I booked a tour for my Manager and his family And the tour was amazing And everything was great
Amazing day with salah the tour guide think you
Goodday with sam and egypedia tours
Thank you, Egypedia Tours, for everything. We enjoyed it immensely; everything was organized and ready, from the operator to the driver. Amr was our guide; he told us all the secrets of the pyramids. I highly recommend him to you.
Samah did an excellent job, very helpful and made the experience great. Answered all the questions we had and we learnt a lot, very friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour, a great way to see the amazing sites in Giza
Sam was outstanding as a guide. Knowledgeable, adaptable and passionate about his subject expertise, Sam guided us through the pyramid complex with information that we had not seen in other guides. Sam felt like a friend from the start and gave us all the relevant details (pick up time, driver and car details) that we needed to make our trip educational but safe. If you are looking for an educational tour from a Egyptology student enthusiastic about his subject, that bypasses all the usual tour guide patter (and unwanted purchase opportunities from their friends) we would recommend Sam in a heartbeat.
I would definitely recommend this tour! Everything was smooth from pickup to drop-off. We were picked up on time and we felt safe and well taken care of. Our guide was great! He was knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He also knew all of the best spots to take photos! Overall, we had a great experience touring the Giza Pyramids
We had a great tour of the step pyramids and Memphis, Amir our guide was excellent. he went at our steady pace and was very informative with excellent English.
Outstanding visit to the great Pyramids at Giza Well guided and everything we hoped for. Well worth it.
