Council to ALL! SPECTACULAR
One of the most beautiful excursions, and a guide like Nabil was the best thing!! ❤️ If it didn't exist they should invent it! Super interesting explanation at the museum and fascinating to admire all the spots of Giza
FTS Travels Private Pyramid Giza & Museum Tour July 2025
Amin Mohammed our designated tourist guide from FTS tourists picked us sharp at 0900 from the hotel. He introduced himself and the driver Mohamed Saad and discussed the agenda for the day. First few minutes, we had our own doubts and fear of the unexpected but soon you will understand his professionalism that will put you at ease. We started with Great Pyramid where he discussed in detail about history, the lifecycle and what pyramid means. He also quizzed us in between to make sure we understand the importance of it. After each guided tour, he gave us extra time for self exploration and pictures but also made sure we stuck to the agenda. He also spoke to the camel riders and made sure we were in safe hands. Just make sure, camel ride is covered when you book your package to avoid confusion. Camel ride although looks fun, it is definitely not for people with back problems. If you really cannot resist, go for the shortest ride and stop when you are done. We did not ask for refund because it was our call to end the ride soon. He took us to few more important places like museum and Bazaar and advised on how to respond to people approaching you to buy products. He kept my child engaged by quizzing and sharing some historical facts and mentioned” I learnt the most about history in past 10 minutes compared to what I learnt in school”. Being a professional tourist guide, He was well known by lot of people which some times made it easier to get in line without too many questions. He made sure he had his head count right and advised us to stay with him and not wander in unknown places until he feels it was safer. He is very respectful about your ideas and opinion and advises what is best for you. Being a family man himself he cares for you genuinely. I highly recommend Amin Mohammed to anyone who wants to explore Cairo.
Pyramids, Sphinx and more
Punctual pick up from the hotel. Took an immediate liking to the guide and driver. Driving in Cairo is an experience in itself and our assigned driver was able to get us to all destinations safely. In the meantime our guide introduced himself and started giving us a brief what to expect. Our experienced guide stayed with us throughout the whole trip and was flexible to our requirements. We saw pyramids, sphinx and took a 'crazy' carriage ride (we were even allowed to drive it ourselves). Later we were taken to a buffet lunch. On our return trip to the hotel we made a brief stop and bought a souvenir.
Beautiful day
nice experience with our private guide Nabil who speaks Italian very well and explained and told us everything with passion down to the smallest details! we highly recommend!
