Excellent guided tour of the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx, with a great lunch and cruise - Sameh is an excellent guide! He kept our tour moving along without rushing at any point, and he knows a lot of people, so we also got the best camel rides at the pyramids! He’s very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and the rest of the region as well. And at USD $65, this tour was a steal!

A justifiable Wonder of the World - Fabulous tour! Gamil our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about his country and gave us good advice about when the best time to take the felucca ride was, and showed us all the best spots for photos at the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Couldn’t recommend him higher. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
