Pretty good tour of the pyramids
Tour was good, we saw a lot of different places. At times it felt a bit rushed, because we went to some "shows" trying to sell things that we don't want. Overall, if less time spent at these stores and more time at the pyramids (which is why we booked), that would have been better.
Thank you guide Ahmed and driver Mahmoud!

An Unforgettable Day in Egypt with Ehab & George
I had the great pleasure of spending a day with Ehab, my tour guide, and George, my driver, exploring the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara, and I couldn’t recommend the experience more.
From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, warm and incredibly welcoming. Ehab was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and guided me through these extraordinary sites without ever making the day feel overly formal or structured. It was relaxed, easy and genuinely enjoyable.
I was traveling solo, and having a knowledgeable local guide and private driver made the entire day seamless and absolutely worth it. Starting early was also perfect—we explored the pyramids before the worst of the heat, and I was still back at my hotel with plenty of time to relax by the pool later that afternoon.
One tip: dress comfortably because you’ll do plenty of walking, but also wear something you feel good in—the photos you take here are ones you’ll want to keep forever.
A truly memorable bucket-list day made even better by Ehab and George. Highly recommend!

Great tour of the Pyramids of Giza
Ahmed was an outstanding tour guide and made our day in Cairo truly memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing fascinating insights about the history, culture, and landmarks we visited. Beyond his expertise, he was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had the best possible experience.
What stood out most was his flexibility and attentiveness. He adapted the day to our interests, took excellent care of us throughout the tour, and made everything feel effortless and stress-free. His warm personality and local knowledge helped us get much more out of our visit than we would have on our own.
I would highly recommend Ahmed to anyone visiting Cairo. He made the experience enjoyable, easy, and unforgettable.

Great tour- great tour guide.
Ehab was our guide again for our second tour. This time we started at Saqqara, then went to Memphis and ended the day at the pyramids and Sphinx. Ehab again made some of the trickier parts of the tour easy. Ehab navigated purchasing all of the tickets. He helped us through long lines. He made a great recommendation to go into a tomb at Saqqara. He didn't come in, but organized a local guide to go with me as my husband was claustrophobic. I felt safe and looked after. He explained the history very well and answered all of my questions. Again, I did not feel rushed but we kept a good pace. Shopping was offered along the way . We declined some options, choosing only to go to the carpet school. There is a bit of pressure to buy something but instead I tipped the children who were at the school learning.
Ehab was a great guide and knew just the right places to get photos. He also recommended a camel ride at the pyramids...don't miss this, even if it's just for a great souvenir picture.
Again, I recommend this tour and Ehab.
Be prepared to "grease the wheels" of the economy. Tipping, even a small amount, is a nice gesture to say thank you to people who help make your day go well. Eg camel driver, toilet attendant, local who takes a photo etc.
Also tipping your driver and guide is customary and a nice thing to do. They work hard to give you a great experience.
