We had a very nice day with our guide Ahmed Ali. He knows everything about the sites and couldn’t have been more polite. Sam the driver did a great job in the Cairo traffic too. Going inside the Pyramid of Khufu was our main interest and we had the time to do this (it is optional and an extra fee.) Just walking around the Pyramids of Giza themselves were the highlight for us so spend as much time here as you can before moving on. The Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara don’t need a lot of time if you ask me. If you opt for the camel ride at the lookout (a short photo op ride for an extra fee) know that our handlers pushed hard for more tip than the guide suggest. We chose to be firm at the recommended tip. The photos did turn out nice.
All other fees were covered and Ahmed made everything go smooth and carefree.
We normally self guide and rarely book tours, but we enjoyed this hassle free day in capable hands. Thanks Ahmed!
