We had an amazing time with Sameh! He took the time to educate us all things Egypt. His passion for Egyptology translated to us becoming scholars as well. He walked us through the history of the pyramids and of Egypt thoroughly. He made sure that we stayed hydrated and fed throughout the tour. Thank you so much for making our trip memorable Sameh!

We did the pyramids and sphinx on a half day tour. We didn't do Sakkara.
Excellent tour of the pyramids and sphinx. Our tour guide Mona met us at the hotel and helped us get tickets for the complex. She gave us a really interesting history of the pyramids and took some brilliant photos of us. We went inside the Great Pyramid - which was very airless but amazing to climb. Mona took us to see the other two pyramids and also the smaller ones, and then to a spot for some panoramic shots. Lastly we visited the sphinx.
An excellent half day trip - packed with things to see and with an excellent guide.

Highly recommend this tour. Picked up from our hotel in Giza in the morning by our guide Sameh and spent an enjoyable few hours first at the pyramids and the sphinx before being taken down to Memphis and finally Saqqara. Sameh was friendly and informative and even bought falafel pittas for our lunch. Could not imagine a better way to see all the sights.
