Private 8 Hours Special Customizable Cairo-Giza in one Day with Egyptologist

Very satisfying

The tour was exactly what we wanted in a private tour — comfortable car in great condition, very nice and careful driver Besu, highly knowledgeable guide Nour Nagy with very clear English. Our guide allowed us to change 2 tour sites; ie replace museum and Khan e Khalil bazar trips with Memphis and Sakkar. The trip to Giza pyramid and Sphinx was very nice, that included camel ride. She took beautiful photos of us. The lunch was standard Egyptian lunch of rice and meat (chicken & beef). I recommend this tour from this tour company.

Great experience

Nino and Hako were excellent tour guides; very friendly and knowledgeable. We arrived late at Cairo and they facilitated pickup from the airport to take us directly to the pyramids. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s looking for some sightseeing around Cairo.

An amazing experience - must not miss!

What an amazing experience, this tour is the perfect one for seeing all the beautiful sights of Cairo and to learn about its history. Ibrahiem was so knowledgeable and made it feel like I was being shown around by a friend which was nice since I am traveling alone - he’s also a great photographer and has perfect English! I totally recommend this tour!!!! Value for money is amazing!

Great Tour with Ahmed

We had a fabulous tour with Ahmed Elsayed, he was very knowledgeable and great with the camera! We saw the pyramids, museum and bazaar, each was handled excellently! Our driver is Amr was perfect too. They were on time, got us water, snacks, helped up haggle with shops and made the whole experience stress free. Would definitely recommend him and this tour!

Amazing tour! Get Mimo as your guide!

We took the half day tour to see the Great Pyramid and Sphinx that includes camel ride and it’s such an amazing and unforgettable tour! Our guide Mimo met us at the hotel lobby with their company logo so it’s easy to recognize. Mimo is very professional and knowledgeable and we have learnt so much. He is those honest guide who doesn’t push you to give tips or provide false information (believe me there are lots out there). Mimo got us snacks to start the tour and the camel ride is so fun! Mimo is also a great photographer who has helped us to take lots of beautiful photos as there were only the 2 of us (couple) on the trip. I highly recommend you take the tour with a guide as there are so many local vendors who will harrass you or push you to get a camel. Get Mimo as your guide and you will be in great safe hand!

Outstanding!!!

No matter how experienced a traveler you are, guiding yourself in Cairo is not something you should try. Traffic, unmarked roads and the inability to speak Arabic are huge drawbacks, at least for us! And we are so glad we didn’t try to do it on our own! No guidebook would have ever provided the depth and breadth of Egyptian history as our guide Waleed did. He was so engaging, spoke perfect English, was extremely personable and answered all our questions. He also kept us out of the way of cars and motorbikes while we were on foot. (A shout out to our driver (Ibrahim) who kept us calm as we zigged and zagged through the most crazed traffic we have ever experienced.) When Waleed met us at our hotel we presented him a list of all the places we wanted to visit snd we were able to see it all! Plus a few things that we hadn’t thought of. He picked up a delicious carryout lunch that we ate at a local coffee bar where we watched the interactions of tourists (few) and locals. Very delicious and relaxing. He gave us many pointers on bargaining in the market, Muslim religion and culture, and how to discourage approaches from street vendors. Besides learning and seeing so much we also felt amazingly safe and comfortable in Cairo. In fact safer than I have felt in some cities in the USA! An anecdote will highlight the warmth and friendliness we experienced: while parked at an intersection in front of an Egyptian bread vendor a customer engaged me in conversation and then bought me two pieces of the local bread.I am a world traveler of many years and that is the first time I have ever experienced such generosity! A truly wonderful experience!!!

Very informative Pyramids tour

Our guide Mohammed Mahmoud gave us a super tour. He arrived exactly on time, after communicating by WhatsApp before, and took us in a comfortable car driven by Casper to see the pyramids at Dashur, Saqqara and Giza. He also accommodated a detour via Memphis, at our request, which was very kind of him. Throughout he gave us plenty of information as well as opportunities for photographs - he knew the spots away from the crowds, as well as arranging a delicious informal lunch. He knows a lot about the full pharaonic era but also about the area (it was amazing to see the countryside). There is no way we would have been able to do all this on our own. Our deepest thanks to Mohammed Mahmoud and Casper!!

