This trip exceeded my expectations. The guide Mimo was very knowledgeable and gave excellent tips to maximise our time there. Our driver, Saeed, was also excellent. We got to see the pyramids from the best angles for great photos and were able to avoid most of the crowds. Would definitely recommend this trip.

We were a family of 5 and had a great private tour. I would absolute recommend it! Our tour guide Sameh, who was a Egyptologist at the University of Cairo, was very knowledgeable. His English was good a he was very accommodative so we customized a perfect day! It was worth every penny.

We went on a private tour with Mona. She recommended going inside the pyramids and it was a great experience. She protected us from touts and made sure we were safe during the tour. She is a great photographer and took lots of great photos for us. I highly recommend her tour.

The hotel pick-up and drop-off was also flexible, making it a very comfortable pyramid tour. Our guide, Mona, was very attentive to our needs. She picked the right location and angle for the photo spots and took some great photos. We were also taken to a local food restaurant for lunch, which we were very satisfied with. The driver also opened and closed the doors smoothly, so the journey was very smooth. We paid an additional fee to go inside Khufu's Pyramid, but I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't suffer from claustrophobia. However, it was extremely hot, like a sauna, so be prepared. Still, it was a great experience!! I wish we could have spent a little longer riding the camels...
