A fantastic experience - Ideal tour to see and experience a lot in one day. We really enjoyed the visit to the pyramids and the sphinx, the trip to Sakara and Memphis. A great driver and a good guide made it a wonderful, carefree and educational day.

Wonderful experience, interesting places with an excellent Guide. - The tour has been fantastic, both the driver and the Guide, Hager, an excellent hostess. I stand out from her who speaks excellent Spanish, delivers very good information from all the places we visit, always pending if you understand everything commented and answers all my questions. Also always concerned about my well-being and safety. It has been the day I have enjoyed in Egypt after a week of different visits, nice pictures, an exquisite lunch. In short 100% recommended the experience. Many congratulations to Hager for being a great professional

Highly recommended, congratulations - Super prepared guide, very kind and spoke very good Italian!
The tour is highly recommended, it allowed us to learn about Egyptian history in depth thanks to the help of an expert Egyptologist.
It has not pressured us of any kind nor led us into scams or markets where everything costs as much as we have read in other reviews.

An experience like no other. Must visit - Where shall I begin three of us went my mum dad and me their son we were picked up from our hotel at 1:20 and we’re greeted by Mahmoud and Beshoy Samy we were given a goodie bag with snacks and a explanation of what’s happening next we drove towards Cairo and had breaks in between the trip where we were able to use the toilets and have some food we reached the great pyramids and we met our tour guide Amir. We then got out and Amir gave us a brief on what’s going to happen if you have purchased the tickets to enter the pyramids you go inside in this case we haven’t but some people in our tour group did Amir then shows the people where to start queuing and for the rest that don’t want to go in have roughly an hour to walk around the pyramids and lets us know where to meet him. After everyone got back together we get picked up by the same drivers Mahmoud and Beshoy Samy then we go to the dessert to a viewing point this is also where you will get on your camels. After the camels the drivers take you towards the sphinx your tour guide takes you through and explains the history behind the area and the sphinx pyramids etc. after we spend some time at the sphinx we get picked up again and go for lunch food was amazing and the Egyptian people are so nice. After we have all eaten with the drivers we head towards the museum which is full of interesting history and items that have been discovered from the pyramids. Overall this experience was amazing as I got to see the Egyptian lifestyle along the journey the pyramids etc I could carry on and me and my family felt completely safe during the whole journey as well as how organised it was just want to say a big thank you to the organiser, the drivers (Mahmoud,Beshoy Samy ) and the tour guide Amir. Must do !!!

Best tour of Giza - Amazing private tour with the best guide Mustafa!
He shared with us so many interresting facts and informations, but at the same time he always tried to not annoy us like a teacher :d
He was the most professional and friendly guide!
Totally recommend him and also the driver that was with us.
Over all, everything was great, the tour was all organised from the pick up moment until the end ( they pick you up at the hotel).
Totally recommend this experience
