Once in a lifetime incredible experience - Ali was the best tour guide! He recommended an early pick up time which was great as it was not as hot and less crowded. As he said we will be the first ones in to see The Pyramids, The sphinx and have a camel ride. It also meant great photos! Ali’s knowledge of the history of The Pyramids, the ships and Sphinx were fascinating. He was also very good on advising us how much to tip the camel driver. A private guided tour is definitely the way to go!!!

Perfect Day in Giza! - With so many tour options, I felt overwhelmed. However, after reading numerous reviews, we were thrilled with our choice. Our tour guide, Summer, was fun, amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, and flexible with her suggestions and time. From the seamless pick-up at our Airbnb in New Cairo to the end, everything went perfectly. The driver was also fantastic. We saw everything we wanted and more. The food was incredible, and the air-conditioned van was ideal for the weather. For unforgettable experiences and amazing photos, I highly recommend requesting Summer!

Really comfortable tour, and a great guide - Rasha was amazing! We took the tour with a 10 week old baby and she was so accommodating. She was incredibly knowledgable, calm and funny - even held the baby while we went inside a pyramid! The hotel pick up was seamless, it was a great tour with a separate driver and air conditioned car, definitely recommend!

Great Service - Great tour guide and driver. They were both very knowledgeable with all of the history and ancient backgrounds. They kept us away from the scammers, and translated what others were selling. Bottled water was also provided inside the private van. Great service, and kind guides. Would highly recommend.

Exceptional - Our tour guide, Ms. Olu, exhibited exceptional professionalism and expertise during the tour. Her extensive knowledge, patience, and kindness were truly remarkable. Ms. Olu made every effort to ensure that we visited authentic vendors and provided valuable insights into the local culture. She also assisted us in capturing stunning photographs, catering to my son's interest in Instagram. We express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Olu for her outstanding service, which greatly enhanced our overall experience.
Thank you again

Great trip even better guide - What an amazing tour! The pyramids and Sphinx are great but the best part was our guide Wael. He is beyond knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. He knew all the great spots to take the best pictures and such a great person to spend a day or half a day with.

Touring Egypt - I went with two of my friends in late April/early May and we had a blast. Our guide Ola took us around everywhere and she was super nice and was so knowledgeable about everything Egyptian. We ended up booking multiple tours with her and I would recommend her to any of my friends or family going to Egypt.

Great tour, with just one aspect we would change - We had a great tour with Nagwan. She was well organised, professional and fun to be with.
The only criticism was that, as mentioned by another reviewer below, the tour included visits to a perfume shop and a papyrus shop. Although this was presented as an insight into Egyptian culture it was really just a sales pitch.
Unless this is of interest, I recommend asking for it to be removed from the tour. A much better option (for us anyway) would have been to visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum (which should not be missed) instead of the shops.
