This is an awesome idea! - I originally thought of doing this on my own, and not going with a guide, but I am so glad I changed my mind and worked with Ayoub. Ayoub is a professional pyramids guide who runs a flawless tour. Comfortable and safe air-conditioned vehicle. Well educated on the topics at hand, and able to talk about current events, as well as the history of Egypt and the pyramids. This is exactly what you want in a guide. He was a pleasure to spend my day with. He gave me equal time for myself to rest and appreciate what I was seeing; but at the same time, having the right instincts to give me a heads up when it was important. The pace of the tour itself was ideal. It was late June, so the heat is a concern… but Ayoub communicated the day before that we would get started at 8 o’clock and he was right on time. Good move. We hit Giza first then Saqqara. He took the time to make sure I had enough water, time to rest, and gave me the option of extending the tour into individual choices, such as going underground into an actual pyramid. No sales pressure whatsoever, in fact, he warns you when you are going to encounter various sales pitches at the pyramids grounds. Which I thought was very useful because it allows you to pay more attention to the service you’re getting to tip people appropriately. He also thoughtfully arranged for me to see various local attractions, such as perfume shops, clothing stores, and a Papyrus maker. At one point, I decided to change it up and asked to see a Cartouche vendor because I needed to buy a Cartouche for a friend. He brought me to a very credible and high-quality vendor. That alone made my day because I didn’t have to worry about trying to find the right place. Ayoub is helpful and flexible in his plans, feel free to make adaptations. I thoroughly enjoyed this day and I’m so glad that I chose to go with a guide. Thank you TripAdvisor and thank you Ayoub. Strongly recommend this tour with him.

Don’t miss this tour with Gouda! - We were picked up at our hotel in the morning and spent an incredible day with our guide, Gouda and driver, Ibrahim. We toured all of the sites in chronological order and everything was explained so well. We are a family of 7 with kids aged 9-17 and he captivated the attention of all of us. Gouda’s depth of knowledge was really impressive and he shared so many pieces of history with us. I also loved hearing about the engineering feats of the sites as well. Gouda also brought us for a wonderful lunch and made sure to get the best photos. Our camel ride by the Great Pyramid was incredible. Ibrahim was a wonderful driver and we appreciated talking with him as well. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone as our family loved every minute.

Great day tour of the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara with great guide and driver - Wonderful tour of the Pyramids with fantastic guide. We had Mimo as our guide and Hossam as our driver. Both were amazing. Mimo was so enthusiastic about the places we visited and went above and beyond to make sure we got to see what we wanted and got great photos. He was happy to tailor aspects of the tour to suit us, which added to a great experience. A special thanks to Hossam who handled the chaos and mayhem of the Giza traffic so well and got us around safe and sound. This wasn't a 'hard sell' tour and we weren't forced to go to shops and places we had no interest in, we set the itinerary and with Mimo it was an enjoyable way to see the Great Pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara
