Essam, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. He arrived early with a clean, air conditioned car and kind driver. We felt comfortable and safe with him, and there were no hard upsells. He even stepped in to protect us from camel riders operators pressuring us to tip extra.

We had a great tour with Marco (guide) and Ayman (driver). Punctual and smooth pickups at all the different stops, Marco had some great off the beaten path spots for photo opportunities and avoiding crowds. He was very patient and able to answer our detailed questions. The day was structured very nicely and we got to experience some local specialty food, perfumes and craftsmanship. Marco gave us a great tour of GEM which was fantastic, he had an amazing way of making the stories come alive. Meya Meya! :)
What an incredible experience! Our guide is truly passionate about history, and her enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. She brings every story to life with fascinating details, engaging explanations, and a wonderful sense of humor. She has such a natural way of making history interesting and entertaining that you completely lose track of time! And here's the truly impressive part: she even managed to keep two teenagers genuinely interested and engaged throughout the tour — and trust me, that's no easy achievement! 😄 That alone deserves an extra star! As a wonderful bonus, she also takes absolutely stunning photos, capturing beautiful memories along the way. Knowledgeable, funny, warm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She doesn't just guide you through history — she makes you fall in love with it! We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended! ❤️
Marco and our driver Abdo guided us superbly to the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We loved the sandwiches which we ate on the way. We had a few extras such as the very interesting talk about papyrus, and Abdo drove us expertly through the traffic back to our hotel. When we return, we will seek Marco out! Thanks Marco and Abdo for a marvellous and unforgettable day in Cairo.
Nevin was an absolute superstar! So informative and so patient. Would recommend to everyone.❤️
Great tour guide, the guide (Mario) was extremely knowledgeable and took us through the citadel, the pyramids and the new museum. He was able to provide a carefree day. Also the driver, Ayman, took us safely through the city. Recommended!
We had a fantastic day put with Nevin. Great communication ahead of the day which meant we felt confident that we were going to have a great day. Nevin was easy to be around, chatting knowledgeably about local culture, history and good places to visit. She made sure we got lots of good pictures and made sure everything was at a the right level for us woth our teenagers!
We spent the whole day with Nevin as a family doing the Pyramids, Sphinx and GEM along with some local food, shopping, sight seeing. Nevin took care of everything including making sure we got fair prices. She was brilliant and great with the children and very knowledgeable- there was not a question she could not answer. I was really impressed how we did GEM in under 3 hrs and saw everything without own personal guide and explanation. It was a personal tour I would not hesitate to book again. Nevin came hight recommended and she is well deserving of the recommendation.
Absolutely brilliant tour of The Sphinx and The Pyramids. Nevin was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge and made sure that we didn’t get ripped off with souvenir stalls and camel rides. Would 100% recommend. Thank you.
Had the most incredible experience with Nevin. The whole day was so well organised and she was so knowledgeable. Everyone we walked past who worked at the pyramids told us we had the best tour guide and we deffo did. Also brought us the most amazing lunch! Amazing day. Would highly recommend. Thankyou Nevin x
We had the best time with Nevin! She made sure to explain every detail and got the perfect spot for the best views and pictures! Charismatic and very friendly, she made our tour the best experience for my first time in Cairo. Highly recommend.
5 stars! Highly recommended. We booked a tour of the pyramids and the museum, and our tour guide, Hassan Ghanem, was absolutely wonderful! Even though our English isn't very good, he made an effort to speak slowly so we could understand him. We love taking photos, and we spent quite a bit of time at each spot, but he was so kind and patient, telling us, "Take your time!" He managed the schedule perfectly—ensuring we had plenty of time for photos and even helping us pick out souvenirs. We were so happy with him as a guide! Hassan Ghanem, we love you!!! Our "papa"!
Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and friendly. Professional and well paced tour, so we could enjoy the sights. Would recommend.
The experience was really good. Our guide was my favorite. She gave us the history about the pyramids and was very friendly. Would recommend her 💯
Very excellent service, very friendly and knowledgeable guide. My colleagues and I enjoyed the tour at the pyramids. I highly recommend this service.
