A Must See while in Egypt - I don't know were to begin for this tour has left me speechless. Yes, seeing the pyramid and the Sphinx are definitely incredible and a must see. However, if you want to see something mind blowing (and not dead); YOU MUST BOOK this tour. Seeing Garage City and the Cave Church are one of most incredible things that I have even seen. Even now I am still processing all that I saw.... it's beautiful, shocking and so profound all roll up. This tour has had a definite impact on me . SO If you are looking to see something outside of the normal places to visit in Egypt then I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour !!!!! You will not be disappointed.

Do not waste your money!! - What we experienced while doing the tour is far from what they offer/ advertise and is way overpriced. On top of it, the guide needed to be more professional and prepared for the tour - he talked about anything that came to mind except for what he was hired to do.
While on this awful experience, we contacted the tour operator regarding this matter - the representative was rude, dismissive, and gaslighted us repeatedly by asking the same questions and telling us "to calm down".
I have used Viator for other tours and have had beautiful experiences. Sadly this was not the case.
Don't book this tour!
