Perfect private tour - A lovely day exploring all the pyramids near Cairo, what a wonderful once in a lifetime experience. My guide & Egyptologist Ahmed (and driver Mohammed) were both excellent. Ahmed provided me with very insightful information to the city and a wealth of Ancient Egypt history, the best English and great conversation. The tour was at my own pace, driving very safe in a nice SUV car, delicious lunch included. I really could not have wished for a better experience. Thanks to all 😁.
