Greatest Tour and Best Tour Guide - I am not kidding when I say this was the best tour ever. I was so blown away! Our tour guide Ahmed Elsayed was so passionate and energetic about the history of the pyramids that you feel it. I have always wanted to visit the pyramids and I finally did, I’m so glad I had a tour guide like Ahmed to make this life long dream of mine truly come to life. Thanks Ahmed, you are the best.

A wonderful day seeing the pyramids - Ahmed Elsayed picked us up from our hotel and took us all around Cairo and Memphis and Saqqara. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and spoke wonderful English. Our driver was great, so friendly, and competent. Ahmed took us to the best Swahili restaurant (with great ac!) for lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Alba and Desouky the perfect team - Abla Saif was our tour guide and Desouky was our driver. This was by far the highlight of our trip to Cairo. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and given a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour of the Pryamids. My wife is not a huge history buff, but found the tour enjoyable and said it was an amazing day. Not only was Alba knowledgeable, but she was a remarkable photographer (which my wife loved). Thank you, it was the perfect day.

Highly recommend - We’ve been on many guided tours throughout the world, however, this tour with our guide Sayed Mohammed, was by far the best we’ve had! This tour was truly the highlight of our trip. It was informative and he brought every stop to life with fascinating facts, local legends, and insights that you wouldn't find in a guidebook. His dedication to making our experience memorable was unmatched. Our driver added to this experience, with a punctual pick up and comfortable vehicle.

History of the pyramids - Ahmed, our tour guide was amazing. He is passionate and does not mind sharing his wealth of knowledge. He is also thoughtful and caring about what was needed from our tour/day. A bonus, he is a good photographer.

Great experience of the main pyramids in Dashur, Saqqara and Giza, with Sphinx, camel ride and lots of fun - We enjoyed the tour, that met all of our expectations. The young lady guide, Nisme, with the lady driver came to pick us up very early, which allowed for a visit at the Dashur and Saqqara Pyramids first, before the crowds hit there. Very smart move. We were able to enter the Red Pyramid (of Sneferu, very thight, very oblique corridor) without rubbing shoulders or walls. Good experience, requires some physical fitness and less body height :-). We followed through to the Saqqara Pyramid (oldest in the world) before stopping for lunch. Lunch was good, prompt and enough, on a nice covered terrace with pyramids view. The facilities there are simple but clean, the service was fast, we enjoyed the meal. The afternoon was reserved for the three Giza Pyramids and Sphinx, as well as a camel ride, which was fun and interesting. All in all - very satisfied with the young guide and her planning of the day. The driver was good, too. She went a bit slower at the beginning of the trip, being very mindful of the car (on bumpy roads). The driving got better (and a little faster) during the day, which allowed us to visit all sights with enough time for strolling around and lingering longer where our interest was (we walked around the pyramid in Dashur - getting a better feeling for the architecture without the crowds). When starting for the trip, remember the brand and color of the car, as it's easier to spot in a parking lot, where most cars look the same. Water is provided, but somehow there's never enough water in the desert, and that's the real desert you'll get a taste of, so take an additional bottle with you, just to have it. When the guide, Nisme, got too enthusiastic with explanations, we kindly asked her to repeat and slow down, which she did promptly and we had fun. Great lady! Thanks for the great day :-), very memorable.

Great history but too inflexible for a private tour - I will start with saying that having done a dozen private tours over the years in different countries through Viator, I’m used to there being flexibility in where you go and what you see. Not here. They actually offered us to trade off one site for another early in the tour but when we asked, they wouldn’t do it without more money. If we didn’t want to spend as much time in one place we couldn’t make it up in another. We asked to please skip the parts where they take to shops and get the high pressure sales pitches, but they still took us. Anyhow, our guide was super knowledgeable and took great pictures, we were just disappointed in the lack of flexibility of this expensive private tour. We ended up having to go back on a different tour just to see the one or two things that we were right next to that they wouldn’t take us to even though we finished the stops two hours early.

Caution - Safety issue warning. Already tipped the tour guide 10 dollars and he left us with the driver. Driver demanded higher tips to 20 dollars before let us out. ( started using translation apps to let us know he is unhappy ). Very dangerous when this is your driver and you are in the vehicle.
