“2 Day guided tour pyramids and GEM”
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Bishoy as our guide in Giza and at the Grand Egyptian Museum. On our first day, Bishoy spent around five hours with us exploring the Pyramids of Giza. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history is exceptional, and he brought the history of the pyramids and their surrounding sites to life in a fascinating and very engaging way. One of the highlights was visiting some lesser-known and hidden tomb chambers that we would never have discovered on our own. He was always happy to answer our questions in detail and clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for Egyptian history and culture. The following day, Bishoy guided us for another five hours through the Grand Egyptian Museum. He selected the highlights from the enormous collection and explained them in their historical and cultural context, giving us a much deeper understanding of the pharaohs, their lives, beliefs, and the development of ancient Egyptian civilization. Bishoy is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very friendly, patient, and pleasant to spend time with. He picked us up from our hotel and brought us back afterwards, making both days completely comfortable and hassle-free. We could not have wished for a better guide. Spending two days with Bishoy added enormously to our experience in Cairo and Giza, and we would book a tour with him again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

Bishoy G.
Dear Jörn, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful and detailed review. Your kind words truly mean a lot to me! It was a real pleasure spending these two days with you and sharing my passion for ancient Egyptian history with you. I’m especially happy that you enjoyed not only the famous highlights of the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, but also the lesser-known places and stories that made our experience a little more special. I’m very grateful for your kind words about my knowledge, patience, and the personal atmosphere of the tours. As a licensed Egyptologist and private guide in Cairo, my goal is always to make history come alive and create a comfortable and memorable experience for my guests, including German-speaking travelers. Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and the wonderful time we shared. I sincerely hope to welcome you back to Egypt one day and discover more of its fascinating history together! Warmest regards, Bishoy Gadallah Time Traveller Tours Cairo
