Chill day in Giza - Love everything about this tour. Horse riding by the pyramids, free water and lunch (because we said we were tired and hungry after), super friendly and accommodating tour guide (Maedhat) and driver (Ramadan), very funny and patient horse trainer (Ahmed). The tour went on for 4.5hrs because they gave us more time to take photos and videos. We went to check the papyrus maker and bought souvenirs. All in all, it was just fantastic and exceptional. I highly recommend this to those who need a short tour to fill in for a gap in your itinerary.

Camels may be big smelly beasts, but the ride was awesome anyway! - What a wild adventure to ride a camel!!! Don't pass this up! I highly recommend this for those that are adventurous. But hang on tight when your camel gets up from the ground and also when your camel lowers himself/herself to the ground for the dismount. We did these rides with the independent vendors that were behind the Great Pyramid. I'm not sure it they are run by the Deluxe Travel Egypt Company.

Amazing Experience - The guide Mahmoud is the highlight of this trip, he’s very knowledgeable and intelligent, he summarised the history of Egypt from the ancient to the present so eloquently. If hospitality had a name it would be Mahmoud As for the Horse riding, the instructor Ali was very gentle with us and allowed us to capture memorable pictures with the horses with the pyramids in the backdrop All in all, anyone in Egypt I would more than recommend you travel with Deluxe Travel, you will not be disappointed in the slightest

Giza pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis - Once again we embarked on our private tour with guide Mahmoud Badr, who is a Gem of a guy. There is anything that he doesn't know. Very proud of his heritage. Seen the sights and pyramids from different angles and viewpoints. Amazing experience. Fascinating history, and these humongous structures are truly brilliant.

Great tour guide, very informative - Mostafa was excellent, very helpful, very knowledgeable and he made us feel relaxed. The tour was tailored to our objectives with no pressure on time or in any other way. His English is flawless and he even spoke in Chinese to my wife (who is Chinese) and daughter. He gave us just enough history and explanation but didn’t make us feel like we were at school. Very good tour, highly recommend Mostafa.

Guide emad and driver ghazelle - The tour was amazing emad our guide was very informative. He explained all throughout. From the drive to the pyramids and back. He spoke very good English which made it more understanding of the history. Mohammed Ghazelle the driver was very professional as well. I would definitely recommend Emad as a guide for anyone especially if English speaking.

Dead horses and garbage, but friendly people - This was an interesting tour and was nothing that we expected. PROS: They had great communication through WhatsApp and were very friendly, which is why it's hard to share the truth here. The camels seemed well taken care of and comfortable, thank goodness. We had to tip the driver, translator, and two camel owners, so just be prepared for that. CONS: We rode 2 camels very far away from the pyramids, surrounded by garbage, passing by two dead horses on the way there and back (freshly dead as they hadn't decomposed much). There were also lots of kids riding their horses around us, with lots of whipping. Not a great photo opportunity since it was so far away and behind a metal gate. There also wasn't any information shared since the people didn't speak English. Not worth it in my opinion, and some what traumatizing because of the dead horses.
