Ask for ALI! - Ali is the greatest! I actually did two tours this month. One was just for me and it was so good I brought my mom back to join me a couple weeks later. Everything was professional, punctual, and fun! Would absolutely book again.

Wonderful Giza Pyramid adventure - Out guide Ailli (Al-Lee) was terrific. He knew just where to go to get the best pictures and avoid the chaos. He steered us clear of the tourist traps and was extremely knowledgeable on the Acient Egyptian History. His English was excellent and we throughly enjoyed his enthusiasm and humor. He made it fun and we felt very safe with him.

Great visit to the pyramids - The pyramids and the sphinx experience was 10/10. Upon getting picked up from our hotel, our guide Amany made us feel welcome and throughout the trip was super patient with us. She explained interesting facts about the pyramids/how they were made - her being an amazing photographer is a bonus point! Would definitely recommend Amany as she made the experience extra personal.

Amazing trip! AMANY is a great tour guide - Amazing trip! So organised and straight forward from start to finish. From booking online, to being picked up from the airport with ease and to an amazing tour with our lovely guide Amany. She was so lovely to have in our company, she even bought us refreshments for the hot weather. Very informative and made us feel comfortable and safe. To finish we was taken to a local restaurant to have a traditional eygptian meal which was really tasty. We really enjoyed the trip and we would 100 percent recommend.

Risk-free trip with unforgettable memory - It was perfect tour during layover. I was arrived Cairo 10AM and departured from Cairo 10PM. During 12 hours, I wanted to avoid any unconfortable from fraud but also enjoyed Pyramid and Sphinx because I am not sure to come here again. This tour is just suitable for my intention. Mr. Maged and a driver care us over 6hours including lunch time. He picked up us from the Airport and dropped off to the Airport after finishing the tour. He has excellent knowledge about the pyramids and also Cairo. I appreciated to his team for giving us great memory which is unforgetable and risk-free trip.

Amazing one day Cairo experience in Giza and the Egyptian Museum with our tour guide Wael. - After spending 5 days cruising the Nile between Luxor and Aswan being hurried by every tour guide and bus driver and not being able to enjoy the historic site’s appropriately, it was so refreshing to enjoy our day in Cairo with a professional tour guide that was considerate, competent, knowledgeable of the subject and easy to understand. Gem Explore Egypt changed our perception of our travel thanks to the fantastic tour day we had with our tour guide Wael, who was highly recommended by a friend that had travelled to Cairo recently. Wael and his very professional driver picked us up at the Cairo airport in a very clean SUV and helped us with every single detail of our trip, from stopping at our hotel for a quick luggage check-in, to excellent advise on how to spend our only day in Cairo, to recommendations about nightlife activities and getting to the best spots for pictures, Wael had our backs. After our time with Wael, we are even thinking about planning another trip to Cairo exclusively. I think there are so many great activities that can be experienced in Cairo and it’s vicinities that it would merit spending a whole week just in the area. If you are planning to travel to Cairo, we recommend Gem Explore Egypt as a great company to use as your tour guide. Also, they are very approachable and will give you advice before you arrive, so you can adjust your itinerary based on their feedback. Thank you Wael and Gem Explore Egypt for such a wonderful time.
