“Excellent honest guide ”
We took half a day tour with Mr. Abdou and enjoyed it a lot. I booked the “4 hour private Half Day tour to Giza pyramids & the Sphinx“, and he took us to some nice local shops for clothes and perfumes. Going with a good tour guide mede our experience safe and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Mr. Abdou, he explained the history of the place and took good photos for us. and most importantly, he is honest and respectful person. الرحلة مع المرشد السياحي الأخ عبدالله كانت جميلة وممتعة وآمنة، أنصح به خصوصا للعائلات لاحترامه وأمانته

“Great Perks / Shops?”
Abdou has a developed an incredible network. Both he and the driver were very professional. Abdou was able to skip the lines for tickets and for entry. He saved us a boatload of time - and the lines were long. However, we still felt rushed through the sites. We figured he knew how to schedule us to see everything on the tour. He suggested that we take the camel ride behind the pyramids. Having ridden camels on longer rides before, we had not planned on it. However, after further discussion, we took his recommendation. We were so glad that we did! It gave us a new perspective of the pyramids. Thanks, Abduo! Abdou took great photos for us with fun poses. He knows the best spots. His historical knowledge will not disappoint either. After that, he drove us to tourist shops where he was "connected." We didn't know we would be stopping at these places as part of the tour. They are not mentioned in the description, and they took too much time - to listen to the spiels and negotiate any purchase with all of the "racket." Although we bought some items, we would have rather spent more time at the pyramids, etc. I would never have traded tour time for shopping, but he obviously scheduled it this way. And it wasn't until I got home that I realized he never took us to the Valley Temple, as noted on the tour description!
