours costs $33 from most hostels in Cairo, and I wish I did that. When I asked to see Rahim's tourism license, which all guides must study for and carry, he said he forgot it. I've since learned that some of the shadier tours in Egypt use unlicensed guides who are just relatives or laymen who know a few highlights, so it's best to keep your expectations in check. Rahim and his driver arrived in a low-riding street racing coupe that wasn't very appropriate for the task. They had to drive slowly to negotiate rough segments of the road. They were nice people, and Rahim knew the layout of the sites and helped take a few photos for me, but I expected a little more, especially since a driver could do as much. There was also some confusion with the operator since the listing says there will be two hours at each of the sites for a total of 6-7 hours, but the operator told me over email that the experience was six hours in total including transit time from Cairo and back. When I asked operator Mego Tours for a partial refund for these reasons, they refused, so buyer beware.

I highly recommend this tour for several reasons: first of all because after other organized tours I took part in, with this tour we had Akram, a precise, competent and helpful guide who made this tour qualitatively higher than average. Secondly, the organizers gave us the possibility of pick-up in Giza and drop-off in Cairo, which was extremely important for us to streamline the time and change hotel. Another positive aspect was the price, in fact this tour turns out to be cheaper than average, compared with others not on TripAdvisor. Last but not least, the organization and the agreements with the tour agency took place in a linear manner, responding promptly to all my questions, which is not always frequent.
