Very good

My experience was really good. I had a great time. Salma was educating us on the history of Egypt and the pyramids and was being very clear with all her explanations and made sure we were okay throughout the experience. The only thing I would say if the transport could be on time.

Cairo

Superb excursion! Top-notch pickup, the guide Dina is fantastic and passionate about Egyptian history. We were able to take a lively cruise on the Nile, Visit the inside of the Great Pyramid, go for a camel ride. Then visit an essential oil production facility. The self-service restaurant was really good. Then we finished with the GME, which is magnificent. Everything was great and well organized.
