Visiting the pyramids is an amazing experience, but you have to deal with all kinds of tourist traps and scams. You want a hassle-free tour to explore these ancient wonders, right? Well we've got you covered. We'll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo by air-conditioned vehicle or private van and take care of everything else for you.

Full Day with Adam

Had a great day in Egypt. Visited pyramids, camel ride, sphinx, museum, bazaar, perfume gallery, paper museum and had lunch. Coming from the US we had an armed guard (totally not necessary but govt provided) which was a surprise. A separate driver and tour guide Adam made it nice for front door pick ups and Adam was able to speak during all drives. It made it so easy to get it all done in one day. He gave lots of details at the museum and pyramids. Our tour was on time and did not feel rushed. The guide was very knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. He kept the teens interested also. Great lunch at a clean restaurant. Would recommend and take again myself. Thanks Adam!

Highly Reccomend.

I did a full day private tour to the Giza pyramids, Sphynx and the Citadel. I was guided by Ashraf, who I can not reccomend enough to request. He was more of a friend than a guide which was great for a solo traveler but would work well with a group. He was very informative and took me to places I hadn't even consider. (Papyrus manufacturing shop for example) I highly reccomend this tour and would go again. Ashraf was the best.

Incredible first day in Egypt w/ Bassem

Our first day in Cairo was a fantastic experience with our tour guide Bassem. We started off our day with the Great Pyramid and then proceeded to the camel ride to the Sphinx. Right from the start Bassem was helpful in providing us with great recommendations: from extending the camel ride and how to best avoid the street hawkers during the day. We then went to the papyrus institute, had a great lunch and then went to the step pyramid. He was consistently informing us with facts at every stop and we highly recommend him to guide you around Cairo for your visit. He was filled with positive energy and his friendliness made us feel welcome in Cairo for our first time. Thanks again Bassem!

Highlight of our Trip

We booked a day trip with this company last week. It was amazing from start to finish! Our guide Manar Atwa was super professional, she had exceptional knowledge and passion for her profession. The whole day felt like we were spending it with friends. Manar, our driver, the people at the restaurant, all of them was just fantastic. I recommend this company to anyone that wants a memorable experience. We humbly thank you Tree of Life Tours. We will be back and will never forget our day spent with you!

Best way to see Cairo in 2 days with Zenab Hanafy!

My husband and I were recently in Cairo for a quick 3 day visit so we planned a 2 full day private guided tour to see as much as we could see in such a short time. We also did the private airport pickup and drop off at our hotel and the private return to the airport. Worth every penny! The driver was waiting for us - helped us with the visa - and we were on our way in minutes. Our 2 day tour included Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur, Cairo, Camel Ride, Felucca Sailing, Dinner Cruise and the Sound and Light Show. We had an amazing time - made even better by our driver Alaa, and our lovely guide Zenab Hanafy. We're in our mid-late 60's - and Zenab made sure we got to see what we wanted - but stressed that this was "our" tour and if we needed to stop and rest, stop for a cool drink, etc - no problem. She's very informative, open to questions and just an all around nice person. Without exception she and our driver were on time, and in fact, early - waiting for us at the hotel lobby (we're always early). We can't stress enough how smoothly this trip went and it's all because of Zenab.

Amazing trip with Mahmoud Hoka!

I ended up spending my full day on two separate trips with this wonderful guide! I got to see so much, both in and out of Cairo. Mahmoud was always very helpful and would offer to take some super great photos of me! Overall, I just had a wonderful time and would for sure try to get the same guide if I went back to Cairo.

I would definitely recommend this...

<p>I would definitely recommend this tour especially going to see the Pyramids at Saqqara and going inside one of them. The Lunch was simple, but tasty , and we had a view of the Sphinx and Pyramids. Our guide , Wagih Thabit, was exceptional. He told us everything we wanted to know and his English was excellent. We were collected from our hotel at the agreed time and had a comfortable mini bus for the whole day. This is a Christmas Day we will not forget.</p>
