Christine was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to explore Egypt with! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional, with excellent English that made everything easy to understand and enjoyable. Her insights into ancient Egyptian history were fascinating, but what made our experience truly special was that she went beyond the historical sites and shared thoughtful perspectives on modern Egyptian life, culture, and social nuances. We felt we were getting a genuine understanding of Egypt, not just visiting its monuments. What truly set Christine apart, though, was her warmth and thoughtfulness toward our family. We were traveling with our one-year-old son, and she went above and beyond to make sure we could enjoy the experience. She even kindly looked after him when we needed to visit places without him. That level of care and generosity meant so much to us and made our trip significantly more comfortable and memorable. Christine is not only an outstanding guide but also a genuinely lovely person. We are so grateful to have met her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Egypt, especially families traveling with young children. Thank you, Christine, for making our Egyptian adventure so special!

Driver came on time to pick up. Yet we have challenge to identify the correctness of the car as the information was not provided upfront. Car was not new and come without air-conditioning. We suffered quite a bit during the ride due to dust. Driver doesn't speak English, we weren't sure if there will be a guide to accompany us. Thankfully they guide was picked up halfway. Guide took great initiative to try her conversation with us in English. Hard to comprehend and she wasn't able to understand our questions. We did not get the best out from it. We do not reject shopping excursion but appreciate if that can be informed upfront. One after another which took up extra time. It left us with very little time in the end in Grand Museum. Lunch is not hygiene. Outdoor restaurant with lots of flies on salad and cutlery. It was hard to consume. It was not worth the money paid.
Dalia is not only our tour guide, but she's our mom too. She took care of us, protect us, and make sure we have everything we need. She makes our pyramid day amazing.
Ragab was Very competent guide He explained al l very good in german And did find me when I was lost in GEM
The tour was great; we had a wonderful time, and Dalia was very kind and friendly to us. She's a very helpful guide—we recommend her 100%.
What an unforgettable experience! We had an amazing time exploring the magnificent Pyramids of Giza and the famous Sphinx with our tour guide, Dalie. The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and the tour was a wonderful opportunity to experience the history and beauty of ancient Egypt. Dalie made the experience enjoyable and memorable. To top it all off, we enjoyed a delicious meal, making the day even more special. A fantastic experience from start to finish! We highly recommend Dalie to anyone planning to visit the pyramids and the Sphinx. Definitely a day to remember!
Awesome day. Great mix of fun, facts and friendly conversation. Thank you Ahmed zidan and our driver Mohamed Farag
Our tour guide Karim Salah was awesome! We had a great experience touring all the sights. Karim was knowledgable and friendly. Our driver Mohamed Hegazy was also great. Had a memorable experience overall.
Dalia was very knowledgable regarding the history of the Giza pyramids, places around Cairo and a fabulous authentic Egyptian lunch. She also took us to the grand museum which was excellent
First time in Egypt with friends. Ahmed Rabea was our guide and provided us with a great tour. Zero complaints. Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience with our guide Dalia. She was very educated in the history of Egypt and the pyramids. We had some good laughs, made the experience so much fun. Would recommend! :)
We had a wonderful time, habibi! We learned so much and our guide was funny and knowledgeable. Our whole family had fun!
We love our second mom Dalia! She was so friendly and accommodating 💕
Jasmine was very kind and very knowledgeble
Mohammed Wagih was a great guide. We were four ladies and he was very protective. He made suggestions for the program and gave us more time when we asked for it. Highly recommended
Traveling alone can sometimes feel overwhelming, but Nasser made me feel completely comfortable, safe, and welcome throughout the entire day. From the moment we met, he was professional, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The Giza Pyramids were breathtaking, and Nasser shared fascinating historical insights that brought the site to life. The Grand Egyptian Museum was equally impressive, and his explanations helped me gain a much deeper appreciation for Egypt’s rich history and culture. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated his patience, kindness, and attention to detail. He was always happy to answer my questions and ensured that I felt comfortable throughout the tour. He also knew the best locations for photos and helped me capture wonderful memories of this special day. Everything was well organized, stress-free, and enjoyable from beginning to end. Visiting the pyramids was truly a dream come true and one of the highlights of my trip to Egypt. I highly recommend Nasser to anyone visiting Cairo, especially solo travelers looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy guide and a personalized experience. Thank you, Nasser, for your hospitality and for making my visit so memorable. May God bless you and your family. 🇪🇬🏛️✨
If you're short on time and want to see not only the pyramids in Giza, but also the wonderful sites in Saqqara and Dahshur, this is your tour. It's well organised, they take care of everything, you can relax in the car, have your guide give you detailed explanation on sites and explore then a bit on your own. The lunch was fantastic too! Thank you to Hadeer and Ezat, who came to pick me up even in advance and was great all around.