I had a wonderful day touring with Rania Yahia! Rania made sure we had the opportunity to see everything we wanted to see. She speaks excellent English and was professional, fun and extremely knowledgeable about the sites and Egyptian history. I always felt safe and well cared for. I recommend this tour highly and especially recommend Rania.

Great tour

I had Mahmoud and he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He let me customize the whole day and I had a great day sightseeing and learning about the history of Egypt.

Once in a lifetime tour

We were two of us with a stopover of less than 24 hours and this trip was great to have a glimpse of the Ancient Egypt splendor. We were guided by Khaled who was very knowledgeable and allow us to visit the place at our own place. Always checking if we were comfortable with the activities and schedule and made sure we had an experience of a lifetime. I can't remember the name of the driver but the driving was pleasant and not stressing at all (which is a lot for Cair standards for what I have been told). They also went the extra mile to taking us to book an hotel for some hours and wait until we confirm we got a room The only recommendation is that it if you are heading to Dashur I don't think think is worth to pay 25 USS for the great pyramid entrance as it is crowded and it is way better to enter the red pyramid or bent pyramid for free. Highly recommended

The best private tour in Egypt !

I just had an amazing day with the great guide Mohamed El Wazir. He let me create the tour, step by step without me realising he was fulfilling all my dreams. Spending lots of time at the Pyramids, doing a special unique Camel ride far from the tourist’s ones, showing me special places, giving me very interesting historical information. Mohamed loves hos work and he loves people. We then visited Sakkara, following his advice. I went there last month with a group but this time with Mohamed I completely rediscovered it and I loved it. Attention to details, making me feel comfortable, friendly, professional. Really the best guide ever so far. Thank you. This is my first day on my second time in Egypt and I loved it ! Nb : I dreamt of eating again the typical Egyptian food (Cuchari ?). He made me discover a delicious one. He also made me discover the Egyptian coffee. Absolutely delicious too. To finish as I would write for pages ;-), I didn’t feel treated like a tourist with all the traps I experienced during my first trip to Egypt :-). I felt like spending the day with someone who loves his country and shares it with you without asking anything in return. And the driver was also very very nice. I wish I could stay longer in Cairo to do a tour again with them and with the Company “Let’s Explore Egypt”. 💖☀️🌟

Private Customizable tour around Giza, Saqqara, and Dashur

Had the private tour with Ahmed Kamel and it was fantastic. Ahmed made the trip interesting, funny, and unforgettable. He knew a lot about the pyramids and their history. He took us amazing pictures and helped us get affordable prices on souvenirs. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Ahmed.

Full day tour (Dahshour, Great Pyramids, Saqqara)

Ahmed was a fantastic guide, he was passionate about ancient Egyptian history and Egyptology, while maintaining a fun atmosphere. The tour is well worth it, you will be picked up and dropped off at your hotel or AirBnB, and everything in between is taken care of. While you can hire a driver to see these historical landmarks, it is much better to have a guide to teach you the background information. Highly recommend Ahmed!

Unforgettable tour- Thanks Mr Medhat

It was a wonderful tour to Pyramids,.. it’s like a dream come true to both us with my friend.,,and the most memorable also is you met a good people like our tour guide Mr Medhat and our driver Andrew.,,Thank you so much Mr Medhat our tour was memorable to us and we like much the shops we visited.,,and thanks again for the souvenir you have to us.,, Great job and God bless you😊

Excellent service , great tour

My family went on this tour to the Giza pyramids, sphinx, Egyptian museum and old Cairo. Mustaffa was well informed, friendly and very patient with my nine year old. He is an excellent photographer as well. The driver knows how to navigate the Cairo traffic. We enjoyed the trip - excellent service by the two gentlemen

Pleasant day with Hosni Zizo

Our day with Hosni was extremely pleasant. He has a good knowledge of ancient Egyptians and explained everything clearly, also his English was extremely well spoken. Hosni went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make sure we would build memories helping us taking lots of pictures. The only minor negative, if I have to find one, was the different visits to various museums/shops (papyrus, carpets, perfumes and Memphis souvenirs), where the salesmen were extremely pushy and would not take a no as an answer. I don't think Hosni can be held accountable for this, but if you are not prepared to buy anything you should really skip those. Just ask Hosni to skip them and I am sure he will, as he asked us if we wanted to visit this museums/shops or skip them.

