Pablo – Spain

Our guide Kholud, who gave us the tour of the pyramids, was amazing — very friendly and approachable. She explained everything interesting about the history of the pyramids and the Sphinx, and always adapted to what we needed or preferred. Without a doubt, we would repeat the experience with her every time we come to Egypt. We 100% recommend her.

The tour was great, the guide was very informative. Only downside was the bathroom issue. We paid to get into the facility, the bathroom shouldn't cost extra.

The tour was apt for 4-5 hrs.. covered the pyramids of giza and sphinx. Our tour guide - Ms. Basant (meaning Flower🌸) is excellent. Her knowledge about the place and hostorical knowledge is commendable. She is patient and she did not rush at any point of time. Answered all our questions and calmed our curiosity. She is also a very good human who can just go out of way to help you. I can not thank her more for all her guidance and making trip to the Giza a memorable one. I will certainly remember Basant whenever I will talk about Pyraminds and Egypt. The tour company is also very professional and cooperating. Very satisfied with the service i received. Thank you
