“This tour was nothing short of AMAZING. We had the best time with our photographer aka our photographer aka Habibi, and were laughing non stop. He was knowledgeable about the sites, but kept everything entertaining. Plus, he took the most amazing photos EVER. And took hundreds of them!! They look like they were taken with a professional camera! He answered all of our questions about the area and the culture, and we left the day feeling like we…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“Our photographer was a brilliant host. He met us at the hotel (private car with driver and guide) and from the first second was warm and friendly. His English is basically native, and as a result was the best guide we had on our entire trip to Egypt. What I liked the most about the tour was the speed and clarity. These sorts of tours can be slow and boring, but our photographer was brilliant. We loved that he kept it moving, knew where to take…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“Experience is exactly as expected and the positive reviews are accurate. This was an unforgettable experience and a perfect end to our time in Egypt. Our photographer was an excellent guide and taught us a lot about the pyramids as well as more recent Egyptian history. He took some great pictures for us and was very patient. The driver was very accommodating. The organisation was smooth and the ATVs were fun. Our only criticism would be aimed at…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“Me and my two friends had an absolute blast with our guide. This was hands down one of the best tourist adventures I’ve been on personally. Our guide picked us up in the morning with great knowledge of the history of Egypt and specially Cairo. The entire experience felt unreal because of the pyramids. The camel ride was amazing. We also had some surprise stops at an aromatherapy store and a store that uses the material ancient Egypt used as…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“Absolutely amazing day with our photographer and the others. Very personalized and the whole experience was comfortable and fun. They picked me up from the hotel in a nice air conditioned car (which drove us the entire day so I could keep my stuff in the car) and we first went to the pyramids. Our photographer explained all the history and gave options as to what to see and what tickets can be purchased (outside only, or option to go inside the…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“This was one of the best portion of our “Girls Trio Egypt “ trip. You have to do this tour. It was well worth the money. You learn, eat, have fun and make new friends along the way. The driver was also amazing. The tour guide was so patient and took the best pictures. He advocated for us getting the best prices. We each started the tour empty handed, and left with a full stomach and paintings, clothes and jewelry we bought along the tour. He was…”Read the full review on Airbnb

“Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and an amazing tour guide. He made our experience behind comforting and relaxing from the movement of our pickup. Pickup was on time and moving seamless through the day. Enjoyed every part of the tour and IT IS A MUST. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did had I not booked this tour. Again this tour with the guide is a MUST.”

Although I didn’t plan on my budget to bring extra funds for the unexpected trips, it put us in a weird position when we ran out of tip money. My only suggestion is the authentic Egyptian food was a take away we ate in the car. We would’ve enjoyed a little place to eat at. But overall Wale is a great tour guide and great…”Read the full review on Airbnb

From the camel ride to the history of the pyramids to the ATV ride, we had the best day ever covering all that we wanted to at the Pyramids and around. Our guide made us feel welcomed right from the start. He was a great storyteller and really tailored our experience to our liking. Our guide went over and beyond what we expected and it is an experience we will never forget!”

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and we got to talk about many deep things, even further than the history of Egypt, like modern politics, the West's misconceptions, and religion. During times like this, with the war going on, it's refreshing to feel so safe, connected, and educated with people so far from home.

We were picked up at our apartment by a driver and then met our guide, our photographer, who was very knowledgeable and made the visit to the pyramids interesting and fun despite the hot weather. The only disappointment was the camel ride — it lasted barely 10 minutes just for taking pictures and cost an extra $10, which felt overpriced. Before that, they took us to buy scarves for the…”Read the full review on Airbnb

There’s also an option to ride the camels and buy reasonably priced headwraps. I bought 2 for $30USD. The ATV tour was also really fun but you will want a face covering as it gets very dusty on the ride. Entry fees were not included. Very friendly people.

I ended up being the only one on the tour, and our guide (from our guide’s group) was my guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area—you could tell it runs in her blood.
