Amazing day out in Cairo! - We’ve absolutely loved the tour and our guide Bassam! Half-day is perfect to see the key sights, and the information we were given was insightful and useful. The service was attentive and the pace just right for the young and older.

Recommend! - Mahmoud and Esam were great! They were both flexible on picking us up due to some delays in our travel plans. Once we were picked up, we had a wonderful tour filled with story-telling and amazing sites. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Cairo and has limited time in the city!

Amazing guide and tour! - We were so, so happy with this tour! We’re a mom and 10 yo son traveling on our own. First, we were picked up in a very comfortable van by a safe driver. Second, our tour guide (Mohammed Gomaa) was perfect. He quickly sussed out our current level of knowledge, the appropriate level of detail and what we were most interested in. He did a great job tailoring the information to my son’s specific knowledge *and* making him feel included and like an expert (he had just studied the pyramids in school). From my adult perspective, I couldn’t have asked for a better fit. Aside from being an excellent guide, he was smart and curious and engaged and thoughtful about the world - some of my favorite moments were the snippets of conversation about more current events that happened between the sites. Really, my highest recommendation.

A great memorable trip to the Giza pyramids and sphinx - Mohamed Gomaa was the best tour guide! Very helpful and knowledgeable. He picked us up from our Air BnB and was very friendly and warm. He gave us all the information we wanted to know about the pyramids and Egyptian history. He also gave us plenty of time to take in the views and enjoy the experience without being rushed. We got to spend as much time in the great pyramid as we wanted, although the air inside is not the best so you don’t want to stay inside too long

Cool Cairo - Our Cairo trip was amazing! The Semiramis Intercontinental Hotel was definitely the Queen of the Nile as it was once referred to. The trip to the pyramids was escorted by a great guy called Hosni from deluxe tours. He was entertaining but not over the top , knowledgeable and most important he was kind. He took us round and showed us his expertise as well as taking amazing pics for us. Thank you for a wonderful guided excursion

Great tour guide - A trip to the pyramids is one of those once in a lifetime moments, and it was great having Mohammed as my guide for it. He was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to get on with. He was able to explain the history in memorable ways that suited my level of understanding, and his english was perfect. This tour doesn’t include tickets, which was 540 Egyptian pounds for entry to the pyramids area. I also got the ticket to go inside the pyramid which was more expensive 900. It’s quite cramped in there and is really a long hunch-backed walk up to a now empty stone chamber, but it’s worth doing. How many chances will you have to go in the Great Pyramid? Do it. Only criticism of the tour was ending at a papyrus shop, which after showing me the process of making papyrus (which was very interesting) I had the expected push from the owner to buy something. I made it clear I wasn’t interested but the guy kept leading me round the shop for 5 minutes and was very pushy and scowly. Maybe good to make clear the purpose of this last shop stop and have the option not to do it. Otherwise the tour ends on a bad vibe from this shop owner. Otherwise, a wonderful tour with a really great guide. Recommended.

Terrific pyramid day tour - We booked the day tour of the pyramids, and Sphinx at Giza with deluxe travel. Our guide for the day was Zizou. He was excellent!!! He is an exceptionally knowledgeable Egyptologist, and was able to share his knowledge with us. He is very passionate about Egyptian history He was also an excellent photographer. He took us to special locations throughout the site that provided us with fun and very memorable pictures. The whole experience was five star. I highly them

Recommended! - We had a very comfortable trip to the Pyramids of Giza today. We really enjoyed being accompanied by our guide MAHMOUD BADR and our driver Salier. Given the heat, it was wonderful to be able to see this wonder of the world in an air-conditioned car. With his passionate way of reporting on history, Mahmoud brought the events of that time wonderfully close to us. We would like to say a big thank you.
