The tour was everything I expected and more. My tour guide Sayed was very knowledgeable of Egypt and able to answer my questions and give a detailed background story about each of the monuments. Sayed was awesome. He is very friendly and accommodating. The lunch was at a local buffet restaurant and the food was very good. Everything was as described in the ad. You will have to pay for the museum and entry to see the pyramids separate from the online price. Overall, for a private tour, you definitely get value for money.
