Beautiful experience in Egypt - We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our guide Gina for an incredible day at the pyramids! She is a true professional — she explained everything clearly and with passion, sharing the history of Egypt with love and enthusiasm. Thanks to her, the tour was not just informative, but also lively and inspiring. Special thanks to Gina for her patience, attention, and amazing photography skills — we now have beautiful pictures and warm memories to keep. She is such a pleasant and kind person, and it was a real joy to spend the day with her. Thank you so much, Gina, for your care, energy, and beautiful smile! You made us love Egypt even more 💛

She gave us an overview of the history in full detail and was very patient when we wanted pictures. She went above and beyond to ensure our time at the pyramids were pleasant. I highly recommend Dina!!!

Great guided tour from Simon of Giza & Saqqara - Just as with the other guided tours I did at the GEM, Saqqara, Coptic Cairo, the hanging church, the church of Abu Serfga, this was another excellent tour, primarily owing to the expertise of my guide Simon. It can be very busy at Giza and having a guide who really knows and can explain the site is invaluable. In addition to Giza, I would recommend a tour to Saqqara, which is less busy but very good.

Great tour Pyramides and Spinhx - Our tourguide Dina, did a great job. She took time for my grandfather of 84 years old and myself, to show the pyramides and spinhx at his own speed. She gave her extensive knowledge in a fascinating way. Thanks Dina!

Pyramids, Sphinx, and GEM - I had a good experience overall visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our driver, Mario, was excellent—very professional and kind, and made the experience smooth from pickup to drop-off. Our tour guide for the day was Simon. At the start, she seemed engaged and gave us a brief history before heading to the pyramids. Things went well at first—we rode camels (around $20 for 10 minutes), got some great photos, and enjoyed the scenery. She helped us navigate through the bus chains and such. However, as the tour progressed, I noticed Simon became increasingly distracted by her phone. When we arrived at the Sphinx, she gave a short intro before the entrance and then told us to explore on our own while she waited near the exit. I saw other guides actively walking with their groups, sharing detailed insights and helping with photos—which made me feel a bit let down I love to learn about history and I felt my money was wasted. After taking pictures, I asked Simon several questions about the Sphinx and nearby areas, but she seemed irritated by the follow-up questions, especially when I asked if we could explore additional sections that she mentioned were non accessible which I understood. Also I mentioned if we could walk around the pyramids to explore a bit this was before sphinx she said we could once we exit the pyramids from the inside but she ended up rushing us to go to the sphinx. Later, we were taken to a tourist shop that wasn’t mentioned in the original itinerary. I was under the impression we were visiting Giza, the Sphinx, and the GEM for a full-day 8-hour tour. At the shop, Simon said she’d be waiting for us, we then got talked to by some sales lady who tried to sell us some painting which I was not interested in I tried to find Simon and she was not at the spot she said she would be and in order to get away from this sales lady I left the store. Simon then came out running after us and seemed a bit upset and said why didn’t you tell me you were leaving and of course I responded with you weren’t at your spot. At the GEM, things picked up again—she finally offered to take photos of us for the first time . She then gave us a tour of the museum and went through the highlights However, it felt a bit rushed . She then said we could have 20 minutes to explore the museum and keep in mind this museum is huge and we just went through only the highlights I wanted to see each exhibit. I talked to her and said I’d need at least 40 minutes. She agreed and at this point only 4hrs and 30 min of our tour had passed and this was our last stop so I was unsure why she wanted us to go quick. After 49 min we had almost finished going through the museum and I told her we’d need more time she then sent me a message saying saying tourists are only allowed 30 minutes to explore on their own, even though the museum is massive and we still had time left in the scheduled tour. I ended up spending less than 6 hours on what was supposed to be an 8-hour tour. While I truly enjoyed seeing these incredible landmarks, I didn’t enjoy the tour experience with Simon as much as I’d hoped. The driver, Mario, on the other hand, was excellent and deserves recognition. I hope Simon gets the proper training to improve her skills as a tour guide and this will allow her to receive better feedback from customers and receive hopefully greater tips as all tourists want is a nice stress free day
