Our guide Mai made this tour exceptional! She shared so many interesting facts with us and made sure to leave enough time for photos. Lunch was delicious too. Great value for money!
Great tour with a fantastic guide. We learned so much, and the sights were incredible. The bazaar was a bit crowded, but that’s part of the charm. Would definitely recommend!
The tour was amazing, but the day was quite packed. I wish we had a bit more time at the pyramids. Still, a fantastic experience overall!
Absolutely magical! Riding a camel near the pyramids was a highlight. The tour was well-organized, and the guide was super friendly and informative.
This tour exceeded my expectations! The guide explained everything in detail, and the views from the Citadel were breathtaking. Worth every penny!
