Menna is the best tour guide in Egypt

Menna was honestly one of the best — if not the best — tour guides you could ask for in Cairo! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish: personable, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. She brought the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx to life with fascinating history and stories, while keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. It never felt like she was just reciting facts — she knew how to explain things in a way that made you want to keep learning and asking questions. Beyond her knowledge, Menna is simply a wonderful person to be around: warm, enthusiastic, funny, and attentive. She made the entire experience feel personal rather than like a standard organized tour. If you’re considering this tour, ask for Menna. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Half Day tour to the Pyramids

We had an amazing tour with Aya. She was very knowledgable on Egyptian ancient history and culture. She was also very kind and catered her tour for our children and looked out for them on the duration of the tour. We got to see the main sights in good proximity and traveled by bus with the complex, which was very easy. Aye took the time to take really great photos for us at each site. She also organised for the extra camel and horse cart ride which we didn’t think we would do, but was definetly worth it. The drive to and from our drop off point was very comfortable and drinks were offered. We were interested in getting personalised cartouche jewellery so on our way back she took us to a store where the staff were not pushy and charged a fair price. We even got to see how the jewellery was made. Tour was well worth it and very happy with our guide, Aye.

Polite and informative...

Polite and informative overall. The scenery should speak for itself but the guide made it even better.

Book with Basma as a guide for sure

Great experience with a knowledgeable guide. Very punctual. Basma tailored the tour around our wants. Mixed it up, avoided cues and took us to some memorable viewing spots. She made sure we were with a great camel leader. Would highly recommend

Amazing experience 😇

It was an amazing day. My tour guide was fantastic and I was blown away by the pyramids and the sphinx plus the papyrus museum was the cherry on top of a beautiful day out.

Great excursion to the Pyramids

Alone with the guide, fantastic, and the guide was great, I learned things about the construction of the pyramids that I did not know.

Must see Giza pyramids and camel ride!

Thank you Mohammed and Ali for taking care of us today. We had an amazing experience seeing all the pyramids of Giza. Mohammed was very knowledgeable and accommodating, while Ali our driver was such a gentleman always patiently waiting and opening the door for me. I couldn't ask for better guides than these guys. Thanks!
