Overall excellent experience. Sharif, who drove « Normandie », our car, was an excellent driver; he drove with skill and safety like we have never seen before. Ahmed, our charismatic guide, spoke excellent English, and was extremely knowledgeable; he told us factual information and was able to answer all our questions as well as shared myths and legends about the ancient world of Egypt, additionally, we had great discussions about modern Egyptian culture. He also gave us extremely helpful tips on how to get through our next 10 days in Egypt in relation to safety, not being taken advantage of by scams, and advised us how to carry ourselves to keep ourselves from being exploited of as non Egyptian women. Both Ahmed and Sharif were extremely polite, kept us safe from traffic and people who may have harassed. They were genuinely concerned with our wellbeing; provided water, stopped for breaks, kept our car cool and overall made sure we were well taken care of. Ahmed made sure we did not miss anything and gave us the option of what we wanted to see. If we could, we would give Sharif and Ahmed 7 stars out of 5 for being such excellent representatives of their company and their country.jxhxTitor

As 3rd time of visiting Egypt, To be fair, it was amazing samilir as last vists on egypt. Stating a day with nice guide Mido, he picked me on time from hotel, treated with kindess behivor and then we went to Dashur as recommendtion of Mido,I was amazed specially the step pyramid, it was nice touch to the tour besides clear explination by mido. More futher, second destnaiton was pompay’s pillar, very ancient and incrediable details. to be honest on this part was ambgous although I do some research to clear things and it fully understand bheind it. Simple review, I highly recommnded it to these guys who's looking for new pyramid types and pompay’s pillar , and I give a highlight for Mido for clear guidliness.990catd

My favorite part of the tour was the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa. It was really interesting to see how the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman religions all fused together.