Deluxe Tours Egypt was exceptional from start to finish and made this whole experience more memorable by the planning, the English speaking tour guide the excellent driver and tour guide knowledge about the history of ancient Egypt ( Marco ). The trip was tailored to our requirements and it was a day we will always remember. Thank you to you all and we will be back for more of Ancient Egypt ! Ian F UK
Our Cairo tour was exceptionally well organised, and Cairo has been the highlight of our trip so far! ❤️ There are two reasons for this: the magnificent pyramids and Museum,without a doubt, our incredible tour guide, Marco, who made the entire experience so wholesome and memorable. Marco was incredibly friendly, especially with families, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. He also amazed us with his fantastic photography skills! Honestly, I don’t think we could have captured such beautiful pictures ourselves. 📸✨ The kids absolutely loved him and especially enjoyed his fun quiz sessions. What made it even more special was how he turned history into something exciting and engaging. The children were learning, revising and remembering historical facts without even realising they were studying! I’m sure they’ll carry these valuable historical memories with them for years to come. Marco wasn’t just a tour guide; he made the whole experience feel personal, educational and full of joy. He was undoubtedly the best guide we had throughout our entire trip. Thank you, Marco, for making our Cairo experience so special! 🇪🇬❤️
My husband and I are visiting Egypt from the United States for the very first time, and we honestly could not have asked for a better introduction to this incredible country. We booked the Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Tour with Deluxe Tours Egypt, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. Ebrahim Taye is an extraordinary guide who went above and beyond in absolutely every way. Arriving in a new country can be overwhelming, especially with the traffic, crowds, and unfamiliar surroundings. From our prompt pickup to the comfortable, air-conditioned private transportation, Ebrahim and our wonderful driver made everything feel seamless. We never had to worry about navigating the chaos ourselves. Instead, we could relax, feel taken care of, and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Ebrahim’s knowledge of Egyptian history is incredible. He didn’t simply show us the sights; he brought the history to life. I found myself completely captivated by his explanations, learning far more than I ever imagined possible. Standing before the pyramids, seeing the Sphinx, and exploring the Grand Egyptian Museum were already extraordinary experiences, but having someone so knowledgeable and passionate guide us through them made everything even more meaningful. And then there was the photography! Ebrahim is an absolutely phenomenal photographer and videographer. He knew exactly where to position us, how to frame the shots, and how to capture the most incredible angles. He patiently guided us, took wonderful videos, and gave us photographs I will treasure for the rest of my life. I genuinely cannot believe how beautiful they turned out! He somehow captured moments that make me feel like I’m reliving the experience all over again. This thoughtful extra made our day even more special. Even lunch was handled with such care. We had never tried koshari or falafel before, and we discovered we absolutely loved them! Ebrahim took care of ordering our food, so we didn’t even have to leave the comfort of the air-conditioned car. It might seem like a small detail, but it perfectly reflects his attentiveness and the way he consistently anticipated our needs. What stood out most was how personal the entire experience felt. We never felt like just another booking on a busy tourist itinerary. Ebrahim was warm, personable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we had an incredible day. He and our driver worked together beautifully, and their familiarity with the area and the logistics made everything run smoothly. I had wondered whether it would be possible to experience so much in one day without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Ebrahim made it possible, and he made it enjoyable from beginning to end. If you are traveling to Egypt for the first time, especially from the United States, please consider this tour. Having a guide who combines deep historical knowledge, exceptional organization, thoughtful hospitality, and outstanding photography makes an enormous difference. You get so much more than sightseeing; you get an experience that feels personal, enriching, and unforgettable. Ebrahim, thank you for sharing your beautiful country and its incredible history with us. You helped make our first day in Egypt one of the most memorable days of our trip. We are still in awe of everything we saw, and we are so grateful that you were the person who guided us through it all. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough. You are a true treasure of Egypt, and we will remember this day—and your kindness—for years to come. 🇪🇬❤️🤍🖤
An enjoyable day at the Pyramids and GEM. We were picked up promptly at 8 AM from our driver. We stopped and picked up our guide and continued on into Giza to the Pyramids. Our guide was very nice, knowledgeable and took some awesome photos of us at the pyramids. Then we had a to-go lunch and continued on to the GEM, for a guided tour. I am taking away a star because we were hoping for more free time to wander through the GEM, but it is a true guided tour. I also didn’t realize the lunch is to go in the back of the car. It was tasty, don’t get me wrong! I was just under the impression it was more of a proper sit down lunch; which it is not. We did end up saying something to our guide who let us wander the GEM for about 30 minutes on our own. If you enjoy a true guided museum tour, this is for you. If not, I would recommend only booking a guide for the pyramids. All in all, we had a great day and our guide Ibrahim was so kind and knowledgeable. We certainly learned much more than we would have had we gone it alone.
