Fantastic experience - Just go for it. It is The BEST lifetime experience. Moustafa our tour guide and Mohamed our driver were a legend. They were patient, and so professional.
Mustafa was the best guide I ever dealt with. He took amazing pictures of me and my husband and didn't rush us out. He made sure we were enjoying the trip.
We went for Giza pyramids then did the camel Ride. The choice was amazing. Ahmed led our camels and offered to take fantastic pictures that without any doubt looked like they have been taken by a professional photographer.
Thr Quad bike was a must try and I believe not all tourists know abt it. Mahmoud was leading the Quad biked was fantastic. He made sure we were safe and didn't rush us out at all. He offered also to take our pictures which were again stunning and looked like we had them by s professional photographer.
Overall it was a fantastic day. Worth every penny. Thank you Mustafa.

Giza Pyramid Tour - Mustafa was a very good man. He was so friendly and helpful. He was very well educated about the tour and he allowed us to experience Egyptian food. My younger sibling is normally fussy when it comes to food but we all enjoyed everything he gave us. He also helped us to avoid the scammers and gave us advise regarding them. I would definitely recommend him to any family or friends that visit Egypt and will book with him if I visit again. ☺️☺️

It was worth it! - Sensational! Guide Mustafa and the driver were super attentive, explained very well the activities. I hired in English, because it was the only option, but I managed great communication, including some phrases in Portuguese and Spanish. Nothing the translator couldn't solve. Guides made the extra stop I requested. The camel ride was super fun and the camel guide took great pictures. The camel pot was deserved. Tour on the site of the pyramids within the expected. Value of tickets is salty (check before, especially to join within them, price tabled). ATV tour within the expected, but it is in the desert behind the site of the pyramids at the end of the afternoon. Guides held a stop for lunch at the place they suggested. Also extra stops at the shop of towels, oils and papyrus, but it is not mandatory to buy anything. We stayed for about six hours in the company of the guides! For the value of the tour super recommend!

A fun packed day! - I had an amazing time today. We started the day at the pyramids where Mustafa provided an excellent and detailed history lesson about the pyramids and I learned so much about the brush history of the ancient remains and very important facts about civilization, and he is also the BEST photographer. It was very thoughtful of him to provide water also. Always felt safe with him and he was very respectful and patient which I appreciated.
Ahamad the driver was very good at getting us from one place to the next safely through “the organized chaos” of Cairos traffic.
The camel ride was fun, but just an FYI lean back when the camels are standing up 😋
The shops we went to were top quality and I was able to buy some beautiful souvenirs to bring back home.
We finished the day with the amazing ATV tour where Mahmoud took amazing pictures and had the best time brrrp brrrping in the desert with the pyramids as a backdrop 🫶🏾
