Very nice guide. He shared a lot of background stories. He also took a lot of time with me and showed me some more places. The highlight was the small hill where I was able to take pictures without any other tourists.

It's wonderful to be picked up by a tour-support-driver, at the hotel you're staying at; no fuss with organising other people to adept to adept to your needs: the tour starts at your door-step. The guide was knowlegable, many questions could be asked, and a real PLUS: his photos were fantastic. An additional extra were the tours on offer: carriage-ride, visiting two local shops providing insights into papyrus-fabrication and the use of essential oils.

I was collected at my Hotel and driver and vehicle identified. The tour was really great and the guide was very knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will recommend it to anyone to get to know the culture and history as one of the Wonder of the World.

An amazing experience, far beyond my expectations. Reda showed me the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx with such clear, passionate, and articulate explanations in French. Every moment was seamless, interesting, and authentic. Special mention also goes to the driver, Ahmed, who was just as professional and attentive. I particularly enjoyed the stops at carefully selected local shops—a true immersion, without any pressure. Honestly, 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you for your kindness, your professionalism, and this unforgettable day.
