It was an amazing experience with an Egyptologist who gave us the facts and history about the pyramids, surrounding area and the sphinx in an understandable way. We have used Viator many times in our travels and I would highly recommend them. They give you exactly what you want.

Mostafa and his team were simply incredible! I travel the world on business and like to sprinkle in the occasional solo side trip. This trip was to see the pyramids by myself. I must say my trip actually started off on the wrong foot when I planned on using Uber from the airport (big mistake!). But thats a review for Uber lol. HOWEVER, as soon as I began working with Mostafa everything changed. He handled every professionally, was extremely responsive and supportive. He was not only a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, he also helped coordinate all of my future travel arrangements. I strongly recommend that you use his services. My only mistake was not using him sooner. Thank you Mostafa! You and your team helped make my first trip to Egypt fun, safe and enjoyable!
Fatima was superb. Timely, smart, friendly and energetic - she was able to answer all our questions with insightful answers and provide interesting facts and stories. Highly recommend.
Standing in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza, I was transported back to my childhood – to the days when my mother took me to watch that mesmerizing Egypt cartoon. Back then, I’d marvel at animated mummies, towering pyramids, and powerful queens, never imagining I’d one day witness them in person. This tour didn’t just meet those childhood dreams; it *shattered* them with its awe-inspiring reality!
Driver and tour guide were good but the visit was realy too short vs what was planned and instead they drive us to some partner boutique, they are nice but it's mainly because they will get a bonus on all the amount you buy. And before that, they will force you to put five stars on the TripAdvisor app
Fawzy was a punctual and knowledgeable guide. He took us to the pyramids and the Sphinx, organized a short camel ride, and shared key insights about these iconic landmarks. Throughout the day, he gave us helpful tips on how to interact respectfully with locals, which we really appreciated. We then visited a workshop for perfumes and essential oils, followed by lunch at a decent (albeit touristy) buffet. Fawzy also kindly negotiated our transfer with the driver, and since we had some time left, he suggested a quick visit to a local souk. A smooth, well-paced tour — perfect for a first introduction to Cairo!
Gamil was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and shared lots of really interesting info as we went round the pyramids and then the sphinx. He took lots of stunning arty photos for us on our phones and made this a great climax to our holiday in Egypt. Thanks Gamil and our driver and Travel Door Tours!😃
We loved our tour guide Mimo & driver Ahmed. They were both so kind and knowledgeable. Gave us a wonderful tour of Giza. Mimo took the best photos of us capturing the views. We trusted him, felt comfortable and most importantly had a wonderful first day in Egypt.
Mimo was Driver Ahmed was excellent I will highly recommend him well English spoken. Lots of knowledge in the Egypt history. thanks Mirza
Nice tour with a flexible plan. Smooth pickup and drop-off. Also took us to a traditional restaurant to have traditional Egyptian food. Ahmed also captured some nice pictures. We were travelling with baby so had to hurry towards the end as we were running out of time. But overall, it was a good experience.
We recently took a tour of the Giza Pyramids and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks in large part to our fantastic guide, Ahmed. His deep knowledge of ancient Egyptian history brought the pyramids and the Sphinx to life! He was not only informative but also engaging, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. Ahmed's friendly and professional demeanor made the entire day enjoyable, and he ensured we got the best views and photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour!
This was a great tour all thanks to Ahmed. He was super engaged during the tour and very attentive of us. This tour is your one stop shop for all Giza tours I promise. From sight seeing, to shopping & eating local, this is one of the best packages I have booked on my Egypt trip!
The tour with Ahmed and our driver Farag was an excellent experience! They picked me up at my hotel, offered me bottled water, and as we waked around the sites Ahmed was very knowledgeable about the history of the Pyramids and the Sphinx. After that, we visited a papyrus shop where I was given a demonstration of how papyrus paper was made, then to a perfume oil shop, and then to a spice shop. It was interesting to see all the varieties of oils and spices, and was under no pressure to buy anything. I highly recommend this tour!
My guide, Ahmed, was fantastic! With a background in Italian literature and Egyptology, he brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the experience. This trip is a wonderful introduction to the history of Egypt's Old Kingdom and its religion . Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to visit papyrus and perfume shops, where you can pick up some souvenirs. But you also have the option to skip this part of shopping isn't your thing. The driver was also great—always on time and incredibly helpful
Fully satisfied with the quality of service. The guide and driver were friendly to our child. They moved flexibly depending on our demands.
Having had the privilege of touring Egypt with Ahmed Ismail, I can confidently say that this experience far exceeded my expectations. Ahmed isn’t just a guide; they are a master storyteller, historian, and cultural ambassador. Their depth of knowledge about ancient Egyptian history, hieroglyphics, and archaeology was astonishing, and their ability to communicate it with passion and clarity made every moment unforgettable.
Mostafa was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humour. He and his driver (who we felt very comfortable with) were punctual, and informative. Mostafa answered all our questions regarding culture, shopping, and safety. While we were with Mostafa, other guides and venders did not bother us to purchase their goods which was a concern we had a two women traveling alone
The tour was amazing. I was able to take pictures, enter a pyramid, even ride a camel. The absolute best part was my guide they were so knowledgeable and provided lots of insight into the history. From pick up to drop off I felt like I was provided with a personal experience that I will never forget. This was definitely a great tour that I would recommend to anyone.
Our guide Mimo was so friendly and knowledgeable! The tour was very much worth it and we can highly recommend this to any one who wants to explore the pyramids. Our driver Khalid made sure we had a smooth pick up and safe drive. Thank you so much!
Add a wonderful time with Ahmed. Great background to the history. Easy going guide, and driver, enjoyed the experience.
