Picking a tour company last minute in a big tourist destination is like gambling; you win some. You lose some. For our Giza tours we won big!
Ahmed, one of the leaders of Sun Pyramids accommodated special destination requests easily and effortlessly without a "surprise additional cost" Meeting us at the hotel but could have been arranged by email or phone as well) all changes, transportation and English speaking tour guide arrangements were completed in five minutes time.
As promised, next morning our transportation and tour guide were waiting for us by the hotel lobby right on schedule. Our cheery guide Yasser Arafa and driver Muhammed swooped us up took us to the Giza pyramids, Sphynx, camel rides and the Egyptian museum. Aaand, the papyrus museum. What made this all hazzle free was for us was Yasser purchasing the tickets at each location so we avoided lines and negotiations. EASY!
In the middle of touring we were taken to a nearby restaurant for our all-inclusive lunch. Food was classic Egyptian and good
Yasser our tour guide and Egyptologist was more knowledgeable about Egyptian ancient history than a professor! His English was mostly good for explanations, but have to warn you, he will quiz you relentlessly throughout the tour.
We were lucky to find Sun Pyramids tour operators for Egypt. And I Say Egypt because they can arrange these tours with safety, Efficiency and bloody fair cost all over Egypt. From Cairo to SharmEl Sheikh, and Alexandria to Luxor.
I would give them five stars, but they were late by nearly an hour picking us up at the airport and Yasser quizzed us one star too many. LOL They are indeed a good bunch.
