Amazing day exploring Egypt with Mimmo

Peter_L, Oct 2025
We had an amazing day with Mimmo. He took us around the Giza area to see the three pyramids and the Sphinx, then to the Dahshur area to explore the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, followed by Memphis and Sakkara with the Step Pyramid and more. He even treated us to delicious falafel and shawarma along the way. Mimmo was so kind, bubbly, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed learning about ancient Egypt with him and getting insight into both the ancient and modern culture. He is very funny, always smiling, and you can tell he is passionate and truly loves his job. He was also very open and honest with us, letting us make our own decisions and never pushing us into anything. The sites are absolutely amazing, and everyone should experience these ancient wonders with someone as genuine and enthusiastic as Mimmo.

We visited Sawqara,...

We have done 5 private tours in Egypt in this trip with different tour operators. All of them had contact with me from the evening before. In 2 cases they informed me for delay because of serious reasons. At this tour noone contacted and after half an hour waiting on the road outside of our hotel I sent them message. They told us to wait 1 hour more. We went back to reception. We lost 1 and half hour of our sleep and breakfast. When driver and guide came told us no Dahshur tour. I showed the guide the tour I have planned and paid and then he agreed to go. I had request different drop off at time of booking (something that was ok to other tour operators) and asked 30 euro extra in van??? They did so because I couldn't cancel and take my money back after starting the tour. After destroying our mood the tour operator accepted to drop off us where I had request. If he didn't do so he would get only 1 star. The rest after my pressure was ok as planned. Our driver Mohamed Nabil was good and our guide Mohamed Samara explained perfectly everything. Thanks them.

Excellent tour

Amazing tour, our guide was the best, he helped us with taking nice pictures around the great sites of pyramids. I give this tour a 10/10 for someone who wants to see all of this in just one day.

This was the highlight of our trip to Cairo Egypt. Our tour guide Mimmo was amazing! He did a fantastic job from the beginning to the end of our day tour. He was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history. I have to add that he did outstanding with taking cool and creative photos of my boyfriend and I. It is not everyday that one gets to visit a place like Egypt (especially coming from North America) so it is very important to spend time wisely while visiting. Thank you Mimmo for an awesome experience!

Great tour!