Our guide Nevin was just amazing, extremely knowledgeable, she treated us like family. She amazed me with all the people she knows and great places to eat. I learnt lots about life in Egypt for the locals, she truly wants you to have an amazing memoriable time. Such a fun lady!
Nashat is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, science, and art of the pyramids of Giza and the Great Egyptian Museum. He was very kind and patient to us, and he was very accommodating when we were getting exhausted. He was very honest about what to do and what not to do as a tourist and he gave us tips on how to handle vendors. He was on time and always on the dot with all the activities. Would definitely recommend Nashat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great day exploring the Giza Plateau with our private guide, Nashat. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took care to see that we had an outstanding visit during our first trip to Egypt. We had changed our itinerary a bit and had gone to the GEM the day prior and Nashat suggested going to the Museum of Civilization, it was a great pivot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The mummies are amazing to see.
Our Egyptologist guide made this tour special. Do not go to the Great Pyramids without a guide, and most importantly, do not go without an Egyptologist. The pyramids are impressive on their own, but without someone explaining what you are looking at, you will miss most of it. Our guide brought the whole place to life, answered every question, and made the day feel easy instead of overwhelming. Ten stars. I would book this exact tour again.
This was a great trip! Nashat is a fantastic host and is very knowledgeable. An ideal way to see the best parts of the Giza Pyramids and GEM all while avoiding the crowds.
Safe and courteous driver..Abdu Fun, engaging and knowledgeable tourguide..Abrahim Excellent day at the Pyramids, Sphinx and GEM
We were very fortunate to have Nevin as our tour guide and she was brilliant. She’s a local person with in-depth knowledge that adds to the experience of the sites we visited. She is very friendly and has a great sense of humour and it took away the stress of knowing where to go and what to do Nevin was invaluable is making it a wonderful experience
Really enjoyable day with Ebrahim. He was knowledgeable, good fun and made the whole trip relaxed and interesting. We avoided the crowds and had a lovely authentic Egyptian lunch. Would definitely recommend!
What a fantastic day we had with Marco, our fabulous Egyptologist, and Akhmed, our wonderful driver! Marco always positioned us in just the right spots to capture the best views and take in every detail. His knowledge and passion made the experience even more special!
Martina it was a real good guide, she helps us a lot and was very kindly and always with a smile and good attitude , I recommended 100%.
Brilliant day! 🤩 Marco was a great guide, very informative, fun, told us many stories and brought the past to life. He sorted the tickets out for us, had water and snacks, and provided us with such a tasty lunch! 😋😋😋 Abdul was a safe and patient driver. We did not feel rushed, no pressure to buy anything, overall an amazing tour, guide and driver! Totally recommend!
We had a brilliant day! 🤩❤️ Marco had so much information to impart with us, many stories, he made the day fun and took the time to take some great pictures! Abdul was an amazing driver, kept us safe in the mad Cairo traffic 😂🙈😅😱! Totally recommend this tour with Marco and Abdul!
We had a great day with Nashat, incredibly knowledgeable and great fun too. Our daughter is very shy but Nashat took the time to engage with her. Thank you
We had an amazing tour with Marco, he was friendly and knowledgable. We didn’t have to deal with queues and we managed to see a lot in one day. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic tour with Martina! Everything from the pyramids to the GEM was beautifully explained. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our tour with Marco, he was extremely knowledgeable and took us to all the best places for great views and pictures
We really enjoyed our tour, our tour guide Marco was very knowledgeable which added to the experience! Would definitely recommend booking!
