My tour guide was Mohamed Hamed with Mekawy as driver. The trip exceeded expectations. Mohamed is very professional: he speaks perfect English and has in-depth knowledge in Egyptology. But what was even more important for me as a solo traveler, Mohamed was also a great companion. In addition to showing all the highlights and giving background knowledge we also had phylosophical discussions related to Egypt. Since he know that I am open to experience the local people and culture, I was invited to have a tea + snacks with his friends who work at the pyramid complex. Overall, instead of being another tourist who came to take pictures of the pyramids it was more like having a trip with a local friend who knows a lot about Egyptology. I am not sure about the other guides at this company but with Mohamed a great trip is guaranteed.Was a pleasure to book - easy and self explanatory.

Was a pleasure to book - easy and self explanatory. Was contacted the day prior reminding me of my booked tour, and the itinerary. Driver very professional and punctual, with ice cold drinks at the ready. He drove us between each site (the Great Pyramid, lookout spot of all the Pyramids of Giza, and the Sphinx + Valley Temple), which was a pleasure as it gave a reprieve from the heat. Tour guide unbelievable knowledgeable, and asked at the start how much you’d like to know, ensuring a more tailored experience. Also very patient with your questions and the time taken to take pictures.Absolutely wonderful time with our extremely knowledgeable tour guide housam and extremely prompt and effective driver soleiman.
