Recommended trip with nice, affable drivers and friendly, well-informed guide

Everything around is highly recommended. We were picked up on time, just as was communicated the day before. The drivers were very nice and made us feel safe. Our guide was also very nice. She could speak German well and left a very competent impression. She herself studied Egyptology, so she really knows her stuff and does it with passion. She has offered us regular also sometimes to walk around alone (which we liked a lot), but was always at our side with questions. In addition, everything was very transparent (transfer, admissions etc. is all included, only the drinks in the restaurant have to be paid for themselves, but this is clearly described in advance). Even when visiting the Perfume Museum nothing was forced on us, our no was immediately accepted. Around highly recommended. Great trip with nice drivers and very friendly guide.
