DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS TOUR!! First, pick up was easy and the car was super clean. Our driver George and Ghada our tour guide made us feel so comfortable, so quickly. We made it to the pyramids very quickly, despite traffic and Ghada knows how to move through the foot traffic so smoothly. Ghada is so knowledgeable and speaks clearly when telling us the history of Egypt and its pyramids, dynasties, etc. We weren’t heckled throughout our entire tour, which is a bonus because we were an all women group navigating through the crowds with ease. The lunch we had was SO DELICIOUS! It was clean, cool and professional! Ghada and George joined us for lunch and we sat and talked as if we had all known each other for years! Lastly, we stopped at the papyrus store (per my moms request) which was so fun and educational. There was never any pressure to buy anything we didn’t need, and everything we did purchase Ghada helped us negotiate. 10/10 would recommend to anyone: ask for Ghada and George!!

I had a fantastic time with Kareem. The process was so seamless and he was such a good guide, photographer - took his time. He answered any questions I had. I honestly had a good time.
We had a fantastic tour with Wafaa this morning and highly recommend her as a guide. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and welcoming. She shared a lot of interesting information about the local culture, history, and daily life, making the visit both enjoyable and informative. Her passion for her work and her positive energy made the experience truly memorable. Wafaa was attentive, answered all our questions with a smile, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. Thank you, Wafaa, for your kindness, professionalism, and for making our visit so special. We had a wonderful time and would gladly join another tour with you in the future !
Waffa, our guide, provided an interesting and informative commentary. She also handled the practicalities of tickets, coffee breaks, lunch and transport around the site for a stress free experience. Our driver Mohamed navigated through the chaotic Cairo traffic with skill and a calm demeanour. All in all the very enjoyable day.
Our tour guide for the Giza Pyramid's, Mr Sahl Ezz was exzellent and by far the best we experienced during our other tours in Alexandria, Dashur and the Grand Museum.
Booked via booking.com . Doaa Shehab (guide) and Gorg (driver) were an amazing company. Dooa was really great and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
We had a very nice private tour with our guide Doaa & driver Mohamed. Comfortable ride, the guude told us a lot of interesting information about the Pyramids and the history of it
It was a great tour. Our guide name is Ghada was amazing. Her English was very clear and easy to understand. After the tour ended, she also took us wherever we wanted to go. Also, the driver was an incredibly kind person. I would definitely recommend it.
Great experience it was and thanks too the guide waafa she was really helpful throughout the tour. She made she I was and gave me brief history about the pyramids and grand maseums.
I had an absolutely incredible experience visiting the Pyramids.His knowledge of Ancient Egyptian history is incredible.Introduced to the best spots for pictures.Highly recommended!
Perfect organisation of our experience and much more. What a guide! Just wonderful. We hade a gide Ghana and driver who were magnificent. We did al the different sites and get all the information with a lot of passion and enthousiasm . Something really to do
Our guide, Ghada, was an amazing woman! She was very kind and told us so much about the ancient history. You can see and hear that she’s very passionate about her culture. We would recommend this tour and ask for Ghada!
It was amazing!!! It was my first solo trip, so I was a bit nervous, but everything was so well organized and I had an incredible time. They even took me to places around the pyramids I couldn’t have visited on my own. Everyone was so kind and helpful, even though my English isn’t great. I’m really happy I chose this tour. Thank you! 日本人もおすすめ!
We had yesterday a wonderful trip to the pyramides with our guide Gadha. She is a wonderful person and a good guide. Explain everything good. Was patient with us , when we did not onderstand etc. We can recommend her to everybody. We booked Ghada also for a tour to Cairo and Sukkada. We enjoyed everything.
It was a great day, our tour guide Doaa was really awesome and knows a lot about the history of the pyramids, she was also very considerate of our wishes. She took great care of us and had some great tips for us. We visited the inside of the 3rd pyramid, it is very interesting, but not for you if you have problems with tight spaces. Our driver Saleh was great in that crazy traffic in Cairo. I definitely recommend booking with A1 Egypt Private Tours!
Basem and Medhat were so lovely and welcoming. Made the whole experience very fun and enjoyable. Made us feel comfortable. Medhat is also very good at taking pictures -i'd give his photography skills a 10/10. Overall a very enjoyable experience and also a very reasonable pricing.
