Despite the female English tour guide being unavailable and being substituted with a male guide, we were extremely happy with our experience. The driver picked us up from our hotel on time, and the guide met us as the museum. He gave us a lot of information that gave the history and interesting information. The photographer was excellent (we only saw sneak peaks, but he did such a great job with our toddler). The camel ride was an experience. I do not recommend doing it with a toddler but the staff was very helpful to get him up and then off the camel after a photo! Overall, we truly enjoyed our day! The team of people really took the time to make sure we got to experience everything while never making us feel rushed! Thank you again!

Fantastic experience with our guide Bossi. See the pyramids, sphinks, Cairo Museum and bazaar. Full of history and ancient Egypt. Our guide Bossi is very kind, polite, experienced and full of knowledge. Worth for money and time.
