Amazing tour guide and Pyramid experience - Summer is an excellent host! She was patient, friendly and knowledgeable about what we saw on the Giza plateau. We walked inside the smaller Pyramid, had an amazing camel ride and she took us to the Papyrus museum. We highly recommend you book this tour.

Amazing tours by Amany! - I had a great few hours touring the pyramids with Amany
I had only a short period of time to view them and Amany made sure to get the best out of that time
Super knowledgeable and friendly - would definitely recommend to friends and will go back when I’m next in Cairo!

Great efficient tour of pyramids! - Wael provided a great tour of the three pyramids in Giza built for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, as well as the Sphinx. He had lots of knowledge, and took some great photos. The tour was well organised with convenient hotel pick up and drop off.

Giza - Without our guide Ola our visit to the pyramids would not have been the same. Ola was so informative, helpful in getting us around and alerting us of what to be careful of. She was amazing and I would recommend this tour and Ola for anyone’s future experience.

Fun, educational and very interesting - Ola, our tour guide for the three pyramids in Giza built for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, as well as the Sphinx, was a wealth of knowledgeable, personable and as a bonus, a great photographer. 🙂
After being picked up from our hotel, she walked us through the history of Egypt from it's earliest recorded days until the present, those who came to challenge and tried to control its people and resources, how the capital moved three times due in part to those who attempted to conquer it, and recommended other attractions within Cairo and other cities to visit.
It was a very fun and educational half day adventure that we'll be taking about for years. Thank you Ola!

Layover Adventure - Wael was a fantastic tour guide. Prompt, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly/accommodating. What a great way to spend a portion of a long layover here in Egypt exploring with him. Would definitely book this tour again.

Exceeded expectations - Hadeer my guide and Osama our driver were so wonderful. Hadeer made everything so easy and pleasant to arrange and she was so knowledgeable about the pyramids, the sphinx, Egyptian history, and contemporary Egyptian society. She also seemed to be friendly and welcomed by the staff every where we went. She answered all my questions and accommodated all my needs and was very generous with her time. Osama was an excellent driver and also answers my questions and played great music. I had such a wonderful tour with both of them and couldn’t recommend more!! Im not really a “tour” type of person, but I am so glad I did this!!
