The experience was very pleasant; we did all the stops described in the tour. The only not too positive note was the guide who was uncommunicative and without too much desire to answer the questions asked. Also was asked several times if we felt like going inside to visit the pyramid of Cheops but there was no way we could do it. Driver punctual and safe, lunch very good.

I was picked up from my hotel in the morning by Ahmed and a driver. Ahmed speaks very good German and was able to tell me all about the pyramids. In addition to visiting the pyramids, we also had a delicious meal in a papyros store, a perfumery and a hotel (Valley of the Kings). I can highly recommend this tour. I enjoyed it very much. Everything was perfect, everyone was very hospitable and courteous.
