The Perfect Way to See Cairo’s Highlights

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum with Nevin. As we only had limited time in Cairo, it was the perfect way to see all the key sights without feeling rushed. Nevin’s extensive local network and experience made the whole day completely hassle-free. She knew exactly which entrances to use and the best times to visit each site, helping us avoid the crowds and skip queues wherever possible. It made such a difference to the experience. She was warm, entertaining and easy to spend the day with, and gave us a real flavour of local life in Cairo. A real highlight was introducing us to the tastiest falafel and foul medames we’ve ever had. If you’re visiting Cairo and want a guide who is knowledgeable, well connected, organised and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, we couldn’t recommend Nevin more highly. She made what could have been an overwhelming day completely seamless, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

A fantastic day out at the pyramids and GEM

We enjoyed a very memorable day out at the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Niven is a very knowledgable guide; she knows all the best photo spots, all the best camel rides and everything there is to know about the history of these fantastic places. Most of all, she has a lovely knack of helping us just enjoy the experience. My daughter and I were collected at our hotel around 8:30am, as part of a small group of 5 for the day. We drove directly to the pyramids, then camel rides, sphinx and onto the GEM. She dealt with all the entrance fees and tickets, including lunch at a local perfumery. She apparently knows everybody, and we felt in very safe hands. Cairo is a big bustling city but because of her it was not at all intimidating. I loved how she explained some of the archeology as we were walking round the pyramid complex, then tied it into what we saw in the GEM. The museum is remarkable - my favourite exhibits were the Nile river boats and, of course, the Tutankhamun exhibition. If you only do one thing in Cairo - this is the thing to do. It was a full day, and the break in the middle for some lunch was v welcome. We returned to the hotel around 5pm. This is the 3rd time I’ve booked a tour with Niven and I’m already looking forward to next time I’m in Cairo. She’s very responsive to WhatsApp enquiries and I thoroughly recommend her.

Great solo tour

Nevin was a wonderful tour guide. Had a fabulous time with her, and would recommend her for anyone looking to do a tour in Cairo

Perfect Pyramid Tour

We had the most amazing time on the tour with Hassan Ghanem as our guide. He was so knowledgable and shared fascinating history with us as well as navigated around the sites with ease! We had a perfect length of time in each location with plenty of breaks when we needed it. Hassan was also kind enough to arrange for the provided lunch to be gluten free for my allergy, he was so diligent and respectful. I would recommend this tour to anymore and could not have asked for a nicer guide for our day.

Cannot recommend enough 10 stars

If you don’t have Nevin Morris, as your tour guide I feel like you may miss something. She was on top of everything from the vip treatment getting picked up in her personal car from the hotel, to the exclusive parking privileges at the pyramids and much more. We were stopped by guards to let us know that she was the best tour guide ever. But besides all that very great tour. She is very knowledgeable on everything that we went too. The pyramids were always on my bucket list since 3rd grade and I’m so happy to have gone with my brother and have Nevin Morris as our guide. Highly recommended. Pro tip bring chocolate 🍫 and or little bottles of alcohol from the plane. They will go very far also bring some small usd currency for small gestersnto some of the places you go to

Brilliant hassle free morning out!

I had a wonderful few hours out with Nevin visiting the pyramids. I was picked up at 0730 and we avoided all the traffic and the crowds. It was like having the pyramids all to ourselves! I only wanted a few hours and wish I had more time to explore Cairo. Next time! Nevin was a pleasure to spend the morning with. A very warm and friendly guide who is very clearly popular with all the people who work at the pyramids. I wouldn’t have wanted to have negotiated all the “extras” that is required for all the people that work at the pyramids. It was nice not to be concerned with all of that and not to be hassled. Highly recommend Nevin!

Pyramids of Giza

We had an absolutely fantastic day visiting the Pyramids of Giza with Ms. Nevin Morris. From the moment she picked us up until she dropped us back, everything was perfectly organised and stress-free. Nevin’s knowledge of the pyramids, their history, and the surrounding sites was exceptional, bringing the entire experience to life. She was friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. One thing that really stood out was her ability to negotiate excellent prices with the local vendors and workers, ensuring we got the best value without any hassle. She truly knows the area inside and out and she takes the most amazing photos just like looking at a postcard. Lunch was delicious, and the highlight was the most amazing fresh-squeezed mango juice we’ve ever tasted! If you’re planning a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, I cannot recommend Ms. Nevin Morris highly enough. She turned a great trip into an unforgettable experience. Five stars all the way!

Great Guided Tour to the Pyramids and Grand Museum

We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend this tour. Our driver, Abdul, was extremely professional throughout the whole day. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable, and we always felt completely safe with his driving. Our guide, Marco, was exceptional. He clearly knows the best places to see the pyramids and the perfect spots for taking amazing photos. He is also a great photographer himself, with excellent ideas for capturing the right moments in the right locations. During our visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, it was also very clear that Marco has a vast knowledge of Egyptology. His explanations made the experience much richer and more meaningful. Overall, a fantastic experience with a great guide and driver.
