See the Pyramids with Mo, Egyptologist and Giza Native
Our guide, Mo is not only an Egyptologist but he also grew up in Giza. He offered us a unique and deeply insightful tour of the pyramids beyond the usual tourist spots, while at the same time, minimizing unnecessary walking, which we greatly appreciated given our age.
Driver Haitham's car was very clean and comfortable. He ensured a smooth ride throughout. I get car sick easily but felt absolutely fine because of his expert driving skills.
If you are planning a trip to the pyramids in Giza, I highly recommend booking with this company and requesting for Mo and Haitham.
