- danieljW884JW0 contributionsAwesome tour, definitely would do it again!Such a great experience! Naveen was our tour guide for two days and she was absolutely amazing!

- W2988QZamandaw0 contributionsThis private tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx was fantasticFrom the moment we were picked up at our hotel, everything was smooth and well-organized. Our Egyptologist guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing insightful details about each site. Riding a camel in the Giza Pyramids area was a highlight, offering a unique and memorable perspective of the ancient wonders. The local lunch of Koshri was delicious and a great way to experience Egyptian cuisine. The air-conditioned minivan was comfortable, and the bottled water provided was much appreciatedWritten 15 September 2024
- F8937JBcarolinam0 contributionsMarco is the best guideMarco was simply an amazing guide with so much knowledge to share. He made our day more than we could have ever imagined taking us to wonderful places we were not even expecting. I recommend this 1000% with MarcoWritten 15 September 2024

- Louisa S0 contributionsThe best possible Giza tourWe had the best day in Cairo on this tour, and Ebrahim was the most amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, patient, kind, and thoughtful. All we had to do was listen and enjoy the day, without any stress or worries. We were able to skip the lines and see everything very efficiently, and our driver Badir was always close by to pick us up so we never had to walk far. Not to mention that Ebrahim is an amazing photographer and took great pictures of us throughout the day. He even gave me some tips to make my own pictures better. I have been interested in Egyptian history for many years, but I still learned so much from Ebrahim during our tour. He made us feel so welcome and gave us so many great tips and insider knowledge about Cairo and Giza. Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed every aspect of the day. Thank you again for such a magnificent experience!Written 13 September 2024
- stevenkB1931LG0 contributionsPerfect VIP tourWe travel the world with new and exciting experiences. I’m normally not a fan of tours, but this one was outstanding. Our guide Marco was informative and extremely helpful. We saw the pyramids from bandage points. No others got to, had a personalized tour of the museum and took us to extraordinarily locations to sample Egyptian culture. Our driver Badir navigated the city expertly and was always there ready to pick us up at our location. We are traveling the world for four months, and this was definitely one of the highlights.Written 12 September 2024
- IVYValkova0 contributionsAmazing experience!Amazing experience! Nevin was our guide and we had a wonderful time exploring the pyramids and surroundings. It was a private tour we took great pictures and made wonderful memories. We did also a camel ride and some shopping. Recommend 100%Written 12 September 2024
- Ramy5910 contributionsAmazing TourThe tour with Nevin was really amazing, she’s very friendly, professional and knows all the hidden gems. It’s not our first time with Nevin, we usually contact them for tours whenever we have any business visits from the states, and all the time we get super positive feedback from them. Thank you so much Nevin for being such professional, friendly and helpful tour guide … keep up the good work 😊Written 11 September 2024

- NorthStar233021661410 contributionsVIP experienceNevin is amazing! We had such a wonderful and low pressure experience. We were able to experience the pyramids in a more intimate way than the other people there! She is an amazing photographer that not only knows the best spots but how to best capture the experience for you. I hope to have a chance to take another tour!Written 8 September 2024
- Deema D0 contributionsRecommended 🙌🏼We loved our visit to Giza Pyramids that we decided to cancel a day to the North Coast and take another trip with Marco to Saqqara, and we don't regret anything. Every tour with Marco is different from the other that we really feel bad we don't have any more time to spend in Egypt. He explains every detail, to a point that you rarely have anything to ask. Super friendly driver, Mohamed Ali. Absolutely recommended.Written 7 September 2024
- 877deemad0 contributionsGreat Package, 10/10 recommendedAmazing package, got to see the pyramids, understand the history and some of the theories behind them. Got to visit the 3 pyramids, the sphynx and walk around the ancient graveyard. Our guide Marcos was so friendly and so professional, full of knowledge and passion to his domain, always patient for any questions, any pit stops, and taking pictures. The driver was as friendly and his driving is super safe. The museum was amazing, going from ancient egypt to modern egypt in details, their gods, kings, coffins, tombs, accessories.. Of course we got to try koshari which is a must try.Written 5 September 2024
- W6887KYkylem0 contributionsAmazing Custom Half Day TourI liked my full day trip with this company so much, I decided to follow up with a half day guided experience the following day. My guide Marco (whom I requested again from the day before) was again nothing short of amazing. He crafted a unique experice for me after discussing what I was interested in. Ultimately I told him I trust you're judgment and let's do what you'd recommend. It was perfect! I am not someone who is normally interested in historical churches or mosques be he told me it would be well worth it. He took me to a lesser known historic mosque with no lines, tourists or beggers. He used a connection to get a special "behind" the scenes tour. We ended our day with the museum where he took time to explain everything in detail. Marco is simply the best and I promise you, if you ask to have him as your guide for any experience you will not be disappointed. I know if I ever make it back to Egypt I am reaching out to him first.Written 4 September 2024

