• 5Fantastic from start to finish

  We had a fantastic experience on our pyramids tour and would highly recommend it! Our driver was extremely professional, friendly and reliable. The car was spotless, comfortable and had excellent air conditioning, with complimentary water provided, which was very welcome in the Cairo heat. The drive to Giza was smooth and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Mustafa, was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. He was friendly, approachable and very patient, giving us plenty of time to look around, take photos and enjoy the pyramids without ever feeling rushed. The delicious lunch included in the tour was another highlight, especially being able to enjoy it with a beautiful view of the pyramids. Everything was very well organised from start to finish. Having such a professional driver and an excellent guide like Mustafa made our visit to the pyramids truly memorable. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo! Definitely book the whole package which includes lunch and camel ride such good value!! Thank you for making our 20th wedding anniversary so special Mostafa!

  Aya was an amazing guide, photographer, and historian! She did an amazing job of educating us on the history and culture while also making the day fun and giving us options to choose from in terms of what we did. I highly recommend if you book with this company to ask for Aya!!

• 5Great solo experience!

  Whole experience went so smoothly! Driver was prompt and safe, the car was new, clean, and comfortable. Meena, my guide, was knowledgeable and helpful, helped me get great pics, and was super flexible. Whole tour was whatever I wanted it to be. We spent as much time at each pyramid as I wanted, and I appreciated her insights into Egyptian history. I am happy I booked this tour, as a solo traveler it was everything I hoped it would be.

Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
