5.00Fatima was a very great tour guide, tho we had to skip the market due to traffic she still made the effort of showing around and take some nice photos. She’s very knowledgeable about the Egyptian history, she also knows the city and country very well. Overall really enjoyed her guide and recommend you booking her if possible.
Lovely day at the Pyramids

5.00Fatma our guide was great. Really well paced day and she was very informative. We had a lot of laughs with her. Highly recommend her. Pyramids were great, short camel ride with a guide who has been working there since the age of 7. We stopped at an Egyptian oil shop because we asked to. You are encouraged not to say no to a drink when offered which does make you feel that you then have to buy. But we bought because we enjoyed the experience as a family, one of the highlights actually even if over priced. Very good quality lunch included at a restaurant with wonderful staff. And the Egyptian museum was great though we were pretty shattered by then, great to see King Tuts mask. Driver was completely fab and knew the area of our hotel so gave us recommendations of places to eat. Great Kebab place did not disappoint. If you need to withdraw cash, recommend Egypt Bank for a really decent exchange. Once we found one it was easy! Only criticism is that the trip summary gave the impression that entry fees and camel ride included. Delving deeper they weren’t as hadn’t selected that option (wasn’t aware it was an option at point of booking). Not a big deal overall but found it confusing on the day and would have rather it all included. Guide was great at getting student discounts at ticket offices.