Great and informative tour, learned and saw a lot!

My friend and I came to Cairo with the intention of seeing as many sites as possible. This tour covered everything that we wanted to see. The guide/Egyptologist, Khaled, was very interesting and spoke excellent English. His knowledge of Egyptian history definitely enhanced the tour and both my friend and I learned a lot of information about the sites we visited. Overall, I would highly recommend Khaled and I would consider using him again the next time I’m in Cairo. A word of caution regarding the papyrus shop that this (and almost all other tours) stop at: Consider purchasing your papyrus in Luxor if you travel there as it is significantly cheaper than the papyrus shop near the pyramids.

Perfect pyramids day with Wael

We have Wael Kamouna as our travel guide and did a Pyramid highlight day tour. It is definitely a 5 star service. He is very knowledgable and explained everything in details. He keeps us safe and away from sellers.We travel with a young kid. He waited us,and never rushes us ,plenty time to look around and he helps us take good photos. Our driver drive smoothly and waited us with air con just around corner when we finish one Pyramid heading to the next.Thank you both to make our journey so happy.Highly recommended for people wish to have private tour and want to visit the Giza,Dashur,Saqqara in one day.

good trip

very nice trip. our family had a great time. the travel guide Wael Kamouna is quite knowledgable and has deep understanding of egyptian histroy and culture. the service is also good, which made our journey confortable and pleasant

A fantastic day seeing the amazing pyramids

Spending a weekend in Cairo, my wife had always dreamed of visiting the famous pyramids. This tour and the guys who ran it (Hosni Zahran the guide and Basem Hoka the driver) were totally amazing all day. Not only did we feel safe and relaxed, after being collected from our hotel lobby, we were also educated in a friendly way about the momentous history of this region. The visits to the smaller pyramids to the South allowing us to experience the real inside of the tombs without the “crush” of the many tourists at Giza. This is also to be recommended. The day was well organised, car excellent, tours great, food at lunchtime, in a small local restaurant, was without fault. We cannot recommend these guys enough. Some of the photos they helped us get will be memories forever, always knowing the best angles and place to be.

Giza, Dahshur, Saqqara, Memphis - Full day private tour

Where to start, simply amazing. 8 hour tour that was very enjoyable. Our highly knowledgeable guide Eman, was brilliant, friendly & made the whole day feel personalised. The day started off by being met in the hotel lobby, straight away Eman was welcoming & friendly. Her knowledge of the sites was fantastic, explained everything clearly & was happy to answer any questions. Was happy to take photos for & with, kept the whole day friendly & added elements of humour. Her professionalism is second to none. Also Eman’s driver (Casper) was great, polite, friendly & provided a smooth relaxed drive. What the day covered; the Pyramids, of Giza, Dahshur, Saqqara; Museum at Memphis; the Sphinx; process shops (papyrus, textiles, incense); camel ride around the Great Pyramids of Giza; lunch near Saqqara. Seen some incredible sights, educational about the marvellous history & culture of the ancient Egyptians. To conclude, would definitely recommend the day trip. 10/10 Many thanks to Eman & Casper 👌🏻

Day tour of egypt

The company website promised us an individual tour to suit our request in a minibus with plenty water. This never happened. First there was no communication from anyone within the company after booking, then we had to get our hotel owner to call the tour guide as he was late. The tour was set by the guide and not by us, so we ended up in places where it wasn't our choice. Also no water was provided apart from at restaurant at dinner. I don't know if these problems were due to the fact that the two companies (booking and guide) seem to be independent of each other but the day wasn't what we expected. Ashraf the guide however was a good tour guide, very happy to chat and high standard of English. Knowledgeable about the subject and the pyramids we visited.

