5.00I was in Cairo for just a couple days and wanted to see the pyramids and sphinx, visit a museum and bazaar, etc. I booked this tour based on the positive reviews, and had a truly fantastic day. My guide Zeinab and driver Peter were wonderful. Zeinab was full of history and useful info, was amazingly helpful, and knew people everywhere we went. We got to the pyramids early while it was still relatively cool and not crowded. Camel ride was fun! As was the rest of the day which was full of activities, including visits to some "official" government stores (which were great). I don't write many reviews, but wanted to share how really fantastic this experience was, esp due to Zeinab and Peter.
Great tour, great guide

5.00My 22yo daughter and I had the best day ever: pyramids, camel ride, museum tour, local flair including lunch and a stop at the open air bazaar. The best part was our guide, Manar. She really made it special with her thorough knowledge of ancient Egyptian civilization and how that ties to subsequent evolutions - even sprinkling in some current events. She was a friend of ours within 5 minutes of meeting her. When she learned we had only limited time the following day and needed to get to the airport, she arranged all of that for us. So we got to see the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Citadel and Muhammad Ali mosque, and take a boat ride on the Nile - none of which we would have done without her helping us out. Her love of the dogs of Giza was heartwarming and she helped deflect beggars and others as best she could when we were in the bazaar and other more open areas. This tour is a 10/10 and if you get Manar it’s a 12/10.
Amazing polite and professional guide
