My tour guide was Mohamed Hamed with Mekawy as driver. The trip exceeded expectations. Mohamed is very professional: he speaks perfect English and has in-depth knowledge in Egyptology. But what was even more important for me as a solo traveler, Mohamed was also a great companion. In addition to showing all the highlights and giving background knowledge we also had phylosophical discussions related to Egypt. Since he know that I am open to experience the local people and culture, I was invited to have a tea + snacks with his friends who work at the pyramid complex. Overall, instead of being another tourist who came to take pictures of the pyramids it was more like having a trip with a local friend and spending good time. I am not sure about the other guides at this company but with Mohamed a great trip is guaranteed.

Visiting the pyramids is a once in a lifetime experience. Trying to enter the park on your own can be stressful and possibly ruin the moment. Therefore, going with a private tour while is more costly ensures your peace and safety during the trip. Our guide Ali, was sharp and on time, had good knowledge of the history, took great pictures, and ensured our safety at the park. Pickup and drop off right from our hotel was great as well.

Our guide Mohamed Hamed was knowledgeable and excellent. We explained to him that this was not our first visit to the pyramids, having been here 20 years ago, we wanted an overview and take some photos. He respected our request and whilst he gave us a brief history, added to the experience by relating anecdotes about the area, it's people and other details that one would only learn from a local. It's a short tour of the pyramids and syphnx, good for anyone who has limited time and wants a good overview.
