5 Stars for Expert Guide Sara. - Our private tour of the Giza Pyramid complex with Sara was excellent. With six years of tertiary education in archaeology and Egyptology, Sara provided deep insights that went far beyond the usual tourist information. Over two well-planned hours, she shared historical details that brought the ancient wonders to life. Sara’s relaxed and engaging style made the experience enjoyable. Her confident explanations and ability to answer every question in depth added a lot of value to the tour. If you want to explore Giza hassle-free with a true expert who brings history to life, I highly recommend booking with Sara.

Excellent Giza Pyramid, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Musium and shopping - We had an absolutely great experience on this tour. Our tour guide and Germaine was excellent, she was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from her. She took very good care of us. She took us to all the sites listed in the description for the tour. We enjoyed a very tasty lunch and she even arranged for a birthday celebration for my sister with the restaurant staff. Our driver was also excellent and took very good care of us. Felt like we were with family. Thank you for an awesome experience in Cairo. I will definitely recommend this tour to family and friends visiting Cairo

Amazing visit! - Amazing experience! Gina, my tour guide was so informative and Palo, the driver was also amazing. They made the whole visit super fun and help you understand the history behind the pyramids. Even small things like how to deal with the local sellers was handled by them. I recommend these guys for sure.

A great day amongs the pyramids of Giza - We were very satisfied with our tour to the Giza Pyramids. We had the best driver Mario, he was on time and efficient. Our tour guide Gina was very knowledgeable. Gina explained the story behind Egypt and the pyramids. We went inside the Kehops pyramid (visit takes 35-40 min). We took a camel ride with a full view of the 3 pyramids. We also had a close view of the sphinx. Driver and guide per our request took us papyrus and souvenir shopping close to the pyramids. I highly recommend this company for any trip in Egypt as they were very reliable, communication was easy and they truly make an effort to ensure you are satisfied. Very great team.

Pyramids, Sphinx, and GEM - I had a good experience overall visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our driver, Mario, was excellent—very professional and kind, and made the experience smooth from pickup to drop-off. Our tour guide for the day was Simon. At the start, she seemed engaged and gave us a brief history before heading to the pyramids. Things went well at first—we rode camels (around $20 for 10 minutes), got some great photos, and enjoyed the scenery. She helped us navigate through the bus chains and such. However, as the tour progressed, I noticed Simon became increasingly distracted by her phone. When we arrived at the Sphinx, she gave a short intro before the entrance and then told us to explore on our own while she waited near the exit. I saw other guides actively walking with their groups, sharing detailed insights and helping with photos—which made me feel a bit let down I love to learn about history and I felt my money was wasted. After taking pictures, I asked Simon several questions about the Sphinx and nearby areas, but she seemed irritated by the follow-up questions, especially when I asked if we could explore additional sections that she mentioned were non accessible which I understood. Also I mentioned if we could walk around the pyramids to explore a bit this was before sphinx she said we could once we exit the pyramids from the inside but she ended up rushing us to go to the sphinx. Later, we were taken to a tourist shop that wasn’t mentioned in the original itinerary. I was under the impression we were visiting Giza, the Sphinx, and the GEM for a full-day 8-hour tour. At the shop, Simon said she’d be waiting for us, we then got talked to by some sales lady who tried to sell us some painting which I was not interested in I tried to find Simon and she was not at the spot she said she would be and in order to get away from this sales lady I left the store. Simon then came out running after us and seemed a bit upset and said why didn’t you tell me you were leaving and of course I responded with you weren’t at your spot. At the GEM, things picked up again—she finally offered to take photos of us for the first time . She then gave us a tour of the museum and went through the highlights However, it felt a bit rushed . She then said we could have 20 minutes to explore the museum and keep in mind this museum is huge and we just went through only the highlights I wanted to see each exhibit. I talked to her and said I’d need at least 40 minutes. She agreed and at this point only 4hrs and 30 min of our tour had passed and this was our last stop so I was unsure why she wanted us to go quick. After 49 min we had almost finished going through the museum and I told her we’d need more time she then sent me a message saying saying tourists are only allowed 30 minutes to explore on their own, even though the museum is massive and we still had time left in the scheduled tour. I ended up spending less than 6 hours on what was supposed to be an 8-hour tour. While I truly enjoyed seeing these incredible landmarks, I didn’t enjoy the tour experience with Simon as much as I’d hoped. The driver, Mario, on the other hand, was excellent and deserves recognition. I hope Simon gets the proper training to improve her skills as a tour guide and this will allow her to receive better feedback from customers and receive hopefully greater tips as all tourists want is a nice stress free day
