Amaal is an excellent tour guide. She is the best. She is very friendly, has very good knowledge and speaks German. We felt absolutely comfortable with her.

We had Bossi as our tour-guide who was very informative. She is an ex-archeologist, so her knowledge was thorough and she was easy to talk/listen to. Our driver was Mahammad who was very attentive and nothing was too difficult for him and he navigated the Cairo traffic with ease. The tour was exceptionally done and was one of the highlight of our trip. The only negatives was we were taken to a high-end souvenir store which seemed like an organised sales pitch and although we enjoyed the Felucca down the Nile it just aimless floated about with no real direction.

The tour was well organized, with the right timing. The guide and driver contacted us the day before to set up the meeting, to which they showed up very punctually. The guide Samaa was really outstanding, alternating moments where he explained the site and the various monuments with others where he helped us with photos. During the felucca ride then we were able to talk and compare notes about our respective countries, a really pleasant and intelligent person. The driver (whose name I unfortunately cannot remember) always drove calmly and carefully in the chaotic traffic, also always smiling and ready to take us from one place to another. The car was new, clean and smelled good. We could not have asked for better for our vacation.

The nice boat ride at the end was a nice way to end the day. I enjoyed the pyramids. Giza Plateau is something you can visit on your own but if you want the history behind each pyramid then a guide is the way to go. I loved that our tour guide was honest about what we would see in the pyramids and warned us ahead of time of the small spaces!
