We did the full-day tour with Mohamed covering the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), and it was worth every minute! Mohamed was super friendly and kind from the very start, and he was right on time. He explained everything in such an interesting way, and we learned so much about the history of each place. On top of being an incredible guide, Mohamed is also an amazing photographer! We got the best photos of our entire trip thanks to him!! He had all the patience in the world to take our pictures and record videos, always finding the perfect angles. If you're visiting Cairo, don't think twice, book with Mohamed! We highly recommend him! Thank you so much, Mohamed, for making our day unforgettable! We hope to see you again when we come back to Cairo!

We had a wonderful full-day tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our guide Mohammad was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and professional. He explained everything beautifully and made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. His hospitality and genuine care made us feel welcome throughout the day. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cairo! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Me and my friend had an amazing day. We started early in the morning with the pyramids, the guide told us everyting about the pyramids and al the history about the Egyptian culture! Afterwards we still had enough time to explore on our own. You can ask Mohammed everything and he will know the answer. I would highly recommend him, also if you want to have fun and learn about culture, you should really book the tour. You can even speak Arabic after this tour. He is very friendly en professional!
We had such a great time! The guide is really friendly and you can ask him anything. He knows a lot and tries to let you see everything so you will not miss a thing.
It has been a beautiful day being guided by the tour guide to the pyramids in Giza, the papyrus artwork, the lotus essential oils and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The tour guide was very hospitable and knowledgeable about the tourist sites that we visited.
Wonderful experience. Very friendly guide. Mo has made this visit a unique experience. Strongly recommend
Excellent guide and lovely time
As a solo female traveller it can be hit and miss, if not impossible to find a good guide. Mo is the sort of guide I wish I could find everywhere. He's knowledgeable on his topics, respectful of your needs and personality and a joy to spend time with. Thank you for making my day so enjoyable
Mohammed did a good job showing us around and giving us a tour around the pyramids and the museum ! Even took many pictures for us which was a big + for me. He was happy to answer all the questions and showed interest in the group throughout the day.
I really enjoyed the way Mohammed brought Egyptian history and interesting stories to life, it made the whole experience engaging and memorable. Thank you so much for your passion and knowledge. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for an insightful and enjoyable tour!
Mohamed was an excellent tour guide. He took his time with me and my friend and constantly asked if everything was alright. I would highly recommend him to future guests
Mohamed is been a great guide for me, he is knowledgeable about the piramids and the general culture in Egypt. I am very happy with his customer service too. I did have a great day and I will recommend your company 🙂
It was very well arranged 1 day trip with Mo as guide who was very kind to accompany us, very friendly and who knew the places, people around very well. I can only recommend
Excellent trip, I recommend the visit with the guide called Moh. We’ve been through all the Gizeh pyramids and the GEM. A must see!
I highly recommend Mo — a perfect guide! He explains everything very clearly, knows exactly how and where to go, and he’s an excellent photographer. If you’re looking for a guide in Cairo, Mo is the best choice!
Everything about this trip was exceptional. From the Pyramids to the GEM, the organization was perfect, but what truly made the day special was our guide. He was incredibly friendly and had a constant smile on his face. His great sense of humor made the hours fly by, and his passion for history is contagious. He is extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much! If you're visiting, you couldn't ask for a better way to see these wonders. Highly recommended!
Very very nice guide. Smart and knowledgeable, highly recommended. I learned everything and am now very excited about this destination.✨️✨️✨️
Very nice guide. They are kind. Takes very nice pictures and he is very smart and knowledgeable. ✨️
Our trip to Cairo was truly unforgettable, largely thanks to our wonderful guide. We had the chance to see the iconic pyramids and the Sphinx, which were even more impressive in person. The guide also organized a fantastic meal, giving us a taste of local cuisine. In addition, we visited a papyrus factory and a perfume workshop, which made the experience even more unique and memorable. What stood out the most was his dedication—since we still had plenty of time before our flight, he arranged extra activities so we could make the most of every moment. Everything was perfectly planned, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended!
I spend my day with my gide and he is go good
Mo is such a lovely tour guide, he made our trip to both the Museum and Pyramids quite enjoyable. He is also a good photographer. Please ask him to take you pictures, you will not regret it.
Mo is very friendly and patient. He is multilingual (English , Arabic and Russian), knowledgeable and quite informed. He definitely knows what he’s doing!!The bonus, was also having him take nice pictures of us without any extra penny. You will not regret booking with him !
