Fantastic Tour

Wow, what a day! Marco waited patiently until we made our appearance outside terminal 3 at Cairo Airport. We proceeded to the Giza complex with Marco pointing out interesting sites along the way. As the day progressed we were treated to delightful insights and experiences that avoided the tourist crowds. Patiently accommodating our questions and delays and yet making time to fulfill our itinerary for the day. Thank you for making our last day memorable Marco and Ahmed.

I normally like to do things on my own, but having a guide and driver was most helpful , specially when you’re in a very busy and crowded place . My guide Ebrahin Taye was wonderful, very knowledgeable and very energetic. Having him take great pics was a plus

A huge thank you to Ali, our guide and Ahmed, our driver for a fantastic day. Visiting the Pyramids was top of my bucket list items and an experience I will never forget. A private tour is highly recommended as you can enjoy a more intimate experience with times revolving around you and doing what you want to do.
