    The tour was advertised with English speaking guide, however the Sun Pyramid representative didn't speak English. Mahmoud was a nice guy and drove me around for the 7 days, but he certainly was not a guide, and I didn't receive any information about the places we visited.The itinerary and destinations were amazing, but the fact I couldn't communicate with the driver (again, should be guide) had a big impact on my experience, hence not a 5 star review. Also, it was disappointing that after writing to Sun Pyramid tours with my feedback they did not reply.
