Everything was just perfect! Our driver Mohamad and our guide Abdul were so kind and friendly, making for an amazing day visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx. They even took us to ride camels and, before lunch, to the most important perfume shop, which I recommend to everyone. Thanks again to Abdul and Mohamad for this wonderful day.

The guide was really prepared, helpful, and nice. At the end of the tour, there was also time to visit a perfume and essence shop where we could try different scents and choose a custom one to take home. A nice and unexpected addition.
