Great tour guide - Our guide Nada was informative and welcoming. Highly recommended. The driver was careful and professional. Not crazy like an Uber driver.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide - Mostafa was a fabulous guide around the pyramids. A PhD student in archeology, he was not only there to show us around, but he provided a wealth of knowledge on the mysteries surrounding the site and the scientific discoveries that have revealed more information over time. He explained about the various archeological digs in the area, the origin of the stone used for building the pyramids and sphinx, and the vandalism that had occurred over time, including the reason for the sphinx missing its nose. Our visit was very much enhanced by having him as our guide and he would be highly recommended to others planning a pyramids visit.

A flawless, stress-free pyramid experience with a true expert! - +We had an incredible experience visiting the Sphinx and the pyramids with Mariam, who was fully dedicated to ensuring we had a wonderful trip. +Her passion and knowledge of ancient Egypt are very impressive, including her experience also working at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). +She went above and beyond for us, even managing to successfully reschedule a NMEC tour that we had accidentally missed. +As a local, she provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. +The entire day was stress-free thanks to their punctual transportation, a safe driver, and complimentary water bottles provided in the van. +Mariam spoke perfect English, making all of her historical explanations clear and easy to understand. +She was patient while some of our family members took the extra time to go inside the pyramids. +Her expertise in navigating the layout of the pyramid site was a advantage, as she knew which routes were best to take. +We appreciated her empathy as an animal lover. She guided us toward credible side attractions, like ethical camel rides, and specifically warned us against operators with poor animal welfare standards.

Best Great Pyramids Tour in Egypt! - This was an excellent and informative tour of the Great Pyramids and all of what Giza has to offer! If I could give Hamdy 10 stars, I would!! He spent the entire morning until lunch time with us and chose some amazing food for lunch! Having this as a private tour made it even better, we saw the large tour groups going by and were extremely glad that we reserved a private tour with Hamdy. We left the trip feeling like we made a new friend! 10 out of 10!

Perfect Giza Tour! Pyramids, Sphinx & Museum with an Amazing Guide - We had an absolutely fantastic day with Asma visiting the Pyramids, the Sphinx, enjoying a camel ride, and exploring the Grand Egyptian Museum. Asma is an amazing guide. Incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about Egypt’s history. I was travelling with my mum and translating for her, and Asma was so caring and supportive throughout the day. She picked us up from our hotel, arranged a delicious lunch, and tailored the experience perfectly to us. She also knew all the best spots for photos! The trip was very reasonably priced and we felt we got the best value for the money. As two women visiting Egypt for the first time, we felt completely safe and very well looked after. We were so pleased with the experience that we booked Asma for two additional days, and by the end of our stay it felt like I have a sister in Egypt now. If you can tour with Asma, don’t hesitate, she is absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful time in Giza - We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Mona! Her knowledge about the Pyramids, the ancient Egyptian kingdoms, and the history of the Sphinx was truly impressive. She explained everything in a very clear and engaging way, which made the whole visit much more interesting and meaningful. Mona also helped us take beautiful photos during the tour and knew all the best spots for pictures around the pyramids. Thanks to her, we now have wonderful memories captured in stunning photos. She is professional, friendly, and very passionate about Egyptian history. I highly recommend Mona to anyone visiting the pyramids and wanting a knowledgeable and helpful guide

Efficient morning tour around the pyramids - I appreciated that Amal, our tour guide got in touch with us on WhatsApp a day ahead of the experience. Pickup by the modern mini van was exactly on time and effortless. We went straight to the pyramids and learned a lot about the history and cultural background. We got answers no matter what type of questions we had. Camel ride was really fun, we definitely got perfect pictures at the end. After the pyramids, we visited three different souvenir shops (parfume, spices, papyrus), and had a quick sandwich for lunch in the car. I recommend the tour as transportation made it easy for us to get around and having a guide made the experience interactive. On the other hand, they have free bus shuttle service inside the pyramids area, so you can have the full experience for much less without this option if you already know much about the history/culture yourself.

The visit to the pyramids... - The visit to the pyramids was overall a memorable experience. Seeing the pyramids in person is truly impressive, and the logistics of the tour were generally well arranged. Transportation was smooth and the schedule was managed efficiently. Our tour guide was quite young and seemed relatively new to the job. He was polite and clearly trying his best, which we appreciated. However, he appeared a bit lacking in confidence and the explanations sometimes felt hesitant and quite basic. As visitors, we usually prepare before trips like this. We had already read books and watched documentaries about ancient Egypt, so we were hoping for deeper insights, stories, or perspectives beyond the standard introduction. Most of the information shared during the tour felt fairly general and routine. We understand that guiding is a demanding and repetitive job, and new guides need time to build experience. However, for many travelers, visiting the pyramids is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so expectations for the guiding experience are naturally quite high. Another small but disappointing issue was that we are quite sure we left a pair of reading glasses in the car during the return trip. Unfortunately, we were unable to trace them afterward, which was a bit upsetting. One suggestion for Viator would be to provide clearer information about the tour guides before assigning them—such as experience level, ranking, or areas of expertise. This would help travelers better understand what to expect and choose guides that match the level of depth they are looking for. Overall, the trip itself was enjoyable, and the guide was friendly and well-intentioned, but with more experience and deeper storytelling, the tour could become much more memorable.
