Our visit to the Pyramids of Giza with Forever Egypt Tours was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. This was not just a sightseeing trip — it was a deeply enriching experience that brought ancient Egyptian history to life in the best possible way. Everything was perfectly organized, from pickup to the entire tour flow. The moment we arrived at the pyramids, it felt surreal, and having such a knowledgeable and passionate guide made all the difference. We learned so many fascinating details about the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and the surrounding area that we would have completely missed without expert guidance. What made the experience truly special was the way the Forever Egypt Tours team balanced education, storytelling, and comfort. The guide was patient, friendly, and always ready to answer questions, making the whole experience engaging for both adults and children. We never felt rushed, and every stop was well-timed and thoughtfully planned. The visit to the panoramic viewpoint and close-up exploration of the pyramids were unforgettable highlights, offering incredible photo opportunities and moments we will always remember. The transportation was comfortable, clean, and punctual, which made the whole day smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Forever Egypt Tours for anyone wanting to experience the Pyramids of Giza in the best possible way. Their professionalism, knowledge, and hospitality truly set them apart and made this one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt.

We have used Forever Egypt Tours 3 or 4 different times during our trips to Egypt, and honestly every single experience has been exceptional. We even visited the Giza Pyramids with them more than once because we trusted their team so much and always had an incredible time. Waleed and the entire Forever Egypt Tours team are truly outstanding. From the moment the tour starts, everything feels organized, professional, comfortable, and fun. The guides are not only extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, but they also know how to make the day enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable. Every guide we had was friendly, patient, and passionate about what they do. The transportation was always spotless, modern, and comfortable, and the drivers deserve special recognition as well. They were professional, safe, punctual, and honestly some of the most fun people we met in Egypt. Long drives never felt boring because the whole atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. What really makes Forever Egypt Tours stand out is consistency. Sometimes a company can provide one good experience, but this team delivered excellence every single time we booked with them. After several tours together, they honestly started to feel more like friends than just guides. If you are visiting Egypt and want stress-free planning, amazing hospitality, trustworthy people, and unforgettable memories, I cannot recommend Forever Egypt Tours enough. We will absolutely continue using them every time we return to Egypt.

This tour was everything we hoped it would be. Our private guide Mina customized our day so that we got to see all of the major sites in the ancient area of Saqquara without rushing us and giving us ample time for photos and even an excellent lunch. We started our day at the ancient Saqquara archeological site where Mina gave us a briefing on the history of the site as it pertains to the overall Pharoanic history of Egypt. He then led us on a private tour of the Step Pyramid, including its underground rock-cut tomb, plus several other tombs in the area that were even more spectacular than the pyramid itself. Following that we headed for the site I most wanted to see--the Serepeum where the Old Dynasty Egyptians entombed their sacred bulls. It is truly amazing to see the 100 ton sarcophoguses in this huge underground mausoleum, and it is seldom on most commercially available tours. After that, it was on to Memphis where Mina gave us an overview of the world's largest statue of Ramses II, plus many other ancient wonders of this city. After this tour, at our request, Mina arranged a lavish Egyptian lunch (at a very reasonable charge) at a beautiful restaurant en route. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. We are both older gentlemen with some mobility issues, and Mina was very careful in making sure we understood the limitations of the tight spaces the tombs challenged us with. (This is a limitation of the tour as some passageways are only about four feet tall and require much bending over and care to avoid the rock ceiling. I would definitely request Mina and his driver for this tour. Mina is a trained Egyptologist, and he offered many insights that a lesser guide could not have known.
Dear Tome, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review 😊 We are truly delighted to hear that your day exploring Saqqara, Memphis, and the surrounding ancient sites was everything you had hoped for. It’s especially rewarding to know that Mina was able to customize the experience to suit your interests while ensuring a comfortable pace throughout the day. Saqqara is indeed a fascinating area, and we’re glad you enjoyed not only the Step Pyramid but also the tombs and the Serapeum—one of Egypt’s true hidden gems. Your appreciation of these unique sites means a lot to us. We also greatly appreciate you highlighting Mina’s knowledge and attentiveness, especially in accommodating mobility considerations. Providing a safe, enjoyable, and insightful experience for all our guests is always our top priority. It was our pleasure to arrange your day, including the lunch stop, and we’re so happy it was the perfect ending to your experience. We truly hope to welcome you again in Egypt for more unforgettable journeys. Warm regards, Waleed Forever Egypt Tours

I repeated with this company because I liked another tour with them. Mohamed was born in front of those pyramids and is a very skilled guide. You can tell that he enjoys his work and likes to share his knowledge, as well as being a lovely person. I had seen the pyramids with another guide years ago and I don’t remember learning as many things as this time. Like the first tour we had a great driver. It is very easy to communicate with them and they facilitate everything for you to enjoy the experience. If I went back to Egypt, I would definitely hire them for future visits.
Muchísimas gracias por volver a confiar en nosotros y por compartir una opinión tan positiva. Nos alegra enormemente saber que esta visita a las Pirámides de Guiza fue una experiencia memorable y que el acompañamiento de Mohamed le permitió descubrir tantos detalles nuevos. Agradecemos especialmente sus palabras sobre su profesionalidad, pasión por su trabajo y la calidad del servicio del conductor. También nos complace saber que la comunicación y la organización hicieron su experiencia aún más agradable. Ha sido un verdadero placer atenderla nuevamente. Será siempre bienvenida y estaremos encantados de acompañarla en futuras visitas a Egipto. Un cordial saludo, Waleed Forever Egypt tours
We had an outstanding experience with Forget Egypt Tours, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first contact, everything was handled professionally, smoothly, and with genuine care. Our guide and tour operator, Waleed, was truly exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable, well-organized, and passionate about Egypt’s history and culture. What really set him apart was his ability to tailor the day to our interests while keeping everything relaxed and perfectly timed. We never felt rushed, yet we managed to see and understand so much. Waleed’s explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, bringing ancient Egypt to life in a way that books and documentaries never could. He was also incredibly attentive, making sure we were comfortable at all times and handling every detail effortlessly. The entire tour felt private, personal, and thoughtfully designed rather than like a standard tourist itinerary. Transportation was comfortable, logistics were seamless, and communication throughout was excellent. If you are visiting Egypt and want a stress-free, high-quality, and truly memorable experience, Forget Egypt Tours is the company to choose—and Waleed is the guide you want by your side. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt, and we would absolutely book with them again without hesitation.
