Pyramid tour
Passant (guide) and Capoo (driver) were outstanding. Passant has a very deep historical knowledge of the pyramids and ancient Egypt. She did a great job of communicating with each of us. Capoo did a wonderful job navigating the streets of Cairo and keeping us safe.

Our great guide, Nashat
Nashat is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, science, and art of the pyramids of Giza and the Great Egyptian Museum. He was very kind and patient to us, and he was very accommodating when we were getting exhausted. He was very honest about what to do and what not to do as a tourist and he gave us tips on how to handle vendors. He was on time and always on the dot with all the activities. Would definitely recommend Nashat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mohammed Osama is the best tour guide we had so far!!!!
After a very disappointing Tour, We decided to cancel and move here in Viator. It was our luck to come across this tour and met our amazing Egyptologist guide - Osama. He actually took us to the sides of the famous sites and showed us other details and artifacts apart from the main ones. He also shared stories and beliefs about the rulers. Ask him anything about Egypt and he knows. The usual tour guide would just leave you in the site without explanation. He also explained the hieroglyphics very well and told the stories on it.
We enjoyed our day better than all other tours we had.
Tip: Whenever youre booking this activity - Just add in notes: To please book your tour guide to be Mohammed Osama.

Safe, Secure and Fantastic
Mahmoud is the best guide there is for the great Pyramids and great egyptian museum tours.
He is very confident with what he does, he speaks English fluently, he answers questions on what you need to know.
He shares his wealth of knowledge regarding the Pyramids and GEM.
He communicated with us a night before and the morning of the tour.
Again, he is the best.
Thank you.
His driver Abul-layla is also an awesome man.
With them, you can go around and feel safe.

Mira did a great job...
Mira did a great job along with the driver. They picked us up on time, were patient with us and provided good info. She was very knowledgeable and also helped take great care of pictures at the pyramid. She recommended a great lunch buffet place and showed us a few other places like the papyrus museum.

Great experience
We had an amazing experience visiting the pyramids! Ahmed was a fantastic guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and even spoke Greek, which made everything even better. He took us everywhere and made sure we saw as much as possible. Our driver was also excellent and drove us safely throughout the day. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Excellent Day Trip from Cairo to Alexandria
We had an excellent day trip from Cairo to Alexandria and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Our tour guide was absolutely brilliant — very kind, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable throughout the day and shared a wealth of information about Alexandria’s Greek history, culture, and significant landmarks.
The tour was very well recommended, and we learnt a great deal along the way. It was a fantastic opportunity to discover more about Egypt and experience another of its fascinating cities. The lunch was also nice and provided a welcome break during a busy day of sightseeing.
Although it is a long day, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the time. The combination of interesting sights, informative commentary, and a wonderful tour guide made it a memorable trip.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo who wants to explore Alexandria and learn more about Egypt’s rich history. An excellent experience from start to finish!

Amazing day with Haitham!
An awesome day trip, and a wonderful, friendly, enthusiastic guide called Haitham. We did and saw so many things and there were many highlights including the jeep ride through the Western Sahara, the 40million year old whale bones, beautiful views and Bedoin music and lunch. Highly recommend!

Day trip to Alexandria from Giza (Car & driver & audio guide) booked an english speaking guide laterguide later on
I had booked a day trip for Aug 31, 2026 from Giza to Alexandria (only car and driver with audio guide). I was apprehensive and was not sure what we were up for. As soon as I had finished my booking the tour operator recommended that having a tour guide is beneficial and I decided to book an english speaking guide.
I was relieved when we were contacted the day before with details of the driver etc. The car ( large 12 seater vehicle) with driver came to pick us from our hotel.
Our guide met our group in Alexandria and took us around. Unfortunately I can't remember his name however he was excellent. We had a wonderful trip. The guide took us to some places which were not on the list. We visited the Royal Palace green house and it was beautiful. There was an entrance ticket however it was worth it.
At the end of the tour, we ended up booking our lunch through our guide. The restaurant by the sea was very good and so was the food. We also met a wonderful young couple from Turkey and we had a great time together.
I never used to write reviews however I now realize it is important to provide a review so that future tourists are well informed and not apprehensive. We had a wonderful time. I would book them again without hesitation. I highly recommend tour guides.
Mahmoud my contact was excellent in clarifying the details and making our visit a memorable one. Thanks Mahmoud.

Great day in Cairo
Mizo was incredible he is one of the best tour guides ever, he is so funny and passionate about his work, he explains history through the human experience not through dates and boring facts. I loved visiting the churches, the Mosques I was not too excited about however they were actually beautiful and so interesting to learn about . I love the respect Mizo showed for the churches. I needed to buy a special gift at the church and he made sure I got what I wanted and also let me stay longer and enjoy the atmosphere

The trip was quite well...
The trip was quite well managed, Mostafa our guide was exceptional, very friendly, guided us throughout, we had amazing and intriguing conversations regarding the pyramids, the pharaohs, the Egyptians and so much more.
It was really fun and would love to someday be back and have an extended tour guided by Mostafa for other activities and historical places in Egypt/Cairo.

Osama and Moody changed my life!
Osama is a professional,knowledgeable,respectful,responsible,kind, genuine,gentleman. He made my tour even more magnificent. I felt like I belonged. I felt like family. Please ask for Osama. Moody my driver was professional and kind. A very reliable and respectful man. I wish they were truly my blood. Osama explained the ancient Egyptian history and everybody knows him and always has positive things to say about him. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and they both were a true genuine gentleman. I am still in awe. Osama took over 50 pictures and taught me how to pose. He also connected me with wonderful local spots. They were quality spaces. I fell in love with Egypt!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The sprawling metropolis of Cairo is rich with historic sights and cultural experiences—and the logistics of taking them all in can be overwhelming in this bustling Egyptian city. The best way to visit ancient pyramids, sail on an authentic felucca, take photos of the Great Sphinx, or ride a camel is with one of the many Cairo day trips available to visitors. Some sightseeing tours feature the services of a professional Egyptologist guide who can provide more in-depth insight than a simple guidebook. Also, consider a day trip from Cairo to legendary Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea.
