Very nice experience! - The Giza and Saqqara pyramids are amazing and our tour guide Hamzel gave some very good context about their history and building. The lunch break was in a nice restaurant serving traditional food.

A nice experience on a sunny day with Mariam.S - A nice experience on a sunny day! A day before I got the information I needed for the next day. Pick up was in time - a good start into a nice time. After visiting the Egypt Museum (Detailed explanation of the masterpieces + free time I like) we stop to experience a parfume and Papyrus Shop. Finally we visit the Pyramids. Based on detailed explanation I got a impression about the Dimension of the pyramids.
In Summary it was a great day Mariam.S.

Would recommend habibi Mostafa - One of the most unique experiences i’ve ever had . We got to visit the most historic places in Egypt and learn a lot about their history. Mustafa, our guide, was the friendliest guy i’ve met , he knew everything and explained all the details perfectly

An unforgettable day in Egypt with the amazing Omar! - We had the great pleasure of spending a full day with Omar — our guide, Egyptologist, and photographer all in one! Omar is an absolutely fantastic person: incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, fun, and so caring. He shared Egypt’s rich history in an engaging, easygoing way and made sure every one of us in our small group of five felt well taken care of throughout the day.
What touched us the most was how kindly Omar looked after my 82-year-old father, who has always dreamed of seeing the pyramids. Despite his difficulty walking, Omar made sure he could join every part of the experience — something that means the world to us as a family.
In addition to guiding and telling us about each site, Omar photographed us throughout the entire day and later sent us dozens of beautiful family and portrait photos at no extra cost. He even showed my 10-year-old daughter how to pose and take lovely pictures herself, which she absolutely loved!
We enjoyed a day packed with incredible experiences: visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx, riding camels by the pyramids, going inside a pyramid, having a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, visiting a papyrus workshop, sampling spices at a local shop, and exploring all of Saqqara. It was also a huge bonus that all entrance tickets were included through GetYourGuide/NiceTours, so we could skip the lines and make the most of our time.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour — and especially Omar. If you can, request him as your guide. He made our day in Egypt truly magical and unforgettable!

Love! Best views, photos and guides! - I’ve traveled a lot, and I can honestly say this was the best tour I’ve ever had in my life. Hadeer and Abdulrahman were absolutely amazing — so kind, welcoming, and made me feel completely comfortable from the start. The tour was incredibly detailed and thoughtfully planned, and Hadeer was beyond patient, taking the most beautiful photos of me (seriously, she’s got an eye!). I enjoyed every second of it and walked away with memories I’ll never forget. You will not regret booking with them — it was truly unforgettable.
