Really enjoyed the tour. Felt the Pyramids and Museum were a bit rushed. Spent a lot of time in shops. While we enjoyed the shops and never felt pressured we just would have appreciated more time on the main events. Also was not happy with the distance from the Sphinx but apparently to get close it’s around $2k.

We had an amazing tour with Mohamed Elshemeid. He is very knowledgeable, we learned lots with him about the history of the pyramids, in the Egyptian museum and overall about Egypt. He was very friendly and a great tour guide to have. We definitely recommend him.

We had our tour with Mahmoud Hoka and he was just incredible. It was the most enjoyable touristic day. Exactly what you want around Cairo. We took it at our pace and he was so respectful and engaging. He has so much knowledge and both the pyramids and the museum were so fun. We couldn’t stop chatting. We took pics with him and rode camels with legitimate owners. Cannot recommend more!!!! Will tell all our friends to ask for him and book through this tour company!

Our trip with Mahmoud and his very capable driver was excellent. Mahmoud is very knowledgeable and gave us all of the information that we needed on our visit to the Pyramids and Sphinx. From there we visited a perfume oil manufacturer and then on to lunch. Lunch was first class and included in the cost only drinks cost extra. We declined the papyrus manufacturer as we had been to one before and went on to the Museum. Mahmoud took us through the museum and told us about all of the artefacts that were on display that were relevant as we could not have included all. We were offered a trip to a market but elected for a drive through as we were exhausted by then. We also declined the camel ride around the pyramids as we preferred to walk around them. This was accepted by Mahmoud and he took us where we wanted. I thoroughly recommend this trip as it was first class quality as well as informative. We are both in our seventies yet the pace was perfect for us.

This private tour was such a perfect way to see the pyramids, Egyptian museum, and the bazaar in one day! Fatima was such a knowledgeable guide, and was able to accommodate our specific interests so that we could spend more time in the pyramids and at an authentic Egyptian oil store. The provided lunch was also a delicious buffet of traditional Egyptian/middle eastern food. We even saved the location so we can go back the next time we’re in Cairo. Fatima was even able to recommend us plenty of things to do for the rest of our time in Egypt, including restaurants, landmarks, and even other tour companies that we could trust. We would absolutely recommend this tour and Fatima to anyone visiting Cairo or Giza.

This private tour was great! If you want to see the Pyramids and get a glimpse of the Egyptian Museum in one day, this is the perfect trip for you. It became even more memorable thanks to our very competent tour guide, Nada! She is very knowledgeable, fun, and great to talk to. We decided to skip the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar district since we wanted to stay in the museum longer, and she was very accommodating with that request. Cairo can be confusing, but with a great guide like Nada and our driver Adel, everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Egypt has been on my bucket list for the longest time, having a tour guide like Mahmoud Hoka made this experience unforgettable. The whole tour was wonderful starting with the pick up at the hotel on a clean car and nice driver, followed for a super informative tour to the Pyramids (Mahmoud was incredible making sure we had the best pictures, stopping on the vest views and points of history and super knowledgeable) , we even ride a camel to immerse ourselves fully in the experience. After that we had lunch in a clean and good authentic Egyptian food. After that we went to khan al khalili to experience and see closely the Egyptian market, this is the part I loved because there was not pushy selling of any service or souvenirs, it was truly to see fist hand the market and the highlights of it. And to finish our day we finish with the Egyptian museum where we had a detailed explanation of everything. We can’t recommend this tour enough! They made our visit to Egypt memorable!

It was a day which we’ll never forget. We were very lucky to have had Raina as our guide throughout the day. She has very patiently and competently answered all of our questions, and has also told us about Cairo, the cohesion between all faiths and so much more. Highly recommended tour, it certainly made us think that we’d like to come back and do this tour again.