Mohammed Wagih was really nice and helpful. he have been patient with us, we took our time and explain everything around the trip. He also has a great sense of humor. Thank you for this great day!
Samy at Comeback limousine was the best driver you could ask for!! He took great care of us. Safe and clean ride. Highly recommend him!
Sherif was great to talk about the history and knew a lot Sometimes it was a little confusing but he was great to answer ours questions
Mustafa Salah was the best tour guide ever. If you come in Cairo you can’t miss a tour with him. The day was great, I had to learn a lot and I extremely enjoyed the visits, thanks to the tour guide. He also brought us to an authentic Egyptian restaurant for lunch, which was a great experience too.
We had a great experience with our tour guide, Mohammed W. He was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable throughout the day. He gave us excellent insights and historical facts at the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, making each stop more meaningful. We also enjoyed a relaxing Nile cruise and a nice lunch as part of the tour. Overall, Mohammed W was a fantastic guide, and we would highly recommend him for an informative and enjoyable experience.
Our trip with sherif was wonderful! Saw everything and learned a lot! Very informative and polite.
We visited pyramids and other interesting places and went in pyramids. Was a brilliant day with an interesting and knowledgeable guide. Dalia was awesome and we highly recommend
Yasmine as guide is amazing and funtastic!
Great experience in Spanish with Pedro (Bemen) in a day full of activities (Pyramids, Sphinx, Papyrus factory, New Egyptian Museum, Restaurant, etc.)
Excellent. Guide had great knowledge, was polite and friendly, the tour went at a great pace etc. Would 100% recommend.
!!!SCAM ALERT!!! Absolutely terrible experience. I paid for a full-day private tour, but instead of actually seeing the sights, the guide spent hours taking me to shops owned by his friends to pressure me into buying things. I only got around 45 minutes at the pyramids and about an hour in the Egyptian Museum, which is completely unacceptable for an 8-hour tour. The guide, Amir, clearly has knowledge about the sites, but throughout the entire 8 hours he seemed only focused on his own wallet rather than providing a proper tour experience. It got so bad that I asked to end the tour early just so I could at least have some proper time in the museum. The guide then left me alone inside, but still waited outside for three hours just to collect his tip. I felt genuinely uncomfortable and upset throughout the day. What should have been one of the best days of my trip turned into a very negative experience. It was so bad that I even filed a report with the tourism police. I ended up booking the same tour again with another company, losing a lot of money, but more importantly, time and a lot of frustration. To make matters worse, even at the end of the tour I was heavily pressured during the ride back to leave a positive review on the spot. This felt more like a sales scam than a tour. Very unprofessional, rushed, and absolutely not worth the money. Avoid this company if you actually want to enjoy Cairo and experience its history properly.
Dalie is the best tour guide you can get in Egypt! She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. Would recommend her to anyone that is coming to Egypt to do a tour.
We had an amazing experience with Ragab tour guide. He explained everything very well during the tour. Very good English and very friendly!
We had a great time exploring with Jasmine for our trip to Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis. She was very informative and helped us learn the history about the sites. She also took some great pictures for us. We were able to explore at a leisure pace although sites were quite far away from each other.
Our driver was Hussein and our guide was Jasmine. We started the tour in Giza, going to some photo spots and had some great views of the Great pyramid and the Kunafre pyramid. We managed to go very close to the pyramids and got some great pictures of the sphinx. It could have been perfect if we could get a view from the classic panorama viewpoint of the seven pyramids and venture into the Khufu pyramid as well, but unfortunately they were not included and we didn’t have enough time. We then headed to Saqqara after a buffet lunch. There are much more to see than the Djoser pyramid (the stepped pyramid) which was already quite impressive in itself. The tombs around the pyramid are true gems and seeing the ancient inscriptions from 2500 BC were worth the extra price. Our third stop was Dashur and we went into the Bent and Red pyramids to see the inside of the burial chambers. It was quite tight but an eye-opening experience nonetheless. Our last stop was an optional stop to visit the Rasmesses II statue in Memphis and the jam-packed day ended there. Kudos to Jasmine and Hussein for the overall pleasant trip.
