A day full of Pyramids - Totally worth experience, you see all of the pyramids in a very comfortable way. I was sick but still enjoyed it with the highlight being the book of the dead chamber in Sakkara, do not miss this! The tour guide was very helpful and humorous and gave me some overall tips to plan the rest of my travel.

An experience you should not miss - If we had had just one day to spend in Caïro, this excursion provides all the highlights and with all the information a very enriching experience. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time on the Giza plateau visiting around the piramides and later on the Sphinx. Riding a camel really added to the experience and gave us the possibility to see the piramides from various angles. The drive out to Seqqara and Memphis gave us a view of the expanse of palm trees and catching flashes of the locals at work. All the more enjoyable after a couple of days of chaotic Cairo. On an organizational level all was well executed, on time, clear as to the next step, we could sit back and relax into the experience. Our experience with our guide was very pleasant and such that we hooked up again at the end of our trip for a last memorable day. Our requests were speedily answered, as Emad said, “I am the genie of your lamp”. True to his word not much later he helped us out so sort a problem. A good friend to have in a country where we cannot communicate with the locals nor read any of the signs.

The best tour ever across pyramids, the Sphinx and some other wonderful places with a golden guide ! - So, our day discovering the pyramids, the sphinx… was just amazing and magical mostly thanks to Emy who was the kindest person we have met here. In the car, driving to the pyramids he gave us advices so that we would have the best experience and he even taught us some Arabic words. During the tour he explained everything very well about the Egyptian ancient history and answered to all the question we had. He also took pictures for us and brought us to some places specialised in the fabrication and painting of papyrus, the production of traditional oils and parfum ( lotus flower…). We learned a lot with him and we had the best time ever, we felt safe and thanks to his happiness and natural hospitality he was almost like a friend.

Two couples - Emad is so knowledgeable and a certified tour guide. He shared his knowledge at a comfortable pace that allowed us to enjoy the historic sites and ask questions. Emad paced our day to include the sites we chose. We also visited a papyrus facility to learn how it was made, a store that had Egyptian cottons and a a small glass blowing/ essential oil business. We also discussed Egyptian history, culture and the tourism industry. We appreciated that he spoke good English which helped us understand the rich details of the sites we visited Emad gave us good advice about how to avoid the many aggressive vendors at the sites. Emad has an excellent partner in our driver who kept our van cool and readily available to move between sites.

Great time in Giza - Our guide Emad help to enhance our trip to Egypt. His English was excellent and his expertise on Egyptian artifacts, pyramids, the Sphinx were exceptional. The pace of the tour was good. He also took some great photos of us and he knew exactly where to position us to maximize the shot. He was very candid talking about other issues concerning Egypt and willing to answer any questions we had.

Almost a 5/5 if it wasnt for the camel ride and Nile cruise. - The good: Punctual Knowledgeable Interactive It was the best tour i had in Cairo, the were extremely punctual, they arrived before the scheduled time (8am), from ere Ahmed and Emad drove me around to the destinations where Ahmed began to give me interesting facts about the ruins and in between we had some Egyptian food which was delicious as well as a glass of sugar cane juice. they took me to gift shops where i was able to purchase some pictures, jewelery and perfume. He was interactive and conversed with me the whole trip. at the end he recommended a cruise, for $50 usd, that took place in the Nile which I decided to go to itsl was very calm and the food was good. It did not include the drink(soda) which I was told it included. The bad: The bad has more to do with the gift shops than with this tour. All the gift shops are kinda aggressive. The cruise: Ahmed told me that it included drinks (soda), food and a show. But at the end of the trip I got a bill of around 40+ Egytian pounds (~$2.5 usd) for the drink. If I knew I was going to get charged ~5X the street price I would not have gotten the Sprite. The "included" camel ride: technically it is included, however its a one-way and the destination is the middle of the the desert, I was told that it would be $10 usd to ride the camel back, or walk back, or $20 usd to ride the camel all the way to the Sphinx....I chose the $20 additional ride, it did have some nice views...but it should be specified in the description that it's one way.