Visit to the Pyramids and Camel rides. Guide Mohammad was very knowledgeable, polite and pleasant to talk to. He was great help and we felt like he was part of our family. Will highly recommend.
We had a great time with the tour guide name Mimo. He is super knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you.
This was one of the best tours we have had after traveling many countries. Our guide Abdu was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain everything in details. We had a wonderful day visiting Saqqara, Memphis, Carpet School, Giza Pyramids, Camel Ride, Sphinx, Papyrus makers. It was comfortable and not at rushed. It was great talking to Abdu and our driver Amr. Recommend everyone who wants a great day trip in Cairo or Giza.
Fantastic experience. Well thought out travel route. The ATV and camel ride are must do activities! Thank you
Had a fantastic tour with Mo Salah! He was very knowledgeable and experienced. Took lots of good photos and learned a lot about the pyramids. Definitel recommend!
OMG, the best of the best. I don't know where to start, our tour guide Mohammad super awesome,friendly, informative and made us feel welcome. Most important he protected us from all the scammers and hustlers out there, our driver Mostafa SAFE SAFE SAFE, thank you for the best day in cairo. See you next year.Oh almost forgot thank you for the sugar cane juice, IT IS A MUST HAVE.
Super authentic experience and Muhammad was just amazing. He was so accomodating and really customised the tour for us! We ended up doing lots of extra activities that he suggested, which gave us a feeling that we got to see the real Egypt, beyond just the main tourist attractions. He also gave us recommendations on whether extra entrance tickets for the attractions were worth it or perhaps better skipping them. We appreciated the honesty very much. Lunch was beautifully authentic, he stopped by the road to get us mango drinks and took us to a traditional tea house as well. Our driver was very polite land lovely.
This is by far the best tour we had in the whole Egypt - I dont know how to express my pleasure with Mohammed (thank you Mohammed!) and our driver - everything was very smooth, on time and we felt very secure for the whole duration of the trip. The car was amazing, it was new, with A/C. The food was very local (what we were expecting) and very delicious. We went to several local places that were not listed in the tour and we loved it. Also, Mohammed is very fluent in english what helped us a lot. I would highly recommend this tour and say hi to Mohammed from me! Enjoy your time in Egypt!
The tourist guide Mohamed and the driver were so welcoming and professional. All trip was really nice and they had patience for talking photos etc. Camel ride was well organized and the people are easy going. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.
My guide Mohamed Salah was fantastic. He was really welcoming, honest and very knowledgeable about Egyptian history, teaching me a lot. He also went above above and beyond to make sure I was always getting the best experience. The sight themselves were amazing and an absolute must see. The camel ride was also a fun experience.
Mr Khalifa was a very nice tour guide and you won’t regret this experience! If you want to learn some history behind the pyramids and Egypt, as well as good photos he’s your guy.
Jimmy was on point. He took his time and explained in detail, he’s constant need to assist and provide us with best experience was really appreciated…I would definitely come back and even bring out my family and friends with Jimmy as our tour guide….Thank you Jimmy for the amazing and spectacular experience!!!!!
Great guide, very friendly, he knows very well egypt history. The activities are very great and fun :)
Gamil was one of the best guides I've ever had, great guy, super friendly, super nice. Took care of everything. The entire experience was also amazing. Including everything. Would recommend everyone to go with Gamil.
The guide was amazing. Very affordable and everything was just as described. Gamil was friendly, funny and will make your guide even better!
Had a great time touring the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx with our guide Gamil (Jimmy). He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us a lot of info without becoming pedantic. He also took great pictures. The camel ride on the tour was also fun and led to great pictures! Totally recommend.
The tour was amazing! We really enjoyed having Wael as our guide as he was extremely knowledgeable and made the entire experience incredible for us. In addition, we really appreciated how he and the other guides went above and beyond to ensure our tour was amazing and also appreciated all the pictures they took for us. Would highly recommend taking this tour!
The best part of the tour was visiting Giza pyramids and riding on a camel. Gamil was my guide and he offered excellent insight into the Ancient Egyptian history as well as excellent customer service. I highly recommend his service.
Great tour! We had lots of fun! Gamil was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the history and everything as wall as he is a great photographer! Definitely recommend him to anyone!
Amazing guide! Extremely knowledgeable on Egyptian history. Gamil showed up early and took me to several of the best places to take pictures and see the pyramids
My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves on this tour. We had a wonderful time learning about the pyramids and tasting the local cuisine. Mael takes the best pictures as he knows all the ideal spots.
Wael was fantastic. Unbelievable knowledge, hospitable and made my wife and I have a great half day tour of the pyramids and Sphinx with a camel ride included. Punctual hotel pick up, and top quality communication prior to arrival in Egypt to ensure we were fully prepared.
Amira Ezzat has been an excellent guide! The tour we recommend without a doubt. We have toured the pyramids and the sphinx as well as some shops in which they perform natural papyri and perfumes among others.
It was an amazing experience, our guide Amira Ezzat gave us a great tour, we loved everything, her way of explaining things was extraordinary. I recommend it 100%
Tour Bellissimo! Ahmed, the guide, was great! He took us for an Egyptian breakfast before starting the tour to the pyramids, where he explained a bit of ancient Egyptian history. To conclude the half day spent together took us to see how papyri are made and to buy some delicious spices! Even the very kind driver accompanied us to the airport after the tour!! Highly recommended
Great tour with a fantastic Guide. Karim is the best! Always attentive to everyone and offering details that made the visit special. We would definitely come back!
C’était super merci à notre guide Amir, nous avons admiré les pyramides, mangé une repas typique et fait du chameau !
