Saber was such a great guide. He made me feel really safe and comfortable as a solo traveller and nothing was too much for him. He literally bent over backwards to get me good photos, and didn’t stop working from the moment I was picked up to the moment I was dropped off. I would 100% recommend doing the pyramids this way because not once was I bothered by people trying to sell me things or provide services whilst saber was with me. He is very knowledgeable about the pyramids also, and it’s an obvious passion for him. Also, I booked very last minute - and they still accomodated me and arrived
Super expérience dans l'ensemble. La Guide francophone était disponible et sympathique. Impressionnant les Pyramides. Le Sphinx méga impressionnant en vrai. Le plateau de Gizeh regorge de pyramides et d'histoires. A faire absolument. Guide francophone pas évident. Il faut donc s'y prendre tôt.
h, got it! Here’s a revised version: “ I went on a group guided tour, and our tour leader was Bassant. She was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. She made our visit to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx really unforgettable. Thank you, Bassant!”
Ehab was great. Very good tour guide and dropped us off in central Cairo as we asked instead of our hotel. Great tour, pyramids are amazing!
We had door to door service which helped take the stress away of having to book a taxi, a bit of a mission if you have no WiFi. Tour guide was a true historian and knew his stuff, lots of fun facts provided which added to the overall experience. Could have spent more time walking around as lots to see but it was fine. Didn't know the inclusive price didn't include a tour around all 9 pyramids so had to pay extra for that! Plus all the tips!! In hindsight, we could have done a DIY job and saved a few pounds.
I booked this tour due to the simple itinerary, wanting to visit the pyramids and sphinx and learn about their history. Unfortunately, two compulsory factory visits were added to the tour itinerary. Despite requesting that we skip these as they were not advertised, I was forced to attend the first as my bag was still on the tour bus and I was not allowed to retrieve it until after the visit. This first visit consisted of a 25-minute-long sales pitch on essential oils. I managed to escape before the second, but had to organise my own transport back to the hotel, as transport would only be provi
