Things to do in Giza, Giza Governorate: The Best Archaeology Tours
Spot a tourist in New York, and chances are you can’t be sure exactly why they’re in town. Broadway? Shopping? A quest to find the world’s best bagel? It’s anyone’s guess. At Giza, though, it’s pretty simple—travelers come here to see the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

This was exceptionally good. Great way to experience all main sights in two packed days, while being flexible with you individual needs. We traveled with 5 year old daughter and felt highly comfortable completing the whole program. The price is ridiculously low. All tickets are included as well as lunches for both days. You will spend the same just on tickets and taxis between the sites with no guide if you try to do it yourself. And the guide. If you buy this tour - ask for Fatima. She made this tour unforgettable, being absolutely passionate about her job and history of this interesting country. She was chatty, always ready to help and adapt, answered any of our questions about history, current life of the country and on recommendations where to have dinner. We visited during Ramadan, so all museums closed at 15.00, but she managed to organise everything so that we made it to all points. On top of that she was able to keep the pace of storytelling even in the middle of the heat and fasting without water (you remember we had this tour during Ramadan?). So all in all Fatima was the one, who made us enjoy Cairo and admire great history of Egypt.

I’ve been to Egypt three times, I met one of the owners (Sem Sem) of The Egypt Tour Specialists when I traveled several years ago with him on a group tour for a big international company for which he served as both a manager and a guide. When I reached out to him for help planning my last trip, I discovered that Sem Sem had started his own company. I knew I wanted to hire him and no one else, but he insisted I get quotes from other companies before booking with The Egypt Tour Specialists. This was a first for any travel company! We worked out an itinerary, and Sem Sem handled everything from there. I included the temple of Abydos which Sem Sem assured me he would do his best to arrange, but could not guarantee as Egypt has a rather complicated permit system for anyone going off the beaten path. We did not know if we would be able to do Abydos until literally the evening before as the government has the right to yank the permit for any reason at any time. As this was during Covid and I was a solo traveler, my permit received extra scrutiny. We made it! It was only after that Sem Sem told me about the offices he had to visit, the fees paid, and the numerous phone calls made over weeks to make this happen. Any other company would have just said it is too complicated, expensive, and logistically difficult. The Egypt Tour Specialists knew it was important to me and made it happen even though it would have been more profitable and easier to just have insisted on doing something else. This was the best of all three trips I have taken. Just some of my unforgettable memories are entering the step period at Saqqara (It had been closed for a number of years and had just reopened shortly before I arrived), experiencing the vibrant Copt community (Egyptian Christian minority) in the Christian quarter of Cairo, having a beer and just discussing life with Sem Sem in a swanky bar/restaurant with amazing views of Cairo, the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple at night, my adventure going to Abydos, and meeting Sem Sem’s family when I wrapped up the trip on the Red Sea. It’s not just the memories that stick with me though. It is the Egyptian people. Recent history has not been kind to them, but everywhere I went I received a smile and a warm welcome. Despite the news we sometimes read in the USA, Egypt feels just as safe to me as Europe or America, it is only marginally farther for Americans than Europe with a much longer history, amazingly preserved monuments, and it is very reasonably priced. If you smile, trust a little, and extend an open hand in friendship, you will be treated extremely well regardless of your nationality or international politics. I would have never had this experience if I had booked a fancy Nile cruise or a place on a large tour bus. The Egypt Tour Specialists is a reputable local company that operates with integrity where your money will go back to the local economy rather than to a huge international tour company. They are able to tailor a tour to any age, group size, length, and price point. Why just observe Egypt when you can be a part of it? By using The Egypt Tour Specialists, I not only saw the monuments and got the history, but I left with friends and the place in my heart for Egypt grew even bigger than it already was.

The best part of my tour was my guide, Yasser. He is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and made the whole tour a really memorable experience for me. He took a lot of photos at the pyramids and the Great Sphinx, explained the history behind each monument in great detail, and answered all of my questions fully and satisfactorily. I thoroughly enjoyed his company, his knowledge of Egyptian history, and his kind and compassionate demeanor. Overall, I made lifetime memories on this tour and all the credit goes to Yasser.
