our guide with mirette tours was very patient, attentive and very thorough in his explanation at museum with king tut . fantastic without being too wordy . very interesting stories. and was able to communicate in English very well. Aboud, i think , was a past curator in egypt and was very well versed on egyptian history and stories with each and every artifact , though he speedily took us through museum in an hour ; we believe we got more than we bargained for. he was able to get us on and negotiate for camel ride at the pyramids and a horse cart ride around all the pyramids which was very appreciated . he also took care of getting us tickets to go down under a pyramid( which wasnt really interesting in itself) but was something to say you actually did that few other people have done. we travelled from alexandria cruise ship so there was a lot of travel included and had to walk out of port ( about a km ) to get to the gate to meet mirette but it was all worth it . We travelled in a new minivan and was very comfortable.We cut out the egyptian lunch and changed it to mcdonalds as one of our kids has dietary limitations and this was accommodated with ease. overall i would give this tour with this specific tour guide a 10/10Q9556NYmariom
