The best guided tour ever. - This was hands down the best guided tour we have ever done. The sheer volume of knowledge possessed by our tour guide, and his ability to pass that knowledge on was remarkable. We were collected from and returned to the airport by our driver who was skilled, friendly and entertaining. Our guide took us on a very well planned route that allowed us to build on our knowledge as we progressed through the day. The tour included lunch and this was a fantastic meal at a very authentic Egyptian restaurant. This tour was great value for money, entertaining, well planned and full of amazing sights. Worth every minute.

Great way to see all the important sites - I did this tour with Mahmoud as the guide. It was a great comprehensive way to see all the major pyramids and sites in one day. You'll of course see the great pyramids of Giza, but also some of the less popular ones. It was nice to see the progression of how they differed over time. Mahmoud was a great host. He provided lots of interesting history, facts, and context. He also made some interesting meta points of how things tie to modern Egyptian culture. My driver was safe and courteous. The lunch was surprisingly good. It was one actually one of the most delicious meals I had on the trip. Overall, a great way to see things with a private guide, at a good price.

A must tour for Egypt and seeing the pyramids. - Book this tour if you want a personalised tour. Do yourself a favour and avoid the big groups, especially in the Egyptian heat and book this tour.. A great day filled with history. Plenty of opportunity to explore more, rest or ask questions. Mahmoud was very knowledgeable about history and provided a lot of information

Fantastic tour with Mahmoud - My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Mahmoud. He took great care to explain so much about each place we visited, and he was an excellent navigator of each site. He clearly has so much respect for the history of his great country, and he likewise respects all those who come from far away to tour its historical sites. He allowed us to take our time enjoying each place, and was able to answer all of our questions. We would highly recommend Mahmoud to anyone considering taking a tour with Mahmoud. Shukran gazeelan ya Mahmoud wi hashoofak mara tania, inshallah!

Best Day Tour to Pyramids Ever - Aly of Egypt was the most friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable guide my partner and I could have asked for. He was not like other guides who waste a lot of time. He was on point and quick! We got to experience everything we could ever want to do/see around the pyramids and Giza and Saqqara What Surprised us is that Dahshur Pyramids are very big as well .And We enjoyed trying the local Egyptian food The trip was stress free, as everything was taken care of by Paula and it reflects excellent professionalism.

Mohammed Very Knowledgeable - We had a great day with Mohammed, who is very knowledgeable and knows how to share his passion. We really liked the sequence of the visits he prepared for us, keeping the Giza pyramids for last for maximum effect. We had lunch before visiting the Giza pyramids (as opposed to having it after the visits), which I think is better, not only because it gives a nice energy boost, but also because you get to the pyramids slightly later in the day so the light is nicer. He will give you the possibility to go on on a camel or horse ride to access areas with better views of the pyramids.So, would I do it again with Mohammed? Absolutely.

Giza and Dashur Pyramids - My experience with Mohammed and his driver friend was top notch. They were friendly, highly knowledgeable and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Mohammed is especially knowledgeable and passionate about ancient Egyptian history and antiquities. If you try to tour the pyramids yourself and don’t hire someone like Mohammed you’re going to be walking looking at a bunch of old structures and wishing you knew something about what you’re looking at. Mohammed delivers.
