A great hit of seeing the Pyramids. This tour was perfect - it was a quick hit of the pyramids with two young kids, who were jaw dropped the entire time, especially camel riding. Hussan communicated well, he was timely and value for money we received was fantastic for our budget. Our guide Hussan was fantastic especially with the kids (10years & 7 years) they learnt so much, from Hussans knowledge and even had little questions of their own. We enjoyed a post Pyramids quiz - We were all there to learn and the kids really took so much from this experience. We felt safe the entire time. A very clean air con bus, and driver was fabulous. We had some extra stops including jewellery and paintings on traditional Egyptian paper which were great. From pick-up to drop off Hussan filled our minds with facts - We loved it, the kids loved it. Thank you Hussan - We highly recommend

As the morning progresses and the clouds begin to part, revealing a mostly sunny afternoon, you’ll find yourself enriched by the tales of ancient civilizations, ready to explore more of what Las Palmas has to offer.
