Mohammed was my driver and Marco was my tour guide. They were great and made sure I had enough food and water throughout the day. I felt safe with Mohammed driving through the crazy traffic of Cairo/Giza. And Marco was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of history. He proposed a different itinerary than what I booked which I agreed to as my time in Cairo is short- the places he took me were pretty epic to see, along with the history shared. He also offered to help with my itinerary for the rest of my Egypt trip.
I was taken to the Golden Eagle crystal/papyrus stores which was cool (but I think it is a bit of a tourist trap unfortunately after reading the reviews and overhearing the same comments made by store-workers about giving ‘special discounts to special customers’, so just be aware as I fell for it).
Overall a really good day with a great tour guide.
