• Extraordinary Once In a Lifetime Experience

  An awe-inspiring tour with the best of the best guide. Words seem insufficient to explain this adventure. It truly was the most incredible experience in all of my travels around the globe. Being completely honest, I was slightly skeptical this was going to go as promised until it actually happened as it seemed too extraordinary to be true. The price appears high, but after understanding the cost to maintain and functionally run The Great Pyramids of Giza, it is a fair and understandable fee. About Ramses: he expertly handles all of the complicated bureaucracy and logistics. Ramses is a PhD and is a pure wealth of information on all subjects of Egypt. He is full of passion, energy, knowledge and wisdom with a fantastic sense of humor. We genuinely had the Great Pyramid of Khufu to ourselves after hours. Ramses guided us into the ascending passageway, through the Grand Gallery to the King’s Chamber, down into the Queen’s Chamber, and further down the descending passageway to the subterranean chamber. We were enlightened with his studied knowledge throughout our fascinating journey. It was a priceless experience to be in a marvel and world-renowned structure of ancient architecture - alone. It is a real and exceptional opportunity. If you are able, do it!

• A time travel with Ramses XII

  We spent about 7 hours with Ramses on our very first day in Giza, on which we had a custom tour tailored to our desire to see the Giza Plateau and the GEM on the same day. Ramses is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist and knows pretty much everything about all the dynasties and ancient Egypt. The full visit was packed with information and explanations that were a true pleasure. Ramses has very great communication skills as well as planning skills; thanks to his suggestions, we managed to enter the Khufu's Great Pyramid with virtually no tourists. There was a point where my girlfriend and I were the only two people at the sarcophagus chamber, and I learned that it was a quite rare experience in such a mainstream and important archaeological site. After the morning at the Giza Plateau, we headed to the Great Egyptian Museum, where Ramses made a great and detailed tour of the museum with lots of explanations and detailed stories. (The Tutankhamun wing was just amazing)... as Ramses put it, we felt like kids in a candy shop. Unfortunately, I had only one day available and I had to squeeze as much as possible, because it would have been amazing if I could have spent more time with Ramses and his very deep knowledge of the Egyptian culture. I absolutely recommend his guide, and if you have the chance to have more than one day with him, well, do it! It is just worthwhile. Thank you, Ramses, for the great time together. You truly are a living pharaoh.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rameses was an outstanding guide. He brought the pyramids of Giza, the stepped pyramid of Saqqara, and the ancient city of Memphis to life with knowledge, humor, and genuine passion. His storytelling made the history feel vivid and meaningful, and he made sure we were comfortable and engaged the whole time. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

  We loved our tour so much we sat down and wrote a devotional poem to Ramses that evening! Ramses, guide of timeless sands, An archaeologist with steady hands, A historian grounded, clear and wise, A secular centrist with open skies. Beneath the pyramids’ towering might, He unveiled secrets etched in light, Deciphering glyphs with patient art, Breathing life into each sacred part. He wove the tales of burial rites, Of souls’ journeys through endless nights, Crafting stories rich and deep, Where history’s shadows gently sleep. Through winding paths and desert’s breeze, He tended to our needs with ease, A guardian of both time and place, Guiding us with knowledgeable grace. With Ramses, the past became clear, Ancient Egypt whispered near — A journey learned, felt, and known, In his presence, we were shown. We loved every minute, cant wait to be back again- his knowledge is second to none!

  We had two tours with Rameses - Day 1 was a city tour of the Coptic & Islamic quarters. Day 2 was a tour of Giza and Saqqara. Both tours were excellent and demonstrated Rameses' expert knowledge. He tailored both tours for our Daughter (7) who struggled a little with the heat - lots of snacks and frequent breaks! Overall, I can't recommend Rameses enough! He's a star! Special shout-out to our driver, Yasser, who was always around the corner when we needed transport!

  

  

  

  

• Giza Pyramids Tour

  Ramses XII was our tour guide for our family of 3 in October 2025. Ramses XII is an excellent guide . Firstly he was incredibly easy to deal with in planning and organising the tour . Responsive , clear communications , suggestions on ways to optimise our time together beforehand so we knew exactly what to expect on the day . Ramses XII met us at our hotel and was very informative on local infrastructure and landmarks on the way to Giza. For the tour itself he demonstrated outstanding knowledge of the culture and beliefs in the time that the Pyramids and associated buildings were built as well as the much more recent history of the pure archaeological investigations as well as the less wholesome exploitation of the Pyramids and their treasures by parties both local and international . Ramses XII took us to parts of Giza that I think other guides would not take you to help explain the purpose and construction of the pyramids in a larger context as well the beliefs and cultures in the different dynasties. Personally Ramses XII is a great guy to spend time with. To be a guide you have to have subject knowledge and an understanding of what the tourist is interested in and what they want out from the day. Ramses XI is exceptional at both and I can see why he is highly rated on Tripadviser . We finished the tour with a meal at a restaurant that Ramses XII recommended . Maybe a small point but he also did a great job at guiding us through the menu and making sure we all had a good time there too. We plan to come back to Luxor and Aswan in the future and will certainly work with Ramses XII again. Like many professions , probably more so with Tour Guides , there is a wide range of capabilities . If you book time with Ramses XII you can be sure of coming away with a much higher understanding of the the original and more recent history of the Pyramids as well as having a great time

• Great experience!

  We really hit the jackpot when we booked Ramesses for a private tour of the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. The experience was brilliant from start to finish. Ramesses kept in touch by What's App so he understood our needs (including regular bathroom breaks). The pick up from Alexandria port was seamless as Ramesses kept in touch sending maps and pictures of where to meet. His knowledge and passion for Egyptian history was evident and his English was very fluent. We had an amazing day which was half the price of the ships tour but twice as enjoyable! We originally looked at a private tour because my husband could not cope with travelling for 3 hours, from Alexandria, on a bus without sufficient legroom. Our vehicle was an 11 seater Toyota Hi-Ace for 6 people including the guide and driver so plenty of room. Would highly recommend Ramesses for anyone wanting a private tour in Egypt.
