Amazing few hours in Giza

I had the best time with guide Doaa and driver Eslam!! I was stopping in Cairo for just a few hours with very little heads up. Hesham was amazing at organizing something which for me, where I saw all the highlights in just a few hours (pyramids, Sphinx, papyrus museum and perfume oils). Doaa was extremely informative, made me laugh, took lots of pictures and I really my experience with her and Eslam. Highly recommend and if I am back in Cairo, I would definitely contact them again.

Dishonest tour guide

Dishonest tour guide. Money went missing from my purse. I was taken to places on the way to the excursion that were overpriced. I did not want to make the stops but the guide kept insisting that we stop quickly. I tried to leave another review but the company keeps claiming that I’m posting for the wrong company. This is the company.

Good value, flexible tour!

Our guide, Mona, was great. She had a fun personality and lots of knowledge about the pyramids and Egypt. The camel ride is short but you get excellent photos! Mona was also very flexible in adjusting the schedule for our preferences. Very good value for the price!

Very personalized

My tour guide Ehab did everything to help me enjoy the tour. I was looking for e-cigarettes and we went above and beyond to help me find them. I was having issues with the tour I was gonna do the day after that and he told me to enjoy the trip and that he was gonna keep calling them so that I didn't have to worry about it. It was 100% a private and personalized service experience. Plus the activities during the tour were also very entertaining and informative. He and the driver picked me up at the hotel and he got Turkey coffee for me and him. Then he was explaining the architecture surrounding the hotel i stayed at (downtown buildings). We stopped at a couple of shops before heading to Gyza. Then, we went to gyza pyramids and walk in the area for a little bit (we also ride the car if it was long distances) then the camel ride. Then Sphinx and surroundings. After leaving the gyza pyramids we went for an ATV ride and it had a really nice view of the pyramids on the background. Then we went to other shops then they brought me back to hotel. Picked me up for dinner and cruise with belly dancer and 3 other performances it was an open buffet in the Nile River. Also they were taking pictures all the time So if your traveling solo like I was you dont have to worry about it because they will take all the pictures you want.

History with entertaining atmosphere

Kareem has made a perfect day, creating a charming friendly atmosphere for diving into the most prominent points of the symbols of the Egyptian history. I cannot imagine a better way to begin the immersion into the Egyptian culture.
