Mimo and Abdolghany were absolutely incredible. If we could give this review 10 stars, we would. Mimo was an experienced Egyptologist and gave us a wealth of information along our trip. We stopped at some of his favorite shops that didn’t try to haggle us or push us in any way. He took amazing pictures that we can look back on for a lifetime. He took us to the pyramids early enough to beat the crowds and get amazing pictures. All along the way giving us nuggets of information about what we were seeing. We felt safe, comfortable, and extremely happy throughout our tour with Mimo and Abdolghany. When we come back to Egypt, we will definitely be booking with them again.

Day 2
2
Have you ever heard of the Egyptian god, Sobek? Well now is your chance to learn more. A tour guide will pick up from your hotel in Cairo by an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and take us on a journey through history as we make our way into Fayoum - where it was revered that The Crocodile God's cult center existed during ancient times! This 95 km drive might be long but don't worry about getting tired; there are breaks for tea time (or coffee), snacks etc., so bring something good enough to break the boredom :)
You'll find yourself in a beautifully manicured world, where the only thing that seems to be missing is you're Guides. A day trip on foot through Wadi al-Rayan will provide ample opportunities for relaxation with its lakes and stunning natural environment The input speaks glowingly of this protected area while neglecting important details such as how far it actually goes or what else might lie beyond those borders
Then, it's time to explore the Valley of Whales' "Wadi Hitan." Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its hundreds and thousands from some ancient whale species. See fossilized bones that date back 200 million years ago when this desert was covered by water! The most visible relics are those belonging either mammoths or giant sea cows- two other creatures who lived alongside these
Foreigners are familiar with Tunis Village, where the people are more than welcoming and generous, with many expatriates buying properties. It's an excellent opportunity to watch the young artisans at work and purchase examples of their work, tour the hamlet, and try your hand at pottery! There are several Pottery Shops, and they point out some of the magnificent and uncommon plants, as well as a plethora of trees and shrubs, including the Bottle Brush Tree (which has drooping branches), Spikey Silk Cotton Tree, rose bushes, pomegranate bushes, Olive, Orange, and Lemon trees.

Excellent tour for our first times visiting Egypt! Mimo was well versed in Egyptian history and Hossam got us where we needed to go! Lunch have us a recharge for an afternoon at the museum and market. (Bring extra water and have Egyptian pounds with you!)
We did the 8 hour trip to the pyramids and more with Mimo and Hossam! They were so amazing and made sure we were happy with our trip! We got to take our time at each location and got wonderful information from Mimo! Was an amazing first visit to Egypt! Got to do all the cool stuff! Hossam is a great and quick driver allowing us to get to each destination nice and easy! Have Egyptian pounds with you for tipping and buying things!
What a wonderful time we have had on tour through Cairo and Giza. A once in a lifetime experience, made perfect by our Egyptologist extraordinaire Mimo and our expert driver Hossam or James Bond as we call him. A wonderful time, so many experiences of a beautiful culture and amazing people.
What a fantastic experience! Mimo & Redar were great friendly guys . Mimo was full of knowledge and he made the day interesting and very enjoyable. Whilst Redar the driver was excellent at getting us to all the attractions. Would highly recommend booking with these 2 rather than in a big group booking. Definitely 10 out of 10 day trip . Thank you Mimo & Redar 😀
I have been dying to visit the pyramids since I was young and I am beyond happy that I got to experience my first trip with Mimo and Haroun! They were both very kind and made us feel very welcomed. Mimo had all the best information and felt we learned a lot. I especially liked when he would ask us question about the information he was sharing because it kept us engaged. I will always remember 120 pyramids in Egypt and 9 in Giza! There is a lot of history and we can spend hours, days and weeks discussing but Mimo gave us the highlights and was able to answer all our curious questions. On top of being a tour guide, he was our security guard, photographer and friend. We felt super safe walking through the market and anywhere in general, no one bugged us. I really enjoyed eating lunch and having a nice conversation with him, even though we begged him to sit with us! Also, throughout the trip, Mimo was so popular and saying hi to everyone. He is good at what he does and everyone knows, we made the right choice touring with him! Thank you Mimo and Haroun! We will be back 100% and as well tell all our friends.
