Full-Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, and Saqqara

This tour exceeded our expectations by far. Our Guide, Mohamed and our driver Waheed were incredible. They picked us up very punctually to start the tour and took us to all the places in a very comfortable and air-conditioned car (something important and worth appreciating on hot days in Cairo). Mohamed knows a lot, his Spanish is excellent and he also took the time to explain everything to us in detail, he was always attentive to answering our questions and gave us time to enjoy each place and take photos. he is really very patient. Despite the chaos that exists on the streets of Cairo and how crazy their drivers are, Waheed always made us feel safe and confident that we would reach our destinations. He is the best driver in all of Cairo and very friendly, his English is perfect and he was all the time waiting to drop us off and pick us up at each part of the tour so that we avoided the sun and did not have to walk so much. They are an excellent duo! very friendly people who made us feel comfortable and from whom we learned a lot. if you take this tour, ask for Mohamed and Waheed, they are the best persons to make you live an unforgettable experience in Egypt!

Here's the thing - it's difficult to review this as anything less than a great experience, because it truly was good. Ahmed was our tour guide and he was great - he was knowledgeable and efficient, he took us through the tour exactly as we wanted and tried to add more experiences for us on top of that. Ahmed (another guy) was our driver and a true gentleman, and managed to really add to our day without speaking much English at all. However, Ahmed the tour guide had us stop at the usual oil shop and jewellery shop that you hear all about when you're touring Egypt, but unfortunately for us it was our first day and we were none the wiser and so we bought some things. This would sting less had Ahmed not specifically told us various lies about how he wanted to help us get the best prices etc - in one shop, as we attempted to haggle with the shopkeeper, he actually told us to stop haggling (we know now that he was getting commission from these sales!). We attempted to contact Emo Tours about the situation but needless to say, were ignored, so we had to move on and bear the loss! But if you do the tour - and the tour is great! - make sure to firmly refuse any side visits to any shops, they are quite literally out to get you!

The guide was not good. He didn’t even tell us that we could go inside the Saqdara pyramids. He also was in a hurry to finish and let us go. I wish I could get my money back.

AMAZING !! Attiya (Tour guide) was very knowledgeable and passionate about history. Ahmed (driver) very professional and friendly. Both were very accommodating and full of knowledge to share. Highly recommend this to anyone.

My guide, Marwa, was incredible. She is knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. She made the tour efficient and a great experience!

Comprehensive and accurate information provided by our guide Mahmoud, punctual compliance between announced program and performance.

Mahmoud was exceptional. He knew everyone local and was known to be the best guide around. We traveled to each spot, where he spent ample time in each place to help us understand the historical importance of each place and explained the arts and culture. He was jovial and energetic, even when the weather turned hot in the afternoon. Ahmed the driver was also super friendly and helpful. My brother and I felt like we truly enjoyed the trip to Cairo and its culture and cuisine from this tiny one day trip.

Afifi was an amazing guide and Mohammed was an excellent driver! We had such a great day. This tour had everything we wanted when it came to pyramids. Afifi took tons of great pictures for us and told us what to expect every step of the way.

Osama was an excellent guide for a wonderful day exploring the pyramids! The driver and lunch were an added bonus!

We had a great day at the Giza pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis and Saqqara. We were picked up on time at our hotel by Tolba who was friendly and drove well. Our tour guide Mahmoud El-Wakeel was polite and provided a comprehensive history of the sites we visited. He also gave us ample time to take pictures at the different locations, and advised on how we could avoid vendors. The lunch at the restaurant was wonderful. The tour was a little rushed due to the shorter opening times during Eid, but overall we had a great day and would recommend to others.
