Having him navigate the pyramid complex made a huge difference, as it can easily feel overwhelming without guidance. He took us to the best vantage points and even doubled as our photographer (which he made very clear was free 😅). There are lots of people around offering things that definitely aren’t free, so having Tony with us was extremely helpful. The tour itself was perfectly paced. Not too long, not too short, and never rushed. The only minor downside, which was more about the tour operators than Tony, was some pressure to arrange a hotel pickup at…”

The only not that great experience was lunch itself. The food wasn’t the best, and we did not get anything to drink. We weren’t even ask if we want to pay more for that. In my opinion that was strange. But overall it was a great day. Thank you ☺️”
