An amazing way to kick off our trip to Egypt - We did the Private Guided Tour to the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx on our very first day, and it was such a cool and memorable experience. Everything was smooth from the start. We were picked up right from our hotel and dropped off after, which made things super easy. The tour was completely private and personal, which we loved. Our guide, Hend, was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, and we learned so much from her about the history and significance of the pyramids and the Sphinx. Our driver, Amr, was also fantastic and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. After the main sites, we visited a few local shops — there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything, just a chance to see some local crafts and learn more about Egyptian culture. We took tons of amazing photos and felt like we really got a great introduction to the country. Highly recommend this tour, especially if it’s your first time in Egypt!

- Our time with Eino and our driver Hazem was great! The following comments are based on an abbreviated experience as one of our party had suffered foodborne illness the morning of the tour. Pros: - Super accommodating - they allowed us to move our pickup time at the last minute and efficiently see all the monuments given our late start - Excellent photo opportunities - Eino knew all the angles to get cool photos of the pyramids and sphynx - No hassle - tickets included hop on - hop off bus access and tickets to the grounds - Custom pickup and dropoff - Driver picked us up at our apartment and dropped us off at the Great Egyptian Museum following the tour - Personal tour - Tour was our group of 2 alone Areas to improve: - History was on a basic level, enough to enjoy the monuments but we desired additional details. For reference the PBS great pyramid special discussed more facts than the tour. The storytelling may have been shortened by our late start. FYIs: - Does not include excursion inside the pyramids. I believe this is an option for additional fee but since my friend was sick we elected not to add on. - Eino said they can provide additional experiences. One group requested papyrus scroll writing and he took them to a local papyrus maker following the pyramid tour.

1st time in Egypt. Pyramids and Guide, Hamdy - I've booked several travel plans with Viator. They really do have the best. Hamdy was out guide. Hamdy was probably one of the best tour guides we've had out of all the countries we've traveled to on the past. Hamdy was very punctual, reachi g out to us the night before to coordinate. Egypt, while beautiful, is hampered with crooks who are very clever in their manipulation tactics towards tourists. Hamdy quickly warned us and gave us instructions on what to stay away from. Very useful as 1st time visitors. He speaks 14 languages making it easy for him not only to communicate with us and locals, but other tourists as well. That was very useful. Additionally, he would let us know who was honest, and who were crooks. If you're interested in seeing the Pyramids, I can say from experience, bar none this would be the one to book!

10/10 exploration of the pyramids - Our tour guide, Muhammad Saeed, was an amazing guide. He knew a lot of cool and fun facts that made the tour memorable. He knew some truly amazing spots for us to explore and learn about Cairo. We recommend to anyone looking for a great day full of learning and exploring to look for Muhammad!
