The magic of the Giza Pyramids

5.00The tour guide called Bishoy figlio del re. He is so friendly and informative. He advised us to go inside the Great Pyramid. Despite my fears at the beginning, it was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I told everyone in the UK about the beauty of pyramids. My kids also enjoyed their time in Egypt. Bishoy was very kind to them. I recommend him for any further visits to Egypt.
Amazing Tour .Everything was fantastic.

Traveling with My Daughter

5.00Thanks to Sahar's guide, our trip to Egypt with my daughter was one of my best memories. Best of all, he treated my 11-year-old daughter like a friend. I was also able to satisfy my intellectual curiosity because they answered various questions in the field such as history and religion. Usually, I make all the local arrangements overseas myself, but since I am in Egypt, which is a special place and with my family, I am convinced that the guide was a necessary investment, and it is quite cost-effective from a crisis management perspective.
Excellent
