Literally the best tour I’ve ever been on, and it’s all because of our guide. First, we were picked up at the front door of our hotel, right on time. A large water was given to each of us and then we were off in a nice air conditioned car.
Once we got to our first stop, the Pyramids and the Sphinx, our guide started giving us some history right away on everything and answered any questions we had. From there, and til the end of the day, he was always asking us right at the best moments if we wanted him to take pictures along with making some fun suggestions here and there. He took us to all the best photo spots too to beat the crowds.
Then, we wanted to add on a camel ride, so he knew exactly who to take us to for an incredible experience. After that, as another add on, he offered to take us to some places for souvenirs. We needed a few more gifts, so we accepted the offer. The places are more high end that he took us, but if you’re coming all this way, you’d rather have the real stuff. We did end up crossing some items off our list, so it was worth it.
After that, we had lunch, that was ready within minutes of arriving to the restaurant, so good timing there. Last stop was the Grand Museum, where we quickly got through and inside. We were kind of tired by now, so we asked for the highlights tour, but we could have stayed for hours had we wanted to and our guide would have gladly stayed with us. The whole time he made sure to give us history and insights on everything we saw. Then the trip ended right back at the front door of our hotel as planned.
What made the trip most enjoyable was that as we were traveling with two small children, our guide kept them at any point where he thought it would be better for my wife and I to go off and see things ourselves without us even asking. My son made a new best friend that day!
We will always remember this trip and if you do this tour, you have to ask for Hossam. He’s the absolute best!

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.

I think this tour was too expensive for what I received. Overall it was good. The driver was great. The tour guide spoke English well. Minor issues, guide and driver spoke most of the time to each other in Arabic. I didn't want to interrupt them when I had a question. Guide was also on their phone a lot having phone conversations. That was really off putting. Also, the two stops to buy things were really annoying and a waste of time. I didn't appreciate how we didn't have a lot of time for everything else, but managed to fit time for those two stores that I didn't ask to go into. I wish this practice would end. Other than that guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their job and about Egyptian history.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience with us.
We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall tour and that both the driver and guide made a positive impression through their professionalism, English skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm for Egyptian history. That truly means a lot to us.
That said, we sincerely apologize for the aspects of the tour that fell short of your expectations. We understand how uncomfortable it can feel when conversations take place in another language during a private tour, and we regret that this made it harder for you to ask questions. Your guide’s use of their phone during the tour is also not in line with our standards, and we take this feedback very seriously.
Regarding the shopping stops, we completely understand your frustration. These stops should never feel obligatory or take time away from the main highlights of the experience, especially when they were not requested. Your comments reinforce the importance of giving guests full control over how their time is spent, and we are actively working to reduce and better manage these practices.
Your feedback has been shared with our team so we can improve both guide conduct and tour flow going forward. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us deliver a better experience for future travelers.
Thank you again for touring with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.
An absolutely incredible tour, especially thanks to Mo.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough, particularly if you’re lucky enough to have Mo as your guide. He is hands down one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had, especially in Egypt. Mo is professional, charismatic, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask.
He truly made our day unforgettable and we honestly wished we could have had him for all of our tours in Egypt. We were beyond impressed. Mo is an absolute legend!
The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The van was spotless and comfortable with a very professional driver, and the food was delicious. Everything was perfectly organised, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the experience.

We have just had the most amazing tour of the pyramids, sphinx and camel rides with Hossam, who exceeded all our expectations! He absolutely made the trip and it would not have been the same without him! His knowledge is fantastic and he made the whole tour really interesting and engaging for our family. Most importantly we felt extremely well looked after whilst with him. Giza can feel very chaotic and he took full control and made sure we were at all the best places quickly and efficiently. He also took the most amazing photos and sent them all immediately! He knows the best photo spots and poses and just made everything super fun and easy! I would absolutely recommend Hossam to anyone visiting Giza, having a brilliant guide will make all the difference to your trip, well well worth it! Communication was great throughout and the lunch spot he took is to was also very good as well as the driver, car was very comfortable with air conditioning. Brilliant trip! Thankyou Hossam, you were wonderful!

