The great pyramid of Cheops is considered the only wonder of the seven wonders of the Ancient World that still survives, and it dates back to about 2500 B.C. From far away, the pyramid of his son, Chephren, looks higher than the pyramid of Cheops since it was built on higher ground. The pyramid of his grandson, Mycerinus, is partially cased with granite blocks. The Great Sphinx is attributed to King Chephren and is considered the Guardian of the Giza plateau; many stories claim it was built by the Aliens or the people of Atlantis. You can all these significant buildings you will visit with a qualified Egyptologist tour guide on this private tour.

Mimo is the best!
Fantastic tour with Mimo! He is so knowledgeable and entertaining! We could not have had a better experience with another tour guide. So much fun and educational too! His driver Ali was also excellent in the Giza traffic. Would do it all over again with Mimo!

We had fun
We had a great time with our tour guide Michael and we were well looked after. Both Michael and the driver were flexible towards our needs as we were traveling with a 3 year old child. Michael was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt and modern day Cairo. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the tour a lot and would recommend it.

Best tour in the world
This is the best tour in the world.
A professional, friendly guide, mImo gives us a wonderful tour. And a safe, kind driver, Ibrahim takes us to the real Egypt.
We can experience what we want to in Egypt in a day, such as Pyramids, camels, perfumes, Papyrus, Tutankhamen in the museum, basaal, and so on. Mimo is so special that he has a variety of recommendation but we can still choose what we really want to.
Thanks to them, our trip was brilliant.

Really enlightening
My experience with Memo was nothing short of amazing! I had a wonderful time! As a guide, Memo is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations. Hamada, my driver also did a great job getting us everywhere on time. They both made me feel welcome and at home. Nothing but good things to say about my experience. Would 100% recommend if you’re dealing with Memo and Hamada!

Great Great Tour guide and Great Person
Mimo was the best tour guide. If it wasnt for Mimo we wouldnt not had the best experience we had because you need a SUPERB tour guide to visit the great pyramids of Giza! If not the harrasment will be crazy. Mimo explained all the history of all Egyptian pyramids and answered every question we had. He became a friend to us he is a great guy overall!

Great experience and great tour guide.
My best experience of the tour, besides the beautiful and astonishing monuments, the kind people and the camels, was our tour guide who welcomed us and made us feel at home, he provided an intense experience that was enjoyable as well as informative. His name was Mimo and we can’t forget the best driver we’ve had this far. Ibrahim. I highly recommend them for any tour.

Top hike!
Strada tour recommended! Mimmo and Ibrahim picked us up from the hotel and accompanied us to amazing places! In addition to the planned stops we were in some local shops of papyri, perfumes and cotton!
Great lunch overlooking the pyramids!
Mimmo is a very prepared guide!

Great time at the sphinx and the pyramids
The tour was great with Mimo and Mohammed. Recommend doing it and going early in the evening to avoid the crowds.

I had a wonderful time learning from an Egyptologist, Mimo and our driver Yaser.
Great accommodation and superb history lesson from an Egyptologist! The restaurant they selected served excellent food and the bonus stops at the end were also much appreciated! I felt very safe as a solo female traveler and had so much fun.