An amazing Cairo trip with a knowledgeable guide who made history come alive. Everything was well-organised, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
I visited Cairo with my Family and Friends on a day trip, had an absolutely fantastic day. Our guide, Mr. Bachan was knowledgeable, friendly and full of positive energy, which created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the day. Listening to our Guide Mr. Bachan's Historic stories of all the places we visited was both fascinating and engaging. Visiting the Pyramids of Giza and Grand Egyptian Museum was definitely a highlight and worth exploring. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience and highly recommend to anyone visiting Cairo.
Experience was good, time was little constraint for one day along with the kids… But overall experience was good.
Overall experience was very good.. camel ride and horse cart experience near pyramid was excellent. There was not enough time for Egyptian museum but our guide organised it very well.
Bachan Mohammed was our guide with FTS travels for Easter Egypt holidays and we had a one day trip in Cairo . Despite our short time in Cairo he made sure we had the best experience with no inconvenience at all . We were families with small babies n kids n he made sure everything was so smooth n perfect n suggested best options to utilise time n helped us everywhere to be safe n have a great experience.
It was a very interesting day and a big pleasure to have this experience. Everything was great organised, guide is amazing and very positive, and created for us really good mood. It was very interesting to listen to our guide’s stories, and the museum was very worth to visit. Strongly recommended.
It was very fun, our guide organized various activities on the spot since we had time left over. Very funny and gave us plenty of time to stop by ATMs to pay him, didn’t rush it or anything. Overall, the experience was great and every joke landed. Thank you!
Mohammed was our guide together with shoemaker ehab who drove us around. They were both really friendly and our guide Mo was really knowledgeable. He was also great and a patient photographer :).
Touring the Giza Plateau without a great guide is like opening a history book written in sand during a windstorm. Fortunately, we had Mohamed. And Mohamed? Mohamed is basically a walking, talking time machine with excellent people skills. 🐪📜 From the moment we met him, he took charge in the best possible way. Not in a “follow me into the desert forever” kind of way, but in the reassuring “I know exactly where the shade, the shortcuts, and the best pyramid angles are” kind of way. Navigating the bustling chaos around the pyramids suddenly felt easy. His knowledge of Egyptian history is honestly impressive. Ask him about the pyramids and you don’t get a dry textbook explanation. You get stories. Pharaoh drama. Ancient engineering wizardry. Random facts that make you suddenly realize the pyramids are even more mind-blowing than you thought. At one point we were pretty sure he personally knew Khufu. 🏺 What really stood out, though, was how caring and helpful he was the entire time. Need water? Mohamed is already handing it to you. Want the perfect photo with the pyramids? Mohamed suddenly transforms into a professional photographer and director: “Stand here… turn a little… now you are holding the pyramid!” 📸 He kept everyone comfortable, answered every question with patience and enthusiasm, and somehow made thousands of years of history feel alive and exciting instead of overwhelming. If you’re visiting the Giza Plateau and the pyramids, having Mohamed as your guide is like upgrading from a map to GPS… except the GPS also tells great jokes and knows 4,500 years of history. Highly recommended. 10/10 guide. The pharaohs would approve. 👑
The entire trip from start to finish was well organised. I felt safe. My tour guide was Mohammed he was amazing and very informative. He even took incredible pictures for me. Finding the right tour can be difficult because there are so many but I am happy I made the choice to book this one!
Hassan is such a gentleman! He is patient, accommodating and knowledgeable. He took us from the airport to the pyramid, then GEM, then cite del fortress. The traffic in Cairo is by no means easy. Hassan skillfully maneuvers his vehicle to meet our expectations and enriches our experiences. I surely and highly recommend Hassan for anyone’s Egypt tour. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This gentleman pick me up at the airport @ 05:20 . As was discussed over the phone he keep he's word . After that wee all done the excursions . When you say to him to explain you about more he's willing with out hesitation. Hes very friendly and helpful 🙂. Thank you very much
Great tour of Cairo and the pyramides. Tour gide was excellent on information and took us unique places during the tour.
Everything went smoothly! Mohamend is a really cool guide, highly recommended. In the future, we will definitely use more tours with him!
Mohammed met us at Cairo airport he was waiting for us in arrivals very friendly and put us at ease straight away, we went to Egyptian museum he was very knowledgeable and thought us so much and gave us free time to explore the museum car was very clean and comfortable, we then went on to Giza to the pyramids and sphinx again very knowledgeable we visited a papyrus shop and perfume shop had a lovely lunch in a nice restaurant. We really enjoyed our day and Mohamed made the day great no rushing us we would definitely book with him again.
