Brilliant guided tour. Picked up from hotel in Soma Bay promptly at the time specified. Our driver Mohammed took us to Cairo where we were joined by Ashraf, our Egyptologist. He was knowledgeable, courteous, patient and had a great sense of humour. This was our last guided tour following a Nile cruise in a group. As a couple, Ashraf was able to give us his full attention and the experience beat all the other tours by far. If only we could have had him all week. The tour is a must for anyone interested in seeing the step pyramid as well as the world's oldest building at 4,650 years old. We especially appreciated having the time to go inside the great pyramid which was an additional option to the tour. Would highly recommend Ashraf and this tour.
The trip of a lifetime!

My now fiancé and I travelled to Egypt and were provided exceptional service by our guide Rado! He was very knowledgeable about all thing Egypt while being extremely personable as well. He now shares a very special moment with us as he is the one who took these photos and was the first to know of our engagement! Even after only knowing him for such a short time he feels like family! I give Rado 5 stars but I would give him 10 if I could! Thank you so much Rado! Can’t wait to request you when we visit this magnificent country again! -B

We had an incredible day in Cairo with Gouda seeing the pyramids, Sphinx, art and local crafts, a tour of the Egyptian museum and a visit to the market. Gouda is exceptionally knowledgeable about all of the places we toured plus the history of Egypt. We had such a delightful, easy going, learned day. We couldn’t have done this on our own!

My friend and I had a splendid day with guide Rasha and driver Hassan! Rasha was very professional and knowledgeable; there wasn’t a question we asked where she didn’t know the answer! Our lunch was superb and very filling, and there was enough time to do all the things we were excited about. Special thanks to Rasha and her great fun-photo-taking skills at the pyramids!
Fantastic day trip
