Fantastic. - Our guide Maria was fantastic, she explained and told us the whole story of the pyramids and Egypt in general, also telling us many legends. She offered us coffee just started the tour, then she also offered us juice and water, and in general she was really kind, waiting for us without putting pressure or haste, she took beautiful photos in places super recommended by her. If I could do this experience every day I would definitely do it with her because she really exceeded all expectations

Happy service provided - I took the guide+car service.
Aya was my tour guide, she can speak Spanish very well, you will have no problem communicating with her, she gave us the space, time and history every visit. 100% recommended.
May there be more women guides in Egypt 💪!!
The driver all right, with good dress and presence, very professional ✌️.
If you want a good guide and tour, here it is, at least I was very happy with the service provided by the guide and the driver.

Rania the second - an individual excursion! - In a word; again fantastic!
I take you on a journey again, which I made not entirely carelessly in their selection, as I was lucky for the second time to have been accompanied without defect - here again warmly connected Rania at the point!:)
Dressed in a bunch of words, here is my report on a day that is so not quite what you book here, as it has been customized, but I don't know where else to put my words on paper, even if it is only by electronic means.;) My thanks in the frame go to Mr. Haisam, who had set up a tour so spontaneously within less than a handful of hours on the way home from the last tour, which dedicated Giza Plateau with Sphinx, the Cheops Pyramid and the Tomb of Marsa Ankh as excursion destinations, according to my request, that included marveling at the new museum (now only referred to as GEM [the Grand Egyptian Musuem]), but also an Olympic-suspicious spurt through Khan El-Kalili, as well as good shots between nearly a dozen weddings in front of the Citadel of Saladin! Buckle up, because it was a glorious day filled with humor and new learning! ^^
I was granted the opportunity to tackle a new experience with Rania. We took more time than usual to bear your pain - besides me, who always paused to take another photo, possibly to point out that this piece speaks for the alien/preastronautics theory - and then I was also a bit embarrassed, for the driver's benefit, Bassam Faris, given that one assumes overall a stay of 4h, when we took a good 5h and 40min time... ^^' Believe me when I tell you that you spend a good one or two complete days in the museum and even then remain questionable whether you can marvel at all the exhibits. ^^' Like almost everything in Egypt compared to Europe, it is much larger - so too is the cultural asset, which is immediately noticeable when you enter the new building - a massive statue of Ramses of the second welcomes you in the entrance hall, decorated with hyroglyphs, among other engravings of his daughter and son, with which the knowledge tour of Rania began!
Rania’s pain mentioned earlier also related to her ankle, which had been kinked the day before, and you can also only ask tens of times if she needs a break, the woman had put herself in her head to take the lead and we immediately first made our way to the excavated boats, which were buried there on the Giza plateau, as the days before learned from her, and were reassembled here in full splendor from their 1224 parts!
At least the extended stay at the Musuem allowed us that she could order something from a pharmacy and ask our driver, who was then so nice (thanks again Habibi! ;)) to get it in the meantime. ^^
So while Bassam Faris was moving around the houses for ankles to be healed, we were fighting from room to room, as the division of the 12 rooms is divided into 4 chronologically consecutive periods of time, from prehistoric times with the development of the simplest of all objects, such as the cutting tool, to the Greco-Roman period and the smooth transition from the old to the new construction, which is particularly noticeable, even to the untrained eye, in the cladding of columns, as was also admired later in the citadel of Saladin.
As on Wednesday on my first tour with Rania, she again gave me complete freedom to photograph, which just aroused my interest, but otherwise we adhered to the procedure laid down by her super - we went back in time from ancient Egypt to the year 0 and were thanks to the search of the boats before, also not trapped in a group mass, which always gave the opportunity for good photos with fewer tourists in the background! A quick snapshot later of what you want, then reuniting with Rania and immediately she merges fluidly into the context of a statue you now find yourself facing and noticing how you are wordlessly amazed... ^^ Almost with the ignorance and fascination of a child, you catch yourself shaking your head in disbelief from time to time and what you can learn from Rania trumps the written one of the plaques by lengths! ^^
After the 12 rooms we went to a second part of the GEM, where the gigantic exhibition of the tourist magnet par excellence, Tutankhamuns, is located. As before, my accompaniment knew how to start the important and good pieces - not infrequently one noticed one or the other person listening in, because of the stingy pieces those inscriptions on the showcases, even here not the knowledge of Rania that water could do! ^^
The Higlight, Tutankhamun's mask, can be viewed up close when queuing for a good 10min - with the zoom function of the smartphone we skilfully saved time and contacted our driver, who was finally released from waiting for us - sorry again Faris!! ^^' -.-"
A short drive towards Old Cairo later, I stood at the entrance to Khan El-Kalili, probably the oldest market in the world. As discussed with Rania the night before, after 7 days in Giza my suitcase was filled with souvenirs to the limit of attack - and also the import limit, which is duty-free up to 150.- undeclarable at the Swiss airport, was so exhausted, we focused on some pictures and after 20min of sporty 20min also left behind this so worth seeing act - as I said my trip was individually adapted and for that I am really grateful! ^^
The penultimate stop of my last day of stay and related excursions was the Citadel of Saladin; Even if I am no longer interested in religion, which meant that ancient Cairo was never relevant to me, as the excursions are always paired with the visit to mosques and the Copenhagen churches, they were omitted in my case, and we took time here leisurely for explanations and worthwhile photos!:) The most impressive thing in the prayer room that is still active today are the previously mentioned different columns from all eras of Egypt, so these were used wildly mixed in the construction of the plant!
When we had our pictures taken there after failed selfie attempts, we made a detour to the prison area, which was still actively used until about 1980-1985, but is now part of the Musuems Teil. As well as this worth seeing part, was the mighty fountain complex, which is located in the middle of the forecourt to the main building and with the non-functioning gift, the bell tower from French King Louis-Philippes, is in line with the entrance of the mighty dome! Wow, just wow! Similar to the tomb of Marsa Ankh, I do not deprive you of the experience to be had on the spot, but I can assure you that here Rania also has one or the other knowledge in peto for you, as well as encourages good ideas of the photos!;)
I would have absolutely not noticed the oldest high seat from Alabaster and I probably would have walked past the tomb of Saladin ignorantly - so it was also worthwhile here not to have explored on my own! ^^
On leaving I was still privy to secret knowledge - I will keep quiet Rania!;P
For the sake of the ankle we stayed on site for a few minutes, hoping one of the shuttle minicars would be able to take us with us, but due to the tens of weddings in the afternoon we had to rely on the last footpath and after a good 11h meanwhile got back together with our driver... Since the heat never got so far towards me as to develop hunger during the day, we decided to eat Egyptian food one last time in the restaurant, in whose kitchen I enjoyed three days earlier! So as a take-away order I stocked up on swarms and we drove to the hotel.
As I said, the excursion was adapted to me and we had nevertheless exceeded the time frame, yet both were not to be surpassed in terms of accompaniment - there was never time pressure in the room, there was laughter and a lot learned again - I didn't regret for a second still visiting the citadel and being able to check off the musuem with Rania for a first time - next year then with more time!;)
Doesn't it yew, as I said at the beginning, to regret, except maybe the fact that it had to end then... ^^'
Thank you Faris and Rania, I hope you guys were okay with me, I know I got my money's worth! ^^

