Bossi was great and the trip was well organised. They picked me up on time from the hotel and Bossi and the driver were gracious and made sure we were well informed about the pyramids and everything in the museum. The kept us all informed to make sure we don't get scammed and where to buy and where not, but still i got due to my negligence but for money I don't care a lot about. Overall great and highly recommended
