Incredible Experience

This experience exceeded my expectations and will be one of the greatest highlights of my life. My private tour guides name was Nader and was very knowledgeable and well articulate. He also brought a high performance camera and took amazing photos and showed us the best locations for posing. If you are doing this tour, definitely choose the option with a camel ride - you won’t regret it.

An Unforgettable Day at the Pyramids with Mostafa!

​Our trip to the Pyramids was absolutely seamless, and we owe that entirely to our fantastic guide, Mostafa. ​From the very beginning, communication was top-notch. Mostafa messaged us ahead of time to coordinate the pickup, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect. He arrived right on time with a driver in a clean, modern, and very comfortable car, which was a huge relief in the busy Cairo traffic. ​Mostafa is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much history that we never would have discovered on our own. He made the entire day feel smooth and well-paced. He handled all the logistics, for the camel ride at the pyramids making sure we had a great experience. We visited a perfume oil shop and a papyrus shop on the way to lunch. There was no pressure to buy, but we ended up finding some beautiful pieces and had a bit of fun bargaining for them! Lunch was included at a lovely restaurant. We ate on the rooftop, which offered an unobstructed, breathtaking view of the Pyramids. The food was delicious, but the backdrop was truly world-class.​ Mostafa is a professional and expert guide. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt!

Private guide is best. Avoid the groups

Menna is a great guide. She knows here history well and explains everything. Get a private tour, it's worth it. Nothing like being shown around and having the place to yourself. You get better insight on how best to visit the pyramids. Just book the tour. The spice shop at the end is optional and no pressure to buy anything, but a great experience. It's neat to be shown all the spices. I would recommend it.

Excellent tour, highly recommended

This is a must do tour. Extremely knowledgeable and personable guide. Went inside the great pyramid, a must do. Overall a great experience. Go early seems like “the early bird catches the worm”.
