Giza and cairo visit

Matchstick107, Bath, United Kingdom

I just wanted to put a review forward for this company. My wife reviewed the company at the end of the giza and cairo museum. We booked this tour online at short notice and were pleased with the process and communication with the company. The visit to the pyramids at giza was interesting however we felt that more time could have been spent there...
