Excursion privée d’une journée avec guide à la pyramide de Gizeh, au musée égyptien, Khan al-Khalili

We were up & ready early for our memorable all inclusive tour to the pyramids & museum but no one showed up. There was absolutely no communication from the company ( Let's Explore Egypt) & the numbers provided are not working so we had no way of contacting anyone to ask what is happening. So beware, this company is a scam!

It was great to see major attractions of Cairo in a day but the experience with the guide was disappointing. They had good reviews so I was expecting more but they delivered below expectations. I was supposed to be picked up at 8AM. I received a text from my guide at 810am that because "it is crowded", they will pick me up at 9am, good start! When I sat in the car, usually the tour starts with what we are going to do today. But our conversation started with when I am leaving and if I need a RTPCR test which they can provide for a fee. Before starting the camel ride my guide, Sarah, said you "should tip" the camel guy (pressure). I nodded. After the ride, she asked me "did you tip?" I said yes. Then she asked me "how much did you tip". I had to tell her that it shouldnt concern her. This was a very awkward and uncomfortable moment. I have traveled a lot, never a guide asks a question as direct as this with pressure built in. During a discussion on Wonders of the world, she said "Taj mahal" is not one of the 7 wonders of the world! I guess it depends on which wonder-list one follows! Not a big deal, but the tour lists bottle water provided but it was not. I had my own water bottle. Included lunch was just ok. For vegetarian, rice, fries and grilled vegetables. 2 slices of orange and Guava for desert. Overall, disappointed experience.

Wouldn’t recommend if you’ve done your research prior to visiting and are more interested in taking pictures to enjoy the moments. We felt rushed, we were lectured in the heat, & the tour guide clearly took us to family/ friends businesses for purchasing and even stated not to buy from street vendors so we didn’t “waste our money there” …. Uhm why not ? If I have an interest in what they’re offering, I can spend my money with them. We do fine with bargaining and negotiating prices as we travel a lot and are well versed in that area. We know when people are trying to get over on us and honestly could’ve maneuvered through out the day without a guide. Overall, we were happy to be in Egypt and enjoyed the mere thought and physical being of being enriched in history … so that filled my partner and I with joy. As far as my recommendations for younger couples …. book a personal driver for the day if you’re looking for a more relaxed experience.

The day started off a bit rocky since at the last minute the guide messages me not once but twice to change the time with no real explanation to why. We accommodated and got ready and met him at the designated time. He was friendly and informed us why we would be changing the order of the day a bit. We headed to the museum and enjoyed seeing the mummies with some additional history from the museum. We then headed to lunch which was very tasty. Next we went to the pyramids and I wished he did a bit better with the photos but I was a bit thrown off by him asking how much we tipped the camel guide. He then later became even more offensive by asking about who we voted for and going on about how great a president trump was. As 2 Black women who as a demographic votes against trump but 96% in 2016 and 92% in 2020 he should have know this would probably be inappropriate if not simply offensive. He then pushed us at the perfume shop to make a purchase which we later found out he gets a commission from and convinced us not to go to the bazaar saying it was just rubbish there which we later found out was not true. Overall I enjoyed what we saw but wish we had a different guide.

We were here with limited time. This tour made it possible for us to see as much as we could in a short amount of time. Our guide and the driver were friendly and early to pick us up which i liked. I enjoyed visiting the different sites and trying the authentic Egyptian food.

What an awesome day with our guide Mohamed Mahmoud. We have him and a private car all day to visit the best parts of Cairo. We have very limited time but the tour included everything we want to see. Pick up was prompt and we can customize the experience and control the time we spent at each site. He even got us into the mosque we were really interested in which is not on the itinerary. We were able to ask a lot of questions about the history and culture and share our insights with him. He is genuine really care about the customers. He helped us fend off aggressive merchants and got us delicious mango smoothie and juice. I would use this company again and request Mohamed if I have more time in Cairo.

Awesome tour!!! The guide, Hima, was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I wouldn highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Hima 👍👍👍

I took this tour in the middle of Covid, November of last year. Waleed was a fantastic guide. He is such a nice guy, you will enjoy the conversation and he knows the area very well. He paid attention to details, often asked if there was anything else you were interested in and I felt like the whole tour was almost customized to me. We visited all of the major sites noted but at a leisurely pace. Waleed is a very intelligent young man and I enjoyed talking to him about his family, life in Egypt and some of the history from an Egyptian point of view. When I go back, I will definitely use his services again and if you are traveling there, I would recommend you do also.
