Amr Moses Rocks!

Amr Moses was an outstanding tour guide and made our visit to the GEM Museum in Giza truly unforgettable. From the moment he arrived, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly welcoming. Traveling with my sisters, we felt completely at ease thanks to how attentive and caring he was throughout the entire day. His knowledge of the museum and Egyptian history was impressive—he explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. What really set him apart was his personality: he was funny, warm, and knew exactly how to keep the tour enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. He took his time with us, making sure we experienced everything fully and had all our questions answered. If you’re looking for a guide who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Amr Moses. He went above and beyond to make our day special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic day trip to the museum

We had the most fantastic trip to the GEM with Abdo. He picked us up from our hotel with his driver- a lovely big, air conditioned van- he provided water and took us to the museum. Abdo was well spoken, incredibly knowledgeable, very interesting to listen to, and even had the interest of our three kids. The museum itself is an experience not to be missed, and if you are considering going, please please book a guide- there are so many things you would easily miss or not notice if you do not have a knowledgeable person with you. Thank you Abdo, 10/10 recommend!

Saw what we wanted

Fantastic trip with excellent guide Hossam, who looked after us well and gave clear explanations. He contacted us the day beforehand with pick up details and glad we took his advice to depart at 8am as we were ahead of the large tour parties. Made for a really enjoyable time with no queues. Fab lunch too at a clean restaurant.

Great experience, great price!

We had dinner on the Nile. Mo Salah picked us up on time for this late dinner excursion. Although, the cruise seemed a bit delayed, Mo' remained with us and ensured that we boarded and were seated before leaving us to enjoy the evening which was consisted of delicious food (nice variety) and an awesome range of entertainment. The time passed by quickly. At the end of the cruise Mo was outside, no waitiing, to take us back to the hotel. Great experience, great price!

Exploring tour to Grand Egyptian museum and King Tut Collection

Matthew_A, Feb 2026

I thought I was rushed, but they made the time spacious and special.

Mohamed was an excellent guide. For context, I booked this trip the night before the visit. In fewer than 8 hours, they set me up for a magical trip. The pick up from my hotel was flawless. Mohamed starting the tour in the car, while the friendly driver provided a smooth ride through traffic. By the time we arrived, I felt well prepared with context about the museum's creation and collections. He was excellent at asking me questions that helped me remember different elements in the museum. If pop quizzes in school were this fun, I would long for them every day. I had a short amount of time to visit, but since I was the only person on the trip, Mohamed was able to guide me through all 3 museum buildings, where I got to see the highlights and slow down whenever I got curious. As I finished, I wanted to get some souvenirs, so he and the driver brought me to a few spots in Giza, which while sharing goods also shared more history with me. I got back to my hotel with time to spare, and I am awed by how well Mohamed guided me through this experience. Some things I especially appreciated: - I wasn't sure when to leave, but the company saw my (pre-purchased) ticket time and the distance from my hotel, and provided a suggested departure time. This led to me arriving at a relaxed pace at the gates one minute before I could enter. So I felt like I could walk right in.

Great Tour

Our guide Bishoy was absolutely amazing (professional, knowledgable, informative, kind) and this tour was a wonderful way to begin our trip to Egypt! We experienced authentic Egyptian essence perfume; learned about making paper and had our names written using ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics; shopped for jewelry and t-shirts; and visited a spice shop. We ended our tour enjoying delicious Koshary, Egypt's national dish. Many thanks to Bishoy and we absolutely recommend this tour to future travelers!

Great guide, and a good option for solo travellers

Hana was a great guide - very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, gave me plenty of time to take photos and ensured I wasn't pressured into buying anything at the market. It's quite an intense, colourful experience, nice to see the historical buildings and inside a mosque too. I booked at quite short notice, so appreciated this being accommodated so quickly.

My husband and I just had the most amazing day visiting Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. We were picked up from our hotel at the agreed time, visited the three sites, plus a papyrus museum and an oil and essence boutique. Nice buffet lunch with view to the Giza pyramids. Our private guide Menna and our driver Abdallah were simply amazing, flexible, understanding and easygoing! Best choice to discover Egypt!

Great experience - with pickup and drop from my hotel

This is a wonderful tour. This tour provides a great personalized experience. Khalefa is an amazing guide and provides a comprehensive experience that dives deep into the history and culture of the tour destinations. Khalefa also recommended great additional stops and does not pressure you into anything. He was also very instrumental in helping me relocate my scarf during the tour of the Sphinx. 10/10

Cut straight to the chase

Getting an authentic papyrus scroll was a priority for me and my guide didn't disappoint. 3 Pyramids Institute had a great selection The brief demonstration by Yosef of how papyrus sheets are made added to the experience. Hesham's shopping experience made it hassle free and I left confident I'd paid good money for an authentic scroll and not a cheap imitation. Would book this again.