Mo is a talented and engaging guide. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the Giza necropolis and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Mo was able to customize the tour for my specific interests, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this tour of Egypt’s “must see” sights.

If you're looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Egypt, look no further than A1 Egypt tours. I had the privilege of having Hossam as my private guide for the day and our good driver Hani.
Hossam is a great Egyptologist, who not only knows the place but also has an incredibly warm personality, friendly, and charming that truly made my trip memorable.
From the pyramids of Giza to the breathtaking galleries of the Great Egyptian Museum, Hossam always had fascinating insights and stories to share about the history, culture, and traditions of Egypt. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled, and his passion for his work is infectious. He even offered we make some short stops to places not originally included in our tour, like the Papyrus Institute, the essential oil shop and the Spices. And of course, my Egyptian tour would not be complete without a taste of an authentic Koshari. He brought me to the best Koshari restaurant and I absolutely enjoyed it! And before we separated ways, he treated me to probably the best mango juice ever.
But what sets Hossam apart is his remarkable kindness and willingness to go above and beyond his duties for his guest. I realized I needed a traveling bag to carry the souvenirs I bought and without hesitation, he literally went ahead and look for one himself—searching through nearby shops until we found the perfect bag for me. This level of care and dedication is rare, and it made me feel genuinely valued as a guest.
In addition to his professionalism, Hossam's warmth and charm made every moment enjoyable. He has a wonderful sense of humor; he seems to be friends to everyone we meet during the tour and a genuine interest in ensuring I have the best experience possible.
I highly recommend Hossam and also Mr. Hani to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a foodie, or simply someone looking to explore the beauty of Egypt, they will make your journey truly special. Trust me—you'll leave not only with incredible memories but also with a new friend. I know because I did.

We had an unforgettable experience touring the Egyptian Pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum with Mina Samy as our guide and Sayed as our driver. Mina was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian history. His explanations were clear, engaging, and brought the ancient sites to life.
Sayed was also wonderful — a skilled driver who navigated Cairo’s traffic with ease and made the journey very comfortable. He was punctual, professional, and very friendly throughout the day.
The entire tour was well-organized, smooth, and full of fascinating moments. I highly recommend Mina and Sayed to anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you both for making the day so special and memorable for us.

Hossam Gamal is definetely the best tour guide in whole Egypt! He is very sympathic, fullfills all your wishes and is very well educaded. He managed to get us the best photos, protected us from scammers, gave us extra information about the pyramides and Sphinx and took wonderful photos!
Also, he is very honest, when we decided to skip the GEM he gave us the money back.
A true man of honour!
May god bless him and his family!
Every tourist staying in Cairo should contact him, he makes everything possible.
I highly recommend hin to all!

Great guide and driver - both very nice and helpful people. We reduced the tour to our liking (by not going to the GEM) and this was fine,
I would recommend these guys.

Wife and I had an amazing day with Mo and would absolutely recommend him if you desire to get the most out of your time in Cairo. Mo is truly passionate about the history and went above and beyond in his tour, even carrying my backpack as my shoulders were sunburnt from snorkeling a few days prior. If you are looking for the best guide in Cairo, look no further. Thank you Mo!

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Mahmoud Adel Mayo! He was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and patient throughout our tour. Mayo truly anticipated our needs — he thoughtfully bought us water in advance, knowing we would be spending a couple of hours under the sun at the Giza complex.
When a small issue came up with our camel handler asking for an extra tip, Mayo handled it quickly and even apoligized. One of the best parts about having Mayo as our guide was his talent for photography — he took beautiful photos of me and my husband that we will cherish forever.
Mayo’s care, attention to detail, and friendly attitude made our day unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt!

This was great and our tour guide Ibrahim was just the best. Very flexible, adapted to what we wanted to do, and very knowledgeable. We only took the car and guide and paid for our tickets ourselves and it worked well. We entered by the brand new entrance and it was not busy at all at.
Would recommend.
