Best tour guide for Giza Pyramids

We loved our previous tour with Ibrahim (Saqqara Pyramids, Memphis and Dahshur Pyramids) that we booked the tour of the Giza Pyramids & Great Sphynx with him too! We had another great day exploring the Giza Pyramids and really appreciated Ibrahim’s enthusiasm and knowledge! Would highly recommend this tour!

The best guide for Egypt: Kholoud

If you are traveling to Egypt and would like to visit, for example, the Great Pyramid of Giza, other pyramids, and the famous Sphinx — as well as the Grand Egyptian Museum — we highly recommend one outstanding guide: Kholoud Mohammed. Kholoud is a historian and a well-known expert in the history of Ancient Egypt, offering deep knowledge and engaging explanations that truly bring the past to life. But above all else, she is an exceptionally amiable person. Email: yourtravelguide07@gmail.com Mobile: +20 103 290 1111

Very good visit

Very good visit, experienced guide, no superfluous explanations, and a good sense of timing. Very nice to sneak into the middle of groups.

This was a great tour...

This was a great tour along the outside of the pyramids and sphinx with a short camel ride if you chose that option. Our guide Hasan was very knowledgeable and gave detailed explanations of the sites and took excellent pictures of us! The guide and driver were gracious enough to drop us at the GEM at the end of the tour instead of our nearby hotel. Highly recommend!

Efficiently Executed Egyptian Tour

Shaimaa was excellent. She was informative without dragging it on endlessly. We moved through all the must see elements with efficiency.

Retirement trip for parents

Great experience for my parent’s retirement trip. Perfect length of time for the highlights. Accommodating structure. Our tour guide, Mohamed Elshemei, was knowledgeable, helpful and well organized.

Thank you Ola for such an amazing tour!!

Returned home from spending a memorable time with Ola as a solo traveller. She made contact prior to my flight to confirm my pickup at the airport, which immediately put my mind at ease about flying into Cairo alone. She was so informative and attentive from the outset and I felt comfortable with her driver. Every moment of my experience was captured when she took my pictures. The camel guide she selected was also lovely and wanted to ensure I was comfortable and having a good time. After finishing the tour of the pyramids and the spinx, she took me to have a delicious meal with amazing views of the pyramids. Nothing was too much trouble for Ola and she really made my day such a memorable experience and so much fun. Ola is an absolute delight and I would highly recommend you request her as your guide. This really was the highlight of my week in Egypt. 🙏🏾
