I had an absolutely excellent experience on this tour! Ayman was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience with interesting historical background. He also made me feel very comfortable walking around the city - he was looking out for me. He planned a great day at the pyramids, sphinx, museum, and bazaar. At the pyramids I rode a camel! He also planned fun side stops like a papyrus store and an oils store. And we had a tasty shawarma for lunch. An excellent experience and a great value. Transportation was so easy since he picked me up and dropped me off from my hotel, and the car took us between all the stops to make great time across the day. I will recommend this tour with Ayman as a guide to anyone who visits Cairo!

We really enjoyed the beautiful views and the fantastic performers on our Nile dinner cruise, and while the food might not be for everyone, it was still enjoyable. A huge thank you to our reliable driver for the smooth and safe hotel pickup and drop-off!

Excellent service by the tour guide Ms. Hana and the driver Mr. Mohamed. The driver arrived early for pickup. Waited patiently. Took us all around well. Very calm and professional driver unlike other F1 drivers on the road. Good interactions throughout. Ms. Hana tourist guide was very detail oriented, walked us through the pyramids and the grand museum well. Suggested the right things to do including camel ride and shopping places. Very happy and will recommend for others too.

To all Koreans! We had a very safe and fun trip! The guides were very kind! I was nervous about the unfamiliar environment in Egypt, but the entire schedule was comfortable! Lunch, dinner, and breakfast are provided, and even though I didn't shower before bed, it wasn't too uncomfortable, probably because it was dry! The desert was great, sandboarding was great, and seeing the stars made for a peaceful 2-day, 1-night trip! It was my first time in the desert, and it was so much fun and wonderful! I didn't bring a swimsuit because I thought the water might be dirty, but it would have been better to just bring extra clothes and go in once. Preparations: lots of water, snacks like crackers or jelly, motion sickness medicine for those who get motion sickness, and a swimsuit.
