One of the most thrilling and awe...

Kendrick B, May 2017

One of the most thrilling and awe inspiring tours of a life time! Having a guide, Khaled Mamdoh, to share and explain the sites, views, and bring the history to life from my readings made my trip unforgettable. Khaled shared his knowledge, answered my questions, and brought up points of interests, and culturally relevant topics and explanations. Having a personal guided tour is such a better experience than just taking pictures and readings. I highly recommend Khaled for your personal tour of the pyramids and culture.

The tour was perfect! Our guide...

Magdalena K, Oct 2016

The tour was perfect! Our guide Sherif was very nice and told us a lot about Egyptian ancient and modern history, lifestyle and pyramids. The driver drove very safely despite the crazy traffic in Cairo. We also enjoyed the camel tour and made many awesome photos during the day. The restaurant in which we had lunch had a direct view over the pyramids, nice atmosphere and very delicious food. We had a really great time and definitely recommend the tour.
