Tree of Life Day Tours - Sounds like we had an awesome time exploring the pyramids with Ashraf as our guide! It's pretty rare to find someone so knowledgeable and eager to share not just the ancient history but also what's going on in modern Egypt. From what you said, Ashraf really went above and beyond, taking photos and making sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. That's the mark of a great guide—someone who makes the experience memorable beyond just the sights. Props to the tour company for using WhatsApp to keep things smooth—it’s great that they’re using what works best to keep everyone informed. These little details can make a trip super easy and stress-free. Asking for Ashraf by name sounds like a pro tip for anyone wanting to explore Egypt. Having a guide who's not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about sharing his culture really sets this tour apart. Thanks for the recommendation—it's invaluable for anyone planning their own adventure to see the pyramids and wanting an experience that's truly top-notch!

Great tour! - Sounds like We had a bonzer experience exploring the pyramids with Ashraf as your guide! It’s rare to find someone so rich in knowledge and eager to share not just the ancient tales but also the skinny on modern life in Egypt. From the sound of it, Ashraf really went the extra mile, snapping photos and making sure you soaked up every moment without feeling like there was any rush. That’s the mark of a top-notch guide, someone who makes the experience memorable beyond just the sights. Good on the tour company for keeping things smooth with WhatsApp—it's ace that they're using what works best to keep everyone in the loop. It’s these little things that can make a trip easy and stress-free. Reckon asking for Ashraf by name is a hot tip for anyone looking to explore Egypt. Having a guide who’s not only knowledgeable but also has a fair dinkum passion for sharing his culture sounds like it truly sets this tour apart. Cheers for the recommendation – it’s gold for anyone planning their own adventure to see the pyramids and wanting an experience that’s a cut above the rest!

Unforgettable Adventure with Zenab - From the moment our day began, we knew we were in for a treat. Zenab, our incredible tour guide, paired with a fabulous driver, set the tone for what was to become an unforgettable experience. Their proficiency in English, combined with their willingness to capture our memories with countless photos, allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the beauty of our surroundings without a single worry. The highlights of our tour can be summed up in two words: punctuality and fun. From the start, Zenab and our driver were timely, ensuring every moment of our day was maximized for adventure and discovery. We never felt rushed; the tour progressed at our own pace, making it all the more enjoyable.

Egypt's Wonders Unveiled: A Day of Dreams - From the moment we were collected from our hotel to our return, the experience was nothing short of magical. Our tour with Tree of Life Tours, guided by the incomparable Ashraf, was a dream realised. Visiting the majestic Giza Pyramids and having the chance to kiss the Sphinx felt like stepping into a millennia-old tale of wonder. The day was perfectly capped off with a dinner on a Nile cruise, watching the enchanting sway of a belly dancer against the backdrop of Cairo's twinkling skyline. Highlights of Our Journey The seamless hotel pickup and the warm, knowledgeable company of Ashraf made us feel special and well-cared for throughout the day. Standing at the base of the great Pyramids of Giza, we were awestruck by the sheer magnitude and historical weight before us. Ashraf's insightful commentary brought stories of ancient pharaohs and their lasting legacies to life, making us feel connected to history in the most visceral way. Getting up close with the Sphinx was a moment of pure enchantment, offering a surreal interaction with one of Egypt's most iconic symbols. The day's adventure was brilliantly rounded off with a dinner cruise on the Nile. Drifting along the river, we were captivated by the belly dancer's performance, all while indulging in sumptuous cuisine. The Cairo skyline at dusk, a silhouette of minarets and palms, provided a breathtaking vista that will stay with us forever. Room for Improvement Despite the overwhelmingly positive experience, there was a slight hiccup with our pickup's timing. A more punctual start would have eased our eager anticipation. While Ashraf was a fount of knowledge, we hungered for even deeper dives into the historical significance of the Giza plateau, Sakkara, and the Dahshur Pyramids. Such enrichment would undoubtedly enhance the already splendid tour. In Closing Our day with Tree of Life Tours was a profound reminder of the awe-inspiring depth of human history and the enduring beauty of Egypt's cultural heritage. This experience wasn't just a tour; it was a heart-touching encounter with antiquity, presented with warmth and expertise by our guide, Ashraf. To anyone dreaming of an encounter with Egypt's ancient wonders, this tour is a must. It's not merely a passage through time; it's an immersion into the heart of awe and enchantment. Thank you, Ashraf, and thank you, Tree of Life Tours, for a day we will treasure always.

