Amazing Time at The Pryamids with Family!
Guide Kryllos Eskandar and the driver gave my family and I an amazing experience at the pyramids. Super smooth, no hiccups, and no hassle. Everything included in the description of the tour was as it was, zero surprises! Kryllos was an incredibly knowledgeable Egyptologist guide and was very passionate about what he does. He was very helpful in answering all of my questions and has social media pages/ books published on Ancient Egypt. If you are having trouble choosing between multiple tours, let this be your sign to choose this one :) It will be an incredible experience I assure you!

Excellent Guide and tour!
The tour was excellent! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Islam was our guide and he was super knowledgeable and kind. He took us to an amazing perfume/oil store and I wish I would have purchased more. My husband is getting so many compliments.
The pyramids were amazing and Islam took the best pictures. Would definitely book again

Outstanding trip
Excellent experience. The guide was wonderful. She arrived on time, was courteous, knowledgeable, kind and had great sense of humor. She explained everything about the pyramids. Its history and cultural significance. She took us to every pyramid and made our journey a memorable one.

Very enjoyable tour with a great tour Guide Amr
On the day we were due to take this tour we were contacted and asked if we could defer to the following evening because the traffic was so bad because of a state visit. This actually suited us so we agreed. We were picked up as arranged the following evening by our tour guide Amr at our hotel. We then went on to pick up another guest, who truned out to be someone we got on well with. Amr was a great tour guide, fun and informative and suggested changes in the original itinerary to ensure we got the best out of our experience. He delivered our evening in a friendly but professional manner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this tour and partiuclarly our guide Amr.

Ibrahim Exceeded All Expectations (and they were high!)
We were only in Egypt for two days! So we had a lot of eggs in one basket hoping for lifetime memories of Egypt, Cairo, Giza and the pyramids! It was a lot to ask but this tour really delivered, principally because of our tour guide Ibrahim and the friendliest driver in the world, Sameer. Ibrahim was incredible, his English was impeccable and he spoke eloquently about Egyptian history, politics, traditions and the idiosyncrasies of Cairo culture. He was funny, engaging, patient and great with our two girls. More than all of this he gave us an incredibly passionate and informed reading of the history of the pyramids - he seemed particularly well informed having studied Egyptology in Oxford. Ibrahim anchored the mysteries of the Pharaohs and their tombs in historical terms and painted in rich technicolour the awesome achievements and vision of the ancient Egyptians. Seriously he was brilliant. In addition to bringing us to a much clearer understanding of ancient Egypt - he was sensitive to our need as a young family to have some moments to ourselves to be daft and have fun and he took some great pictures. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Our driver who spoke little English was smiling and generous and drove considerately. The lunch was delicious with a front seat view of the pyramids. The camel ride was a blast too! We had a fantastic day and came away from Egypt with lasting memories of our brief moment in the mind-bending history of the Pyramids. P.S. We went in May which seems to be a good time - it was really quiet and manageable heat.

Book this tour! Phenomenal
The driver picked us up on time and it was a relief having him stay throughout the tour. Being able to get directly into a vehicle and store your items throughout the day made the trip so much more comfortable. Also cut down on wait times and walking.
Our tour guide, Passant, was amazing. She gave an abundance of history with pride. Additionally, her tips and suggestions when navigating purchases were super helpful. Thanks to Passant we were able to keeps memories of each moment with her picture taking. The pyramids are spectacular and the weather was gorgeous!! We enjoyed the papyrus presentation as well as sampling Egyptian oils. Don’t delay, book the tour!

This is a MUST do
I can't even describe what a wonderful experience today was. I have dreamed of seeing the pyramids my entire life (48 years now). You need to book this with a guide, it made the day magical. Esaam was incredible. Exploring the sites with an actual Egyptologist was amazing. His insight was so enlightening. I will be back to Egypt and I will be doing more tours with him.

Amazing time in Alexandria!
We had such a wonderful day trip to Alexandria with Karim and our driver Ahmet. Everything was organised perfectly from pickup to drop-off, and the whole experience felt comfortable, fun, and full of fascinating history.
Karim was an excellent Egyptologist guide ,incredibly knowledgeable, clever, funny, and passionate about Alexandria’s Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history. He explained everything in such an interesting and easy way and showed us both the beautiful modern side of Alexandria and the deeper historical and cultural side too. As Albanians living in Britain, we especially loved hearing the historical connections he shared with us.
We visited Montaza Palace, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, the Catacombs, and many other amazing places. Lunch was lovely, the transport was comfortable, and Ahmet was so patient, kind, and friendly throughout the day.
Our group included people from America, Germany, China, and the UK, and Karim made everyone feel included and welcomed. We learned so much while laughing all day. Truly one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had in Egypt. Highly recommended!

Great trip
Our driver picked us up at 6am. It was about 2.5 hrs drive and he stopped along the way for coffee and snacks. It was overall a great drive. The tour was interesting and informative. I highly recommend taking this day trip if you want to experience Alexandria city in a short time.

Excellent private tour with a brilliant guide - Michael
Michael, our tour guide was an amazing guide. His knowledge of egypt - past and near past was impressive. The tour itself was smooth and very informative. Our son had injured himself and both Michael and Essam (the driver) went out of their way to ensure he was comfortable and could make the most of the trip including through the Giza pyramids.
Michael walked us through the massive GEM with ease and knowledge. Being a private tour, it was very convenient. Highly recommend.

Our guide for the trip...
Our guide for the trip was amazing! Wagih was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. He took his time explaining everything and answering all of our questions. We had so much with this tour. Our driver Ibrahim was prompt and safely delivered us to all of our destinations, waiting patiently to pick us up after every excursion. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
We had the great pleasure of Sayed and his driver, apologies for forgetting your name my friend. They were on time, organising things from start to end. We had two children with us, and they adapted well. Sayed's knowledge on the topic is vast, but he also engaged in personal conversation, which added to the bonding and enjoyment. 5 out of 5 from beginning to end. Thanks guys!

The sprawling metropolis of Cairo is rich with historic sights and cultural experiences—and the logistics of taking them all in can be overwhelming in this bustling Egyptian city. The best way to visit ancient pyramids, sail on an authentic felucca, take photos of the Great Sphinx, or ride a camel is with one of the many Cairo day trips available to visitors. Some sightseeing tours feature the services of a professional Egyptologist guide who can provide more in-depth insight than a simple guidebook. Also, consider a day trip from Cairo to legendary Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea.
