My sister and I decided to go with Simsem for our visit to Giza in Egypt. We were paired up with the incredible Nada, who was so passionate and so knowledgeable. We were picked up and dropped off and were able to enjoy and learn about the incredible sites and this ancient history - that left us mesmerised. In addition, we follow veggie and vegan diets and were perfectly catered for. I would jump on the opportunity to explore with Simsem and Nada again. Thank you!
