Giza Pyramids - I felt the Giza Pyramids were highly commercialized, however, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend using a Guide, as they provide all the information you need and enhance the experience.

Pyramid tour - Our tour with Mina was informative and fun. He seemed to enjoy the city, the historical sites and experience as much as we did. We would totally recommend Mina and our driver Mohammad. Thanks, shokran!

Private pyramids and sphinx tour - The tour was amazing, and our guide Mina was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and he had the answer to our questions. Mina then took us for a lovely lunch which was delicious. Really good tour and a great way to see and learn about the pyramids would recommend this to anyone coming and make sure to ask for Mina!

A great way to see the pyramids and beat the crowds - Great trip with guide Noha. We got out early and were always ahead of the big groups. Started with a climb into the Gt Pyramid, not for the claustrophobic or infirm, then the pyramids, Sphinx and early lunch. Guide was charming and the minibus was clean and well appointed. Well worth doing though it requires a 7.30am rendezvous

A day at the pyramids - If you want the best experience visiting the pyramids, make sure to go with Mahmoud. His knowledge of the finer details of the pyramids is uncanny. His passion about the conservation of the Egyptian culture and heritage is evident. A day to remember!

Ancient wonders - Guide - Amazing tour guide. Mahmoud is an Egyptologist and the friendliest guy you will meet! He goes out of his way to make the experience worthwhile. Would recommend him without a doubt. Pyramids and sphinx - incredible in person. A must see. Drive - comfortable, friendly driver. Very accommodating.

Private tour. - Amazing experience to see in person. Mahmoud customised my tour to do exactly what I wanted and provided great insight into history of ancient egypt, was a pleasure picking his brain. I would recommend private tour over group tours 100%. Our driver Osama would drop myself & Mahmoud off to different spots to explore, once done, Osama would pick us up within 2 minutes and onto the next. Was a crazy experience crawling through the passageways of the great Pyramid of Giza. (Expext sore legs 2 days after) Mahmoud customised the experience at the end to visit Golden Eagle in Giza & eat some local cuisine. MUST DO: Green Falafel!!!

Excellent tour and amazing guide. - This tour was excellent. Our guide Mina and our driver Honi were awesome. Mina's knowledge of Egyptian history and culture was outstanding. He taught us so much about the pyramids and the ancient way of life. Nothing was too much trouble for Mina, and his english was very good, there were no communication issues at all. He was also interested in hearing about us and our culture. I recommend booking Mina for your pyramid tour, you won't regret it.
