- Breana M0 contributionsPryamids with AdelGreat time seeing the Pryamids. Adel was such a knowledgeable and fun guide! Certainly a day I will never forget!Written 6 February 2020
- MDee110 contributionsFantastic!The tour was fantastic! It wasn't too long even though we covered a lot of ground in one day. I received a lot of great information and took some great pics. My guide was Amal. She is sweet, kind, professional and most importantly, she is knowledgeable on all things Ancient Egyptian. She is also a good photographer if you are like me and traveling alone. She was able to answer my many random questions too. The driver, Karim, arrived with Amal at my hotel to pick me up in the morning and off we went on an adventure of my lifetime. He is a very good driver and I felt safe with him. We went to the Giza Plateau, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis City. Amal was very kind and stopped and got me lunch on the way back to the hotel as it was getting late (even though in the morning she had already given me snacks for the trip). Lunch was falafel sandwiches and lunch was great! Also before we went back to the hotel she and Karim were kind enough to stop at a convenience stop so I could purchase some drinks to take back to the hotel with me. Both Amal and Karim were very accommodating and it was appreciated. I would definitely recommend Amal and Karim to anyone for any tour!Written 1 February 2020

The tour of the Museum with Abo was really good and worth the time and money. King Tut’s sarcophagus was the best part by far. It was truly amazing.
The museum is over 100 years old and has tons of artifacts and several different galleries to visit.

I did the private tour of The Pyramids with my Guide Ola and Driver Mohammed. They did a great job, on time pick up. Very informative. No pressure to go shopping afterwards which happens a lot.
They gave me my distance and time to take photos.
I recommend them.

I started my day with an awful and disappointing visit to the museum. Which was followed by an even worse visit to the Citadel and Coptic areas....
I’ll start by saying I contacted the tour company to add an afternoon tour to the museum. They suggested visiting these other places for.... 80 US DOLLARS. At the time I thought ok that’s expensive but it’s all day. It has to include food or something and it’ll be nice like my previous days visit (with a different company to the pyramids.) It was only after the museum that I realized they scheduled me a tour of a mosque on a Friday at midday. FYI they have prayer at noon on fridays for A. LONG. TIME!!! We sat outside in the wind and the dust for awhile. I am now sunburnt and wind beaten. Afterwards I was shown inside the mosques. They were beautiful but something was missing. The guide lacked some gusto or knowledge of history and all he talked about were columns and domes.... constantly. Columns and domes. I get it ok.
Next. The real fun began. We went to the Coptic churches.... do not go to the Coptic churches with a guide who is new (he told me several times) who doesn’t know a thing about Christianity. Or maybe it was his English. I don’t know. It was bad. I asked him a question about the church looking like a mosque and I think he said something about a dome or a column.
I did something bad when I got back to my hotel. I refused to pay the $80 and went to my room. The tour operator began to text me, I told him my complaints. And then no surprise.... he said well what about $60.... then $50. That’s when I knew that this tour was worth $15 or $10. Maybe.
I’m not some rich American piggy bank. I worked and saved my money for months to come here. I find that the Egyptian people see tourists from the west as being rich and wealthy. In fact the tour guide told me that people in America are rich. Uh no. There’s a homelessness crisis in every city.
I feel very taken advantage of and I encourage everyone to try and avoid using a guide. Although it seems like it might be difficult the way the Egyptian government had private vehicle checkpoints.
Go to Greece. Much more tourist friendly.

We really enjoyed our tour and the guide was first rate - excellent English and very helpful. I will be recommending your company to friends in the future. had a magnificent time in Egypt! All of the tour guides were great and knowledgeable. I'd like to especially acknowledge Mohsen, the tour leader and Ahmed, the tour guide. They definitely took time to handle our interests. They were also accomodating and fun to be around. What a very good group of people! Egypt Sightseeing Tours is a company I will recommend to others in the next future.
