Excellent
Our excursion was a very nice experience, which we definitely recommend, largely thanks to our exceptional guide, Heny Mubarak. He was smiling from start to finish, very professional, patient and always attentive. He was able to adapt to our level of English by taking the time to explain well, not hesitating to alternate with Arabic when necessary. At no time did he put pressure on us for anything, and most importantly, he never referred to any bakchich throughout the day, which is very appreciable considering everything we had read or heard before.
From the beginning, our guide made it clear that the camel ride was scheduled for 15 minutes, and that it was possible to extend by adding an extra charge if we wanted. This important information is not clearly indicated in the description and deserves to be. On the spot, the owner actually offered us to add another 15 minutes. After negotiation, we reached an agreement and everything went very well.
Little tip: after 30 minutes of walking, we started to feel pain in the adductors 😅, so don’t hesitate to stretch well before, because it’s really not that simple!
We then visited the pyramids, which are absolutely impressive, especially seen from the outside. The interior remains quite simple and it is very hot. Then we discovered the Sphinx, which is also very impressive to see in real life.
We then went through the Papyrus Museum, which our guide suggested to us, making it clear that it was not mandatory. As we were interested, we accepted and we do not regret, it was very interesting. Just below, we also made a stop at a small perfumery. Again, no pressure from the sellers, which is very nice.
The day ended with an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, rather good and pleasant.
We also thank driver Mohamed, who was very professional throughout the day.
In the end, we fully validate this excursion: a very good balance between discovery, culture and moments of adventure. A huge thank you to our guide Heny Mubarak that we recommend 100%!

Best tour guide ever!
Amazing experience!
Seing the pyramids is one thing but adding a truly knowledgeable tour guide makes everything makes sense.
Moses studied years and has a lot to offer to tourists like us. He knows the right angles for picture taking and very patient as well. He really worked hard to please us. Bless his heart.

STOP READING AND BOOK NOW (DO IT DO IT DO IT)
BRO WHY ARE YOU READING THIS
BOOK IT ALREADY
One of the best tours I have ever had the pleasure of taking.
If you’re new to Egypt and have no idea what to do or how to find a reliable guide —especially for the pyramids—BOOK THIS. It is worth every penny.
Being from London and a uni student, I had no clude what to do, especially after hearing about scams. But Moses (our guide) made it an unforgettable experience. He was incredibly patient, funny, and welcoming. We stopped every few minutes to take photos (we love our pictures!), and he never rushed us—in fact, he even took some amazing ones for us (great cameraman too, might I add).
He also explained the history behind everything we saw, which made the whole experience so much more meaningful. Now every picture I took has a story behind it.
We chose the all-inclusive package, which included pickup and drop-off, a full guided tour of the pyramids, entry inside two pyramids (Menkaure and Hetepheres), seeing all the major sites, a camel ride, and a buffet with some of the most delicious Egyptian food.
My only advice? BOOK IT. BOOK IT NOW. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? IT’S OUTSTANDING.
Also bring plenty of cash for tips (EGP or USD both work). Trust me they really LIKE their tips over here :)
Now stop reading and BOOK

Best Tour and Best Guide Osama!
This tour was AMAZING! We only had 3 full days in Cairo and this tour covered a lot for us. We booked the all inclusive package, so the admission fees to every place was included. Osama was our guide. I was very nervous, not knowing if we would get a good guide or a bad guide, but thankfully he turned out to better than what I hoped for. He was very knowledgeable, patient, fun, funny and thorough. He allowed us to take our time exploring and learning. The tour was perfect.
We started at 7am to view the sphinx & Pyramids before the crowds arrived and before it got too hot outside. I am still in awe of the pyramids and all the history I learned during the tour. I definitely left with a deeper understanding and also left questioning many things I've been taught as a kid up into an adult. We got to go inside one of the pyramids as well. The restaurant for lunch was very nice and the food was super delicious. This tour did not disappoint. Our guide took so many beautiful photos of us!!! I 1000% recommend you book this Tour and request Osama is possible.

Osame is the Best
Our experience with Osame as our tour guide in Cairo was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. My wife and I have travelled to many countries and taken countless tours, but this one truly stood out thanks to his warmth, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. From the moment he welcomed us, we could tell we were in caring and capable hands.
Osame curated a full, seamless tour that covered both the iconic landmarks and hidden local gems of Cairo. He didn’t just take us from site to site he brought each place to life with fascinating stories, historical facts, and local insights that only a passionate and knowledgeable guide could share. Every stop felt thoughtfully planned, and every moment was enriched by his ability to explain Egypt’s culture and history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand.
What impressed us most was his dedication and respect. He constantly made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves. Whether it was adjusting the pace during the hotter parts of the day, helping us find the best photo spots, or recommending authentic local restaurants, Osame went above and beyond to make the experience feel personal and unforgettable.
His communication before and during the tour was excellent professional, punctual, and always friendly. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm for sharing his country’s beauty is contagious. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed; everything flowed effortlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of each place.
By the end of the trip, it didn’t feel like we had just hired a guide it felt like we’d gained a new friend in Egypt. We left Cairo with amazing memories, a deeper appreciation of its history, and immense gratitude for the way he took care of us.
If you’re visiting Cairo, don’t hesitate to book Osame. You will not only see the best of Egypt, but you’ll experience it in a truly meaningful way. We cannot recommend him highly enough thank you, Osame, for making our trip so special.

Best experience in Cairo
Our guide was Mohammed Elshemei. The transport was super relaxed and in a brandnew car. He took perfect care of us and arranged everything. His english is very good and we got so much great information on the Pyramids and Egyptian culture and history in general. He showed us the best spots and took super for Instagram photos. We come back.

We had an incredible day with Kryllos as our expert guide! Kryllos and our direct moved us seamlessly from site to site and made it the BEST experience! My husband arrived to Cairo on crutches and required extra assistance, and they were spectacular in offering any help we needed. HIGHLY recommend!!!!
