Fantastic tour with Donia! - The pyramids were amazing and Donia our guide made everything so seamless. From the hotel pickup, to acquiring tickets, avoiding any hassles from random people and answering every single question we had about the history of the place. She was very knowledgeable and had such a great attitude towards the day it really allowed us to enjoy our tour. Gave us all the tips and insights for any other questions we had regarding the pyramids or our stay in Egypt. Would book another tour with her again!

Great Half Day Tour of the Giza Pyramids - Great half day tour with Summer, she provided interesting commentary and was happy to answer our questions. We visited inside the queen’s pyramid instead of Khufu’s which was a good tip from Summer, a lesser climb (15m vs 100m) for the same chamber experience and half the price. We also had the chamber to ourselves which I’d imagine isn’t the case for the larger pyramids. We took the camel ride to see the view of all 9 pyramids. We were a little apprehensive but when in ‘Cairo’, and it was really worthwhile and we are pleased we did.
Our driver was also great, on time, always nearby and navigated the chaotic roads well.
Finally, we visited a papyrus and oil shop. They are interesting but can be skipped to spend more time at the pyramids.

Recommended tour with Anaan - We had an unforgettable half day trip to Giza pyramids. It was all thanks to our amazing guide Anaan and our skilled driver.
Our trip included the great pyramids and the Sphinx which was awe -inspiring. We Enjoyed a camel ride which was an unforgettable experience. Anaan spoke perfect English and had good historical information. Anaan was very nice to keep our 5 year old daughter and keep her busy with stories while we took a trip inside the pyramid.

Short and sweet experience - Oh what an experience! It really worth the effort. Amany the guide and Ahmed the chauffeur were just amazing. Ahmed just stands out, navigating the traffic while respecting other road users like nobody else around him. Amany was the guide that you want, helping you avoid what needs to be avoided. It has been a day to remember!!

Incredible tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Summer was knowledgable, kind and was excellent with our tricky 6 year old. She also took great photos for us!
She helped us navigate what we should and shouldn’t see depending on our circumstances and perfectly explained things to make it interesting for the kids. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!

Great tour guide, great tour! - Once booked, lots of contact by Guide (Ali) on where to meet and what time. Greeted in hotel by a very friendly Ali who took us to car.
Lots of information given on history of pyramids and area generally.
Throughout Ali was knowledgable, friendly and funny making sure we got the best from the tour.
He even advised on what amount to tip the camel guide!
Went for the lunch option which was very good traditional fare.
Overall, an excellent half day. Thanks so much!
