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.

Great trip to Alex with Mohamed

We had a great experience in our trip to Alexandria. Our guide, Mohamed was very helpful and answered our many questions. The trip was well organized and we enjoyed seeing each site. We particularly liked the catacombs and our time at the new library. Thanks for a great day in Alexandria!

A Truly Memorable Tour Thanks to Neveen

Neveen was an amazing guide, she really was a key part for making this experience a success. She knows her stuff, went above and beyond providing excellent information about the piramids at Giza, and also provided about other piramids around the world. Really recommend! And bonus points is that she has a great ability to get amazing pictures for you. The service provided by Neveen in Spanish. But she can provide the service in various languages. Again I want to say fully recommended. Thank you!

This helped alot!

I had a great time with my group! We got the boat to our selves which was nice to watch the sunset and get great pictures on the Nile! Got to eat a traditional plate & headed straight to the market! It was a great time and Amr made me feel so comfortable! Was actually so happy he helped us through the market bc being a solo women in eygpt is definitely overwhelming in the beginning. And this was my first tour so it lead to a better day after all! Thank you again for the tour and the information that you gave!

Half Day Tour To Memphis Sakkara And Dahshur Pyramids

Patrick_R, Apr 2026

Friendly and helpful driver

Alaa (Aladdin) was an extremely patient and friendly driver. I did the half day tour to Saqqara/Dhashur/Memphis and he took me to each site and more comfortably and safely. I'd definitely recommend. He did ask me at one point if I wanted to visit a carpet museum, to which I replied "no" and that was that. (I'd read reviews from some people saying they were driven round tourist trap shops). Would definitely recommend, just make sure you know what you want to see and where you want to go - Alaa's English was quite poor (we communicated with Google translate), so consider this a personal driver/Uber as opposed to a tour. Sidenote: I only paid for car+driver, there are also car+driver+guide options but I cannot speak for those

A fantastic experience!

Andrew was absolutely fantastic—professional, attentive, and incredibly kind throughout the entire experience. He was always available, engaged wonderfully with my child, and made everything enjoyable and stress-free. He truly listened to our needs and wishes, ensuring every detail was taken care of. On top of that, he took beautiful photos and explained everything clearly and thoughtfully. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommended!

Excellent Tour !!!

We had an incredible experience visiting the Giza Pyramids with our amazing tour guide and driver! Traveling with my wife and daughter, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of us. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate—bringing the history of the pyramids to life in a way that kept all of us engaged, even my daughter. Every detail was explained clearly, and all our questions were answered with enthusiasm. Our driver was just as impressive—professional, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Navigating the busy areas around Giza is no easy task, but he handled it with ease. Together, they made our day smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking to explore the pyramids stress-free and with a personal touch!

Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara

Scottie_R, May 2025

Great first day tour in cairo

Usam and our driver were awesome to spend the day touring some of these amazing sites. I like the fact that we started in Memphis and Saqqara which avoided some of the crowds. Usam was engaging, helped us with goo picture sites and even how to avoid some of the scams with come vendors. We had a lunch of Kaosharo which was INCREDIBLE! We finished off the day at the Giza complex. It was a great tour for the value. The only items that were not on the original itenerary was a stop at an essential oil “museum” shop and a papyrus “museum” which was kind of not what we had planned. The oil shop was a sales job and while the products were nice (we actually bought a small bottle) it was a bit high pressure and we didn’t really want to shop like this. We simply asked to skip the papyrus shop because we figured it would be the same, so I would simply ask to skip those parts if you did not want to shop. Overall, we loved our day with Usam ! thank you!
