Our guide Ayman and driver communicated in advance and we’re bang on time. Ayman gave us a very informative tour of the Pyramids and also took photographs for us, knowing the ideal spots and angles for images. We hadn’t booked camels but he suggested a camel ride which we did and it was fun plus it gave us great views of the pyramids from the desert. We also visited the Sphinx, but declined the papyrus shop trip because we just aren’t interested in that shopping experience. Highly recommend

We had a very good trip with our guide. The guide gave us good information before we went to the pyramids and also helped us throughout by taking us to the right places, asked the right ppl to take pics or do the camel ride etc. At the end also took us to a food place that matched what we wanted. He also helped us get to the airport on time with the driver. The driver was very polite and professional as well and we are very happy with the whole trip.

This was a last minute spontaneous trip planned by us at 10pm for the next day and we are so glad we did it. Our tour guide Esraa was really good and accommodated us from the arrangement of airport collection and throughout the day. I would recommend book everything online including the collection from the airport or your hotel straight to the meeting point at pyramids to avoid the haggling with street traders.
