“We had an amazing time! They were so accommodating and polite especially with my 6 year old. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide so knowledgeable and patient. What I didn’t expect was for us to have the bus and guide all to ourselves which I absolutely loved! I felt comfortable and safe and would recommend 10 times over! Must book!!”

“Highly recommend this trip. Our guide Bossi was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Most people would find navigating the whole trip really difficult without a guide. We saw the pyramids, went inside (you have to do it, but it is pretty uncomfortable and hot inside). We saw the sphinx and went on a camel ride. The lunch stop was brilliant, buffet style and quality food. The afternoon in the Grand Egyptian Museum was helpfully guided taking us to the key exhibits. Well worth the money. Thanks”
