Hands down the best guide and driver!
I just finished this tour today while on my layover. Miro who was the guide, and we had the amazing driver Amr. Both of them were absolutely amazing! I had a layover of about 16 hrs and they managed to pick me up from the airport, and then drop me back off right on time. We also managed to do everything that was mentioned in this tour. Miro and Amr go at your pace, so if you want to spend more time, just ask, and if you want to throw something else into the itinerary, just ask! Today they took me to have some famous Koshari and it was absolutely amazing! Also, Miro is a great photographer! He takes the best photos! His energy was unmatched and you'll love just being in his presence! Highly recommend both Miro and Amr any day!

Pyramids and an incredible Museum
Mimo was our guide and Peter was our driver. Both were incredibly friendly. The tour was well organized and ran on a nice schedule. Mimo is an Egyptologist. He was incredibly informative and enthusiastic. We learned a ton. The camel ride was a nice touch. Lunch was at a great rooftop place with a nice view of the Pyramids. The archaeological museum was incredible. The tour saved King Tut’s treasure for last, but honestly the whole place was incredible.
Driving in Cairo is hectic to say the least, but Peter was excellent!
Highly recommend!

Great Tour of Giza
My adult daughter and I were in Cairo for a short time and had one day for sightseeing. We were picked up by our driver at our hotel in the New Cairo area. We had to pay $40 extra because of the distance. Our excellent guide Mahmoud Hoka took us to the pyramids, camel ride and Sphinx. He was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history, for which he clearly has a love for. The entrance fees and camel ride were included in the price, but we chose to pay extra to enter the Pyramid of Khufu. The experience of going inside is interesting, but be warned that the passage is steep and narrow in places with traffic going in both directions. It gets a bit hot at well even though the weather was pleasant at the time (60 F). We didn’t have much of a problem with vendors harassing us - we either ignored them or Mahmoud kept them away. Even though it was a weekend in the high season, it was crowded but not so crowded as I expected. After the necropolis we visited a couple of government shops and then had a very nice lunch at the top of a hotel overlooking the pyramids. Be warned that bathrooms in Cairo often do not have soap or toilet paper. We were supposed to go the Egyptian museum after that, but my daughter had an important event the next day and was getting tired. We cut our tour short and our driver returned us to the hotel. Overall it was a very good tour. I highly recommend it and Mahmoud.

Exceptional in every way! ⭐️
I just don't know how our trip with tour guide Mimo and driver Adel could have been any better! We were on a short layover from Toronto to Rwanda and thought we would make the most of our day here. We were picked up at the airport and were at the pyramids almost immediately. It was absolutely mind blowing! Mimo got us there early before the crowds and knew all the spots to take the best pics! He was so incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so many options on how the days itinerary could be arranged. How we fit everything into 8 hours, I will never know, but at no time did we feel rushed or that we missed anything! Our driver Adel also deserves big recognition for navigating the chaotic Cairo traffic and staying with all our valuables in the car so we didn't have to drag everything with us at each stop. Lunch also was incredible! Too many things to mention, but we would highly recommend this to anyone! It was absolutely exceptional in every way!

Shadow of the Great Pyramids
Riding the camels on the Western Desert plateau overlooking the Great pyramids of Egypt was profoundly moving. The stirring of civilizations' beginning hung in the air. Here we humbly walked in the shadow of Pharoahs, Queens, and servants, the place of the Great Pyramids, where Kings and Dynasties rose and fell. I waited 60 years to tread this path and touch the ancient stones. It is awe inspiring.
Our tour guide was exceptional. Her ability to keep us informed of customs, rules, regulations, and to provide context and knowledge to the artifacts and historical sites made for a wonderful experience.
To add, our guide was flexible to our needs and desires which we appreciated very much. Not once did we feel pressure to make a purchase or rushed to complete a transaction or finish a meal.
We would highly recommend.

Guia Manal é fantástica !
Nossa guia foi a Manal.
Eu não tenho palavras pra descrever o quão gentil, simpática, conhecedora da história e do local foi esta guia.
Ela é egípcia, mas possui um português excepcional!
Realizei um tour completo pelas pirâmides, bazar e museu. Ela orientou toda a visita e sempre deixando muito a vontade para que escolhêssemos o que faríamos ou não.
Optei por não andar nos camelos e ela prontamente deu opções de apenas tirássemos fotos próximas se assim quiséssemos.
Eu recomendaria esta guia mil vezes sem pensar duas vezes. Se voltasse ao Egito com toda certeza iria contratar este serviço novamente.

Fantastic experience...
Fantastic experience really well paced. No pressure throughout the day, driven to each site with great advice and information about everything we saw. My mum and I were the only 2 on the tour so felt very exclusive and vip, we went to each site at our own pace sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but our guide waited with patience each time! Well worth it!

Worth the time
A stunning experience exploring the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum. The guide was knowledgeable, though navigating the crowded sites was challenging, and the tour felt a bit rushed at times.

Amazing Tour with Rania and Mahmoud!
This tour is worth every penny! Rania, our tour guide, and Mahmoud, our driver, were both wonderful. Rania was able to provide so much detailed explanation for everything we saw, it made it so much more meaningful. She answered any question we had. She is very thoughtful, and goes at your pace for the tour. She also helped us buy quality souvenirs. Lunch was also delicious with a beautiful view.
Mahmoud is a talented driver- we felt very safe with him.
I would definitely go on this tour again. Ask for them by name! She also said she does tours in other cities in Egypt. When I come back to Egypt I am calling her! So sweet, you will have a wonderful day.
