For example, Khufu is the main character noted in the Westcar Papyrus from the 13th dynasty.

Great guide and cool driver with a nice car. They are very flexible and kind. I went to Giza, Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. As far as I checked, I couldn't find any other tour which go all these places in one day at this price.
Only one small request from me is that a guide should be able to take nice photos in this era! So please study the techniques to take impressive photos or find great places. but she tried to take a lot of photos so I really appreciate it!

Tonsi Tonsi was a fantastic guide! The car was nice and he told me the history and helped me navigate Cairo. Communicated well on WhatsApp, great English, and added/skipped portions as I liked. Lunch was great, and the papyrus shop was really cool, too! Highly recumbent to message them and book online!

Lots of information and a very relaxed pace from Tonsi our guide, who takes trouble to understand what clients want from the trip. Excellent driving and a very comfortable, large van. All round, exactly what you need for a day out with the Pharaohs.

We had a great day; Ahmed Tonsi artfully blends information and humor for an enjoyable tour. Tonsi knew when to step in and help but also allows ample time to explore on your own. Going into the Great Pyramid was a highlight for us and you should be sure to do so as you will not regret it. We highly recommend this tour with Ahmed Tonsi.

It’s a fun and enjoyable day with our tour guide Ahmed Tonsi. We were contacted the day before and everything were nicely planned with all sightseeings that we wanted to see and visits to shops of our choices for a bit of shopping (optional).
The car is comfortable and the drive Mustafa is very polite.

Ahmed Tonsi
Our trip this day with Ahmed was our first of many and this adventerous day was truly satisfying. Later on we requested him a few times more for other trips because he made us feel real welcome from the first moment. He provided us with lots of explanations and overall he was a great friend to us.
We recommend emo tours because of Ahmed, he made Emo tours great and our Egypt adventure truly amazing. Thanx again to a great guide, person and friend.

The day started exciting and fun and just kept going downhill. Our guide was late to meet our driver, but seemed enthusiastic. We went to the Giza Pyramid complex first, which was fun. He told us a brief history, we went inside the pyramid, and to the panoramic area for pictures. We had told the guide we wanted to do a camel ride, he took us right to his friend and we got a "30 minute" camel ride that lasted all of 10 minutes. It was 200EP per person plus tip.
We left the pyramid complex and the driver and guide deviated from the itinerary and took us to a perfume shop and papyrus store. When we said we didn't want to go he scolded us. He was doing this in an effort to get us to buy things and get a kick back from the shop owners. The tour stopped being fun from there and I almost asked to stop and being taken back to the hotel at that point.
When in the vehicle the guide and driver spoke in Arabic and on their phones, but never to us. He did not take opportunities to tell us history or facts about anything we were seeing as we passed by.
We also went to Dahshur and the bent pyramid, Saqqara, and the Memphis museum. You can go into the red pyramid, but not the bent pyramid or Saqqara (which had the highest entrance fee aside from the Great Pyramid complex)
Entrance fees were not included in the price, which isn't listed in the itinerary. This was another 790EP per person. You also have to pay 5EP for the car at each location, also not included in the price. And don't forget about tipping at literally every step of the way. Bring lots of cash and find a way to get small bills, because no one will have them or want to break your 100 or 200 EP bills.
If I were doing it over again I would skip this tour, take an uber to the Giza great pyramid complex and do it myself.

We booked a full day to visit the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, Sakkara and Dahsure. Our driver, Ahmed, was polite and professional and excellent at negotiating the Egyptian traffic! Our guide, Rasha, was outstanding! She was passionate about all the sights we visited and very knowledgeable - we enjoyed the day so much that we booked Rasha and Ahmed again for the next day to visit the Egyptian Museum and Old Cairo - again a fantastic and very informative day. Would highly recommend Egypt Tours Online - thank you!

This was more than what i had ever imagined in every way. I was extremely lucky to get Ahmed Tonsi as my guide and a gentleman called Mr Bulli as my driver. Being a solo female traveller, i was a bit reluctant to book the tour , however i am glad i did with TA. Ahmed was very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He was a thorough professional and took care of me in every possible way. From offering me food and drinks throughout to even buying me a souvenir and some dates. All the points that i went were great and Ahmed made it special by explaining everything about it.
They were quite easy to talk to and we shared some interesting chats. Ahmed even offered me some tips throughout to be safe and sound and not once did i feel like a stranger in this country. All in all a great service and an extraordinary experience. Thanks Ahmed and Mr Bulli......you guys made this experience special and i found a new friend in Egypt :) I highly recommend this to all.
All the best for your marriage Ahmed ...please pass my regards to Sanara.
Best Wishes
Seema Shaikh
