Great experience - Sayed Mahmoud and Hossam gave us an incredible tour. They took us to various different locations and told us the best place for pictures. They even gave us drinks and snacks even though it was Ramada which was very generous.

Great tour for just pyramid structures, recommend! - Just what I needed. Tour guide was great at taking pictures. I just wanted to visit all the pyramid sites in the Giza area without the side tracts of linen shops, camel rides, etc. Was able to see all the major attractions in a clean new car. If you already know about the pyramids and just want to see them in person this is your tour, great value in my opinion!

An absolute must - Brilliant day - we were picked up by Abdul our driver and picked up our guide Hamdi near the pyramids. Nothing too much trouble for them and spent as long as we liked at each place. Lunch was good, but absolutely packed - a couple of coach trips there too, buffet style but Abdul and Hamdi managed to get a table for us. If I were to do it again I would recommend not booking the optional lunch and getting your driver/guide to take you somewhere they recommend instead.

It's a wonderful journey. - Our tour guide Sayed is a very enthusiastic person with good photography skills. We use the most efficient way to visit various attractions. We were lucky to have his help on the journey and had a great time. Our driver Ahmed is also a nice person. Overall, I highly recommend taking this trip.

Average experience - The guide‘s English was rather poor. He could speak some texts but his pronounciation was not good, he was generally passive and ge could not answer many questions (because of his poor language skills).

Great at arranging tours but the staff need to be more attentive - The Good: Easy Communication and Management: Organizing and communicating with the team was straightforward and hassle-free. Their system was user-friendly and responsive, making planning smoother. Variety of Services: They offered a wide range of services, which was quite impressive and provided a one-stop solution for various needs. The Bad: Missed Balloon Ride Scheduling: There was a significant hiccup when the staff member forgot to schedule my balloon ride in Luxor. Although they managed to find me a slot eventually, it wasn't the timing I preferred, which was quite disappointing. Rushed Pyramid Tour: The guide assigned for the Giza Pyramid tour seemed to be in a hurry, rushing us through the visit. I didn't get the chance to fully immerse myself and enjoy the pyramids as I had hoped.

Great Sights - Poor Guide - This was our first experience in Egypt and perhaps the worst experience. Our guide Fatima was not interested in being our guide or helping us have a good time. All that she wanted from us was a tip. This was the first sentence she told us when we entered the car. That’s when I knew it would be a bad time. 1. She tried to charge us 1000EGP for a horse ride at the Panorama point for the Giza pyramids when we were literally offered the ride for 300EGP by the horse man. She made sure she pressurised the horse rider in Arabic to make sure we would not get the ride at the previously quoted price. 2. We wanted to spend more time at the Great Pyramid but were rushed and only after we put our foot down we were allowed to spend some time there. 3. We were taken to the Memphis and Saqqara temples where we were charged 50 EGP per bottle of water. The standard price is 10 EGP. 4. We wanted to spend some time at the step pyramid which we were not allowed. 5. We were persuaded to not go into the pyramid in Dahshur saying it was bad and not worth it all because our tour guide wanted us to hurry up and let her go home. 6. Kept hounding us to buy a kartoosh with our name on it for around $30 per kartoosh. We felt that the lady was not really interested in showing us around but just wanted to con us out of money at the tourist traps of the Papyrus factory, horse ride, camel ride, etc. All this after spending around £100 on the one day trip which would perhaps have been much cheaper had I booked it locally.