Doaa Shehab was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We were a family of 7 with a mix of ages. This was suitable, fun and educational for us all.
Excellent English speaking tour guide
Very very nice! Rehab ro is very good. Thank you
Visiting the Giza Pyramids was truly an unforgettable experience. The sheer scale and history of the pyramids are breathtaking, and seeing them up close is something that photos simply can’t capture. The tour was well organized, informative, and gave great insight into ancient Egyptian civilization. Standing in front of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was absolutely incredible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!
A day well spent enriched in history and breathtaking sights. Medhat was the perfect tour guide giving us an unforgettable experience with full historical insights. This was definitely one of my best tours. 🇪🇬🌍
Our guide, Sal, was great. Very friendly, took lots of photo's of us and explained everything abouth the pyramids. We enjoyed it very much!
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with our guide, Sahl, during our visit to the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. From the very beginning, Sahl showed incredible flexibility and care. Our hotel was supposed to serve breakfast at 8:00, so we asked to move the pickup to 8:30 in front of the hotel, and he immediately agreed. When the hotel still failed to serve breakfast on time, he quickly found a solution, suggesting two authentic local places and taking us there, waiting for us and making sure everything was perfect. Throughout the entire tour, Sahl demonstrated exceptional knowledge, going into great detail while also answering all our questions with patience and clarity. He created a very friendly and engaging atmosphere, making the experience not only informative but also truly enjoyable. He also took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch and, at the end of the day, kindly helped us find and buy what we needed. Sahl is truly the best guide we could have hoped for in Egypt. Highly recommended!
Doaa our #1 guide and driver Basssam, picked us up from our hotel on time and drove us to the pyramid site in Giza. Good conversation, clean car, safe driver, and an excellent introduction to the pyramids, We got an informative and interesting overview of the history of the area and an immersive engagement seeing these wonders. We had a fun camel ride, entered into king Menkaure’s tomb finishing with a pleasant lunch and a safe trip back to the hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed our day and we were looked after very well by these two professionals. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt. Several of the local staff told us that Doaa was the number one guide in Giza!!
I had an amazing tour with my guide, Wafaa. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me better understand the history of the pyramids and the mummification process - I would highly recommend!
I had an amazing guided tour to the pyramids with Medhat and our driver Mostafa! Both of them were incredibly kind, polite, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire experience. Medhat was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the history and stories of this incredible place. He made the visit not only informative but also really enjoyable. Mostafa, our driver, was equally wonderful—professional, punctual, and always making sure we were comfortable and safe. Together, they created such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made the whole day unforgettable. The food we had during the tour was also very delicious, which made the experience even better! If you’re planning a visit to the pyramids, I would absolutely recommend going with Medhat and Mostafa. You’ll be in great hands!
A wonderful trip with my guide Queen Dooa,and driver King George 4th. Looked after me very well including taking me for lunch in Giza. Would wholeheartedly recommend them to any tourist.
Very professional team with reasonable price. Medhat is very supportive and humble person. This is good team if you go with family and kids.
The tour with Medhat is one of those many you have to experience once you're in Cairo. He's really attentive, full of knowledge and really sympathetic. The organization was perfect and communication really easy ==> 10/10 Goku!
WAFFA our guide was brilliant highly recommended,very well in formed guide, nothing was to much trouble. Kept us well informed about what we will be doing. Her English was excellent definitely 10 out of 10
We had the VIP tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with Doaa Sheheb. She was very personable, important when spending so much time with someone. Her knowledge of Egypt and Egyptian history was outstanding. She took us through the entire museum, giving an excellent overview of all the galleries. If you have only a few hours to spend at GEM during your trip, this is the way to do it, especially with Doaa.
My guide Rehab was simply incredible. Highly knowledgeable, great personality, super connected to all the staff of the Giza site, she even managed to get me 10 minutes alone in the Central Chamber of the Great Pyramid and knew all the ways for me to experience the sites with very few other tourists. A fantastic experience. And this for an incredibly affordable price! I came back with some papyrus and a lovely essential oil (Jasmine!!). A memorable afternoon. I recommend her the highest possible.
Our day was wonderful! Doaa Shehab our guide and Ayman our driver were so helpful and pleasant and we had a very good time.
Doaa (guide) and Eşsem (driver) took us on a great adventure! It was my birthday celebration and the tour was perfect! Doaa was very kind, knowledgeable and personable and she took us to many great places including the historical pyramids. We had a great time, book your tour with Doaa!