Amazing Giza pyramids tour - Great Tour with Ghada!
We had a wonderful private tour with Ghada to the Giza Pyramids and the Tomb of Meresankh. She was very kind, warm, and explained everything in a clear and engaging way — her English is excellent!
It was just me and my boyfriend, and Ghada made the experience really special. She showed us the best spots for photos and kindly offered to help us capture some memories along the way.
She also gave us great tips on what to see and do during the rest of our stay in Cairo, which was super helpful.
We felt very welcomed and learned a lot. Highly recommended — and don’t forget to ask for Ghada! 😊🌸

Experience Pyramids - We had a great time on this trip to the pyramids! It was a nice experience, well organized, and our guide Wafaa was really friendly. We really enjoyed the visit, it was impressive.
Small point to note: the tour also includes stops in shops (perfumes, papyrus, etc.), which was not very clear on the poster of the offer. It’s not unpleasant in itself, but it would be better to mention it on the sheet, so that people know what to expect...

Extraordinary pyramid trip with creative guides and a Pro driver - The experience of the pyramids was one of the most beautiful and ancient experiences I have ever had, and thank God the tour guide A. Speaking of, the outstanding driver is professor Mustafa.
A. It was an example of sophistication, culture and professionalism. Its narrative style, insightful information, and enjoyable method of telling history made us live within the pharaonic civilization in every detail. I was well-organized, the package was high, the comfort of the whole flight was a nice companion.
Professor Mustafa was a address for safety and professionalism. Its quiet drive, high ethics, and continuous collaboration add comfort and confidence to the journey. Always on time, smiling, making sure everything is smooth and comfortable.
Thank you from the heart, a. F&A. Mustafa, you've made our trip to the Pyramids an unforgettable memorial, adding an unparalleled exceptional character. I would recommend everyone visiting Cairo to experience this experience with you

Friendly and Informative Guide at the Pyramids - We booked the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara Private Tour, but due to time and weather, we focused mainly on the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. Our guide, Waffa, was warm, friendly, and informative right from the start. She explained the historical background and key facts before we began exploring, which helped us appreciate the sites even more.
We started our tour around 12:30 PM, during the hottest part of the day. Understanding the heat, Waffa encouraged us to go up to the pyramids ourselves to touch and experience the stones. Afterward, she joined us and made sure we were comfortable throughout. She also took some great photos of our family, which we really appreciated.
After the main sights, she brought us to a few local shops — including a perfume shop, cotton clothing store, and a handmade jewelry place — which gave us a nice glimpse into local craftsmanship. Though we didn’t make it to Memphis and Saqqara, we felt the tour was still a fulfilling experience.
Waffa also gave us valuable local recommendations for the rest of our trip, which we found very helpful. Overall, it was a good experience for our family, and we’re thankful for Waffa’s kind and informative guidance
