“My guide Bossi was very friendly during the tour. She told interesting stories about pyramids and answered all my questions about every single artifact from the museum that I found interesting. She has a decent knowledge about Egypt history, and she is a good story teller, so it was very interesting to listen to her. At the end of the tour, I bought many cheap but nice souvenirs for my friends and colleagues at the bazaar. The transportation and lunch also were good.”
