We totally recommend
We recommend 100%. Our guide Doaa and the driver were the best with us; picking us up directly from home, giving us all the explanations during the tours, giving us many tips for the rest of our stay, with a lot of patience and even overflowing on the scheduled schedule. It was a magical moment.

Faraos come alive
Very interesting tour with passionate and open minded guide Mimo who knows a lot (everything and everyone) and he has a direct answer to all your questions. Faraos and their live(s) comes alive on this tour. Talks sometimes very quick, so be attentive because he will tell it only once.

Pyramid Tour
Mimo was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and great fun to be with. He also took some amazing photos and compiled a video for us. Thank you so much. The camel ride was really fun. However, it would have been helpful to have a better understanding of the tipping system, as it was our first day, and we felt the camel man certainly insisted on a huge tip, in addition to paying for the ride. Nevertheless, we would highly recommend Mimo.

A big "thank you" from Jordan to our professional tour guide Doaa ❤️
We had a wonderful experience visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx with our tour guide, Doaa. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient with our group, which included several students, teachers, and the school principal from Jordan. Doaa explained the history in a clear and engaging way, answered all our questions, and ensured that everyone felt comfortable and informed throughout the tour. She has also took amazing photos for us 😍 We truly appreciate her warm personality and excellent guidance. Highly recommended!

Mimo Viator Tour guided me on the Pyramids Tour today. He amazed me with his experience as a guide, explaining the history of the Pyramids to me, especially since it was my first time visiting Egypt. He was very patient and knowledgeable. I give him 5 stars for his professionalism. Thank you, Mimo, and I hope to have you as my tour guide again if I return to Egypt. I recommend him to everyone!