Pyramids Day-Tour - We had an excellent day exploring the pyramids. Our guide was great. He was highly professional and taught us a lot. We could not have been happier with him. We did feel slightly rushed at each of the stops. This was probably due to the number of sites and distance covered in the allotted time for the tour. We barely stopped at the Sphinx and only saw it from the road. We would recommend skipping the camel ride unless you really want to do it. Even though the itinerary lists a 30 minute camel ride, ours only lasted about five minutes. The camel handler was very uninterested, took some terrible pictures, and then asked for a big tip from each of us. In hindsight we wish we spent those few minutes elsewhere. We did take the time to go inside the Great Pyramid and the Red Pyramid and enjoyed both of them. The Red Pyramid especially takes some physical endurance maneuvering through the narrow passageway, but we felt like it added to the adventure. We do highly recommend this tour as a way to see the pyramids and learn a lot of history. However, if you want to have the time to wander around and thoroughly explore the sites, this might not be the best tour for you.

Amazing trip - This tour was amazing. We had the pleasure of having Fatima as our main tour guide, and Khalifa and Mahmood to accompany us in the evening of each day, all were great individuals. Fatima was great, always on time, very knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor. She was very flexible and changed the itinerary per our request a little to accommodate the additional mosque we wanted to see in Cairo and additional time we wanted to spend in Bazar. We had great conversations along the way from one site to the other which made even long distance driving in traffic pleasant. The driver was extremely patient and skillfull with navigating the traffic. Khalifeh showed us a restaurant with really good Koshari (Egyptian traditional food) and Mahmood took us to a coffee shop near Nile for a pleasant tea and sweet at the end of a very long day sightseeing. Overal, highly recommend this tour and all the awesome guides.

Dream Experience w/ a great tour guide - This tour was amazing. Seeing the pyramids and getting to go inside was a dream come true. Ibrahim was our tour guide for the second time on our trip and we were so happy about that. He is the best guide we had while in Egypt. He explained so much history and while driving to Dahshur and Saqqara explained the modern life in Egyptian villages. He took so many great pictures for us as well. We ran a little over our time but he did not act rushed or bothered by this at all. The company uses WhatsApp for communication, which is common in Egypt, and they were great and timely. I definitely recommend this tour company and to ask for Ibrahim as your tour guide. He is friendly, funny, laid back, and seems genuinely passionate about his job. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic Tour by Ashraf & Tree of Life - The trip exceeded all of our expectations. We were picked up 8am sharp from our hotel and right from the start Ashraf made us feel welcome and very comfortable. We had our tour around the Pyramids, Sphinx (including a camel ride), Saqqara (Step Pyramid & Tombs) and then had lunch with Ashraf before being taken back to our hotel. The tour was perfect, and Ashraf is a genuinely fantastic tour guide and a brilliant person. I can't recommend Tree of Life Tours more, and if you're booking, try and ask for Ashraf Zakhary specifically, I promise you won't be disappointed!

A very rewarding experience - If you've ever wanted the essential Egyptian experience, this is the way to do it. Khaled, our tour guide, were extremely knowledgeable and professional as well as flexible with respect to your preferred pacing through the day. Not a single question I had were left unanswered and i had quite a few of them; Khaled's English speaking skills we're perfect and being chauffeured around in a private car is by far the easiest way for a tourist like me to get around the mighty country of Egypt. Besides I've got the chance to experience a true hidden gem of Egypt's multitude of ancient monuments, Dashur felt like everything Egypt was supposed to be in my imagination, even more so than Giza. The majestic pyramids towering silently over the Saharan dunes, and far away from the big crowd of tourists, really allowed you to take a breath and just try to comprehend the vast size and great age of these structures. Not only did I have the chance to enter the tomb of the Red Pyramid but also to experience the peculiarly shaped Bent Pyramid. Although it was closed for maintenance when we visited and as such couldn't enter it, we did get the opportunity to wander around it, the best part being that we we're completely alone there. Being completely alone in the desert with just you and the pyramid made the experience very up close and personal in a way that is hard to describe with words, you really have to be there to understand what I mean. Definitely the high point not just on the tour, but on my whole stay in Egypt, the fact that food was included and that our planned tour could be amended a bit without extra cost to swap one planned attraction for another were just the icing on the cake. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough, it is guarantied to leave you satisfied.
