We had the best tour guide, her name is Bossi. We started the day by being picked up from our hotel lobby at 8:15am. After finishing all the customer pick ups, we headed to the Pyramids. That started with a camel ride up a small hill with a great view of all three Pyramids. After that we hoped on a bus that took us down closer to the Pyramids. There you can either go inside the Pyramid or just walk around taking amazing photos. If you want to go inside the Pyramid you must purchase tickets at the very first entrance of the Pyramid site when you first arrive. It's not possible to buy tickets once you're inside at the Pyramids. After that we got on another bus to the Sphinx and got more amazing photos. From there we walked back to the tour van and had a short drive to a restaurant for lunch. We had the option of chicken or beef or mix of both. The chicken tasted amazing and it was cooked on charcoal. After that we got back on the tour van and went to the Cairo Museum. That was great but made even better with our tour guides knowledge and explanation of everything. After the museum we got back on the tour van and went to the Khan El Khalili market. It was a long day but a very amazing day and great experience that you won't forget. The whole day Bossi led our tour with amazing knowledge and her great personality. Very friendly and caring and every was happy and we all got along great. Then we all got dropped off back at our hotels. I recommend booking with this tour 100%.

Our guide, Saber, was super attentive. He had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the pyramids (and beyond) which made us even more enchanted with Giza. He took us to the main sites and always warned us about possible scammers. As a bonus, he spoke Portuguese, which made the whole experience even more incredible.

It was very exciting to see the pyramids and go through the pyramids and walking up the tight stairs to see the king's tomb. Yeah, at the top of the pyramid. The air warm walking up the stairs, you have to be in pretty good shape. Should have hiking shoes or tennis shoes. Do not wear dress shoes whatsoever. The ground is uneven.
