- 475mostafan0 contributionsIt’s amazing tripIt’s amazing and i have make that again and visit more places in Egypt such as siwa and matrouh , elalmin , Alexandria i love Egypt so muchWritten 16 January 2025
- B5341LVandream0 contributionsAmazing Tour with Rania and Mahmoud!This tour is worth every penny! Rania, our tour guide, and Mahmoud, our driver, were both wonderful. Rania was able to provide so much detailed explanation for everything we saw, it made it so much more meaningful. She answered any question we had. She is very thoughtful, and goes at your pace for the tour. She also helped us buy quality souvenirs. Lunch was also delicious with a beautiful view. Mahmoud is a talented driver- we felt very safe with him. I would definitely go on this tour again. Ask for them by name! She also said she does tours in other cities in Egypt. When I come back to Egypt I am calling her! So sweet, you will have a wonderful day.Written 15 January 2025
- K2443MTclaudiam0 contributionsAMAZING TOUR!!! 100% Recommend!AMAZING tour guide and driver!! Mimo (Mahmoud) and Ibrahim were the absolute best! Mimo was very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind plus had a great sense of humor! He knew the best places in Cairo and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our tour - even at lunch he took time to explain each dish and ensured our camel ride was perfect! 100% would recommend!! Thank you Mahmoud!!! And thank you to your sweet driver Ibrahim who got us everywhere safely and quickly! We saw so much in one day! What an unforgettable start to our trip in Egypt!Written 12 January 2025
- J7878YYstephh0 contributions6/5 stars!!! Absolutely amazing tour!!Wow!! This tour really exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Mimo, was an incredible Egyptologist and he really helped us learn the understand the rich history of Giza and Cairo. Mimo was also very kind, attentive, and he took a ton of wonderful pictures that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had such a passionate tour guide for this experience. We could tell he truly loves and cares about what he does. Our driver, Ibrahim, was also amazing. He was careful and got us to each destination with ease. Thank you both for the best day in Egypt!Written 10 January 2025
- Ivo K0 contributionsThumbs up for the pyramids experience!Michael picked us up before time, knowing that it would be the best because the places we are going to visit were going to be busy that day. We enjoyed the pyramids and didn’t have to make any lines. His knowledge about the history of the country and about the museum is very good, he explained everything with passion and with patience. We also had a very nice lunch with the view of the pyramids. Really appreciate the way they took care of us. Thank you!Written 3 January 2025
- calebw6950 contributionsAmazing tour, highly recommendYour guide was very informative and was a great photographer. So glad we booked a tour, he showed us more of Cairo then we would have seen.Written 1 January 2025
- Brian Q0 contributionsA professional tour all the way!We had a wonderful experience with Mimo. He was a professional Egyptologist and crammed a ton of info into our day, but in a friendly and fun way. He knew exactly where to stop to take pictures at the pyramids and even suggested some fun poses (where to stand to “kiss the sphinx”). He gave us a lot of options on how to spend our day and where to extend or shorten it, depending in how we felt. We never had to wait for tickets and we never had to deal with any hassles or hustlers. Our driver Yasin was also great. He always had the car ready at the right time and spot - and despite lots of traffic, we never felt uncomfortable, neither rushed or delayed.Written 31 December 2024
- GoPlaces041801978250 contributionsWOW!!! What a trip! (Thanks to Mahmoud Hoka)Wow!! This tour was AMAZING!! My guide Mahmoud Hoka absolutely knocked it out of the park!! If you want to book a pyramid tour, this is your guy!! His knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture is impressive, he is very accommodating, takes EPIC pictures, and is flexible if you throw him a curve ball, and want to change things up mid tour. This guy is the real deal, and be assured if you book with him, you’re in good hands, and will have a memorable experience. Thanks Mahmoud!!Written 29 December 2024

