Professionalism, humor and expertise. - I would never have had the tremendous experience of Giza pyramids without Aly Elsheemy.
Walk near by the pyramids and can talk on any subject, from Egypt’s ancient empire to current events and recommendations (i.e. natural oils) with him. Aly Elsheemy is friendly, easy going and is very knowledgeable about Giza pyramids and ancient world. He pointed out details which were very subtle.
He went out of his way to tailor the tour to my interests.
I would not pass up the opportunity to tour with Aly.
Aly Elsheemy is the best tour guide, my experience with him was as great as the great pyramid of Giza.

Marvellous - Although my experience of Luxor was more phenomenal than Cairo (Pyramids of Giza), I still thoroughly enjoyed my tour. Eman was a fantastic tour guide and her Ancient Egyptian knowledge was great. Overall I had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend visiting the Pyramids of Giza if you're interested in ancient architecture and ancient timelines. 9/10

Great! - Booked this tour through booking.com and couldn’t be happier with the experience my brother and I had. Our tour guide Nour and driver Saad were fantastic, they both had great knowledge of the areas we visited and were able to answer question about absolutely everything too. Nour was friendly, informative and made the whole experience extra fun. We managed to hit every historical site we wanted to all in one day. Great tour with an excellent tour guide, thank you Nour and Saad!

Excellent Tour! - Mohamed El Wazir was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, professional, polite, and funny. The pace of the tour was just right. I never felt rushed or forced to stay anywhere longer than I wanted. He took some really great quality pictures of me as well. I am looking forward to utilizing his services for another tour tomorrow.

Great experience! - We had a great day with Youssef as our guide. My traveling companion was an archaeologist and we had both done our homework before taking this trip. Our guide recognized that we were very much interested in a more educational experience and tailored the tour and our experience based upon our interests. The trip was well-planned and all our needs were taken care of during the day.

Run away... - We have been waiting for 3 hours at the hotel promising that we will be picked up... even the hotel called them... they inform us after 3 hours waiting and 15 calls without being able to reach them that we would have asked for the cancellation of the excursion in the morning??? I would love to be shown proof.
To flee, they are liars and thieves... in an organized timing, they ruined our visit to Cairo, we could not make the pyramids.

Stay Away!! - I booked the tour with the agency but the never showed up! In the morning of the trip, I sent several messages through Viator application and by email but they never bother to answer. They let me waiting at the hotel lobby and almost lost the day doing nothing.... I contacted the support of Viator and they were very helpfull saving my day arranging the trip with another agency. To avoid absolutely!!
