We had fantastic private layover tour with Sayed our tour guide and Muhammad our driver. The whole experience was well organized with Sayed giving us an incredible history of each site we visited. What really made our day enjoyable was that Sayed navigated the busy tourist sites for us and ensured that we were not the subjected to any hard sale tactics by vendors. For instance, we were told the customary price for camel rides as well as tipping.
Sayed is exceedingly knowledgeable, very kind and considerate - having drinks and local snacks waiting for us when we entered the air conditioned private vehicle.
In addition to the pyramids and museum, Sayed also took us to trusted local business that ensured we spent our money on authentic papyrus, oils and jewelry.
Sayed also took photos of my wife and I so that we had great photos together at the various sites. We were given the opportunity to stop on a bridge overlooking the Nile so that we could get photos together. All these little things added up to be what was an incredible experience in a country with amazing history.
Would definitely recommend this incredible tour.
