Amazing day in Wadi - The experience is amazing. Pick up at the hotel by the driver Omar (best guide ever). Trip to the place we changed to the 4-wheel drive car. Great Bedouin driver of the 4WD car, in the desert tour (up and down the dunes). A lot of fun at magic lake, sandboarding, waterfall, Valley of the Whales, awesome photos. great lunch in the camp and back to the hotel in time. We learned so much and saw so many things during this trip. Very memorable for us all. in short, fantastic. Thank you again for the incredible day

El Fayoum tour - I had not heard about the area before but I’m glad I took it because my tour guide Amr showed me around the historical city. It was a very memorable visit that I would recommend all visitors take because I’m glad I went. The water falls are a must-see and to top off the experience, he arranged an exclusive lunch of local pigeon and it was delicious.

Great experience - I've booked the tour almost last minute late evening before and afraid will it be orginized. But Last Minute In Egypt company can the all and more. Moreover due to almost suspense of tourusm I was alone and it was like VIP tour with personal attention for me. Tour very interesting who want more Egyptian sites after obligatory Pyramids/Sphinx, Cairo Citadella/Mosques and Alexandria. We visited desert miracle Qaraun lake, Fayoum with it's countrystyle life and ancient castle as well as natural pearl of Egypt Wadi El Rayan waterfall near lake boats marina. Entrance fees were personal and car's for castle and personal for waterfall. Lunch was great and tasty - heavy and with drinks. And there were few compliments like coffee and so on. Also company offered convenient by time and price addition Sound/Light Pyramid Show as end of intetest excursion day and more later for my personal needs. Car was comfy. Master Mohammed all time cared about me distantly. Abu Omar is high professional driver and Rana is very knowing guide as well as interesting lady. Both are great interlocutors. I extra satisfied by company and highly recommend it for all tours and all needs. Shukran yazilan :)
