Giza experience! - We had Eman as our tour guide, the day started with a lot of fog ( happens during winter time) and Eman was still able to take some amazing photos for us. She is knowledgeable and we felt we had a good balance of having a guide and also having time to ourselves. The only difference from the itinerary was our lunch. Itinerary said lunch with view over the pyramids but we had it somewhere else with mixed grill. We didn’t mind as our hotel looks over the pyramid anyway. Could be because we goose mixed grill place instead of the other one. So if you want to have lunch with pyramids view, maybe check with the guide first/ overall we felt safe, no one bothered us while we were with Eman and had a great experience. ☺️ We loved Sakkara, was much more quiet than Giza and it was a beautiful site! A must visit!

Just perfect. - Our guild Amro is a keen connoisseur of his country, of incredible kindness and benevolence. I usually never take a guide when I visit a country, I have been strongly advised for Egypt. I don't regret it, we've learned a lot. I highly recommend

Zenab & Am made us feel welcome and did everything they could to make our day special special. - I would recommend this tour. Judge for yourself if you are pleased. It was more than either of us expected. Pleasantly exhausted at the end of the day. I

Solo layover - Great experience! It’s amazing how much I was able to see in 1 day. Truly appreciate my tour guides focus on getting me back to the airport on time and how on point the driver was about picking us up and getting us to the next location. Also got great pictures!

Fantastic experience! - My husband and I took this 8-hour tour that included the pyramids, the museum and a couple of other things. The tour started with the pyramids, we started early to avoid the crowds and it was the best decision. Our tour guide Zenab and our driver Ibrahim were fantastic. They took us to all the places around the pyramids, did an excellent presentation on the history of the site and made sure we were not harassed by local vendors. Then, we went to do a camel ride with a very nice local man, the ride was definitely an experience and I recommend anyone try it at least once. It was awesome! We the. Went to see the sphinx ans took really good pictures there. After the first site, we went to a couple of markets where we learned about cotton, papyrus and oils. They took us to a nice restaurant with delicious local foods before going to the Egyptian museum. The museum was very interesting and our guide did a great job going over the most important periods of Egyptian history. After a long day, we were drove back to our hotel. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a great local experience in Cairo.

An unforgettable time with a great guide, food, and the magical history of Cairo! - Wow, wow, wow! I was SO happy to have booked this experience and to have had the pleasure of being with our guide, Zaneb. We did this tour on our second day in Egypt. After completing it, it felt like we had already done so much without being there long. It also gave us such a good lay of the land. Zaneb was extremely knowledgeable on all information. The car we rode in was very clean and comfortable. The lunch that was had during this tour was some of the best food I had during our trip in Egypt. This tour is worth every penny!

Disappointing visit which could have been amazing - Pickup was scheduled for 09:00, wasn’t collected until after midday. Was trying to make contact from previous day using the WhatsApp number provided but no response from Trip Adviser or local guide. Finally got answer from local organisation after 9 o’clock and they were not even notified by Trip Advisor of the booking. Guide was eventually contacted at nearby 10 o’clock ( he sent me a copy of the message to prove it and show it was not his fault) . Pick up driver went to wrong hotel. No communication to say what the arrangements were with the driver and his English was limited. Rushed from place to place. I had to buy entry tickets to pyramids myself using my own Visa card even though it was all paid as part of the package and then get the money back from the guide. Guide managed to persuade security to let us into a pyramid and was constantly shouted at to hurry up. Got about 2 minutes at the Sphinx and no time for photo kissing the sphinx. No time for the 30min camel ride included. Didn’t get to do the distant view of the Pyramids to get the special photo of holding a pyramid as the pyramids park was closing. Not a 5* lunch, 3 star at best. Missed half of the time allocated to the tour and Trip Advisor only refunded 10%. Very very disappointing and Trip Advisor should be more helpful.
