5.00An Unforgettable Experience in Cairo with Our Guide Roshdy During our trip to Cairo, we wanted to explore iconic sites and enjoy unique experiences. Thanks to God, we had an exceptional guide, Roshdy — patient, attentive, and very caring. He guided us to the Pyramids of Giza, an exciting quad bike adventure, and a magical dinner on the Nile. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic, enjoyable, and well-organized experience in Cairo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 without hesitation!) A magical experience in Cairo with Roshdy — truly unmissable! #Cairo #Egypt #UnforgettableTrip #PyramidsOfGiza #NileDinner #QuadAdventure #ExceptionalGuide #AuthenticTravel #RoshdyGuide

5.00Do not hesitate! This was such a wonderful experience. I had initial trepidation but in the very experienced hands of Kevin and his team, I did not need to. To be travelling in the open air, so quiet & peaceful, gazing at beautiful scenery, it’s something I won’t forget and I’m so glad I did it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
A must do experience...

5.00Not only was the ride amazing and to see the valley from up high, the company was professional and pointed out things we might have not noticed. We signed up as a something extra.. I would now say when Amboise this is a must do...

5.00This was my first Balloon ride. The pilot was amazing and his control of the Balloon was pure perfection. We even skimmed the top of a wheat field! The views over the Loire Valley Chateaus was picture perfect beauty and I was amazed at the details we could see from that high up. What surprised me the most was the silence and serenity I felt. SOOOOO worth it!
Amazing experience
