Great activity hit! - We think we were right when choosing this activity! The guide you have given us, Kholud, has explained very well everything related to the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Very nice at all times and with a very good Spanish. Despite the heat, it has been a nice day! We highly recommend it!

Great tour to see the pyramids and learn about history - We had a lovely half day with Bossi our tour guide and Mohamed our driver. Bossi was so knowledgeable with the history of the pyramids and very helpful with the logistics, helping us with everything we needed and ensured we were taken care of. They arrived on time to our hotel to pick us up, Mohamed was a great driver and Bossi didn’t rush us, she made sure we had water and anything else we needed, she took photos for us at all the sites and made our trip memorable.

An easy & quality way to see the sites of Giza - This tour was very nice! Ahmed gave us a nice introduction as to the history of the pyramids on the drive over as well as when we walked around. The camel ride was quite memorable & the tour of the papyrus factory at the end was a nice surprise!

Perfect experience of one of the ancient wonders’ - We had a wonderful experience with Basant as our guide. She was so informative without being overwhelming and so knowledgable when we had questions - she also knew where all the best photo spots were and helped us take some amazing pictures of us ‘holding’ the pyramids and ‘kissing’ the sphinx. We also appreciated that she was not pushy with camel/horse rides or the bazaars at the end.
Everything was very well planned from collection to drop off. We will definitely recommend this tour to any of our friends visiting Cairo and especially with Basant. Thank you so much :)

Magnificent experience in Giza - The view of the pyramids up close was spectacular. In the plain of Giza you can breathe history. Special thanks to our Guide Halla who took us to all the most beautiful points and explained perfectly the history of the Pyramids and the Sphinx.