I recently went on the Private Cairo Day Tour (Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum & Bazaar) and our guide, Mohammad, made the experience exceptional from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the history and culture brought the sights to life—whether standing before the timeless pyramids of Giza or wandering through the fascinating halls of the Egyptian Museum. On top of that, Mohammad’s photography skills truly made the day memorable. He took dozens of beautiful, natural-looking photos of me at each location—capturing the moments I’ll remember forever. It’s rare to have a guide who not only leads you expertly, but also cares about helping you look great in the memories. What stood out: • He arrived on time and with a warm, friendly greeting. • He shared stories and context in a way that felt engaging and personal (not just a “lecture”). • He paced the day perfectly—allowing enough time at each spot while keeping the schedule smooth. • He went the extra mile by offering photography tips and being patient while I posed. • He was courteous, responsive, and treated the activities with enthusiasm. If you’re planning a day in Cairo and want not only to see the sights, but really experience them — with great photos to prove it — I highly recommend you ask for Mohammad. He made the difference between a good tour and a great one. Thank you, Mohammad, for an unforgettable day and fantastic memories! I couldn’t be happier.
We have a fantastic private day trip with mo. He was the man about town. He knew all the best places to take photos. When have now great memories of the pyramids and the grand museum all thanks to mo. He taught us lots of interesting fact and a wealth of history about egypt. Highly recommend him as a guide more than 5 stars.
Mo was an excellent guide! He was not only extremely knowledgeable about Old Cairo, the Egyptian Museum, Pyramids and Sphinx but he’s also an excellent photographer! From the first moment, we were laughing, smiling, and it felt like family. He literally introduced us to the city saying that it is now our “second home”. As my dad says, he wasn’t good, he was VERY good. Do not question it, if you need a guide, go with Mo.
I had a very wonderful time with my tour guide Mohammed and driver Zozo. They were very patient and took me to all the places mentioned in the itinerary. I am actually coming back to Egypt to explore other places because of the amazing experience I had with them. If you want to have a great time exploring Egypt, definitely book this tour and other ones organized by them.
We had a great time on the tour in Cairo - visiting the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. Mo was a very helpful and informative guide. Would highly recommend this trip
Fantastic day in Cairo! Respected program and everything organised in the smallest details, a special thanks to our fantastic guide Mo who gave us every attention and made the whole day enjoyable! I highly recommend it!
Beautiful experience, recommended! Everything went according to plan: pyramids, sphinches, surrounding museums, lunch and cruise on the Nile. Our guide Mo was attentive to all our needs, friendly and nice, we had a great time.
Go with Mo! We had a great day with Mo as our guide. He does amazingly good pictures, he was knowledgeable and is funny. Not pushy at all and made us feel safe. Totally recommend all the activities we did. Egyptian museum, papyrus factory, Giza pyramids, camel ride and Nile boat cruise. Going into the Pyramid was a highlight for us all despite it looking scarily steep and humid. It doesn’t take long and was worth the experience.
We really enjoyed every moment with this tour. Mo is very opened, friendly and professional guide, who makes you feel welcome, safe and comfortable all the time. He gives you very good insight about the history of Egypt. Especially we liked, that he gives recommendations, do’s and don’t in every step on the tour. He respects special wishes of his clients.
We were very fortunate to have met Mohamed while in Giza - he was with another group but kindly looked out for us and offered for us to join. He went out of the way to help us and was very patient. He is very knowledgeable, honest, and helpful - definitely made our two days in Cairo a success!
With 4 friends a tailor made trip with Mo to you he pyramids and museum. Mo had a lot of knowledge and told us Manu surprising details. No hussle from other people so at the end a special day to remember! Pascal & Corina
What an amazing trip, we had booked on a small group booking, but luckily for us nobody else booked on so the organisers paired us up with Mo and his driver Rambo. It was an excellent trip from start to finish, we were met at the airport and taken to a cafe to discuss how we wanted the day to look. Mo was always very considerate and giving us options throughout the day to make sure we got the best experiences. We decided to visit the citadel, and a cafe away from a tourist area where locals went, we also visited a perfume store and had a short cruise along the Nile where we had a great sunset view. Mo took some excellent photos and shared lots of knowledge about the Pyramids which was very interesting. I’m so happy we were able to do a trip with Mo, if you choose to do a trip with Mo you won’t be disappointed. He is a lovely man with a great sense of humour who always made sure we felt safe.
Great experience, kept us busy and entertained the full day, would recommend Mo. Pyramids museum and river nile boat trip
