Guided tour with Sherif - Fast and efficient. In the company of Sheriff, we started by visiting the inside of the pyramids (less people) then optional carriage ride but to do because magnificent viewpoint around. Then restaurant and visit an essential oils store. The afternoon was devoted to the museum (we preferred to stay at the museum longer than to go to the souk. Good explanations from Sheriff about all the artifacts and treasures of antiquity. We recommend this beautiful day.

Charlatan - I have read the various reviews rated 5/5 and I have the impression that we did not have the same guide. The visits were very quick and even too much, we asked before the excursion for a visit to Al Khalili market and Ali took us only to the shops in which he must have commissions. (I became suspicious from the first shops!) Then he paid the tickets in advance from the museum and mosque and tried to sell me those same tickets more expensive than the actual price! Finally the meal was included in the excursion , I will not even comment on the quality of the meal but at the end of it and therefore of the excursion Mr Ali asks me 10 euros to tip...! 🧐 Morality he is not honest and does not do his job properly but tries by all means to wring you the wallet. Tourist friends pass your way! I'm not used to writing comments like this but here I really have to warn you.
