- davidmP4701XO00Cairo TourI had an excellent experience with Mostafa my tour guide and his driver. Mostafa was quite insightful about what was on the tour and shared fun, personal stories regarding the monuments. I would highly recommend!
- danimale00An eventful day in EgyptOur guide was welcoming and friendly at first then he took us to his friend's store's to hustle us,then he offered us breakfast said we were his guests and he is supposed to cater to us,few hours later he had changed demanding money from us and was very rude about it,we paid for the breakfast,then he took us to rude camels and said we should tip the Sheppard's but my understanding was that the ride was part of the package. Overall got to ride the camels,see the pyramids and the sphinx..
- bobjH9102KM00A launchpad for the Egyptian experience.Cario, with a city of a population of at least 25m, being dropped in downtown can be rather overwhelming. Although it is a very safe city both during day and night time, it’s easy to get lost in the many different areas. We had a wonderful time with our tour guide and driver (Siad and Ayman) , being launched immediately in a full Cario experience. We were lucky with the season, not being busy this year and had great access to all the big sights one wants to check off. The tour guide and the driver were knowledgeable as well as had a good sense of humour and had access to areas that you wouldn’t be able to get to without them. We were able to get extremely close to some of the great sights such as the pyramids and sphinx as well as getting an inside look in how people live in this city. The tour itself was flexible and the tour guides adjusted the itinerary based on the traffic and unexpected events such as the light show being cancelled. We had a really good time overall and laughed a lot. The food was great and everything was well. One thing that some people may be put off by is that the tour involves going to shops and places that expect you to buy something but it is completely up to you. It is important for the guides to give back to the Egyptian people. They were also very thoughtful and helped us plan the rest of our trip by giving suggestions. The finish the review, see this tour as more of an introduction to Egypt and check off the big ones before continuing your travel down south; don’t expect detailed archeological insights but more of a launchpad into the Egyptian experience!
- M2936IVnikhilk00Amazing tour, totally worth it and more!Amazing tour and more that what we expected. Ahmed and Ezzat were absolutely amazing! They were informative and very polite and showed us a great taste of Cairo in one day
- OShoeDiva00Wonderful tour for the familyWe had an amazing time seeing all of the sights. Seeing the pyramids and riding the camels were the highlights. I highly recommend this tour.
- Stay2976755319200Giza PyramidsI think this is one of the best tours we have been on. I have taken tours before which end up being the guide talking and not enjoying the tour. The tour was very free and easy. I loved the well planned locations and enough time at each. Ahmad was very knowledgeable and excellent photographer. I was fearful since reviews of Giza are bad usually, but I had one of the best experiences.
- Muhammad B00Egyptian pyramids and museumI really enjoyed my tour of the pyramids, sphinx, and museum. My tour guide and driver were both very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this tour to others.
- ms_checkin00Not worth itBasically can do it on your own, taking Uber to the site as I do not understand the guide at times as the local accent was abit harder for me (could be just me) and the history being shared are basic straight out from wiki. The guide did offer to take photos but was not great lol, pyramid being cut off or not in focus. Camel ride was not 30 mins, more like 15 mins max! Lunch was bad and they tried to bring me to souvenir store and I firmly declined. The guide didn’t walk much with me once we were at the pyramid compound, and i spent less than an hour at each pyramid and sphinx, all in all the tour concluded less than 5 hours (including travel time) though it advertised for 8 hours. Do note that it doesn’t not include admission to go into the pyramid (though it stated admission to each pyramid) but in actual fact admission into the pyramid compound to see each pyramid. When I was walking on my own around the compound, there were some locals approaching to sell stuff or help to take photo but simply left me alone when I told them “no”. So my initial thought to get a guide was to avoid all these as I am a solo female traveller but ended up I am doing it myself anyway. So save yourself some money & diy, it’s not dangerous at all.
- Getaway54376800Amazing day trip filled with experienced and informationAbsolutely amazing tour - great service and we all learned so much and can’t wait to come back and explore more! We had an amazing guide Gamal was everything and more we could wish for! His knowledge was second to none and he explained and showed all of the family a piece of history we all are more exited about when we left the tour! Everyone from the family would like to come back soon! Thanks so much for having us ❤️❤️❤️ can’t recommend enough! We only came for a day trip and pickup and drop off from airport we let smooth without any issue and would totally recommend
- hasanm96000Amazing tripDefinitely reccomend this trip, our tour guide was Ahmed Gaber and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. He was very helpful and gave us lots of information and his english was very good. Our driver hassan was also very good, he was a good driver and very reliable. The food was nice, we had kofta and chicken with rice and chips. (Tips are expected for Camel ride and driver) We got to see the 3 main pyrmadis went inside the free one which was the small one and got told they are all the same on the inside
- Louis-henry D00Dishonest tour companyDishonest, our hotel was in the list for pickup but we had to pay 30$ extra because our hotel “was far from sites for visit”
- Fazal R00Wonderful experienceOur guide Ahmed Gaber was excellent. He had a great command on the subject and explained various aspects of Egyptian history with great detail. He answered all the countless questions, we kept asking throughout, with patience and a smiling face. His photographic skills are second to none. Will highly recommend him.
- laisenian202300Wonderful ExperienceThe tour was amazing.. We had a wonderful guide -Mostafa Ortega. We went to the Pyramids, was told a brief background history about the History of Egypt and the different dynasties in which they built the Pyramids. The whole tour was lovely and it ended with a lovely lunch..
- G3780KBandr_g00Review of the TourNice tour guides, they explain the history of the monuments and also the tradicions of egypcian people. If anything we need they try help us. However, we didin´t like to visit some shops, because, they were creating the need to buy something. Also in egypcian culture given tips is something almost obrigatory even if you pay the service. which it is common in our culture. Overall, we recommend this tour.
- F7029PQchrisa00Day layover exploringVery friendly and knowledgeable about egypt. I was well looked after and taken care of. Got to experience egypt through the eyes of locals.