We had the best day with Mariam’s great hospitality and knowledge. Also our driver Ahmed was so nice too. They helped us to shape our tour as we want.
We had one of the best experiences all around the world with this Guide. The tour has been really involving and expansive with a lot of knowledge regarding every single aspect of the culture. We do strongly recommend this tour since it covers everything with lot of intertaining experiences.
This was an amazing trip, my guide was really helpful and kind
excellent guide and driver! very happy of him
Very good experience despite the weather. Asmaa was very nice and gave us a complete tour with a lot a interesting informations
I and 12 years old daughter had an amazing time with our amazing tour guide Mohammed wagih. He made sure that I and my daughter was having a great time and asked what we wanted to do more to make our day better. He was a really great tour guide for Cairo tour including Giza, Memphis and Sakkara area!
My visit to the pyramids and the ancient tombs was an unforgettable experience, made even better by my guide/photographer, Omar, a knowledgeable Egyptologist who brought every site to life with rich context and fascinating stories. Walking through the tombs and standing before structures that have endured for thousands of years gave me a deep appreciation for the history, beliefs, and daily life of ancient Egyptians. I’m so happy I came.
Mohammed wagih has been a great tour guide for us. He showed us around the Giza pidamids as well as the once In sakara and he also gave us good historical knowledge along with some great poses to clock pictures in. Had a great time.
Spent a very good day travelling to Memphis, Saqqarah and Giza. The pick up was on schedule, and we didn't waste any time heading out to Memphis. Yasmine was very knowledgable and had answers to all my questions. The quad was plenty of fun (even though we drove past a few carcasses on the way to the dunes). We did make an "unplanned" stop at a carpet school, but I made it clear I wasn't going to buy anything and we were out in less than 5 minutes. I would have rated 5 stars, but this is just plain misleading and bad practice (and relates to other reviews).
We had such a amazing experience with our tour guide Doha, she was absolutely amazing and fun to be around, very informative and smart, inspiring and interesting individual without her the experience wouldn’t of been as good as it was, it was a memorable life time experience the food was absolutely filling and tasty, we were also taken to a amazing perfume spot included in our tour which had some incredible scents.
Thank you Ghada for this amazing visit ! It was very interesting and you are very nice and thoughtful about our needs.
Fantastic tour. Mohammed Wagih was excellent. We took a lot of photos. Thank you a lot for the experience and the very good time
It was very nice time with Sayed Mahmoud. He explained everythi g from egyptiam meuseusm and also gave very nice advice for good spots for pictures for Pyramids. His english is very good. Lunch provided was excellent .. Overall we are very happy to travel from Hurghada which was tiring but worth it experience.
This tour was an efficient way of getting around and seeing the main highlights in one day. We were picked up from our hotel in a somewhat battered car (the seat belts were not working) and taken to Saqqara, Memphis and a papyrus “museum” in the morning. The papyrus place was actually interesting since they explained the process of making papyrus paper, and they didn’t push us too hard to buy. Lunch was at a buffet restaurant where we got the opportunity to try several different dishes and desserts. In the afternoon we visited the Giza pyramids and did a short camel ride to get photos of ourselves riding camels in front of the pyramids. The quad bike ride was not offered, but since it wasn’t important to us, we did not ask about it. Overall, the tour was fine. We got the basic background explained to us at each stop, even though the guide’s English was somewhat hard to understand. After the initial explanation the guide generally left us to walk around independently at each site without him. This was not ideal. For example, my husband got grabbed by a “guard” at the Giza pyramids and he wouldn’t let go until we paid him. This kind of thing doesn’t happen to tourists who have a guide with them.
Mohammed Wagih was a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide. Very professional, kind and gave us such wonderful insight about the pyramids and Ancient Egypt. Took many photos of my family and myself. 5 out of 5.
We had a great day with our guide Dalia, she showed us around the Gaza Plateau explaining everything and Ranking good care of ist :)
We had Sayed Mahmoud as our tour guide today, very friendly, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made me feel very welcome top class experience
Me and my husband had the most amazing experience, especially with our guide Doha. She was amazing throughout the whole day, very hospitable, very knowledgeable and had made the whole experience a memorable one. The atmosphere and the whole tour was fascinating in itself!
