I was met early right outside my hotel by Alber, and his driver Mohammed . . . in a very clean and accommodating vehicle. Most of the morning was spent at the pyramids of Giza with more educational information than I thought I would get. A quick stop off at a recommended papyrus shop and then to a nice buffet lunch.
The afternoon was a surprise with more to see and learn about at Memphis . . . the Colossus of Ramses II is a wonder to behold! Then on to Saqqara for more sights and a unique tour of nobles tombs there. Another stop at a recommended alabaster shop where I was able to find a few things I wanted, with the guidance of Alber.
I don't see any other way to completely enjoy a day of touring like this without a professional guide. You will get more than your money's worth with Alber- just getting you past the ticket ques alone is superb. Traveling from site to site, you will also get a wonderful introduction to the true Giza . . . where people live and farm in this beautiful and historic area. I highly recommend this service to allow you ease of mind with travel, language and customs . . . as well as extraordinary understanding of what you will visit throughout the day!