Doaa (guide) and Eşsam (driver) were AMAZING. This trip was for my son’s birthday! Doaa even surprised him with a gift! Doaa is great at her job and super knowledgeable about the history and culture of Giza and Cairo. We plan to repeat this tour with more family! You must request this dynamic duo for your tour of the pyramids! Thank you to both of them for a lifetime experience! Shkran!
Best experience ever thanks to our tour guide Doaa Shehab and our driver Mohamed! You were perfect ! The most nice people I met in Cairo !
Great experience with our knowledgeable and kind guide Medhat! The tour felt personal and we definitely recommend the private option.
I toured with Sahl who was awesome and so informative! He even took me to the right souks and places to get the best souvenirs at the local price. Really enjoyed my tour and would recommend anyone who wants to see the Pyramids and cut all the queues, to book!
Doaa and Mohamed were the perfect guide and driver for our tour. They looked after us exceptionally well and made the experience very good. Everything was taken care of by them and Doaa ensured we saw the things we wanted to see and navigated us throughout. She also gave us just the right of information and let the sights do the talking. We would highly recommend this tour.
Recommended: punctual driver, comfortable car, the guide Rashad was kind, competent end very helpful.
Great trip! We had a lovely time and learned a lot from Medhat. He efficiently guided us around the pyramids and sphinx, and helped prep us to avoid scams. Lunch was delicious and camel ride was fun. Thank you!
Saleh was exellent guide, calm and knowledgeable and no rush and still flexible - can only be recommended
We had an incredible day at the Pyramids in Giza thanks to Sahl. He handled everything from hotel pickup/drop-off to getting all our tickets, making the entire experience stress-free. Why we recommend him: * Deep Knowledge: He taught us so much about the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms and the pyramids of Giza and other locations. * Easy Logistics: He used the hop-on-hop-off system within the complex to move us around comfortably and quickly. * Fun Highlights: He organized a camel ride that we and especially our 10-year-old son absolutely loved! * Amazing Food: Sahl arranged a lunch at a local restaurant that was truly delicious. * Perfect Photos: He knows all the best secret spots and took the most amazing photos for our memories. Thank you, Sahl, for an unforgettable day!
I booked the trip prior to departing the UK, Wafaa messaged me the evening before and again on the morning to say she was waiting outside my hotel. She was very personable and we had a lovely few hours visiting the three main pyramids, Sphinx, camel ride, lunch in the city. Wafaa gave me a lot of information about the history of the pyramids and it was interesting going into one of them, seeing how confined it is. The site is well set up with shuttle busses, toilets, market stalls for trinkets, weather was beautiful and if course, its amusing how close to this city it is situated. I felt I could ask questions at any time and Wafaa was keen that I got the most out if the trip. I truly recommend anyone to book this, finally ticked Giza off my ever growing list.
We had an amazing visit to the Giza Pyramids, and it was all thanks to our fantastic guide, Medhat. His deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine passion brought the history of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. He was professional, friendly, patient with our questions, and made sure we were comfortable while showing us the best spots for photos and helping us avoid the crowds. Medhat truly turned our visit into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, we highly recommend him to anyone touring the Giza pyramids!
It was a well organised trip with a nice tour guide Rehab. They picked us from the place we were staying and drove back. The day was beautiful, we visted all places we planned during the tour. We started at 9 and finished at 15 so it was a realy intensive day.
As a family we like our experince with Saleh and his driver. They pick it us up at our hotel and brough us with luxe car to piramides. Everthing was good aranged included skip the line, camel driving and the diner. He spoke very good English and was very kind with our children. Kind regards! ABCD
Our guide was amazing, knowledgable, friendly, engaging and flexible with our tour. We would definitely recommend this tour and our guide Rasha ❤️
We loved our tour to the pyramids in Giza, which was very well organized, well supported and with lovely additional activities. Our guide Doaa Shehab and our driver Yasser were excellent. Over the course of six hours we visited the pyramids, entered the Kheops pyramid, the Sphinx. The family enjoyed the camel ride and loved the visits to the papyrus, herbs and oils places. Lunch was delicious. Fantastic tour and we would recommend it to anyone. You are in very good hands with Doaa, whose English is excellent and Yasser. Enjoy the tour!
We enjoyed the trip guide was caring and helpful
