Pyramids with Sam - Small glitch on location of meeting the driver and vehicle could have been a bit more updated but still comfortable and excellent a/c for the long drive to Cairo to meet Sam. One bathroom stop along the way in a pretty nice place especially considering some restrooms in Egypt. Met Sam, what can I say? He's engaging and extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. He made the day both fun and educational. Having a private van (at a lower cost than a bus) was perfect. Sam would call the driver when we'd be heading for a pick-up and away we'd go with no delay, no counting guests, etc. The pyramids were amazing as was the Cairo museum. Probably 90% of our group pics of our entire trip were taken by Sam who not only took us to the perfect photo op places but is adept at working all kinds of phones and his pics are the best of the trip. Our driver should be entered into the Daytona 500 as he demonstrated crazy skills in traffic in both Cairo and Alexandria - the drivers/pedestrians are insane. Overall an experience of a lifetime and Sam played an important part of this lifetime memory. Highly recommend!

Money well spent - Wonderful guide and driver felt very safe and was able to do more than expected. Bilal spoke great English and was very well educated in they history of Egypt.

Wonderful experience! - Overall a great tour. Pick up location: directions around where you will be picked up could have been a little more descriptive for those who are not regular travellers. When saying meeting point is “outside the port”. You must walk over the bridge past the guard and meet your driver there. Once we figured out we had to go out of the port gates they did have the driver with a sign with our names so that was helpful. Tour: due to the long travel from Alexandrian to Cairo (3hrs), we found the tour to be a bit rushed trying to get in museum, bazar, pyramids and lunch. I would have preferred more time at pyramids. I do feel that our tour guide did a great job getting in all the history about all the sites in short period of time. If I were to do it again, I would potentially skip the bazar to give more time at pyramids. Also, for museum lovers - we only saw the highlights (due to the time constraints). If you are wanting to see everything in the museum you may want tell your tour guide so the spend the most time in the area that interests you. For us - the highlights in the museum was all we needed. Tour Guide: our tour guide Bilal was wonderful. At times (due to the pace) it was a bit hard to understand, however overall he did a great job! Driver: Our driver Ahmad was great. He was not fluent in English, however made effort to communicate with us for the entire trip by using google translate. We had many laughs on the drive! For the start review: I would have given a 5 - however in our opinion more time at the pyramids would have been best. The pace was a little fast trying to get in all the sites. I wonder if they should remove one of these from the itinerary in the future.