My tour guide Martina was amazing from pick up at my hotel, explanations of the pyramids - I got to take some really cool photos and the GME was unique in every way. I would highly recommend
Nevin is truly the best tour guide I’ve ever had! She made our trip feel so extra special by taking us to incredible, uncrowded sites and hidden local food spots. A sweet highlight was the little mangos she kept ready in the car for a super tasty snack!
Nevin was an exceptional guide! She picked us up on time at the hotel and was timely with her responses over text. We were able to move past the long queues, and receive discounted rates with some of the additional things you can do within the grounds of the Pyramids. I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and will definitely be suggesting to family and friends to book with her. I look forward to joining her on a tour in the future.
Spent a wonderful time with my guide Nevin. She's absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and knows everyone! She made my trip memorable and now I've made a new friend for life. I would highly recommend a tour with her. I will book her again when i return.
We have a great day with Marco as a tour guide and Abdo as our driver. We started early to stay ahead of the crowds and saw all the highlight points. Marco has many years of experienced and knowledge of archeology and history. Because of this, was able to take us to less crowded photo spots and had more accurate explanations of what we were seeing. I highly recommend this your and Marco.
We had a wonderful experience touring the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo with Hassan, our guide He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly, and his passion for Egyptian history made the experience even more enjoyable. Hassan was a fantastic guide, and we truly appreciated his kindness and expertise. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo! Michael, Marc, and Tari
We had a wonderful time visiting the pyramids and museum. Our guide, Marco, was a good photographer,very knowledgeable and made the experience fun and engaging. His enthusiasm for Egyptology definitely was contagious. Our driver, Abdo, was also very friendly and navigated the streets like a pro:)
We did the full tour with Hasan Ghanem, and it was a fantastic experience! He knows so much about ancient Egypt and tells everything with so much passion. This made the tour even more enjoyable. We started with a tour inside the pyramid, which was truly a dream come true. After that, we visited the Grand Egyptian Museum, where Hasan also gave us an amazing tour. Overall, I would give this day a big 10 out of 10! Hasan Ghanem is a very fun guide with a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge. The tour was very well organized. We were picked up on time and brought back home safely. We also enjoyed a delicious falafel lunch. What more could you ask for?
What a wonderful day. Nevin our guide was fantastic and gave us a day which was exceptional. She picked us up on time, avoided all but the odd crowd and ensured we got some amazing pictures across the day. She seemed to know everyone who works across the sites and meant we were able to view or access areas with ease. We wanted to go inside the pyramid which took around half an hour to do and Nevin helped us purchase these extra tickets. It was quite challenging and gets very hot but well worth the experience. Having gone around the sites at Giza we went to the new museum and we were shown around here by Nevin also. At Giza we used the free shuttle bus to move between the sites. Along the way we stopped at a fragrance / perfume shop which wasn’t pushy and we enjoyed some Arabic coffee there too. We saw how papyrus was made, were able again to buy souvenirs without the push and got some nice things. We ate a falafel wrap on the go which was delicious and then helped ourselves to both water and fresh mini mangos, fresh dates and water that were in the car. We started the day with a pickup at 08:30 and got back to the hotel around 18:00. It really was one of those days I will look back on with very fond memories. Thank you so much Nevin for such a wonderful day.
PunctPunctual pickup. The Egyptologist guide, Mr Nashat, is very friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to escape the crowds and all the sellers. A highly recommended experience, especially if you only have limited time in Cairo. Our driver, Mr Muhammed, provided safe driving in a clean, air-conditioned car (with functioning seat belts).
Our guide Marco and driver Mohammed were both excellent. Marco is very knowledgeable and great company. We had a very personalised experience which was flexible to our pace and needs. We both had a very informative and enjoyable day. The driver Mohammed was always promptly there to pick us up for the next point of interest and had a nice car and calm driving manne
Hassan is very knowledgeable. He is patient. he picked me up on time from my hotel, and broke down the full itinerary ahead of time. Took me straight to the sites that I came to see and He even paid out tips for me, and bought food He made my experience very enjoyable and remember able. I highly recommend.
Had the best time with Nashat on the private tour. He was very informative across the pyramids, sphinx, and the GEM. Not only did I learn a lot but he took the time to answer any questions or make any extra stops I wanted. I highly recommend the experience. Never had a safety concern either as I traveled solo.
