Mixed Experience

The pyramids, sphinx and other historical landmarks were amazing to see. The tour guide was somewhat intermittent, one minute she was there and the next she was moving or parking her vehicle. I found her attitude a little challenging regarding certain things but she was great at taking photos. I probably would use a different tour guide in future simply to get a better experience.

Fabulous Giza Pyramids, Sphinx & GEM tour.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our tour guided by the wonderful professional Marco Naguib and charming driver Mohammed Ali. Marco’s a Professor of Egyptology and his passion for his country’s artifacts and culture is unmatched. His photography skills are brilliant too. We feel fortunate we had Marco guide us around the Giza Pyramids and GEM and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.

Fantastic Giza and Museum Tour with Ebrahim!

Ebrahim was an outstanding guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. His passion for Egypt’s heritage really stood out, and he made navigating each site smooth and stress-free. This passion was evident in how he brought the stories and mythology of the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum to life, with unique insights. Ebrahim also helped us get great photos and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend booking a tour with him!

Memories for a lifetime

I had the pleasure to experience Cairo for the first time with Nevin Morris as my guide. From the very beginning, she was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable not only in the history but she also knew everyone. It felt like a VIP tour. We got to experience a drive through old town, seeing and entering the pyramids, a temple, the sphinx, a perfume experience and a delighting lunch. We even got to feed the guarding dogs of the pyramids. She would take as many pictures as our hearts desires and always with a smile. Nothing was a problem with her and you could tell she loves her job, which made the experience even better! We felt protected from scammers and overpriced souvenirs by her. I only spent 24hrs on a short layover in Cairo and I left with memories for a lifetime! I look forward to visiting again soon and I don't doubt I would be booking a tour again with Nevin! I highly recommend her! Thank you for everything!

Full pyramid tour including food and tickets

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the punctuality of the driver and Hani. The tour was very well organized and insightful. We first visited the pyramids of Giza including the grave (tickets on site extra about 30 €) of the pyramid. We were on a camel ride with wonderful photos taken by Hani and the locals. Hani also had great photo ideas for the Sphinx. Meanwhile, he advised us on the souvenirs from where to buy them and helped us negotiate the price with the locals. The food was also very delicious and there were falafel and cola as well as water. Finally, we were in the ancient Egyptian Museum of Cairo and there we were extensively educated about Egyptian history. We arrived at the hotel about 15:40, which used the time frame to its full extent. Other tourist tips for the following days were also included as well as advice on how to deal with the locals. All in all, I would recommend this tour to any German speaker. Hani understands and respects the German mentality for which I highly appreciate Him. Water was also enough there. Another very positive aspect was the regular demand during the tour whether everything fits and which destinations we want to visit longer or shorter. PS: Give the local men and women a tip at the good service. Germany could look a bit further in this regard when it comes to service!
