amazing tour guided by our friend Ahmed! Such a gentle man with amazing knowledge and love for his country. We loved every single minute of it! We go back to Brazil very grateful for this experience!

Eman was the tour guide and the driver was Ayman. They both did an excellent job and were very cordial. The tour hit the highlights for what we were wanting. Only issue was camel owner continually asking for more tip money.

Everything was just amazing and magical. Our guide Gamal and our driver Hassan were just incredible. They helped us with everything and were always exactly on time. Hassan is an amazing and calm driver and a very kind person. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, waited for us patiently and was never late. And he had good music in the car. ☺️ And Gamal was extremely knowledgable and fun and just a great person to be around! I would give both 11 /10 stars. ☺️ The tour itself was amazing too, we saw and experienced so much of Egypt in just one day. Would definitely recommend this tour and this company to anyone!! Thank you for the amazing experience! ☺️

Nour and Hassan made this two-day tour. They were lovely, welcoming and informative throughout. There were four of us and the transport was spacious, comfy and well air conditioned and we felt safe on each journey. The trip locations were plentiful and varied but we never felt rushed. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Cairo. An excellent experience with excellent people. Thank you Let’s Explore Egypt!

TL;DR; Not to be trusted - different experience than advertised. To start off - I am very upset at the experience I had on this tour, but will try to be objective. As a bit of back-story, I speak native-level English and Spanish, but opted for a Spanish language tour because of my travel companion. One learning for me is that a private tour (such as this) is more intense - it was just me and my travel companion, and the driver and our Egyptologist, and the Egyptologist guide is always with you, as opposed to leaving you time to walk around more relaxed, take some pictures and enjoy the moments in front of some truly impressive works of architecture - next time I would go with a larger tour where we just get dropped off and can walk around a bit, and have some time by ourselves in quiet. We had requested a Spanish tour, and our Egyptologist guide started telling us about how he spoke English, some German and some Dutch, but not Spanish, and even showed us his badge/license around his neck to prove his Dutch language skills (and lack of Spanish). He would throw us a bone by saying one word out of 10 in Italian/Spanish/Portuguese as if it were Spanish - but hey, they’re all the same language, right 🤦‍♂️? Not cool. It would have been better if he had spoken at least good English - but this also wasn’t great (and I am very understanding as most of my family and most of my co-workers are not English native speakers). We had requested a start-time of 8 am (also confirmed through Tripadvisor) but our tour guide texted us on the day of, saying they would arrive at 8:30 AM - not great, but I also understand this happens ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Altogether - I felt like we spent way too little time with the big pyramids, but I thought this was ok, since this is an ambitious tour - trying to take you to a lot of places in one day - but became less forgiving as the day went on (to be explained). After the pyramids is when the upselling started - we went to one jewelry store (to use the bathroom) and on the way to and from there, he was trying to sell me some Egyptian jewelry with my name in hieroglyphics on it, but I turned it down. He then took us to a spice museum/shop, where I found such exotic things as … cumin … paprika … and black tea … I could have definitely skipped this part of the tour. Each shop is sold as a “museum” about a certain part of Egyptian culture, which makes it hard to turn down (at least at first). We then had lunch (no complaints, and they were accommodating for two vegetarians). I discovered a couple new things in Egyptian cuisine I enjoyed and would look for in future. After this, we had more stops in some shops to try and sell us things. The first one was a perfume shop (took 20-30 min). At this point, I was a bit frustrated with the tour experience, disappointed we hadn’t spent more time at the 3 great pyramids, and asked the tour guide if we could move to the next part of the tour (Memphis and the stepped pyramid) - he shut me down immediately and said there were “only two more” shops to go and see. FML - not what I expect when I book a private tour. The reason they take you to these stores is because they earn commission. After every shop visit, when we returned to the car, the driver or guide would go to the shop again to see if we had bought anything. After this, we went to two more shops (to see how papyrus was made, and another where they had t-shirts). A bit of a disappointing thing at this point was that seeing how we hadn’t bought any souvenirs up to this point, the driver reminded us that tipping was “at least” 20 dollars. After this we drove down to the Mit Rahina museum. We then made it to the stepped pyramid (aka the Saqqara pyramid), and had a bit more time here - this part was finally ok. After this, we went to a carpet museum/shop. While the shops are interesting to see- I would have much rather not gone to them. Also - it seems like it is more of a social call the the guide takes at each of the shops - even after we were done seeing the shop/hearing the sales pitch, the guide would still be in there, having a tea or coffee with the owners, swapping stories. This was the end of the tour - at this point we were going back to Cairo. Once arriving in Cairo, we made another stop at ANOTHER papyrus museum/shop- really unnecessary at this point, but this Egyptologist guide was a more relentless salesman than an Egyptologist, I guess. At this point, the guide left us (no complaints, good to the back of him) and the driver (nice guy, from the small interactions we had) took us back to the hotel. Oh, and before I forget, we were in such a rush to see that spice shop that we spent all of 3 minutes with the Spinx 🤦‍♂️. For a tour whose description starts with “Escape Giza’s persistent hawkers”, I feel like I ended up with Cairo’s greatest hawker as my tour guide. Will have to come back for the Sphinx, and definitely not with this agency. Summarized Feedback: Egyptologist - more of a salesman Tour of the pyramids - you spend more time in museum/shops than with the pyramids Camel ride - could be fun, but not my cup of tea Lunch - good Sphinx - 🤦‍♂️ Mit Rahina museum - ok Saqqara - good

Thank you for a half day tour, precious memories of Cairo. ガイドとドライバーは親切でした。写真も沢山撮ってくれたり。でもラクダは30分も乗らないし、チップ少ないと不機嫌になられるし（百エジプトポンドだと少ないとねだられ結局二百。ほぼ十分くらいのアテンドで）メインのギザピラミッドやスフィンクスは遠目から見て終わり、4時間半のツアーで三万円弱はちょっと高すぎると思いました。

Sam was our host for this tour. He was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. From when he picked us up, he was gave us all the necessary background about the places we were about to visit. He was also very accommodating and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and have everything we need.

Sam was an excellent tour guide, he was patient, kind and very knowledgeable about his country. I Had an amazing experience.

Our tour was amazing and informative. Our tour guide Sam was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour covered many of the historical Egyptian sites. My family and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Sam our tour guide was the best thing that happen to us on this trip. He made sure that we saw all the historical sites. Best foods and he is now an honorary Jamaican. Our group was 16 strong and he was amazing.

We were a group of 16 with friends and families. Our tour guide Sam gave us one of the best experience ever and we had great time. He was kind, welcoming, patient, energetic and very informative to say the least. I would recommend Sam everyday any day.

Ramadan (my tour guide) was absolutely incredible. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the pyramids given his background in archeology and was always super helpful (and funny!) along the way. Our driver Desuqi (Muhammad) was also fantastic. Highly recommend both of them!
