I booked this tour for my birthday, I am so grateful for such an amazing tour guide and driver. Ahmed Tonsi and Mohammed went out of their way to make it a special day. They really took care of my mum, she struggled with some parts, so they adjusted the schedule to make sure she could participate. They allowed us to move the felucca ride and lunch to the next day, with no extra charge... and even surprised me and my mum with a birthday cake! It was a lovely surprise. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. The tour was amazing, thank you Ahmed. I'd also like to thank Hamada for taking us on the felucca ride. I booked several tours with emo, and I'd highly recommend them. Mahmoud Suleiman was very knowledgeable and Alladin was lovely. The tours gave us great insights into the history of egypt and we can't wait to come back!
Thank you Robert for making us feel safe and telling us all about Egypt. And answering any questions we had. He got all of our photos as well.
Exceptional tour from start to finish. Easy pick up from our hotel in a comfortable car and transported to giza. Our guide Khadija was highly knowledgeable in all aspects of the pyramids and sphinx, we had a nice horse and carriage ride for the best view for pics as well
The tour you need if you want to know the history in detail, from the way Omair begins to talk a little about the beginning and meaning of the pyramids, you are picked up in the hotel in a fairly comfortable car and with air conditioning that is quite appreciated with the weather, it is very evident that the guide Omair likes what he does and is noticeable in the quality of his work, always aware of the doubts you have and even if you want photos he makes you want, quite recommended for the cost!
We participated in the half-day tour to the Pyramids , Jessy our guide was very good and nice deserves more than 5 stars . Perfect tour
Ahmed was an amazing guide. He shared his historical knowledge with us and was great company. Nothing was too much trouble for him and we can thoroughly recommend him. If we’d had more time in Cairo we would have booked him for other tours.

Super recommended excursion with our Omair guide. We toured the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and the truth is we could not have had more luck with our guide! The visit was completely private and that allowed us to enjoy the closest and most personalized attention of Omair, adapting at all times to our preferences. Omair has a particular way of telling the story behind these fantastic sites, he tells you the story in a super clear, relevant and interesting way, which made the tour even more fascinating and that you don’t get bored (how it can sometimes happen with other guides) The journey was very comfortable as we travelled by private car, which allowed us to relax and enjoy without rush or complications. Everything was perfectly organized, and the effort to make this experience unique was noted. It is definitely an excursion that we recommend 100% and we recommend doing it with our Omair guide.
Very nice guide and very attentive. It's made things much easier for us. The explanation of the pyramids is the best with many curious things. He doesn't seek to rip people off and recommends the best things. Un 10

TOTAL Experience!! Thank you very much to OMAIR, the best guide. We thought it would be an ordinary tour, but Omair has surprised us with very good bibras and great energy. We have talked about all sorts of things, a lot of very well structured information, very good sports for taking pictures, full tracking throughout the venue, in short, something that must be done if or if. Thanks Omair!! If I had met you before🎶