Excellent

I’m so glad I took this trip, Mona and Amer( the driver) were so nice and careful guys. I have fully enjoyed my private day tour, it was beyond my expectations. Mona’s counsels, advices and explanations were amazing. They keep me safe from the sellers and I was able to take my time to enjoy each place we visited. We took a lunch in Front of Pyramids and Sphinx it was really good. I highly recommend them. hope to see you guys on my next trip to Egypt.

The Pyramids up close

The tour itself was fantastic -- we saw nine of the 107 pyramids, as well as the tombs at Saqqara -- but it was made even more so by our guide, Adria. She was so warm and friendly, and very, very knowledgeable. Her pride in her country and interest in its history was clear, and she taught us things I doubt we would have learned with any other tour. Adria also shared her thoughts on what sights we should see and what we could skip (we only had the day) , and it was clear by our itinerary that she was getting us in and out ahead of the busy times. She also took photos for us and taught us a few words/phrases in Arabic. I'd highly recommend the tour, and even more highly recommend requesting Adria.

The Best Tour in the World

was the best tour in my life!We can see the pyramids in dashur, Saqqarra and Giza, with confort and safety.The lunch was very good too!The best thing no doubt was our guide Mona, she is very friendly and smart, she knows everyone in everywhere.Thanks Mona by the best day of my travels!If u wanna know Cairo or Giza, Dashur, Saqqarara call Mona, she is the best!!I cant forget Hasam, he is a lord Driver, very friendly too and a true gentleman!

magical place

the greatest pyramids wonderful and feel peace in this place really magic and amazing place to see the history of 7000 years

Very Nice

My guide Wael Kamuna was very kind and helped me get around Cairo and Pyramids. Tour was fully customizable and fun. Will visit again.

Awesome

It wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be but I still found it really amazing to go see. Walking in to but we’re you get closer was great that when you really got to see the hole thing and the details to it. It’s amazing how this guys built it back then

Giza and Cairo

Our tour guide Mona made the history come to life. Incredible organized with ultimate flexibility on what we saw throughput the day. If you want a great tour book with Let’s explore Egypt.

Perfect Day in Egypt!

Mona was great! We had a perfect day Cairo and Giza. Mona was so friendly and accommodated all that we wanted to see and do. The tour company Lets Explore Egypt was also very helpful and easy to work with. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

<p>Completely customizeable we chose 2 places to give us longer in each. Our guide was superb and helped us to get the most out of our day, even arranging an unscheduled camel ride for a few of us. Minivan was comfy and arrived on time. Can't rate it highly enough. Thoroughly recommend this tour !!</p>

It was amazing. The guide(Mr Eraky...

<p>It was amazing. The guide(Mr Eraky) was truly knowledgeable to Egyptian history and mythology. He was able to answer all the questions i had and actually loved to discuss. He was so energetic and passionately guided us. The way he tells was not boring at all but really made me aggressive to ask more</p>

When they say private and...

<p>When they say private and customizable, they mean it! We were able to switch and add St. Simon's cave church on our list of 4 sites with no problem. That was a huge positive! Our other three locations were the Great pyramid and the Sphynx, the Alabaster Mosque, and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar district. We went on a camel ride, saw how papyrus was made into paper, attended a perfume and oils shop presentation, and sampled the local cuisine. He also took us to a great coffee house and during our whole tour we had great conversations about what we saw and the world today. He was very knowledgeable and had a passion to pass on this knowledge to others. Don't feel pressured to buy anything. But if you do, our guide was able to talk them down in price for us. It was a humbling experience in all and I highly recommend this tour and our guide Mady.</p>

Superbe moment

Super moment passé lors de cette visite ! Nous avons profité des conseils de Khaled qui nous a fait visiter les pyramides et tout expliqué. C'était un bonheur avec notre chauffeur Mohamed, à tel point qu'on les a voulu tous les 2 pour notre visite d'Alexandrie 2 jours plus tard. Vraiment des amours à nous offrir boisson, figue de barbarie, acceptant notre régime alimentaire végétalien (le Kouchari 🤤). Un bonheur, merci ❤️

Visite des pyramides

Pour les voyageurs francophones , nous recommandons sans aucune hésitation Abdel , un guide fort sympathique avec de bons conseils sur les petites choses importantes à savoir au Caire.
