We had such an amazing time with Ayoub! He showed us all of the Pyramids, the sphinx, tombs, had excellent knowledge about the history behind every aspect, and gave us ample time to take photos. He also took photos and videos of us. He's very easygoing and such a great guide. Would highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience! Rasha, our guide, was well-informed, accommodating and excellent with our child. They were on time and the transport was air-conditioned and clean. The experience at the pyramids was fantastic. We particularly enjoyed climbing inside the Great Pyramid (although caution that this is not suitable for anyone who has any breathing difficulties/ issues with confined spaces/ problems with knees). My daughter loved the camel ride too. Highly recommended!

An amazing day visiting pyramids with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Depending on your physical condition, I would recommend asking the guide which pyramids are more difficult to explore inside, we ran into people who were having trouble getting out.

The tour was simply amazing! Our driver was extremely accommodating of our delayed start, and the guide was very well versed with her knowledge of Egyptian history. She paid heed to all of our questions and requests very carefully! 10/10 would recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hussam from GEM Explore Egypt tour company was an absolutely outstanding tour guide and made our day unforgettable. He took my sisters and me to Saqqara and Memphis, where we saw the incredible Step, Bent, and Red Pyramids, along with the Sphinx in Memphis. His knowledge was impressive—he explained everything in a way that was both informative and genuinely engaging—and his sense of humor kept us laughing the entire time. What really stood out was how much he cared about our experience. Hussam made sure we were comfortable, having fun, and getting the most out of every stop. He also took amazing photos of us, capturing moments we’ll truly treasure for a lifetime. We chose to visit these pyramids before seeing the Great Pyramid, and it was the perfect decision—far less crowded and much easier to explore, which made the experience even more special. He also brought us to a restaurant with beautiful views of the pyramids, and the lunch was delicious. I also want to highlight our driver, who was extremely professional and a very safe, skilled driver. His car was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made traveling between sites smooth and relaxing. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and fun guide—with a great team behind him—Hussam and GEM Explore Egypt are the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

We booked the all-inclusive package for us & our 10 year old daughter, during a day trip to Cairo from Sharm El Sheik. Communication from our guide, MARCO was brilliant from the start & he messaged me on WhatsApp the night before to confirm arrangements. Having done so, I cannot image doing a trip like this without a guide & driver. It made everything so much smoother, without worrying about where to go, how to navigate ticket sites & beat the crowds. MARCO was extremely knowledgeable & very personable, making our tour interactive as well involving our daughter as much as possible. She especially enjoyed learning how to read the hieroglyphics! We started the morning at the Great Pyramids & Sphinx, then had a great spot for lunch picked out by MARCO where we tried some traditional Egyptian food & had a personalised experience in a local essence shop, which was an extra treat. We then had the rest of our time visiting the GEM & the Tutankhamun exhibition, before stopping off to get a glimpse of the River Nile. MARCO managed to fit so much into our day trip & really maximised the time without making it feel rushed. It really was a fantastic day trip, well worth it. Pick up & drop off from the airport was prompt & smooth, our driver AYMAN had it all in hand, so we didn't have to worry about missing our flight back. AYMAN was very polite & courteous, always there promptly when we were ready to move on, keeping us well stocked in water & chocolate too! Both MARCO & AYMAN provided an excellent, friendly & personable experience. We will definitely recommend the all-inclusive package to friends, as it just takes the hassle out of everything, meaning we only have great memories & not the stress that navigating these things can sometimes take. We would not have been able to do it without either of them. Great tour! Thank you.

It was an awesome experience seeing alot of Cairo whilst with the driver. Raafat our driver was courteous, well-spoken in English and so patient with us as he explained his way through the drive of the various places to visit. He generously waited for us until we came out of the busy market, without even getting annoyed with us. Thank you for the great services!

Rasha was excellent. We would have been fairly lost going round the pyramids without a guide - it’s fairly chaotic - so very glad indeed we had her and the wonderful driver too. They respected our request for no shopping trips, and got us back to our hotel in good time for our evening flight. Thank you both, made the day smooth and enjoyable.
