- lharvey0000 contributionsThey are trying to drain you of every single cent you have.From beginning to end I will describe my experience. They picked me up from my hotel, they were on time. We went to see the pyramids. My tour guide took great pictures. I will say, when I found out the actual price of the camel ride, I felt like they ripped me off big time. It is only 500 egyptian pounds for an hour long camel ride in reality and at some point if you paid for the 15 minute camel ride, the tour guide is going to say you can upgrade to an hour for an extra $20 which turns out to be double the price of the actual one hour camel ride. But we are tourists so they think we are stupid and I guess I was. I just didn’t like how much they took advantage of the fact that they know we wouldn’t know any better. She told me the 1 hour camel ride would give me the opportunity to take pics by the sphinx, however, the camel ride guys were kind of rude and kept rushing everything and did not take any pictures by the sphinx and they kept saying, oh, let’s make your camel go faster even though I was clearly uncomfortable and was nearly falling off the camel when it was going anything faster than it’s normal walking pace. Then they kept saying for the camel to go faster again! I was so annoyed. The people running the camel ride and the atv ride kind of talk to you like you’re stupid, which I certainly did not like. Was not sure if it was because I was female but I did not like the vibe at all. We kept stopping at all these shops and there was a point when I was like, okay, no more shops; I don’t want to spend anymore money and the tour guide kept pushing to take me to some spice shop. Then we were late for the cruise dinner and I had to catch the next cruise instead which left at 7:30pm. The food was really good but I got back so late, much later than necessary if we didn’t stop at all those gosh darn shops. Anyway, this was my honest review. Hope it is helpful!Written March 14, 2025
- anapM1692XO0 contributionsVisiting EgyptI had an amazing experience with our guide in Egypt! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip truly memorable. Their deep understanding of Egypt’s history and culture brought each site to life, and they always ensured we were comfortable and well taken care of. From the pyramids to the temples, every moment was fascinating. I highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Egypt!”Written March 11, 2025
- Rubstar8880 contributionsParty with RafatRafat is a very happy and welcoming person/ guide. We listened to good Egyptian music in the car. He took me to have tasty fellafel and beans with pickled vegetables. I also tried a selection of sweets. Also Khoshry - delicious! We drank plenty of tea and Egyptian coffee. We visited oil factory, spice house, carpet school and museum of papyrus. I enjoyed the felluca ride on the Nile river the best. I had a great time. Thank you Rafat!Written March 7, 2025
- noahbT1318QI0 contributionsTour of Khan El-Khalili market, shops, and MosqueWe had a very nice time on the tour with Roma. She was very friendly and informative, and the driver also did a great job. We learned a lot about Egyptian culture and saw a number of interesting sites. As it was Ramadan, some of the shops/stalls were closed in the market although there was still plenty to see. Visiting the Mosque was also a highlight.Written March 1, 2025
