Insightful and fun tour you cannot miss! - Ayman is an expert Egyptologist who provided us with a wealth of information during our Giza tour visiting from Colorado. We learned so much from him and our driver Mazan was also wonderful and we had so much fun. Luxury Tours helped pull this tour together at the very last minute for us so we were beyond grateful to be able to squeeze in this tour on our last day. We added an Felucca sunset boat ride and it was the perfect way to end the day. Definitely recommend!
