Ayoub was an amazing tour guide! His attention to detail, deep knowledge of Egyptian history, and passion for sharing it made the experience unforgettable. He was professional, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. Thanks to him, my very first day in Egypt was incredible and exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend Ayoub to anyone looking for an informative and enjoyable tour. Thank you for making my first day in Egypt so special!
We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Kyrllos. His knowledge was outstanding, and he brought everything to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. Beyond being an excellent guide, he was a genuinely lovely person with a great sense of humour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If we had more time in, we would happily book all of our tours with Kyrllos. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!
Ayoub was amazing! He picked us up from our hotel, gave us water and was so easygoing! He took us all around the pyramids and the Sphinx, was able to give us the history behind everything. Highly recommend!! He also took amazing photos and videos for us!

Mina certainly knows about his subjects. At all times answering any queries. He made the visit to the pyramids, Egyption museum,Saqqara and the other visits most enjoyable. We were left with enough time to explore by ourselves which was good.

Mina was very communicative and allowed us to ask questions on every section of the museum. He was so passionate and you can tell he truly enjoys his job. We had previously communicated our desires of the tour, and he more than exceeded our expectations. (We went on Saturday since the hours are extended, and were pleasantly surprised at how the museum felt as if it were cleared out just for us!) I feel as though Mina was super thoughtful in how he took us through the GEM, and that he really captured the true essence of what this museum encompasses. The buildup to see the Tut Museum last was very well planned! I’ve would highly recommend this tour along with Mina! I truly cannot thank him enough for our experience. I searched many companies, and am so glad I ended up choosing this one and getting Mina. Service, pickup, knowledge of the Egyptologist, food and overall experience were 10/10! Thank you again, Mina! Such a memorable experience!

Sayed Mahmoud we had a great guide and a lovely day really enjoyed it
Was great to finally see the pyramids of giza and the sphinx on day one and Mina was very knowledgeable. Grand museum was amazing. Day 2, going to Saqqara and Memphis was quite disappointing. Not much to see.
Amr Moses was an outstanding tour guide and made our visit to the GEM Museum in Giza truly unforgettable. From the moment he arrived, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly welcoming. Traveling with my sisters, we felt completely at ease thanks to how attentive and caring he was throughout the entire day. His knowledge of the museum and Egyptian history was impressive—he explained everything in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. What really set him apart was his personality: he was funny, warm, and knew exactly how to keep the tour enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. He took his time with us, making sure we experienced everything fully and had all our questions answered. If you’re looking for a guide who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Amr Moses. He went above and beyond to make our day special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The GEM museum is a must-do if visiting Cairo. It is a spectacular building and it is possible to spend many days looking at all the artifacts. We spent about 3-4 hours and that was not enough. You need at least 1-1.5 hours for the King Tut gallery, 30 minutes for the solar boats, 30 minutes for the hanging obelisk and grand hall. We spent 60 minutes walking through all the other galleries - that was enough time to see 1-2 items of interest in each of the 10 or so galleries. We were a family of 6 with 2 children and 2 grandparents. My hope was that the tour guide would provide a detailed commentary on some of the most interesting artifacts in the museum. Unfortunately, the tour felt rushed - our guide would begin talking about something before we even gathered in front of her. While there is a lot to cover, I think it would have been better to see fewer things and spend more time learning about those artifacts. The most disappointing part was that she did not accompany us to the King Tut gallery - this was by far the most interesting and where we had the most questions. Instead she spent 1.5 hours having a coffee while waiting for us. After the King Tut gallery we were told to visit the solar boats on our own. I had to request her to join us which she did begrudgingly. The museum is truly amazing. It is very easy to buy tickets online rather than rely on the tour company. I also dont advise picking the lunch included option. There are many places to eat in the museum if you choose to take a break.
I can’t say enough great things about Khalefa. He is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. From start to finish, he made the entire experience seamless, engaging, and unforgettable. His knowledge of Egyptian history is incredible, but what really sets him apart is how he brings everything to life with passion, storytelling, and genuine enthusiasm. Khalefa is just a fantastic person to spend the day with—friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to making sure his new friends have an amazing experience. If you have the chance to tour with him, take it. It will absolutely elevate your trip. Highly, highly recommend.
