Exceptional Tour Guide – Alaa Elshafei is a Must-Know for Egypt Tourism!
Alaa Elshafei… remember the name! If you’re visiting Egypt, he is the tour guide you want. At just 26 years old, Alaa is incredibly knowledgeable and never leaves a question unanswered. He has a clear vision for Egypt tourism, and it shows in every moment of the tour.
During our time with him, we learned so much about Egyptian history. His explanations at the Great Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) were simply incredible. He made complex history engaging and easy to understand.
I am looking forward to working with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone traveling to Egypt.
Remember the name Alaa — which means “excellence.” He truly lives up to it. He is excellent at his job, professional, and knows exactly what he’s doing. Thank you, Alaa, for all your hard work. You made our tour seamless, unforgettable, and truly enjoyable. We wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.
All the best

Best Tour Guide
It was the best decision to book a guided tour. Within just 10 minutes of meeting Mohamed, we had already learned so much — and we hadn’t even reached the main sites yet. He’s truly exceptional at what he does, and the fact that he speaks Arabic, English, French, and Korean makes it even more impressive.
Visiting the iconic pyramids without a guide would honestly be a mistake. Every tourist should book one to fully appreciate the experience. They were right on time picking us up, never rushed us, and made sure we could enjoy the tour at our own pace. Mohamed took amazing photos for us and even pre-booked our lunch so we wouldn’t have to wait after a long day. He was incredibly honest and gave us helpful tips on how to deal with persistent sellers at the sites.
Highly recommend them to anyone visiting Egypt! And a special shoutout to Sayed, our driver, who was so polite and patiently waited for us throughout the day.

Highlight of our entire tour!
Our experience was unforgettable because of our tour guide, Mohamed Reda. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and he made the place come alive for us. Our driver, Sayed, was just as amazing—very helpful and kind. Mohamed made this tour the highlight of our entire trip, and we’re truly grateful for him.

Rondleiding door het plateau van Gizeh
Ik heb echt genoten van de reis met Mr. Yamani. Heb diepe en correcte kennis van de Egyptische geschiedenis. Zijn begeleiding maakte mijn reis vol geheugen.

Giza pyramids day trip
It was amazing:) everything was superb, the view, the pyramids, the camel ride. Our guide Mimo was great, allowed our own pace while visiting sides, took cool picks for us too. While we were queuing for some atractions he was explaining history for us and sharing interesting facts about the place which made the waiting time somehow shorter. Our driver Mohammad was very good and we felt safe and well looked after. Highly recommended trip. Plus great organisation, hassle free, and brilliant communication with our guide Mimo.

A Perfect Family Day at the Pyramids
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible Day at the Pyramids Thanks to Ramdy!
We had the most fantastic experience exploring the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and doing camel rides — and it was all made exceptional because of our guide, Ramdy.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history and context in a way that was engaging for both adults and our young kids. Beyond his deep knowledge, he was completely open to any and all questions we asked — and we asked a lot! He never rushed us and answered everything thoughtfully and thoroughly. He even mentioned he speaks 13–14 languages, which was impressive in itself, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys connecting with people from all over the world.
What stood out most was how well he looked after our family. He was proactive in communicating throughout the day, clearly explained what to expect, and gave us a heads-up about common situations where people might ask for money or attempt small scams. Because of that, we never once felt uncomfortable or unsure — we felt completely safe with him guiding us.
He was also fantastic about helping us get great photos and would politely (but confidently) speak up if other groups stepped in the way. Always friendly, never confrontational — just professional and looking out for us.
We absolutely loved that it was a small, private experience just for our family. It made the day relaxed, personal, and incredibly special.
Nothing negative to say at all — this was truly a highlight of our trip. If you’re visiting the pyramids, ask for Ramdy. You won’t regret it!

Good experience
We went on this tour with Asma. She took us to all the parts of the complex we had tickets to. We bought tickets in advance online. We got a little lost looking for one of the smaller tombs. A little more detail about the tombs would have been nice to hear about. All in all a good way to be guided around the pyramids.
