Best way to go to the pyramids - Amazing all inclusive trip to the pyramids! The tour guide, Mohamed, was fluent in English and extremely savvy, as well as a great help negotiating with locals for souvenirs! Great experience, outside the pyramids, inside the pyramids and overall

Amazing tour with great guides - The guide Hazem and the driver Yasser Salah were very professional and friendly. They took care of everything from our lunch to cigarettes. We got our moneys worth with the camel ride and going into the pyramid with many pictures taken for us along the way. It was an amazing experience. They took us shopping and got us back on time to catch our flight. Very good tour worth the money.

Amazing experience - Highly recommend you book this tour. The knowledge of our guide regarding the history of Egypt and the Giza Pyramids was phenomenal. As well as the little detail as to where the best spots to take pictures and go explore.

Best Short Half Day tour in Egypt - We had the luck of booking this tour on quite possibly the hottest day in April ( 107 F / 43 C 🥵) And this tour was still rather amazing. Mohammed and his partner made sure we were met and move inside an image conditioned vehicle between each attraction (another perk of private tour - less people more attention). He was knowledgeable and fun, kind and courteous and AN AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER ‼️ Highly recommend this tour with them. One thing to know, there will be some suggestions of places to go”shopping” after. Your decision completely. Overall ZERO COMPLAINTS. They were Awesome.

Great experience - Had a fantastic experience with Mohammed as my guide. He allowed me to do the things as I wanted and was extremely flexible. I was well looked after and not rushed. The pyramids were amazing.

Worst Viator experience ever - Very bad experience. The guide didn't interact at all. Was quiet throughout the way. Didn't even tell is where we need to go in or aanything. We had to follow other guides from other tours who were so knowledgeable. On top.of this our tour guide on purpose didn't not buy my son's ticket to go in the pyramid and for that at the entrance we had tonwaitnfor 30 minutes for her to get the tickets. Food was supposed to be included. The restaurant we were taken to was a sea food restaurant and our whole family is allergic to seafood. Atleast we should have been asked. Lastly for Sphinx tour. She just sat on the chair and didn't guide us for anything. We had to take pictured from the main road.

Poor experience! - Poor experience, our guide did not offer us any detailed information about the sites, the history or the construction of the pyramids. When asked questions she did not go into detail or was unable to answer the questions. The tour lasted 2.5 hours which included travel time.
