A wonderful world wind Egyptian Adventure! - My Family and I did a 4 day tour our guide was exceptional at taking care of us and getting us to all the sites. She expertly explained nuances of Egypt and Egyptian culture both in ancient and current times that fully immersed my family including 2 under 13 and kept us captivated. Whether exploring the Giza Pyramids or delving into the lesser-known sites of Saqqara and Dahshur, or exploring the catacombs in Alexandria, we were well taken care of and given the history and knowledge. We would give our experience 10 stars if that was an option and definitely would recommend our tour guide Menna as we believe she was instrumental in making our experience as great as it was.

As a university lecturer in history I joined this tour with high expectations and they were exceeded - The guide depth of knowledge and ability to synthesize complex historical timelines made this a rich academic experience. Dahshur Bent and Red pyramids illustrated the architectural evolution beautifully. The Museum mummy hall was another highlight

I was absolutely blown away by the architectural marvels on this tour - Standing before the Great Pyramid of Giza was humbling, but the unique structure of the Bent Pyramid in Dahshur left a lasting impression. The guide connected the dots between each site, showing how styles and techniques evolved. A must-do for architecture buffs
