Amazing trip and the best guide out there. We got clear communication and were really well looked after. We did the trip with 3 children and managed it. For the price I don’t think you can beat the service.

On the trip to Giza , to see the pyramids, we were of course super excited…our guide also had a lot to tell, about the history etc. The only drawback was the pace of our guide. For him, the Egyptian museum and the pyramids were nothing new, and unfortunately we noticed that.
Just let the whole time have an effect on you, realize where you are actually here, was unfortunately not begrudged us. Fast, fast…
But,positive was of course that he photographed us, and they are very nice photos..thanks for that…
Shifting down with a gear is an unforgettable experience…and super organized.
