This was a fantastic day from start to finish. Our driver Mohammed and guide Rania were superb. I wish we hadn’t booked others tours for the trip as I would definitely have used this company again. Excellent communication and followed up after the day with how it had gone. Ranias English is excellent and she told us lots of information and answered our hundreds of questions. We went in the grand pyramid, you need shorts/trousers and trainers. Rania took us to the best spots for photos. We did the 30 mins camel ride and that was enough. Memphis and Shakara was just as good and the step pyramid is a must. You need notes of small demonstrations eg 10s and 50s for toilets and tips. Do your research before on appropriate amounts and how much to tip the driver and guide.

I had booked a group tour to the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Saqqara and Memphis, but was then picked up by Ali (Achraf) and the driver Naglaa for a private tour - a great surprise! Both were warm and attentive. Ali is an excellent guide with impressive knowledge and a great passion for Egyptian history. He took a lot of time to explain everything to me in detail, which made the tour an unforgettable experience. The visit to the market was particularly nice: Naglaa and Ali bought fresh fruit so that I could try local specialties. This personal touch really made the day unique and made me feel like I was experiencing Egypt more intensively. I can absolutely recommend the tour and the warm care provided by Ali and Naglaa - a truly fantastic trip!

We had a very pleasant trip! They picked us up on time with a comfortable mini van with air conditioner. The driver was calm, kind and careful. Our guide, Mr Ahmed, is a very knowledgeable guide and passionate about the Egyptian history. We were very lucky to have him. He managed to do the best for us from the beginning of the trip until the end. He was also willing to answer all our questions. Overall, it was a very positive experience and we higly recommend it!

Friendly guide, very knowledgeable, had a fantastic day. Need to stop for a snack as this was a very long trip.

Yasmin was a good tour guide, very knowledgeable and had a lovely personality. Would definitely recommend her.
