One of the most touching moments in my life - Camel ride under the moon light was actually a bit difficult for me more than I thought, but also a surreal experience that is hard to have in my life. When I was able see the Sunrise, I almost cried. Thank you so much for giving me such a touching beautiful memory. The pyramids and the sphinx in the early morning looked so mystical and also the best timing as less visitors. The Egyptian falafel sandwich breakfast was the most I loved while my stay in Egypt. You would be able to have more experiences if you request. I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

Private tour of the pyramids with camel ride - We are first time visitors to Egypt and on our second day of arrival I booked us a private tour to see the pyramids, the Sphinx , and the museum (with the camel ride which was definitely one of the highlights). I have to say, Egypt has a Lot of history and it’s impressive to see it, but having a knowledge and caring guide makes the whole experience even better. We were lucky to get Manar Atwa as our tour guide and she was excellent and shared with us so much of her personal insight into Egypt’s history. Not every guide would do that . A very memorable day. And she took some of the best photos from our entire trip :)

Great Experience!! - Our tour guide, Zenab, was the best!! Very organized, knowledgeable and accommodating. She always made sure we knew what to expect at each stop and ensured we were pleased at every step. I most appreciated her making sure that we weren't overly harrassed by local 'merchants'! Our driver was also great! It was a relief to know that we were safe and could relax while with them.

The best day of the whole trip! - My friend and myself came to Egypt for a few days mainly to see the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. We took this tour and do not regret it one single bit. Our tour guide, Manar, literally knows everything there is to know about Egyptology and made the entire experience so much more special. We could really tell it was much more than just a job for her and that she has a passion for Egypt's ancient history. I'm really happy we went to see these places with a professional guide and not just winged it. Manar explained everything we were seeing and put everything into historical context from the start to the end in one consistent story. I've really learned a lot and will not forget this day! Apart from the Pyramids we saw the Egyptian Museum including the Tutankhamun artefacts, we got to ride a camel near the pyramids for a short while, had lunch, visited a papyrus gallery/museum (learnt a bunch there too) and spent a few hours at the Khan El Khalili market. It was a fully packed day, never boring and I would in full honestly really recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Egypt!

Best tour I have ever been on - My friends and I only had one full day in Cairo and this was the perfect tour for it. We had the time of our life’s on this tour. Everyone always talks about how unsafe Egypt is, but that was not my experience at all. We didn’t have a single part of the trip where we felt uncomfortable for unsafe!

Perfect end to a great holiday - On the strength of previous reviews we (wife, brother in law, his wife and me) booked this tour to round off our stay in Egypt after our Nile cruise; it proved to be an excellent choice. Our guide, the wonderful Zenab, contacted us the evening we arrived in Cairo to confirm details for the following day, and was waiting for us in the foyer at 0800. Her meticulous but flexible planning style ensured that we had a fantastic camel ride and saw the Pyramids and Sphinx before the crowds and the heat built up, and after a quick visit to a couple of shops ( we recommend Aladdin’s Bazaar for cartouches) she took us to a very good restaurant overlooking the sites. We got to the Antiquities Museum in the city where, once again, we were able to wonder round the entire collection in our time and free of crowds - so different to the chaotic experience of our last visit 16 years ago. The day was such a resounding success that we asked Zenab to arrange tickets for us to see the Pyramids Son et Lumiere Show that evening. Sitting in the hotel afterwards we all agreed that this had been the perfect end to a fantastic holiday. We recommended Zenab to friends in Hurgada who were also flying in to Cairo for a few days before flying home. They also booked a tour with her and their feedback afterwards was just as positive. Zenab and her driver, Nasser, were excellent and to anyone reading this review we have nothing but praise for her and would fully recommend her as your guide. Thank you Zenab, just make sure you let us know when the new Antiquities Museum opens at Giza so we can come back and see you again. Mr D, L, G & E

Amazing Day with Zenab! - We started with an early camel ride before it got too hot, guided tour of the pyramids, Sphinx, and museum. Zenab also took us to a market and a place to get handmade jewelry! The lunch we had a view of the Sphinx and pyramids head on! Very well organized!

Cairo Surprised me! - I had a wonderful time with Zeinab! We started the morning with the camel rides and pyramids. Included in the tour was a wonderful lunch! Along with several local guides showing me history and details of Jewelry, Papyrus, and Perfumes/Oils! We finished the day off with a trip to the museum. So much to see!! So much to learn! ( The Mummies were pretty cool! ) Please do not hesitate about safety issues, Egypt is a must see!!
