Had an amazing time with our tour guide Esraa. She was so kind, hospitable and knowledgeable that she made our experience so much fun and so comfortable. She was prompt picking us up and communicative before pick up. Esraa was a real treat to have as a tour guide. The pyramids and sphinx are worth going to and the tour was fantastic! Would recommend the tour and Esraa!

My partner and I had a fabulous private tour to the Pyramids of Giza with our tour guide Basma. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we booked a second tour to Saccara and Memphis the next day. Basma was very friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She was also an excellent photographer and knew all the best angles! The tour was very flexible with our start and end times and gave us lots of options with our itinerary. The cars were very comfortable with air conditioning and choice of music, our drivers were very courteous. We would highly recommend tours with GEM Explore Egypt and our tour guide Basma.

Had a brilliant day with Farha. She was super knowledgeable, friendly and made our experience the best it could be. We weren't sure whether or not to book a guide, but we are so glad we did. We learnt so much from Farha and she knew all the best spots for great photos. Thank You so much Louise and Andy

I had a great day exploring the Giza Pyramids, all thanks to Toka,not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the history and secrets of the plateau, but she is also one of the kindest people I’ve met in Egypt. She made the entire experience feel easy, safe, and deeply personal. It felt like walking through history with a friend rather than a tour guide.(she takes great photos too!) I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a wonderful day! Our guide, Esraa, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and she made the experience both engaging and very informative. Her enthusiasm for history truly shone through and brought everything to life. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch, and our driver made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. I would highly recommend this trip — a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience.

Ahmad was our tour guide of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and I'm really glad he was! You can really tell he loves his job and has real passion for what he does. From the moment we arrived at the site of the pyramids, he helped make our visit to the site incredibly memorable, providing fascinating insights into the monuments and their history. Visiting the pyramids is already amazing; going with a good guide brings it to life even more. Ahmad was really eager to make sure we got lots of good pictures and he was a great photographer! He also took us to the tomb of Meresankh III, which I really wanted to make sure we saw while there - it's beautiful and completely worth the slight detour to go. Finally, he was very happy to drop us off at the GEM after the tour and even arranged a transfer back to our hotel from there afterwards. Really great service!

Our guide Menna was superb with us this morning. She listened to our needs and desires, and explained everything in a clear and detailed way. Thanks to her, the visit to the pyramids was even more rewarding and exciting. She is professional, cultivated and very pleasant. We recommend Menna and this activity with your eyes closed!

Our guide Mostafa was knowledgable and showed us the pyramids well. He was a very nice man but I have to give a 1 star because of the scams he runs with the other vendors on the tour. At the pyramids, we were severely overcharged on the horse carriage/camel ride (£20 GBP PER PERSON) which he said was necessary to do and pressured us when unsure. He also takes you to a papyrus and perfume place that highly scams you charging you 10x the market price because he gets a cut for bringing his guide people there. As a guide, you think you can trust him to take you to reputable places and help with locals but that is sadly not the case. Was very disappointed in this.
