Informative - well care driver
Mohammed was very puctual to pick up us at the hotel. He was no rush or pushed us, just informed the time and let fully enjoyed the pyramids and tombs. He introduced many Egyptian culture and related history of the visited sites in Arabic. (Use translator app) Bery recommended him.

Getting the most out of the museum
We had a really great experience with Selah for the VIP Private Grand Egyptian Museum tour. Booking was easy and communication was quick confirming our needs, and our driver was early and ready to go. The museum is huge, so having a knowledgeable guide made a big difference in understanding everything and connecting the history in a way that actually made sense. We saw the main exhibits and still had time to explore on our own, and Selah also gave us some helpful recommendations for other interests during our visit to round out the day. Would highly recommend!

An amazing guide helping to make amazing memories.
Mohamed is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. He looked after us during our trip around the pyramids and constantly checked to make sure we were having a good time and doing the things we wanted to do. The pace of the tour was perfect and catered well for the both the adults and the kids. It was clear that his focus was on giving us perfect service and he achieved that perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend him if you choose to tour the pyramids. Thank you Mohamed, you helped us make some amazing memories today.

Enjoyable entertaining
My partner is in a wheelchair, and from the moment we got out of the taxi the staff couldn't have been more helpful, she was literally carried from the road to put seat, plenty of choice in the food and well what can be said about the entertainment, it was simply brilliant, from the singers the dancers the 3 piece bongo sax and violin player got everyone going they were amazing

Ask for Mo to be Your Guide!!
We did the tour in the pyramids, along with a camel ride around the Pryamids, and lunch. Our tour guide was Mo. Mo speaks perfect English, Spanish, and Arabic. He is extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egypt as both of his parents are tour guides, so he grew up learning about it.
Mo picked us up from our hotel, on time. During the drive to the pyramids, Mo gave us some background information on both Cairo and ancient Egypt. He broke down stories of kings and other important figures into sections. He would give little little bits of information at one site, then at the next site, where there was more supporting evidence, he would continue the story a bit further. This kept us engaged and wondering where it will go. We spent the day trying to figure out what the ending will be.
The camel rides were the perfect length, as your legs will begin to chafe a bit. If you give a bit of a tip, you can ask the guy with the white horse and red mane to let you sit on the horse for a picture. It will get up on its hind legs and the pyramids will be in the background.
Mo brought us to one of his favourite restaurants in Cairo, and the food was delicious. Ask for the Nutella pastry dessert. We had to get seconds.
Mo brought us safely back to our hotel.
Overall the tour would have been good, but Mo made it extra special. His knowledge and story telling skills are one of the best that we've ever experienced on a tour, and we would highly recommend him in to anyone.

Professional & Reliable
The tour guide and driver are very kind and polite. They came on time with a very clean car. Our guide (Rasha) is very patient in helping us with our infant. It is a great experience overall. I do hope the best for Egyptian in this tough time. God bless Egyptian.

Great tour program to the Coptic Cairo, with an extra bonus to see Citadel of Salah El-Din
We had a great tour by this vendor during our stay in Cairo!
The tour guide came to our hotel picking us up, and brought us to visit some of the key spots in Cairo: Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo), including the Hanging Church, the Coptic Museum, and the old Roman remains. The tour guide also went beyond the original program plan, taking us to visit the Citadel of Salah El-Din, seeing the fortress and the impressive Mosque of Muhammad Ali. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and we learned a great deal of the local history from her.
The only thing I'd recommend for future improvements consideration, is before taking guests to visit some shops, ask them if they would be interested, and skip those if guests are not interested. We understand that many tourist places often including store visits as a way for revenue generation, which is fine if guests are ready to do some shopping, and it's just that the sales pressure at some of the shops reduced the fun for an otherwise excellent tour program.
Overall, this vendor and the tour guide were excellent, and worth the time and money for a day trip to the key spot of the Coptic area. The visit to the Citadel of Salah El-Din is definitely an added bonus!
Highly recommended!

We had an awesome time...
We had an awesome time with Ayoub! He was very knowledgeable, personable, and kind. The day was very well-arranged. Started with history, then the pyramids, then the Sphinx, lunch, and ended with an awesome ATV ride. Highly recommend touring with Ayoub!

Amazing Tour!
Amazing tour - Mahmoud made a really great experience out of this tour - he made it really fun and helped me learn a lot about the pyramids! The information he gave was very well rounded and in a perfect format to digest as a holiday tour. But he could also answer many quite detailed and maybe more untypical questions of mine - He has a lot of in-debt knowledge. However: Most of all the experience was real fun and a damn cool vibe!
(Side note - In retrospect I spent a little too much money in the perfume shop at the end. It's not at all a rip-off, the products are of an excellent and really exceptional quality - but maybe worth taking care ;))
Thank you so much man and sorry for my review being so late XD
I'll hit you up again, next time I come to Egypt :)

Very Good Guide, Very Bad Viator.
The guide was fine, but the tour was rushed. That was not his fault. It was Viator's fault for failing to recognize that the museum closes early during Ramadan. I would recommend the guide, but do not trust Viator to be current on closing times for sites. Viator needs to do a better job of working with local companies to ensure that a four-hour tour is not cut to three hours, as happened to me.

An Amazing Day at the Giza Pyramids
A private guide to tour the pyramids makes the experience much better. My guide Osama was a wonderful guide— knowledgeable and affable. He was also the best photographer— that was a huge bonus.
The driver, Belal, arrived on time to pick me up for the tour. We met up with my guide Osama close to the pyramids. Belal stopped on the way to get me some snacks. That was kind and thoughtful as this was not included in the cost of the trip.
Highly recommended

One of the mosques would...
One of the mosques would not let me in because my elbows to my wrists were showing. Be sure to wear long pants and bring a jacket with hood to cover your head and arms (I did have a scarf covering my head). Otherwise, it was a great experience to get inside the different mosques and learn about the culture.