Fantastic experiencie thank to our guide Sam. He was very patiently with us because we're not fluent in english and we were afraid to do this important Tour in a different language than our. But as we met Sam everything changed and we felt so good, the atmosphere of trusted that he built. The way he explained, the slowly way to speak in english, they were components to understand him at anytime.
He was aware everymoment to make sure that we were comfortable and safe. Thing that we really appreciate because we had a bad experiencie in our first time visiting the pyramids.
Mena was our driver, very respectful man. Really good driver, traffic in Cairo is chaotic and many times we felt unsafe, but not with him.
We highly recommend Sam as human being and we can noted that he loves his job.
Ps : he's the best as a photographer as a guide tour.

Eman was really good and showed us around Cairo. We only had two days so this was the perfect way to see all the main attractions, get the knowledge of the sites and experience Cairo. Eman was really friendly and accommodating- would recommend.

Absolutely amazing does not begin to describe the experience. Not only is the shear experience of seeing the amazing monuments from the cradle of civilization but my guide (Eman) and my driver (George) were the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend both because they truly enrich your experience. Eman is very knowledgeable and a great guide. I would do this again and again if I could.

The trip was great and made better by the tour guide and driver, Hany. Sayed, our tour guide / egyptologist, was excellent. He was kind and friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the pyramids.
He was also very helpful with recommending good picture spots and poses and helped us take a lot of excellent pictures! Thank you very much, I will definitely recommend.
The trip started around 8.30am and finished around 3 or 4, with regular breaks, lunch etc.

After reading the many reviewers that recommended Sam as a tour guide for the full day Private All Inclusive: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Saqqara, Lunch & Camels tour, we specifically requested Sam and were thrilled when he was available and accepted to be our tour guide. He is outstanding and we experienced the most wonderful day with him as our guide and Basem as our driver. They picked us up from our hotel exactly at 8 am. It was a very hazy morning, so Sam decided to go to Saqqara first which worked out beautifully. In route he gave us the rich history of ancient Egypt so that we really appreciated the sights we would be seeing throughout the day. He provided the perfect amount of history, graciously answered all our question, took many great photos for us, and kept us on time. We saw the stepped pyramid and Memphis before touring the papyrus factory. I would never try to drive in Cairo and having Basem at the wheel made it possible to see all the sights in the perfect door-to-door service. Lunch was delicious and quite plentiful. They timed our arrival to the Giza pyramids just a couple hours before sunset which made the viewing of the pyramid and Sphinx an amazing experience. Our first camel rides were very fun and the pictures are a riot. We would never have been able to see as much as we did, understand the history, astrology, archeology, culture and religion embodied in the great sights without Sam and Basem. We would highly recommend the tour and definitely ask for Sam and Basem!!! Thank you!

We had an excellent experience with Ahmed Elsayed as our tour guide for the Giza Pyramids. Ahmed was punctual, ensuring a timely pickup, and he provided a wealth of knowledge about Egyptian history throughout the tour. His presence and guidance were invaluable, making the entire experience enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend Ahmed for anyone exploring the Giza Pyramids.

Ahmed Elsayed was the consummate host in my personal host of just us two. He carefully and smartly explained Egyptian history and culture pertaining to the Dynastic Era of Pharaohs. His knowledge was in-depth and broad answering all my questions. I am definitely returning with my wife for an extensive tour where we can take time soaking in more sites and meeting Cairo locals. Thank you Ahmed! -

I can't remember the make of the car hut it was a newish comfortable sedan with good air-conditioning. The restaurant was one of the better ones. Nice little taste testing of different food and then a main. The worst was in Luxor. Say mo to that one.

You might be able to EFT cash for payment of the trip so definitely contact the travel company - that’s what we did. If you stay at a good hotel they will usually have an ATM if your guide will show you working ATMs. Enjoy!

Is there an age or weight requirement for camel-back riding?
chrisfromthecape
West Yarmouth, MA205 contributions
If you can mount a horse, you’ll be fine as the camels wear a saddle. The guide will instruct you as to when to move forward and back as the camel stands up and vice versa. I can’t recall where I saw the advisory, but it did state the weight limit was 250 pounds for the camels sake ❤️

Hello, a few questions
1. I have a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 kids(6-15).
May I have the price for our group?
2. How many people is this group?
3. Any clothes requirements?
Emerald
19 contributions
The price depends on the size of the group. For larger numbers, the price per person goes down. Two adults and three children is very doable for this tour.
As far as clothing, modesty is always appreciated in Egypt. That does double duty by protecting you from the sun. As this is a full day tour, you will be starting in the early morning when it can be quite cool, so you will want a sweater or jacket that you can remove when the temperature rises. Sturdy footwear is a must as much of the walking will be over uneven surfaces.
Hope this helps.
Hi, is it a Quad Bike Ride included in the tour (if it's not is there an option to arrange it)?

No,
You need to check with them,
We went in a group of 5 people for quad bike. For 2 of the quad bikes the workers sat in front of the grill so couldn't do much manoeuvre on the bikes nor enjoy the view. Was this the same for others? Otherwise everything else was great

The best is to book this tour via the Viator app. They also have a live assistant.
Does the tour allow us time to buy entrance inside the pyramids?
Hany O

Yes. You will need cash to be safe (the credit card machine was broken when we went which caused problems). 440EGP for adults and if you have kids that have student IDs they get in for half off (220EGP)