I had wanted to visit Egypt for many years and Nevin has provided me with the perfect introduction to Cairo over my past two visits.
On my first visit I didn’t have much time due to it being a short trip, but Nevin organised a quad bike tour around the desert by the Pyramids of Giza at sunset which was an incredible and unique experience. On my second visit I had longer so I booked a full day tour which included a visit to the pyramids (close enough to touch), a look inside the tomb of Queen Hetepheres, a look around the Sphinx and the Valley Temple. For anyone who’s fascinated by Ancient Egypt, this is a must do! You’ll be in awe in every direction you turn.
In the afternoon Nevin took us to a wonderful perfumery where we were introduced to some stunning fragrances (which is more of an experience than a “hard sell”). The day concluded with a visit to the Egyptian Museum and Nevin provided us with detailed commentary regarding the many beautiful artefacts. Doing this with a guide is invaluable because you will learn and see more than if you went by yourself.
I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Nevin again and she has my full recommendation to anyone visiting Cairo. She is personable, knowledgeable and considerate. Some others will try to compete with “cheaper” prices but beware of this because they’re not a proper tour. if you want someone qualified and invested in making your time special then Nevin is the best guide to choose.

my recent day tour to the Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum with Deluxe Tours Egypt surpassed all expectations and left me awe-inspired. From the seamless booking process to the expertly crafted itinerary, every aspect of this tour was nothing short of exceptional.
The day began with a prompt and comfortable pick-up from my hotel. The friendly and knowledgeable guide introduced themselves and provided an overview of the day's adventure, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable experience.
First stop, the Giza Pyramids! As the iconic structures loomed into view, I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement. The guide masterfully navigated us through the complex, sharing fascinating insights into the history, architecture, and mythology surrounding these ancient wonders. The opportunity to stand in the shadows of the Great Pyramid and witness the enigmatic Sphinx up close was a surreal moment, evoking a profound sense of wonder and respect for the ancient civilization.
After an enjoyable lunch break at a local restaurant, we continued our journey to the renowned Egyptian Museum. The guide skillfully curated the exhibits, shedding light on the remarkable artifacts and stories preserved within its walls. Their passion for Egyptology was evident, as they vividly recounted tales of pharaohs, mummies, and treasures that span millennia.

A sincere thank you to Mohamed Gods for making our first day in Egypt one that we will forever remember with a big smile. He was our guide for a tour of Giza and Sakkara pyramids, and truly exceeded our expectations. He arrived on time, was friendly, engaged, and engineered a perfect day of touring for us. It is also clear that he is very passionate about the extraordinary history of his country, and this passion shone through all day. He is actually currently completing a Master’s degree in Egyptology. His English is excellent, and his humour and good nature are evident.
I must also mention our excellent driver Karim, who navigated Cairo’s daunting traffic with skill and ease, ‘filling the gap’ and always magically appearing right on time to make our day an efficient and hassle-free one.
Lunch was as excellent and memorable.
Mohamed went out of his way to fill our special requests, and made sure we did not miss anything. Notably, he also knew exactly where to suggest for the best vantage points for photographs, and is also skilled at setting up and executing some fun shots that managed to impress my Tik Tok-generation children. While this never occurred to me as important in a tour guide, not having to worry about capturing the day with the best photos possible actually made a big difference to our ability to be in the moment during our tour.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mohamed to anyone looking for an exceptional tour experience, and we will most definitely seek him out if we are ever lucky enough to return to Cairo.

