Domestic Flight from Hurghada for a day trip to Cairo. - We were staying on a week’s long holiday in Hurghada and decided we wanted to take a day trip to see the Pyramids - but at our own pace (so we independently booked our own flights). This specific trip offers exactly that! Not only was Michael a fantastic Egyptologist and guide, but he was an ever better photographer! Not only did he know everything about the history of the pyramids and sphinx, but he also knew every angle for the perfect picture shot! The tour was excellent from start to finish. Michael reached out via WhatsApp the day before to confirm our flight number and expected arrival time at the airport. We were then met promptly by he and our driver and made our way to Giza. As we drove through Cairo, Michael provided us with explanations around buildings, the history of the city and the construction of New Cairo. No question was too much hassle for Michael, he was more than happy to answer and it is clear he has a real passion for his country’s history. We had a great guided tour around the pyramids and an explanation behind them, as well as some great photographs. After this, we then did an organised camel ride around the desert and pyramids before driving on to the sphinx. After plenty of sightseeing, Michael took us to visit a perfumery and a papyrus factory. Something I want to stress is that neither place felt pushy for our business, nor was there an expectation for us to buy something. Rather, it was more of an informed guide and demonstration behind the making process of the oil-based perfumes and papyrus (and then of course, an opportunity to purchase if you wished to). From here, it was then time for lunch and it was at a great spot. You could see all 3 pyramids from the terrace whilst you dined on local cuisine. It was a very surreal feeling. After lunch, it was then time for us to head back to the airport for our return flight to Hurghada - which we made with plenty of time. A 10/10 experience for us and we would recommend this to anyone that wishes to experience the pyramids and sphinx whilst in Egypt. Michael made this an excellent experience.

Tour of one stop from Cairo - During a long stop at Cairo Airport, we decided to explore the city. We entrusted our luggage to the car and had a fantastic experience with our Guide, Nour! She really showed us the surroundings and made us feel at home. She was an extremely knowledgeable teacher! We visited the pyramids and the sphinx, took a camel ride, visited a cotton shop, experienced writing in ancient style, took a look at a perfume store, and had lunch with an amazing view of the pyramids.

Great stopover in Cairo - During a long layover at Cairo airport, we took the opportunity to have a bit of an explore. We felt completely at ease leaving our luggage in the car since we had absolute trust in our guide, Ashraf. He was absolutely brilliant, showing us around and making us feel right at home. Ashraf's insights and knowledge were exceptional, ensuring we had an amazing time!

Quick visit to the Pyramids of Giza - Punctuality in airport pickup. Our Manal Tour Guide contacted us the day before which gave us confidence from the start. Manal is charming, she speaks Spanish very well, she guided us and accompanied us to all the sites, her explanation about the construction of the pyramids was simple and clear. Super attentive with the whole family.

Pyramids Land Tours - We had a fantastic tour of the sites and the city. Our guide, Ashraf, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the Pyramids and the surrounding structures, keeping us informed at every step. Our driver, Mohamed, was amazing, from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off, sharing many interesting stories about the people and culture of Egypt. We highly recommend them both.

Perfect guided tour - Both tour guide and driver were the most wonderful people. Me and my girlfriend got a private tour with with just the best tour guide with 20 years experience, and the most polite driver. Both immediately became friends, the driver made us feel really safe and the guide made us feel comfortable. We needed to catch a flight back, and they had full control over that and we got to descide the time spent on everything. Really enjoyed the camel ride I at first did'nt want. Perfect day! Only regret, didnt tip more

Nice quick layover trip to pyramids - Micheal the guide was very friendly and informative. Driver was great. Tour is exactly as described. It is quick though as there wasn't much traffic sand not a ton of people at the sites. I got picked up at the airport at 830am and was back by 1pm (on a Thursday).

Amazing tour even though we only had 4 1/2 hrs available! - Zeinab and Ahmed were amazing. Zeinab was with us wherever we went. It made us feel safe, as she was able to give us clear direction and make the most use of our time. We only had about 4 1/2 hours to spend. But in that time, she was able to help us see all of the pyramids, to see the Sphinx, to go inside a pyramid, to ride camels at the pyramids, to get lunch, to go and see a perfume factory, to go and see a papyrus store. She gave us much background information of the city of Cairo, and we were able to travel through many different areas. We had expressed that we wanted to stop and take a picture of the Nile river, and they accommodated that. They were very good to us, even buying us each a gift of a small bottle of perfume. We really enjoyed our time with them, it was just a shame that we only had a short period of time. She had planned on a full eight hour day with us, but we just did not have that time as our flight required us be back at the airport at 2:30. So from 10 o’clock to 230 we did all of this. Amazing tour! I would highly recommend this tour!
