Fantastic!

There was both a driver and guide, and they both took excellent care of me! The guide seemed really knowledgeable about the pyramids, sphinx, etc, and his English was good. I really enjoyed the camel ride also, and the young man who led the camel was a wonderful photographer also. I was given the chance to visit a market with some great products at the end; if you agree to this, be prepared for a hard sell (but also a delicious traditional tea and much hospitality). Thank you!

Just book it - you will love this tour!

Unbelievable experience. We were lucky to have Osama as our tour guide. He connected with our family right away and was amazing. If you are thinking of a tour, don’t look further and book this one. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent experience

We had one of our best experiences at the Giza Pyramids, and this credit 10/10 goes to Mohammed, who was our tour guide for the day! He has impressive knowledge, and I recommend him! He also accommodate us, taking plenty of pictures of myself and also he very helpful, loaning us money until we got to an ATM, sharing Hotspot, and not to forget the delicious fancy lunch we had “grilled pigeon.” Best experience and best pictures!

Amazing Experience

My tour guide Nesma went above and beyond to make sure I understood all of the history of the pyramids. She was very helpful with photos and made sure my tour was easy and enjoyable. Camel ride was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Car service arrived early and dropped me off with no issues. 5 star service I rate this company and my tour guide Nesma 10/10

Amazing Tour

Osama took us on an amazing tour. He pickup us on time and we felt safe. Osama gave us a lot of Egyptian history we was amazed. We did some shopping after the tour which was great.

Ottimo servizio

Pick up in hotel con guida che parla italiano, hanno già i biglietti e arrivando presto la mattina non si trova molta gente. Ti portano da un posto all’altro con il pullmino evitando lunghe camminate sotto il sole. Se vuoi entrare nelle piramidi all’inizio di fan fare biglietto extra. Giro in cammello incluso. Mancia quasi obbligatoria. Ottimo servizio che ti evita coda, sole e caldo. Se visiti il sito il venerdì,loro giorno di riposo, ti evita le orde di turisti locali.
