Giza with Gamal! - “Egypt with Gamal!!!!” Was an absolute blast. Gamal is knowledgeable, funny and a great guide. I’d spend a couple of weeks with him anytime.

Wonderful tour. Logistics needs work. - So I’m giving this 5 stars because of the support staff… the tour guide, his coworker and the driver. All were great. Everything was fast because, hey, it’s a group tour of something you could spend a week doing. The museum was amazing, and our guide (whose name I don’t remember, more on that later) was a wealth of knowledge. The lunch was great and the shopping was what I expected. I’m not a shopper.
The one criticism I have was the lack of communication from the tour company. This is our first cruise and we didn’t understand where to meet the bus or our tour guide’s name, which is important because there were multiple Let’s Explore Egypt buses. We sat on the wrong bus for at least 30 minutes, and we asked if we were on the right bus about 3 times and were told yes. Finally they realized something was wrong and figured it out but it caused a delay for everyone. All of this was avoidable. So management, get yourselves together. If we received a simple note saying “go across bridge, meet your tour guide Amun” (not his name… I don’t think) we would have figured it out.
Again, the tour was awesome. Logistics? Not very good.

Best day ever! - Wonderful day with Gamal, the best guide. We saw everything we wanted and more. We had a great lunch, had access to souvenirs, rode camels and made lasting memories. We had some older people in our group and he took great care of them. Would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Nice experience! - It was our first time in Egypt and we chose this experience for a chance to discover the pyramids and see Cairo in one day. Our guide Sam was very attentive and took care of everything. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful day, everything went perfectly.

Giza Private Tour - It’s a good trip…only thing we disagree was when we were taken to the store of souvenir, oil and paper which is not suppose to be included in the tour….for us It’s a waste of time.

Great Driver- Bad Guide- Experience could have been MUCH better - Our driver Andrew, was wonderful- talked to us during our long drive to Giza from Alexandria- explaing stuff we were seeing along the way.
When we picked up our guide - whose name was " Sayed" I believe- near Giza, he introduced himself then talked to the driver until we reached the pyramids.
Sayed/ our guide rushed us along at the pyramids. He was disappointed that we did not go on the camel walk- which I thought would give us a few extra minutes at the pyramids. Instead he walked fast, rushed thru basic explanations- kept wanting to take our pictures as we explained we just wanted some time to take in the moments- finally being face to face with these amazing pyramids. We had zero moments alone at the pyramids. We hurried by the Sphinx and then he was ready to leave. Again he issued disappointment that we didn't want to waste time at a papyrus place or cartouche seller- NEITHER was ever on our agenda. So we went to lunch- then to the Grand Egyptian Museum. And again, our guide rushed us thru some of the exhibits. He has an "I know it all" attitude, but did not answer basic questions, like "what year was the Ptolemy period?" He just said it was "New Kingdom". We had a hard time keeping up with him at the museum- it was like he was in a rush to end our day.
We finally got 10 minutes to ourselves by going in the gift shop. When we came out empty handed, he brought up his tip possibilities.
Overall, we spent 5.75 hours with our wonderful driver, Andrew, and 5 hours with our guide. Sayed. That didn't come close to 12 or 13 hours- and seems very lopsided. And again after we left the museum, our guide only spoke to our driver in non English- and ignored us. Our guide, Sayed, wouldn't listen to what WE wanted for our day- he had his own agenda. He even told me not to wear my head scarf in the lunch restaurant. He ruined our once in a lifetime visit to the pyramids.
Our wonderful driver, Andrew, carefully made his way thru the crazy traffic jams, with grace and positivity. He made our day better. I would be rating our tour as ZERO stars if not for Andrew- that's how bad Sayed made the experience for us.

Find another tour provider - We arrived early for our tour and found out we had a 10 minute walk to outside the port to meet up. We arrived before our meet up time and waited over an hour. The tour company did not answer their phones or texts. We waited in the dark. When we contacted viator they could not reach to tour provider either. Luckily there was a nice man from another company and we booked a tour with him. Before we left someone from this company showed up and our name was not on the list of booked tours for the day- but they hae happily taken our money. Stay away from booking with this company. Here's hoping we get our money
