Exceptional Guide for Cairo’s Historic Sites - Mohaned Emad guided us through Cairo’s beautiful churches, mosques, bazaars, and museums with incredible knowledge and professionalism. Mohaned explained the history behind each site in a way that was easy to understand and very engaging. He was patient, caring, and truly made us feel taken care of throughout the day. We highly recommend Mohaned to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional tour guide in Egypt.

Cairo city tour with Mr. Mohaned Emad - We booked a tour for Cairo city with Mr. Mohaned Emad. Our tour was highly informational as Mr. Mohaned has great knowledge about the historical sites in the city, and communication was not an issue as he speaks fluent English. Highly recommended.

Wonderful day at the Pyramids - This was our 1st trip to Egypt and this was our 1st  tour which was a 'Private ViP all-inclusive Giza Pyramids,Sphinx and Inside Pyramids' tour. Our tour guide  Shreen Fares came with the drivers and picked us up outside the hotel.  It was about a 40 mins drive to the Pyramids. As we were a family of 5 we were taken in 2 vehicles,  though always arrived at each stop at the same time.  As this tour was on our 2nd day in Cairo,  Shreen was informative and helpful in suggesting how we could better manage our days and visit all the sites we had planned.  She was easy to chat to and knowledgeable.  When we arrived close to the Pyramids our 1st activity was a camel ride which was enjoyable.  Shreen waited at the start point and when we returned was very helpful  explaining the tipping required to the camel keepers.  We then took a bus to get closer to the pyramids,  there was plenty of opportunities for pictures and our tickets included a visit inside 2 of the pyramids.  Its very steep and you have to crouch down as the tunnels are vey low.    We then walked to the Sphinx and again there was plenty of time to take photos.  From there we went to a shop where we our names were converted to hyrogliphics. Earlier in the day I had mentioned it was my birthday that day,  which Shreen had passed on the staff in the shop as they sang happy birthday and gave me a gift which was a lovely surprise.  From there we went to a perfumery store.  Here was our only negative experience of the day as the person initially was informative on the benefits of the different perfumes and smells but when we didnt go ahead and buy anything from him he stormed off.  We then visited another store for a short story on how paper was made and had some time to buy some soveigners.   after which we visited a shop with herbs, teas  and spices.  Our lunch was included and was a buffet of local foods, after which we were taken back to our hotel.  Througout the day Shreen was very friendly and helpful, she even arranged for a couple of other tours for us. Shreen is lovely, and approachable and willing to answer any of our questions. She was very easy to talk too and because of her, I would recommend this tour company 'Lets Explore Egypt'  and this tour.

The best tour choice for Giza - We had the pleasure of touring the Giza Pyramids with Eman, and she was absolutely wonderful! She explained the fascinating history behind how the pyramids were built, the process of mummification, and so much more with great detail and passion. Eman is incredibly friendly, kind, and made the whole experience both fun and educational. On top of that, she’s the best photographer 🤩 — she knew exactly where to take the perfect shots! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended! Thank you Eman!

Nice day trip - First, we had a great experience once we met our guide Eman. She was very friendly, full of knowledge on Egyptian history, and flexibility to adjust the itinerary. The Giza, short camel ride experience was amazing. On the downside, we had communication issues in order to meet our driver in Alexandria port, so we waited in the wrong place for almost 40 minutes. Fortunately we had phone and Internet service in at least one person's phone in our group, so we were able to call the tour provider to get information on where to find our driver. Once we found the tour rep, he led us to a van and just said this is your driver and to go with him. No other information. The van was a bit old, broken windshield, air conditioning worked. Driver spoke very little English. We drove 2 1/2 hours to Giza where we met our guide Eman. She then proceeded to update us on our itinerary. Overall was a nice outing, but meetup and communication needs improvement.

small group tour with several souvenir sales pitch stores - it's not Private, it's a basic tour with camel 10 min for picture ride, prepare 5$ for tips for the operator. Guide will take you to his scarf sellers, then pyramids walk around, can't go insife or even closer to the spynx, then they push you to go to a new museum and you pay for the new ticket, so he gets to keep the other museum fee as a tip, then you get buffet mediocre lunch, souvenir shops, two where he takes you only to touristy stuff like papyrus or a name tag for typical commission sales. You don't go to any bazaar, it's 11 people in a van group, and you waste so much time at souvenir shops, I don't recommend this operator and question the integrity of their reviews.
