Michael delivers a true 5 stars tour!

Milagros_P, Sep 2023

The Giza plateau, Sakkara, Memphis, are sites that are always in everyone's bucket list, but if you have the good luck to get Michael as guide, you are guaranteed an easy, relaxing, entertaining, enjoyable day. His knowledge, the way he engages with history, culture, he tells all what you need to hear before seeing the sites. You can easily see he loves what he does. Thank you Michael for such a lovely day for Jonathan and I.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Stephanie_B, Apr 2023

Do not book this experience. We had the absolute worst experience with this tour that almost ruined our trip to Giza. First of all, our tour guide Mohammed was the rudest person ever. He did not explained anything to us and didn't go with us for most of the tour. This is experience was an overpriced taxi ride. He was hurrying us most of the experience and we couldn't really experience the monuments. We didn't have time to soak in the history or take pictures. He was mad and rude most of the time. The camel ride was like 5 minutes and he separated the group. At first the tour said it was 8-9 hours long per Viator, and it was really 5 hours. Second, the tour guide said the monuments closed at 2pm but we went there again by our own now and they are open until 3pm during Ramadan. Third, the tour said it included the entrances to those monuments. But he let us enter to the park but not inside of the pyramids or the sphinx or the Saqqara pyramid. All of this because “we didn’t have time.”Also, our tour guide was in a hurry all the time. He didn’t let us enjoy the spaces and take pictures. And he didn’t explain it or walk with us to show us the monuments, and it was advertised that we were going to have an Egyptologist... but we really didn’t. Fourth, the tour included 25 min of camel rides but we only rode camels for 3 minutes by clock and he said that it was a “favor” even though we told him that our reservation included 25 min of it. In addition, he only gave us 5-10min in each place and monument and that was it. He also said that the tour included food and he tried to take us to another restaurant and charge us but he ended up giving us falafel sandwiches and taking us to the hotel. In two occasions instead of taking us to the sites he tried to take us to buy perfumes and papyrus which was not on the agenda. The hold time he had a hostile and rude attitude and seem bothered when we tried to ask him questions about the monument as an Egyptologist…. Overall it was not a good experience and we feel robbed.

An excellent tour and Guide Mohamed Salah and the driver were very good!

We were a couple travelling and we had a wonderful trip around Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis with our guide Mohamed Salah. We did the camel ride also in Giza. The car was clean and new and the driver provided for the tour was also excellent! Mohamed was very knowledgeable and explained so many aspects and details we were not aware of. In addition, he was an excellent photographer and told us where to take quirky and good photographs. We travelled to Memphis and chose to have a delicious shwarma lunch and were dropped off at a hotel in the evening. A very good trip, with an excellent guide!! Will totally recommend this tour for an EGYPT visit.

Great tour. Highly recommend.

I had the great experience with Mohammed. He went above and beyond to make the tour memorable and meet my needs of a tight schedule.

Bien mais pas parfait. Le prix est principalement pour le guide et l’information fournie

Christian_A, Oct 2022

Beau tour des différentes attractions. Bonne information du guide. Chameau était super, prévoir un pourboire pour le chameau! Tour ne dure pas 8h mais pas de rush pour aller vite, sauf pour le sphinx ou il ne pouvait pas stationner, arrêt photos de 5 min