- AnnaK169390 contributionsGreat Tour and GuideWhat a wonder day tour. Mahoud Hoka, was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of places visited ( pyramids, general area whilst traveling also and in the museum)He also took great pictures , which was a big help, as I was a solo traveller. I also had a lovely lunch on the rooftop restaurant with a view of the pyramids, which was rather cool. I would highly recommend this tour and the lovely guide Mahoud Hoka , thanks again for a beautiful first trip in Egypt.Written 23 December 2024
- Wenqian L0 contributionsVery disappointing day at the pyramidsVisiting the pyramids has been on our travel bucket list for quite a long time and we did research and trusted this company for great guided tours. But to our very disappointment, it was nothing like we expected. Our tour guide was also Michael. As mentioned in other reviews, we felt we were rushing into things and not listened to: - He didn’t allow us to stop by at the nice location to take closer pictures with the Sphnix and even lied to us by saying that was not allowed when we saw lots of other tourists were taking pictures there. - We only spend like 1h in the Pyramids area, including the camel riding and extra costs to go inside of the pyramids. I believe on the itinerary, it says 2h. - For the time we had extra, he took us to a perfume shop where we both felt was a tourist trap and they just forced you to buy stuff. - He also suggested to visit souvenir shops, papyrus shop, oil shop but we had to firmly decline and it was just awkward - We couldn’t get all the explanations at the museum as he was just interested in doing that for us. When we finished the tour, it was only 2:30pm, like 1h30 early than planned. - Again we felt like his only focus was on making money, both from the tips and our purchases from the shops. Overall, we felt it was a great pity on the day which was supposed to be amazing. We highly discourage people getting this tour, at least not with Michael…Written 21 December 2024
- julianl8400 contributionsTruly a memorable and magical experienceTruly a memorable and magical experience. Our driver Ibrahim and guide Mimo took great care of us and made us feel comfortable right away. Mimo is very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour and adventure. He has a great way of presenting information in an interesting and engaging way. And as a huge bonus - he is an amazing photographer! Highly recommended!Written 18 December 2024
- Kentuckytrav0 contributionsDay trip Pyramid from CairoWe had an amazing day with our very knowledgeable and professional guide Elham! We were able to see the Giza plateau, Sakkara, and Dahshur. Our tour organizer Zeinab kept us updated on the transport and was very professional. Highly recommend!Written 16 December 2024
- Companion331900238690 contributionsGiza experience!We had Eman as our tour guide, the day started with a lot of fog ( happens during winter time) and Eman was still able to take some amazing photos for us. She is knowledgeable and we felt we had a good balance of having a guide and also having time to ourselves. The only difference from the itinerary was our lunch. Itinerary said lunch with view over the pyramids but we had it somewhere else with mixed grill. We didn’t mind as our hotel looks over the pyramid anyway. Could be because we goose mixed grill place instead of the other one. So if you want to have lunch with pyramids view, maybe check with the guide first/ overall we felt safe, no one bothered us while we were with Eman and had a great experience. ☺️ We loved Sakkara, was much more quiet than Giza and it was a beautiful site! A must visit!Written 14 December 2024

Our meeting was very funny – I told him I’m Turgay (sounds similar like Tour guide) and he told I’m the Tour guide -so we all had to lough on the beginning. He was friendly and had a great sense of humor. We laughed a lot during the whole time. Immediately after entering the car, we started talking and he gave us interesting and important information about Cairo. He had the answer to every question and knows a lot about Egyptian history and the sights in Cairo. We started our journey to the pyramids. The camel ride was also very great – I could ride my own camel myself- very fantastic from Ashraf. We took great picture with no hurry and had the chance to experience the beauty of the Sahara and pyramids when doing a unique camel ride. After that we had a great visit at the sphinx, a souvenir shop (out of the super expensive ones) as well as the papyrus museum. Ashraf helped us not being overcharged and was always fair. We had the choice to choose our lunch and had a great special shawarma. Ashraf was more than a tour guide. He was also great company and the best Tour Guide we had in our Trip in Cairo. We can totally recommend the Guide from Ashraf!
