A day to remember!!! - Gamil and the whole tour were amazing! Gamil is very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt and the pyramids. He made us feel welcome, safe and most importantly he made us laugh and enjoy ourselves all day. Don’t be put off by less reviews, he worked as a tour guide for years and recently decided to start his own tour business and is growing his reviews. He even asked a head scarf shop owner to give us a better deal as he thought the price was high and the shop owner agreed and lowered the price. You can rest easy knowing he will take care of you all day and he takes AMAZING photos!!!

Well planned out, insightful, and safe tour! - BOOK THIS TOUR!!! Gamil and his driver were amazing to us from start to finish. We wanted to see the pyramids without the worry of being scammed or hustled. Gamil was very accommodating with the pick up time. The car was clean and had great AC. The whole trip was planned incredibly. We learned so much from Gamil and he takes the BEST pictures! He made sure we felt safe and happy the entire tour. He took us to the camel ride and ATV and made sure we knew what to expect and he was waiting for us with waters after each time.
Could not recommend him more! He’s been doing tours for years now and he’s the best at it!

Visit to the Pyramids in Egypt 🇪🇬 - ### An Unforgettable Journey Through Time
Visiting the Pyramids of Giza was a dream come true. The sheer magnitude and historical significance of these ancient structures are awe-inspiring.
### Arrival and First Impressions
Upon arriving, the sight of the Great Pyramid of Khufu towering over the desert landscape took my breath away. It's hard to grasp the scale and craftsmanship until you're standing right in front of it.
### The Tour
We opted for a guided tour and his name was Gamil, which I highly recommend. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history to life with fascinating stories and insights. Walking around the pyramids and the construction techniques used over 4,500 years ago was captivating.
### The Sphinx
The Great Sphinx, with its enigmatic expression and monumental scale, was another highlight. Standing guard over the Giza Plateau, it’s a symbol of the mysteries of ancient Egypt.
### Practical Tips
- **Timing:** Visit early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds.
- **Attire:** Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen.
- **Hydration:** Carry plenty of water, as it can get quite hot.
- **Guided Tour:** Enhance your experience with a knowledgeable guide.
### Final Thoughts
The Pyramids of Egypt are more than just historical landmarks; they are a testament to human ingenuity and the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations. My visit was a blend of education, wonder, and adventure—truly an experience of a lifetime.

10/10 CAIRO TOUR - We had the best day day in Cairo with Gamil.
I was quite nervous to be visiting such a busy city especially in the June heat, but Gamil put me immediately at ease. The tour bus was airconditioned with cold water that we stopped for multiple times during the day.
Our group of 4 visited the pyramids and the sphinx first where Gamil took us to unique places around the site to take beautiful photos that he magically managed to make look like we were alone. He steered any hustlers away from our group making us feel safe and unhurried all day.
He encouraged us to do things we were a little unsure of without being pushy at all. We braved fears of tight spaces and went inside the pyramids that we otherwise would have skipped. An experience we will never forget.
I was personally really nervous to drive an ATV alone but Gamil made sure I felt safe and comfortable before we started and now it’s one of my favourite Egypt memories.
We rode camels around the pyramids which was surprisingly peaceful. Gamil helped us get scarves beforehand making sure we didn’t over pay and left us with beautiful souvenirs.
With the extra time we had in the day Gamil took us to stores that we were interested in for, Egyptian oils, cottons and papyrus where we got to learn about different crafts in a relaxed environment. The Egyptian oils is a must if you have time.
We can’t thank you enough Gamil! Best guide ever!

Great tour and guide - What an amazing day and tour!
Gamil was a super knowledgeable, friendly and fun guide.
Our group of two men and two woman felt extremely safe moving through Cairo.
Gamil made space for us everywhere to take photos without other people in the background and took some of our favourite photos himself with super thoughtful locations and poses around the pyramids and sphinx.
He steered all the hustlers away from our group and advocated for our space allowing us to move comfortably around the sites.
He let us move at our speed through the day and shared so many interesting facts as we went.
He provided plenty of cold water throughout the day and the constant small trips in the tour bus were a welcome reprieve from the heat.
Would recommend Gamil to anyone visiting Ciaro whether it's your first trip or your 10th.
