It was a spectacular private tour our guide Fatima was in contact with us at all times the day before the tour, at 8 o'clock she was waiting for us at the door of the hotel with a new car, we went to Giza and rode a camel, we saw the Sphinx, explained everything very well with a fantastic Spanish, with plenty of time to take photos, she worried at all times about us, then we went to Saqqara passing a carpet factory, then Memphis and finally she took us to eat at a restaurant near the free buffet pyramids, a good idea if you want a good guide in Cairo.

Mego Tours offered us a full day tour with a private driver and private guide. I even thought it was a group tour but finally this tour was excellent and prive for us as couple. Ahmed was our amazing guide who was on time waiting for us at the reception. He was very knowledgeable and shared the history and insights of the pyramids, Sphinx, etc. He went above and beyond by bringing us to additional places like the papyrus where we got great discount, bought Egyptian fruits I wanted to eat, etc. He is a great photographer and took great photos of us. He recommended what add ons that makes sense and we did the camel ride and enter the step pyramids. What a lovely and amazing day we spent touring with Ahmed. We extremely highly recommend Mego Tours and I would suggest asking to have Ahmed as your guide.

The tour was exceptional. Mr. Ahmed was our tour guide. He told us a lot about the historical sites he was very polite very knowledgeable friendly good with kids and was very patient. It was as if you are visiting a friends country and seeing it with from their perspective. The tour guides make your day if you have a right one and when you are on a holiday that's the only thing you want. And best part he knew how and where to take the perfect pictures. Highly recommended. Definitely go for it. Thank you Mr. Ahmed.

We had a beautiful day trip to the Pyramids and Sphinx in Gizeh and to the Saqqara Step Pyramid as well as Memphis. Our guide Amira was lovely and super helpful in guiding us and organizing everything! She had all the information on old Egypt and answered every question. Our driver Abdul had a comfortable air conditioned car and drove very safely. We got picked up at our hotel in the morning and returned in the afternoon. All in all a very nice experience!

We have been wonderful, an excellent experience with Amira, she knows how to do her job very well, very professional. Always with a smile and very watchful of us. We were used to having a guide through the cruise area south with large groups and it has nothing to do with it. Highly recommended and cheaper.

They booked the night before and came at 8:00 in the morning! The driver and guide accompanied me. I booked a guide in English, but the guide happened to speak Japanese too, and was able to guide in Japanese! He was a very kind man and took many photos, including kissing many Sphinxes and jumping photos in front of the pyramids. It was very quick, you could just drive to your destination, the destination was perfect and the guide was perfect. They bought water, juice and sweets along the way, which made for a comfortable sightseeing experience. Thank you 😊

Ahmed was fantastic guide! The process was very smooth, places we visited were all interesting and the tour was very flexible which I liked. He created a great atmosphere for the team and was very passionate about history and also sharing it with the visitors. His explanations were quick and on point, so not too long that some of us start to dose off XD Highly recommend going with him for a tour!!
