Starting with the hotel pickup, no stress trying to find the meeting point. Our small group made it easy to hear everything and ask many questions without bothering others in the group. Waleed (our guide & Egyptologist) was so fantastic , the depth of his knowledge was truly remarkable. Lunch was a local food buffet with some safe non-Egyptian options for those who wished for something else. The tour duration was just right, not rushed with free time to take photos and explore further after each explanation by Waleed.

Wonderful tour, guide did justice to her role. Every minute was utilized properly as dhe was providing more details about history. Other than history many things about locals and culture were also shared. Some of the bonus items like ice cream completed the trip after tiredness. Overall full stars and recommnded.