Amazing experience, even better tour guide! Mimo and Haroun were perfect. Haroun was a great driver, always ready and managed traffic well. Mimo was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and took great pictures. We went at our own pace and saw everything we wanted to see. Lunch was tasty. The additional places we went had friendly sellers.
We had a fabulous experience exploring Giza and Cairo. We did this tour in one day which was doable but fast paced. I would recommend doing it in 2 days! Mimo was a very knowledgeable and patient guide who made sure our experience was fun and informative. Mohamed was also an excellent driver who kept us safe and was very prompt with all our pickups! The lunch was also delicious. Would do this tour again and recommend to family and friends
Exploring the Great Pyramids of Giza and Cairo guided by Mimo and Yaser was so much fun. Mimo had expert knowledge and was patient with our many questions. We learned so much about the history and culture. Transportation was very spacious with AC — a great respite from the heat. Will definitely return for another adventure and book again.
Had such an amazing time with guide Mimo and our driver Ayman! We beat all the crowds, got the best pictures, and felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Mimo was very knowledgeable and made sure we got to see and do everything on our bucket list! Ayman was a great driver and was always waiting for us right where our activity ended so we never had to wait in the hot sun. Five star service all around!
Mimo from Pyramids Land Private Tours was the best tour guide I’ve ever had ! I was visiting family and friends and vacationing in Egypt and this was my first time visiting the pyramids and other tourist sites. Mimo was amazing from start to finish, he was extremely knowledgeable in everything he shared with us about the history of all the sites we visited and he knew all the amazing places for us to stand and take pictures. The meal he planned for us was very delicious and he made sure we were taken care of the entire tour length. We had a young child with us who cried a lot and Mimo was very patient and understanding and never once got frustrated with us for any delays or having to slow down. The driver Hossam was also amazing. He was always ready to pick us up in every location and tour stop and drove great in an a clean and spacious air conditioned tour truck. Overall this was an amazing experience and I recommend anyone visiting Egypt and wanting the pyramid tour to book with Pyramids Land private tours and ask for Mimo and Hossam!!
Mimmo (guide) and Mohamed (driver) are exceptional people! The car was perfect and the tour spectacular! Pyramids, sphinx, bazaar and Egyptian museum... everything perfect! Mimmo’s Italian is great, he explained everything perfectly and leaves as much time as you want to take pictures (Mimmo is a great photographer, he took great pictures of us). Lunch really good and typical! Super super recommended! Rating 110 and praise!!
Hike to the top with Italian speaking guide, Mimmo and belal were good at their job!!! Recommended to everyone!!
Starting in the morning was the Mimo and Hossam from pyramids land private tours It was a beautiful and informative trip, and we did all enjoy it. The pyramids, the beauty, the sand, and the hole are the most beautiful moments Beautiful fluorine at the restaurant and top-notch process Buddhas come back thousands of years and then the faraon returns to the famous Qasr of the Divine Divine Mr. Hassam and Mr. Mahmud lead us back to Al Fahraya to meet the Annaton, the Habbsot, the Aman Habbs and the Golden Tabot This beautiful boom ends with my little baby crying in front of the cat statue as I shoot onto her and she wants to go to the Toilet 😂😂😂😂😂
The day immediately began optimally, Mimmo, our guide, was super punctual, yes he showed up at the hotel and we left together with Oss, the driver.💪🏼 They immediately showed up nice, patient, and above all very helpful. Mimmo explained step by step what we were going to do, illustrating all the attractions very well. It even made us choose and modify certain stages to our liking. Super flexible! On a positive note, he gave us travel advice all the time that we might not otherwise have known. They left us all the time we needed to see the places and to take pictures (by the way he is a great photographer) 👍🏼 We had lunch in a typical place in Cairo, nice and the food was appreciable. We highly recommend this excursion and this guide, we had a great time! Thanks for everything Mimmo and Oss! 😁😁
