Royal Private Tour: Pirâmides de Gizé, Esfinge e Grande Museu Egípcio

I had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Hadeer. She was incredibly polite, patient, and kind throughout the entire trip. Her knowledge was impressive, and she explained everything clearly, making the history come alive for us. Visiting the Pyramids and the GEM Museum was truly unforgettable, and Hadeer made it even more special with her thoughtful guidance and attention to detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great tour experience.

We booked this tour through Viator with GEM Explore Egypt. We had visited the Pyramids a few days previously with a different company and were rushed around, missing areas and very little time to take it all in and enjoy the experience. Our guide with GEM was Mostafa Ortega and he was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, interesting and we had a perfect mix of information, history and time to explore. We then went to the Grand Egyptian Museum which was incredible and again Mostafa was a font of knowledge but also allowed us to explore on our own and spend time in the areas of specific interest to us. Mostafa was a fabulous guide, had everything organised well and a super nice person who really made the day special. Highly recommended.

The driver and our BASMA guide were great and very welcoming from start to finish. The selection of the most important spaces to travel in each place we found excellent. Thank you also for the lunch that comes included, was exquisite. I highly recommend the experience.

Everything was very nice, from hotel pickup to return. The time and priority to know the best of each place seemed relevant. The driver and our guide Masma were very friendly all day. We only lacked more historical data and "freaks" during the tours. I recommend the experience.

We had such a great day with Ibrahim. Everything just ran really smoothly from start to finish. He took us to the Grand Egyptian Museum, then the pyramids, camel rides and the pacing was just right. We never felt rushed, and covered all the main highlights, he definitely knew what he was doing! He’s genuinely kind and easy to be around, and he did an awesome job keeping my two boys engaged and entertained the whole time. He was also accommodating and flexible, which we really appreciated. Honestly, I’d highly recommend him.

Mina, my guide, was great! He is very knowledgeable of everything Egyptian and loves sharing his knowledge with others. The driver was responsible. We had a lovely lunch. I highly recommend a private tour. The pyramids are amazing and the museum is wonderful. The museum is rather crowded but worth it. My only disappointment is we didn't go to he bazaar due to Ramadan and market we stopped at in Giza was all high pressure sales which I don't enjoy at all. When Mina saw me uncomfortable he asked if I wanted to skip this part and we left which I appreciated. I was very tired from travel and felt safe enough to rest my eyes during transport.

We had a great experience on this tour! 100% recommend. Our tour guide was Hussam and he was great. He was extremely knowledgeable and took great pictures. We spent the entire day with him and he even took us to a perfume shop, a papyrus art shop, and a jewelry shop. We didn’t get dropped off until around 9:30pm and Hussam was very patient and accommodating nonetheless. Our driver was also amazing! He was very kind and made sure we were well hydrated and even brought us snacks. If you are only in Egypt for a short time and want to hit the main attractions, this tour definitely does that.

Ibrahim, our tour guide, and ___ our driver, formed an exceptional team. Their seamless communication ensured a smooth and enjoyable day. Ibrahim’s perdonable and engaging nature made the experience informative and enjoyable. He took National Geographic pictures and knew all the picture spots, poses, and so on. The camel lead, Mohammed, was also funny and treated us like royalty. We had fun, he took amazing pictures, and most importantly, he made for an unforgettable camel ride experience. The driver was confident, kind, and ensured our safety. The Pyramid rooftop lunch was an excellent experience. The owner’s prompt and patient responses to our questions helped us make a well-informed decision and ensured a pleasant experience.

Sham gave me such a great tour of the Pyramids of Giza and Spinx, that I hired her again to take me on a tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Sham made the tour of the museum very meaningful by adding extra history and context that would be lost without a guide. I strongly recommend hiring Sham to show you around the GEM.

We had a private driver and a private tour guide through GEMStone Explore tours. Our entry tickets to the Museum and Pyramids/ Sphinx’s was included in our package as well. Paying more money for this package was well worth it! I forgot our driver’s name, but he was very nice and a very good driver in Egypt”s crazy traffic. (LOL). He had a new car that was clean and well maintained. He also provided both my husband and I with a bottled water. Our amazing tour guide, Mahmoud, was excellent. He walked us through the newer GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum) at our pace and shared the history and background information on several artifacts. We spent about three hours there and he never rushed us! From there we went to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx. We spent about two hours, which was wonderful! On our way out, we stopped at an on-sight coffee shop for light refreshments and snacks. We also checked out a couple of their on-sight shops which were priced very reasonably! As you exit the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx are we purchased a few small souvenirs at the locals small market. Please keep your money out of sight as you will be approached constantly, but Mahmoud was very protective and kept a good eye on the both of us, which we greatly appreciated! After this we went to the paper making and perfume oil shops which are beside each other. Somewhat reasonable prices and we spent money at both places. The designs of art work on their hand made paper were stunning and they glow in the dark with a different design. We couldn’t resist the beautiful pieces and purchased two that we will frame and hang in our home. They also can add your name(s) in Hieroglyphics which will be verified by you before purchasing! After these stops we opted to not goto the Bizarre as we were tired and we spent our time in the places we chose that meant the most to us during our visit! We learn a lot about Egyptian history and culture! Highly recommend this coming and team. Thank you to this wonderful team. We highly recommend and would use them again in the future.
