Incredible Experience!
Mostafa and his team were simply incredible! I travel the world on business and like to sprinkle in the occasional solo side trip. This trip was to see the pyramids by myself. I must say my trip actually started off on the wrong foot when I planned on using Uber from the airport (big mistake!). But thats a review for Uber lol. HOWEVER, as soon as I began working with Mostafa everything changed. He handled every professionally, was extremely responsive and supportive. He was not only a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, he also helped coordinate all of my future travel arrangements. I strongly recommend that you use his services. My only mistake was not using him sooner. Thank you Mostafa! You and your team helped make my first trip to Egypt fun, safe and enjoyable!

A Childhood Dream Realized: My Unforgettable Pyramids & Sphinx Adventure
Standing in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza, I was transported back to my childhood – to the days when my mother took me to watch that mesmerizing Egypt cartoon. Back then, I’d marvel at animated mummies, towering pyramids, and powerful queens, never imagining I’d one day witness them in person. This tour didn’t just meet those childhood dreams; it *shattered* them with its awe-inspiring reality!

Good but too short with a commercial push at the end
Driver and tour guide were good but the visit was realy too short vs what was planned and instead they drive us to some partner boutique, they are nice but it's mainly because they will get a bonus on all the amount you buy.
And before that, they will force you to put five stars on the TripAdvisor app
Operator response
Dear Jeremie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re glad to hear that you found both the driver and tour guide to be good, but we’re truly sorry to learn that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments about the shortened visit and the pressure to visit shops are taken very seriously. This is not the standard we aim to uphold.
We also want to emphasize that while we appreciate honest reviews, no guest should ever feel pressured to leave a rating. We are committed to creating enjoyable and respectful experiences, and your feedback will help us reinforce this with our team.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Warm regards,
The Travel Door Tours Team

Great Introduction to Cairo with a Thoughtful Guide
Fawzy was a punctual and knowledgeable guide.
He took us to the pyramids and the Sphinx, organized a short camel ride, and shared key insights about these iconic landmarks. Throughout the day, he gave us helpful tips on how to interact respectfully with locals, which we really appreciated.
We then visited a workshop for perfumes and essential oils, followed by lunch at a decent (albeit touristy) buffet.
Fawzy also kindly negotiated our transfer with the driver, and since we had some time left, he suggested a quick visit to a local souk.
A smooth, well-paced tour — perfect for a first introduction to Cairo!

Exceeded expectations!
Gamil was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and shared lots of really interesting info as we went round the pyramids and then the sphinx. He took lots of stunning arty photos for us on our phones and made this a great climax to our holiday in Egypt. Thanks Gamil and our driver and Travel Door Tours!😃

Highly recommended
Amira Ezzat has been an excellent guide! The tour we recommend without a doubt. We have toured the pyramids and the sphinx as well as some shops in which they perform natural papyri and perfumes among others.
