Witness the trial and error led to the Pyramids of Giza - By joining this tour, I was able to experience the trial and error of reaching the Great Pyramids of Giza. I chose the driver-only plan, and my driver, Mr. Abdullah, was very kind and humorous and we had a great time .He even helped me purchase my ticket at the rickety ticket office. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Super Amedeo - Our driver, Amedeo, really super! On time under the hotel, safe and friendly guide, did everything to meet our needs. The price paid is ridiculous compared to the service received, alone organizing something like this costs at least three times as much

Private tour to saqqara - Great half day trip to Saqqara , Memphis etc. As it was our first day in Giza , we wanted to get Cairo pass in Giza ticket office and our guide helped us to sort that out before heading south which we appreciated their flexibility. The tour was also fantastic, going inside the pyramids was my highlight

Flexible Tour with Cheerful Driver - We booked a tour with only a driver, without a guide. Hady was competent and had a cheerful attitude. Although he arrived an hour late, we adjusted our itinerary to suit our preferences and spent most of the time in Saqqara, exploring not just the Djoser complex but also New Kingdom tombs, the Serapeum, and Imhotep’s museum. He also took us on a side trip to Carpenters Mall, which was a nice addition. Overall, it was a good experience.

Not bad - The driver came on time but due to his personal commitment he rushed us through. We requested to drop off in a different location which he refused and dropped off midway. The car was not great as well. But you need a car to see the places.It is not bad but not the best you can get.
