We enjoyed all of the activities and ease of the day with our thoughtful guide Elham. She was very knowledgeable and made the day so much easier especially with our two children.

The tour was really well organized, starting a day with a camel ride while enjoying the pyramids view with the sunrise. Our tour guide for the pyramids along with the driver were lovely and welcoming and would recommend the trip to anyone who would want to learn about the history and enjoy the experience without the crowds. Sucran to both of them :))

I went with Aladin as my guide and it was an amazing experience! We went very early and saw the sunrise and had tea in the desert! took great landscapes too! and my guide took great photographs of me along the way, and shared history and patiently helped me with all my questions and walked with me around the pyramids! They even arranged a vegan meal for me 💯 recommended

Our tour was worth every penny. Shareen was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone in our group. She helped other members of our group and answered all their questions. She taught us a lot about the pyramids that we did not know. Having a guide really helped us get by crowds and avoid hagglers. We did the sunrise tour nice and early, that way we were leaving right as the crowds were getting way too big.

Mohamed Salah did a fantastic job guiding us through the Pyramids of Giza. Excellent local knowledge and was amazing in all areas. He was able to take you off the beaten track for a personal experience. Camel ride was fantastic and enjoyable! Awesome pictures taken by the guides. Breakfast was great local food and the ride to and from was safe, comfortable and timely. Overall, amazing trip and would highly recommend.

mohamed saleh was my tour guide. He was very lovely and showed us nice places. We had a nice walk with the camels and could took some nice pictures. Mohamed was the best guide! In a few hours we saw a lot of things and got to experience a lot of things. Thank you!

It was our first time going for a camel ride in the desert, and it was an unforgettable experience. Aftewards, the driver dropped us off at the pyramids, where the real journey began. Finally, if you want, they can also stop by a lotus-flower perfume shop and a papyrus store. Emmy was an excellent tour guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer all our questions. Breakfast was a traditional falafel or fried potato sandwich. It was simple but very tasty—just a sandwich, but a delicious one!

Mou was an excellent knowledgeable guide. 10/10 Highly recommend. The service felt quite personal which I loved as he answered all our questions and preempted information as he got to know us throughout the day. The tour also felt flexible to our wants as well. The driver was also quite polite with a comfortable safe ride. Will definitely book when back.

The tour was absolutely amazing! Truly an experience I’ll never forget. Our guide, Mohamed Saleh, was beyond incredible. He wasn’t just knowledgeable; he spoke with a passion that only someone who truly loves what they do could have. As an archaeologist himself, he shared stories and insights from firsthand experience, making everything feel so alive and personal. I walked away feeling like I had not only learned about Egypt’s history but actually felt it. We loved the tour so much that we booked another one with him on the spot just to keep exploring. During our visit, we ran into Dr. Mark Lehner, the world-renowned archaeologist, who greeted Mohamed like an old friend—they’ve worked together! That moment showed how respected he is in his field. Mohamed went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, comfortable, and truly understood the deeper meaning behind everything we saw. A 100/10 experience and I feel so lucky to have learned from someone like him.

Mohamaad Salah was a fun and intelligent guide who answered questions honestly about the Pyramid and the construction of it. He showed pictures of his time climbing inside of the pyramid as a student and gave insight of his on beliefs when asked. His transparency and photo taking skills is what made him a very fun guide to have and I would book with him again 100%
