Super half day tour of Giza - We had a fantastic half day Giza tour with Summer, who was extremely friendly and of course knowledgeable on Egyptian history. We did the tour with our two tour children (4 and 7) and everything was just perfect. Would definitely recommend!

5 Star Pyramid Tour - The giza pyramid tour with Wael was perfect. Wael was extremely communicative and catered to our every need. The camel ride was great, and Wael explained the history of the pyramids very well. Couldn't recommend this tour & Wael highly enough.

Best tour guide and experience of the Pyramids you can ask for - Our trip to the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara was truly the experience of a lifetime, and it would not have been the same without our incredible guide, Samar, and our amazing driver, Hussein. From start to finish, Samar was absolutely phenomenal. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egypt’s history, but she also knows how to make every moment fun and memorable. She brought the ancient sites to life with fascinating stories and insights, and on top of that, she made sure we had the best possible experience. From taking us inside the pyramids, showing us the best photo spots, arranging camel rides, guiding us to authentic local shops, and even introducing us to amazing authentic Egyptian food, she thought of everything. She also went above and beyond by taking beautiful photos and videos for us—and even editing them so we’d have perfect memories to look back on. Truly, she felt more like a friend than just a guide. Hussein, our driver, was equally outstanding. Always on time, professional, and kind, he’s an excellent driver navigating the roads and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. He opened doors, made sure we had everything we needed, and was always right there when we needed him. Together, Samar and Hussein made our trip unforgettable. They worked seamlessly as a team, and thanks to them we not only saw one of the world’s greatest wonders, but also felt welcomed, cared for, and treated like VIPs. If you are considering a tour in Cairo, do yourself a favor and request Samar and Hussein. We cannot imagine experiencing Egypt without them. This was truly the time of our lives, and we’re so grateful to them both.

Great historical knowledge - Hussam was prompt and very knowledgeable. He gave us tons of great historical context and went with our pace which is quite fast. He even helped ensure our camel ride was under 10 minutes as requested. He took us to a papyrus factory which was a great place to visit. Be aware that you will be strongly sold from the papyrus company but we as tourists are happy to support the locals.

Great tour with friendly, caring, knowledgeable guide - Ibrahim was as friendly as could be, took time to interact with each member of the family. He's been giving these tours for 25 years but you could tell he has not lost his enthusiasm for Giza and the history of Egypt. He also was very protective of our group so we would not get scammed by anyone selling things. I bought something anyway, but Ibrahim made sure to get an extra scarf for me so the exchange was more fair. We could not have been in better hands.

The stores are absolute scams, but great photographer & guide - The reason for the one star is the "government shops" (which isn't a real thing) that they take you to are insanely marked up, the papyrus store was about a 200% markup. They tell you that all the street vendors' papyrus is actually banana leaf paper and these stores are only the REAL papyrus. A "government" papyrus I bought for $211 USD I found on the street a week later for around $20 USD (it was the exact same one, even the paper). This was the first day of our two week vacation so after shopping around I feel like an idiot and taken advantage of. An Egyptian told me (after the fact) that these tour guides are actually getting commission when they bring guided tours into their shops and people buy the store's items. Isn't the point of a tour guide is to guide you in the right direction and not take advantage of you? You trust that person and they make you feel like you're in a safe space and that you're getting a good deal, but instead you are getting ripped off. I know whoever replies to this is going to say "you weren't forced to buy anything" but like i said, the guide I thought would guide me to stores with good prices, not fake government stores created to rip off tourists. Also bought stuff from the oil shop & spice shop she brought us to: also way overpriced. THIS GOES FOR ANY GUIDED TOUR THAT I TOOK IN EGYPT, I'm really not sure why nobody has mentioned it on the tons of "things to know in egypt" blogs I've read and videos I've watched. Other than that...knowledgeable guide, great at taking photos, JUST DON'T BUY STUFF AT THE STORES THEY TAKE YOU TO
