What travelers are saying
- Pioneer519696407063 contributionsLoved Loved Loved. Would recommend and choose this tour guide & driver over and over again. Informative and engaging, leaned a lot, you can tell that he is knowledgeable. Loved the little fun facts too.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mcrsteManchester, UK48 contributionsWe booked late the day before, but still received a message from Donia our guide explaining the pick up from Amr the next morning. Pick up was prompt, and on time.
Donia our guide was very informative, funny and happy to go at our speed, explaining the history as we went round. During the tour she guided us to the best sports for taking photos.
At the end we were offered a trip to the papyrus and incense museums - but this wasn’t compulsory so we declined with no issues.
Would totally recommend.Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was nice to be with a knowledgeable person! And the lunch was really good!
I didn’t know the atv was included and he told me it was and I said no but that was my fault! Other than that I had a great time and felt safe as a solo traveler!Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Claudia M3 contributionsAMAZING tour guide and driver!! Mimo (Mahmoud) and Ibrahim were the absolute best! Mimo was very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind plus had a great sense of humor! He knew the best places in Cairo and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our tour - even at lunch he took time to explain each dish and ensured our camel ride was perfect!
100% would recommend!! Thank you Mahmoud!!! And thank you to your sweet driver Ibrahim who got us everywhere safely and quickly! We saw so much in one day! What an unforgettable start to our trip in Egypt!Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Louise MHelen's Bay, UK125 contributionsWonderfully wonderful Nevin took us around Cairo-we did the pyramids, sphinx and GEM. Nevin knows all the places to go for the insta pics... charmed my daughter with her mutual love of the animals...one dog actually knows her car to greet her ready for done scraps. Nevin got us local falafels for lunch-yummy - organised camels rides, jumped every queue and even knew the plushest toilet in the outstanding new GEM museum!! We did a 12 day tour of Luxor/aswan on a 5 day cruise with George (her husband) organised. Every minute was organised for us-drivers to take us everywhere-visas organised to make the daunting airport easy- fabulous hotels with beautiful surrounding and delicious food. Our itinerary was all organised... and faultless!! If you are ever considering a trip of a lifetime to Egypt - don't hesitate in booking Nevin for Cairo- and George for the whole of Egypt. All the top British Airways pilots and crew highly rate her... and they have high expectations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️she does not disappointWritten January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zachary B1 contributionHaving a personal driver and guide took any stress out of experiencing these wonders for the first time. My guide, Essam, let me take my time to take in every sight and never rushed me. I got to do all the things I wanted in a pyramids visit: see all 3 great pyramids from every angle, go inside the tomb of the largest one, see the sphinx and ride a camel around them. He pointed out extra details like the location of ancient fossils still visible in the bedrock and the site where burial boats were extracted from. At the Egypt museum I got to hear information about details in some of the artifacts that weren't on the information plaques and get an overview of every dynasty of ancient Egypt catalogued in the museum without being overwhelmed. Without a guide each mummy, statue, and hieroglyphic can start to look the same but Essam kept the focus on the subtle features of each relic that made it unique and why it was important in our understanding of the ancient world.Written January 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kate DuffyWashington DC, DC3 contributionsGreat experience. I was a single traveler and had a great time with Amr. I loved the sand boarding and boat ride. The hiking up the sand rocks was worth the view. This is a great break from the busy streets of CairoWritten January 10, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sangeeth S3 contributionsAmal was excellent guide. She organised our trip very well and picked from our hotel on time. This is our first time to Cairo and we already started liking the city and people. Our today’s pyramid trip was flawless everything spot on. We really enjoyed every bit of the trip. Would recommend Amal to anyone who want to explore Pyramids on their own pace. She also excellent about Egypt & pyramid history! And the last thing she made sure that lunch is ready towards end of our trip which was delicious.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aastha K1 contributionPassant was an amazing guide. She explained everything in detail and was very sweet and helpful. She helped us with everything we needed and was a helpful sister! If you book Let’s explore make sure you ask for Passant as your guide, you will love her!Written January 11, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bella M3 contributionsWe had a great private tour today with Karam. He knew all the best places for photos and took us to a yummy and beautiful restaurant for lunch. He also, had all the hook ups for camel rides and atv’s. Pyramids so beautiful definitely a must see.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Meera5 contributionsThis was the best tour during our 2 weeks in Egypt. We booked the private tour for 2 adults and one young kid to saqqara. Our guide Wael was very knowledgeable and he kept our son entertained the whole time. The tour had the right pace to not tire us out , yet we did everything we wanted to do and learned a lot about the pyramids and the archaeological site in saqqara.Written December 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joe O2 contributionsThis tour was awesome! Seeing the pyramids at Giza along with the Sphinx was a really special experience. But you could really do that on your own. What made this so special was our tour guide, Sam, and our driver, Hassan. Sam gave us what felt like at times a college level lecture's worth of history and geology lessons about the area. He also had the eyes of someone who knew how and where to take the best pictures. He was really friendly and insightful and always answered our questions and ensured we were feeling comfortable and enjoying ourselves. 10/10 highly recommend spending the day with him.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- M Samiul Haque P2 contributionsThis was our best guided tour in Egypt. Heba Kamal was very knowledgeable and offered expansive takes on the different sites. Unlike other guides, she never once mentioned anything about tipping her and was really into her role. Emo tours also felt a lot more professional than other tour providers, highly recommend!Written December 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
