5.00On a scale of 1-10, a 15. Thoroughly enjoyed Ahmeds commentary on the history of the pyramids. I felt like I was transported back in time a few thousand years.
Hands down the best tour guide in whole Egypt

5.00If you really want to know about the pyramids and the egyptian history then Ahmed is your guy. I havent’s seen a more passionate and knowledgeable tour guide. There was nothing he did not know and really gave us an unforegettable lesson of egyptian history. I would definitely recommend him and the driver Sameh for any tour. Trust me you won’t regret it
Great sites, wish we had a different guide

3.00The sites were great but the guide was okay. She seemed very interested in the first site and gave good information. But at the second pyramid she just waited for us in the car. At the end of the site visit, an officer approached us and we thought we did something wrong. It would have been nice if she was there to help translate but thankfully we were close enough to the car so he can approach them. Also, at the end she asked if I was bored with Egypt because I seemed too calm but that statement took me by surprise. It made it uncomfortable. It was the last day of our 10 day trip in Egypt and I was exhausted plus I’m a bit reserved and introverted. I loved all the history of Egypt but this tour guide made me feel bad at the end of my trip. Wish we had someone else to visit these beautiful sites.
Enjoyed our tour.
