Great flexible and efficient tour guide experience - Our experience with Mido & Amon Ra Tours was fantastic. He responds very quickly and is very flexible. You want to tweak your schedule on the fly? Need a drop off at the airport? Want to even plan a week long adventure or a Nile cruise private guide? Talk to Mido, he is able to offer just about everything at a reasonable price. We did a fairly fast paced full day tour of the Saqqara Necropolis, the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and even got to visit the GEM. Something most tour groups quoted would be impossible and take 8-9 hours just to see everything excluding the GEM. We got to see all the highlights, starting with a pick up at 8am, and was at the GEM by 2pm. This and we got to see a few local shops along the way to experience a little more of Egypt. Mido tells you how it is, and likes being efficient. If there is something that isn't worth seeing he will tell you about it and why and still give you the option to see it if you'd like but is primarily focused on giving everyone the best experience possible. Mido will find ways to avoid crowded areas so that you can have good explanations of everything and a chance to ask any questions you may have. His English is fantastic and we never had any problems understanding him, which I can't say is the case for all tour guides in Egypt.
