Took my mom for her birthday and honestly, it was EPIC. Our guide Samira had soooo many stories, I felt like I was walking through history with a friend. We laughed a lot (mom made her snort with a random camel joke). It was crowded but Samira steered us around the big groups. Sun was beating down but they passed out cold water which saved us. Only tricky bit: the museum line moved at snail speed for a while, but honestly worth the wait. The driver even waited for us when we were like 20 min late. Def recommend, esp if you’re into quirky facts and random snack stops.

Bossi was great and the trip was well organised. They picked me up on time from the hotel and Bossi and the driver were gracious and made sure we were well informed about the pyramids and everything in the museum. The kept us all informed to make sure we don't get scammed and where to buy and where not, but still i got due to my negligence but for money I don't care a lot about. Overall great and highly recommended

Did the tour as a solo traveller, and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. Turned out to be really chill. Guide (Omar) had jokes and knew his pharaohs. Pyramids were BUSY but he managed to get us thru without much waiting. Lunch was a bit basic, but those falafels? 10/10. Only minus: wish we could’ve spent more time at the Sphinx, felt kinda rushed tbh. Still learned loads and left with sand in my shoes.

    Came with my partner for our anniversary, and wow—never thought I’d be THAT person who tears up at ancient stuff but here we are. Our guide, Karim, was super patient (I ask too many questions). Cairo traffic is NUTS but our driver handled it like a pro. Also loved the tiny papyrus shop detour, even though I was skeptical at first. Got a little keychain for grandma. Long day but every minute felt special.

    Our family of four (kids 11 and 13) loved every minute. Our guide, Fatma, was beyond amazing. She kept the kids engaged with riddles and stories about ancient curses. Museum was a bit overwhelming but she showed us the highlights. Pro tip: bring extra snacks for the little ones, the tour is LONG. Traffic back to hotel was wild, but we all napped in the van. Seriously the best day of our trip.

    The pyramids are certainly one of the most important sights in the world. What made it even better as an experience was the tour with Ibrahim who not only knew in depth The history of Egypt and neighboring countries, but he also has a unique way of making the tour look like a movie trailer, giving you a feeling that You are part of that era. In two words, exciting experience
  • From the Magnificent Pyramids to a Hearty Lunch

    Get picked up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by your guide and enjoy the drive to the Pyramids of Giza. Look out the window and admire Egypt’s fantastic art deco, great shopping areas bustling with people, and great roads. A sense of awe is what you will feel as soon as you arrive at your destination and witness the beauty of the incredible pyramids. Listen to interesting historic facts about these pyramids like how each one, Cheops, Chephren & Mykerinos—corresponds to the kings for whom they were built. In addition, you will also visit the Sphinx, the majestic statue, the largest in the world, that stands as a guardian outside the funeral complex with its lion body and the head of King Chephren, from the 4th Dynasty. Your guide will then lead you to the Valley Temple, home to Pharaoh Khafre, built in the mid-to-late 26th century BC. It is built of limestone and faced with polished Aswan granite which still gives it a very refined look. Take a lunch break inside a local restaurant that will serve you a complete Egyptian meal.

    After relishing a delicious meal, enter the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities which houses over 120,000 masterpieces, ranging from the pre-dynastic era to the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman periods. See and learn about the treasures of King Tutankhamun, the king of the 18th Dynasty.

    Shopping on the Streets of Khan El Khalili Bazaar

    No trip to Egypt would be complete without a visit to the Khan El Khalili Bazaar. The bazaar is what a typical market should be like. It is loud, crowded, colorful, and exciting—full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. Take home fresh spices of any variety, the best perfumes, and essential oils. The more you explore, the luckier you get at finding interesting pieces of antiques. The tour ends with you getting dropped off at your hotel.
