Thanks... - Our tour guide was an expert and shared a lot of information about the pyramids with me. I was very grateful. He answered all my questions diligently, as long as he could! The driver was also very patient and spoke good English. When I asked him how he learned, he said he spent a year watching movies and learning on his job—he was self-taught! It was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you all for your hard work!

Amazing Tour! - We landed in Cairo the night before and were picked up at 8:00 a.m. the next day. Our guide spoke excellent English and impressed us with his knowledge of his home country! Together with his driver, he always guided us through the day very attentively. Without him, the day would not have been so relaxed and successful. We can only recommend this private tour to everyone. Thank you for this beautiful day.

Fantastic Trip - Worth every Euro! It was an amazing experience. We saw them on Tv and photos but nothing could display the sight we had when we were actually there, We got picked up on time at the hotel with our guide already in the private car. Both of them went out of their way to make our tour special by taking pictures with us in various poses that played with the Environment, He took his time to explain us everything in detail and we are more than happy we booked this tour. It's was an amazing experience and would reccomend it without a doubt 10/10

Very good tour, the guide great, the organizers less - We had a very nice guide named Adel Mohamed. He was always waiting for us. Took nice pictures of us. Really looked at everything that we weren't cheated by the water, chased away annoying traders, took care in the restaurant that we got hot food. The driver Helmi was also very helpful and friendly. The pyramids are definitely worth seeing. Sakkara and Memphis, too. And with private guide very relaxed.

Mixed Experience on the Tour - The booking process was smooth, and we requested a female guide but were assigned a male guide, which was unexpected. The pick-up was delayed, and we only found out the driver was waiting after reaching out ourselves. The itinerary was not followed, as we started the trip at Saqqara instead of Giza. We were also taken to a gallery to buy paintings and encouraged to purchase from local vendors, which felt unnecessary. While the tickets for the sites were mentioned, we were not informed that we would need to pay for parking, which was an unexpected cost. The guide also suggested tipping a person inside the Saqqara pyramids who seemed like his friend. A positive note: when we ran out of cash, the guide covered the cost, and we reimbursed him later. At Giza, the guide was in a hurry and didn’t give us enough time to take pictures. He insisted that he would take good pictures for us and urged us to move quickly to the next location, which felt rushed. The guide repeatedly mentioned that we had booked a "cheap" private tour, which added to the disappointment. Overall, the experience could have been better with clearer communication about costs, a more accurate itinerary, and less pressure for shopping and tipping.
