Best tour in Egypt. - Our guide, Heba and driver were wonderful, flexible and very skilled. It was one of the best tours I’ve ever had- particularly in Egypt- where I spent 7 years 50 years ago. We saw and learned alot, but we’re not overwhelmed or exhausted.

Great pyramids tour with Sam - Mostafah contacted us through his guide to remind us to take our time and to not hesitate to ask th eguide for more information or photos. Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable and was always offering to take the best pictures at the best spots. Really nice tour. We would recommend. You see all the beautiful pyramids of Egypt and you can enter in some though if you're even a little claustrophobic, I'd recommend to just go down to half of the stairs to experience it. Safe trip!

Amazing must add this tour to your trip! - This tour was fantastic! They delivered all that was described and more! Sam is so knowledgeable, super helpful and friendly. Our driver was an excellent driver and very friendly. The owner reached out by phone to personally welcome us and thank us for our choosing their tour. I am very impressed with the personal touch and the quality of the people working for the company. I have done many day trip tours via Tripadvisor and Viator app and this tour has by far been the best one yet! I highly recommend!

Amazing Pyramids Experience - We had a fantastic experience on this tour. We asked to start late due to arriving very late the night before, and the owner was happy to change the plans to accommodate. On the tour itself, the van and driver (Mahmoud) were exceptional; and our guide Mo was extremely knowledgeable. He showed us all of the highlights of the Giza and Sakkara sites (we didn't go to Dahshur due to time constraints) and took some great photos for us as well. This being our first day in Egypt, we especially appreciated him giving us some advice on the dos and donts of a tourist in Cairo. He took us to a great, authentic lunch stop as well. Overall, this was a fantastic tour. In fact, we liked it so much that we decided to hire GoTravelEgypt to provide a tour of Old Cairo and Islamic Cairo the very next day. Yet again, we had a great guide and memorable experience.

Amazing Two Days with Go Travel Egypt and Emy - We had an amazing time with Go Travel Egypt and Emy!! The General Manager, Mostafa, was more than welcoming and super easy to talk to while discussing the details of our tours and accommodating our special schedule over the e-mail. He also checked in constantly to make sure that we are happy with our tours and time at Egypt. Our professional guide, Emy, was knowledgable, helpful, and accommodating. With a background in Egyptian history and ample experience, she showed us what Egypt and Cairo are all about -- a truly fascinating and unqiue experience. She was able to answer all of our questions and was able to recommend great photo taking spots to record the memories. We are grateful and extremely appreciative of the quality of the tour, and would strongly recommend both Mostafa and Emy to anyone who's look for a travel company and a guide.

Sam was an exceptional tour guide... - <p>Sam was an exceptional tour guide, easily the best Egyptian guide I've had. His deep knowledge of Egyptian history was phenomenal. This particular tour highlights both the touristy and not as frequented areas of Cairo and nearby destinations, truly a great balance especially to see if you're on a quick trip to the area. There were not many tourists in the areas of Sakkara and Dahshur which was a nice break from the common crowds. In Dahshur, I had the option of venturing down into the Red Pyramid at no cost..I was just one of three people there! Highly recommended!</p>

Ali is the best Tour Guide in Giza! - We came all the way from San Antonio Texas to experience Ancient Egypt and Ali delivered on everything. So knowledgeable teaching us about every site, showing us every nook and cranny that Egypt has to offer and keeping any shady vendors away from us. If you travel to Cairo you basically have to do this tour or you are not doing Egypt right. Just do it. Happy Texans signing off. Thanks again!

Great tour with fun and knowledgeable guide, made for a perfect day! - My wife and I have been planning a trip to Egypt for the last year or so. It has been a lifelong dream for both of us to go there based on our love of history and her dream to become an archaeologist. When we travel, we tend to do things on our own and we had this in mind for the pyramids. A few days before, we started to second guess ourselves, and ended up booking our tour with Go Travel Egypt via Get Your Guide. We are so glad we did this! The tour is perfectly organized, giving us plenty of time everywhere, while keeping us on track and driving us between them. A big plus for this tour is that it includes Dahshur (many tours exclude this for the full-day option with Giza). This tour included it, and you could tell our guide, Sam, was really happy it did based on how amazing that site is. Sam was tremendous - knowledgeable, charismatic, and truly passionate about his country's cultural heritage. Also a master photographer ;) Everything about the day was great, and we accomplished everything we wanted to do. Would absolutely recommend them to family and friends!

Faultless guide and driver, large clean minibus no hassle on street - I would like personally to thank this tour operator Moustapha as I’ve been coming to Egypt for over 10 years now and this was by far the best tour I’ve ever had, visiting places we have not seen and with a tour guide who was exemplary. Couldn’t fault him on anything. Charming, encyclopaedic knowledge, considerate and bent over backward to tailor the itinerary to our own needs. He is a real treasure and I will be certain to use this company again when I am next in Cairo with a group wanting to do a tour. The driver was also lovely - professional, welcoming and just did his job quietly and let the tour guide get on with his. Visits to the pyramids are often ruined by unofficial sellers trying to sell you stuff or take photos and charging money for it aggressively. With our guide Sherif, it was as if they weren't there. Icing on the cake, he arranged quad biking for my kids on the sand dunes around the pyramids at the end of the day which saved us loads of time and ££. We had the whole bus to ourselves!
