Ayoub was the best!
Ayoub made our visit to the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, our camel ride, and lunch at 9 Pyramids Lounge an unforgettable 5-star experience. He was attentive, informative, and incredibly thoughtful from start to finish.
He reached out the evening before our trip to introduce himself and provide a detailed itinerary for the day, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. His driver, Mina, met us at our hotel on time, and once we arrived at the Giza complex, Ayoub was there ready to welcome us. That’s when the fun truly began!
It was another magical day in Egypt. Ayoub shared great information, made sure we were comfortable, and helped create such a memorable experience. He is also an amazing photographer and captured beautiful moments for us throughout the day. I highly recommend Ayoub to anyone visiting the pyramids!

Take this tour and ask for Wehad!
This was such a great experience. I do not consider myself a "museum person" but with all the hype wanted to see what GEM had to offer. We booked this tour for our first day and wow I am so happy we did! Wehad was an incredible guide through the museum and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is an Egyptologist and so so knowledgeable. She held my attention walking us through the museums exhibit for hours. She got our vibe immediately - you can tell she adjusts based on her audience and she 100% read us right and kept things engaging for us specifically. She knows how to deal with the crowds and really customized the whole experience based on the audience and the number of people in the museum. We had is incredibly kind and passionate about not just her culture but also making a connection with her clients. She took us to a government sanctioned jewelry shop after the tour and after going into other gold shops through Egypt I can definitely confirm she took us to one with very reasonable prices. I got a cartouche and got to watch them weld it in the back which was pretty cool. Highly recommend this tour.

Group dynamics are important
Different than expected, beause we couldn't really shop at the bazar. Spend a lot of time in traffic and in our group was a boring couple.
BUT we loved the NileCruise and the guide really tried his best. Went out of his way to get the kids shawarma.
To us we would prefer to do this without a guided group , what seems very doable. We would be more free and the atmosphere would be better.

We had the absolute best day exploring the pyramids on a private tour with Ghada! She was amazing organizing everything, her level of knowledge unbelievable and I honestly don’t think we could’ve been in better hands. Her passion and love for history and her culture shined through in every aspect and that made our experience even more special! Shout out to our driver Mr Islam too!!! Thanks again and will definitely recommend to anyone I know that plans to visit!

We chose the later pick up because we were so tired from travel. Just know that the pyramids will be more crowded and to go inside the Greta pyramid it is very very hot and crowded at those times. So consider going early even if you’re tired.
Mona was a great tour guide. Letting us take our time and taking great photos of our family. She was very knowledgeable.
I loved the camel ride too. Make sure you bring money for tips for the camel ride and for the guide of course! We got our hair wrapped at the pyramids, more expensive probably but worth it!
All the shops at the pyramids are very nice. We got gelato but you can easily get snacks or drinks.
Lunch was just ok. They could choose a better spot.

I had such a fantastic time with Hassen Ghanem. We spent the day in the Egyptian museum and the pyramids and he's a fantastic guide. He's so knowledgeable, patient with all random questions & I would highly recommend getting a private guide while you are in Cairo!

Coptic Cairo
I had a phenomenal tour with my tour guide Selvia and driver Raafat. Selvia in particular was such a treat: she was energetic and genuinely interested in helping people understand the unique aspects of Coptic Cairo as well as connecting with them. One can truly tell she loves what she does and shows deep attention to the history and stories that make each destination come alive. Also, this tour company went above and beyond in accommodating a last minute booking from me. They arranged everything within an hour of me making a same day booking after my former plans fell through and thanks to them I got to see much more than I planned with an exceptional tour guide. Highly recommend both this company and specific tour!

Wonderful Tour
This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Our guide named Tigo was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing the history behind each place we visited. He replayed to everything we asked him with detail.
The pace of the tour was perfect, giving us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.
Overall, it was a fun, informative, and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area and looking to learn more while having a great time. Definitely one of the best activities of our trip!

Confirmation was prompt...
Confirmation was prompt and the pickup was on time. I messaged the tour provider the day before, but they never responded. Upon arrival, the driver had to park at the end of the bridge because the Hilton didn't allow him to drive onto the hotel grounds. While he wasn't initially sure of the locations for two of the tombs, we found them after he asked for directions.
Note to future travelers: Bring your own water, as none was provided. I also paid a total of 50 EGP for parking at Saqqara and Dahshur. Additionally, the driver asked for 10 EGP to tip the guard at Dahshur; I gave him 50 EGP and told him to keep the change for other tips. I only witnessed him tipping once, though he claimed at the end of the tour that he had distributed the full amount to various guards.

Great experience
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.

If you want to get the best from Cairo in one day, this is the tour to go for! Our guide Amira was excellent! She’s an Egyptologist and was very knowledgable. She was one of the best guides we had during our time in Egypt and would recommend the tour with her to everyone. Our driver Mohammed was very good and polite as well. He came about 15 minutes before the scheduled time and drove us safely through the crazy traffic in Cairo and back to our hotel in Giza. We booked just Car and Guide and there were no problems with buying the tickets on-site. Even in high season there were no queues and you can pay by card everywhere, except the 50E£ car fee to the Citadel.

Our guide, Mario was very personable and knowledgeable and took the time to cover the material as well as our questions. Very informative tour that will encourage further study into the area. Many of the structures were simply awe-inspiring from within. Lovely tour!