This tour was everything we imagined it to be and more. Our guide Barsoum was in contact with me the day prior to make sure everything was set up, and we had originally planned to start at 8am, but due to arriving on a late flight the day before our tour he suggested a later start and accommodated us to start at 9:30. Barsoum is very educated and passionate about Egypt, which made for a great day. Badr was an excellent driver and got us to each location safely and efficiently in the crazy Egypt traffic. We started the tour with a visit to the Great Pyramids, and enjoyed a long camel ride around the pyramids to the Sphinx. Then we were taken to 3 Pyramids Papyrus Institute where we learned the history and process of making papyrus paper, which was a neat experience. After, we went to Oasis Arromatherapy where we learned about different oils and perfumes. Memphis was a quick stop, and then we headed to Saqqara to see the step pyramid. At the end of the tour, we were taken to a restaurant near the Saqqara pyramid, enjoying a traditional Egyptian meal, where they brought the food to us immediately upon being seated due to Barsoum calling ahead and placing the order. If we had to change anything it would be that we didn’t get “lunch” as advertised in the tour details until 5pm, luckily we brought some of our own snacks, otherwise it would’ve been rough. For planning purposes, we got picked up at 9:30am and were dropped off at 7pm. It was a long day, but one we will never forget!

From the hotel pick up until the end of our tour, this was a perfect day. I couldn’t ask for anything more on a dream trip to see ancient Egypt during my short trip to Cairo. In addition to exploring all of the bucket list sites on the itinerary (Giza pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Alabaster Sphinx, Step pyramid and Sakkara), my guide Nevine truly brought all aspects of life in Egypt alive for me. I learned so much about the culture, geography, history, food and art. She expertly interspersed local coffee breaks, artisan demonstrations, shopping and food in with the sightseeing. Also, I’ve never met a tour guide with a better sense of a photo opp and willingness to play expert photographer. You’ll capture the best pictures of all the sites and have a ton of special and fun pictures of yourself as well. Nevine gets to know you and actively adapts the standard tour to match up with your interests and touring style. You couldn’t ask for a better itinerary and guide when you come to visit!

Nevin is the best tour guide I ever had, I highly recommend her, it is the third time I am doing a tour with her and I will repeat for sure. She is very knowledgeble about Ancient Egyptian culture and she can read hieroglyphics! She is the best at taking pictures and videos that will become your memories for life! You will feel very safe with her. Go to Saqqara with her, she will show you the most beautiful area of Cairo, pyramids, tombs, palm trees in a beautiful desert... Ride the camel called Mickey Mouse and the Donkey called Whisky. Go get your lotus flower oil to smell like Cleopatra. You feel like you go back in time, feeling like Isis goddess around the pyramids and surrounded by hieroglyphics!

From beginning to end, the tour was exceptional. Nevin promptly picked us up at 9:30 am from the St Regis hotel, driving us to Giza while providing informative commentary and patiently answering our numerous questions. Throughout the day, she remained by our side, offering valuable advice on navigating the site's vendors and shielding us from unwanted attention. Nevin captured breathtaking photographs and tailored the entire experience to suit our preferences. As a delightful conclusion, we enjoyed a boat ride on the way back to our hotel, taking advantage of the excellent weather and stunning views.
For my first time in Egypt, I highly recommend requesting Nevin; she ensures excellent care and support. This tour surpassed all of my expectations, and I enthusiastically endorse Nevin. I look forward to reaching out to her for additional tours on my next visit to Cairo.

Wow! I highly recommend Marco for a high quality experience. This tour was as complete an experience as you can get in 8 hours!! My guide Marco was extraordinary and gave me so much information on the history, artwork including the statues and paintings. The driver Mohammed, took us downtown where we got out and walked throughout Cairo, looking at so many beautiful churches and architectural examples. Every stop along the way was exceptional! Again, Marco was great at describing the history of the Pyramids and churches. I would say that this tour was worth every dollar, not only for the quality but for the flexibility in deciding what was most important for me to see in such short time. Can't wait to return to Cairo and do more tours with them again!

Great tour with our tour guide Morsi. We Picked up early in the morning Took amazing photos at the Giza pyramids and learned all about them. Morsi was great a dealing with locals and making sure we weren’t scammed out of our money. Then we went to the Sphinx and learned about its history. Lunch was exceptional. Traditional Egyptian food and learned a lot about the origins of the step pyramids and the great architect/doctor Imhotep. Had some great photos with statues of Ramses II. We were offered sugar cane juice on the way back to round off the trip. Overall was a great experience with an amazing guide and driver. Car was clean and the AC helped keep us comfortable! Should be a part of everyone’s itinerary.

The tour was very well planned. Our guide, Essam was knowledgeable and shared the information with great passion. We were short on time and had elderly people with us yet he was able to adjust to our needs. On the whole this was a very good and memorable tour and would highly recommend this tour and Essam as a guide.
