View of pyramids from the near was breathtaking and makes you wonder how it was possible 4600 years ago. The tour was well organised. Our guide Kyrllos and driver Mina were punctual, good communication via WhatsApp. Vehicle was good with AC for large family. Kyrllos was patient and very knowledgeable. Very interesting history of how Egyptians built it. He was happy to answer questions esp my son was very curious. We went into Khafre - it is very narrow entrance and not for those who are claustrophobic. Ended with a short camel ride. Would highly recommend and you must have a guide unless you know where you are going. Thank you Kyrllos 😊 and also for the amazing photographs you took and suggested spots 😀

There were five of us in our group, and Osama picked us up right from our hotel and took us to explore the pyramids! The tour included transportation, a camel ride, lunch, a walk around the pyramid grounds, and stops at a few local vendors. Osama was incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. He shared so much history and made the entire experience even more memorable. He was truly the highlight of our tour and made our day unforgettable! If you’re visiting the pyramids, Osama is your guy! Highly recommend!
Osama did a great job. We had a fun visit to the pyramid, sphinx, and went out to a great lunch and to some great stores. Thank you
This tour is a great way to see the most amazing sights in Egypt. Giza Pyramids, Sphinx , plus camel ride, and a delicious buffet lunch. Our guide, Hany Mubarak, Egyptologist, was magnificent, we got close up looks at each pyramid and Sphinx, a fun camel and horse carriage ride. Haney was very attentive and helped my wife and I through some rough patches (we are in our 80’s). We strongly recommend this tour it is a good in depth look and lot of fun. Kudos also to our driver, Habibi and his abuility to keep us safe and prompt.
We had a amazing time with our guide Kyrllos. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He taught us so much about Egypt. He quizzed us like we was in school 🤣 I highly recommend Kyrllos to anyone visiting. We will be booking him again next year for upper Egypt
Yasmeen was a fantastic guide, helpful, engaging, knowledgeable, she was the perfect person to show us around the magnificent pyramids of Giza. The experience was 10 out of 10.
Osama was awesome ! Very knowledgeable , patient and kind! We had the best time would definitely recommend! Booking him again and this was worth every penny !!
This was a great experience! Our guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and very kind went above and beyond for us!
Thanks to Mina Sohby, He guides us at our tour to the Giza Pyramids, explains a mot about history of Egypt and answered questions anytime I recommend Mina as tour giude
We had a fantastic experience visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum! Yasmeen Abu Raqiqah was a wonderful guide who made the tour both enjoyable and informative. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history behind the artefacts in a way that made everything so much more interesting. The museum itself was absolutely incredible, with so much fascinating history to explore. Having a guide made the experience even more worthwhile, as we learned so much more about ancient Egyptian civilisation and the incredible treasures on display. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo! Thank you, Yasmeen, for such a memorable experience. 😊
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. It was amazing to see the pyramids and go inside, where humans have walked centuries ago. Our guide Mina was extremely knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire tour. We chose to walk between the pyramids ( instead of taking the bus) and managed to get some great perspectives of the pyramids.
The All-In-One Giza Pyramids/Sphinx/Camel ride lunch was fantastic. I highly recommend it, especially with the lunch option. Excellent food with a memorable view of the Giza Pyramids. Mina Wasfy was our outstanding guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. He made the tour exceptionally fun.
Where do I start? From the summary! Our guide Mina is the absolute best tour guide in Egypt! Now the details… From the very first moment of our trip, his energy, passion, deep knowledge, and warmth made our Egyptian adventure feel truly magical and unforgettable. He was prompt! Showed up on time bringing with him unmatched expertise. He brought Egypt’s ancient history to life. He doesn't just recite facts; he tells captivating stories that make you feel like you've traveled back in time to the era of the Pharaohs. What else? Flawless Organization! Navigating busy historic sites and transport was completely stress-free. Every detail of our schedule was handled with perfect precision and care. We toured the pyramids inside and out, kissed the sphinx - only because he knew the precise spots to take for the best photos… pushing the pyramids, finger tip grabbing the pyramids., name it! From the start, Mina immediately treated my husband and I like family. He was incredibly patient, and always ready with a smile. With local insider access, we discovered hidden gems, like the heavenly essence aromatherapy and learned how to make papyrus! For thrill seekers, nothing like the ATV rides at max speed. Now the food!!! He took us to an authentic local restaurants - Egy gate - sumptuous buffet with the yummiest desserts and we ended with an unforgettable dinner cruise. Need I say more…. You can’t go wrong if you want the best Egyptian experience ever!
Must experience this tour. Ayoub was an amazing guide. Very friendly, very knowledgeable and made the tour a much more enjoyable experience. Knew great spots for pictures and was a great photographer
Absolutely fantastic definitely recommend. Our guide was fantastic as was our driver. An experience i will never forget.
From the start of the day being picked up at the hotel, being educated and informed during the drive to the entry of the pyramids, the very educational walk through, all the way to the end. Mina provided me with great information and took excellent photos for me. Very friendly and deeply cared about the history of the pyramids. Answered all of my questions I had. Would do the tour over again without a doubt with my amazing and talented tour guide Mina Sobhy
The day trip to see the pyramids and the Sphinx in Cairo was excellent overall. The experience was fascinating, and I learnt a lot about the history and significance of these incredible landmarks. The tour itself was enjoyable, informative, and well worth doing. My only criticism concerns the tour guide’s proactive recommendation that we visit a papyrus shop. We purchased two pieces of papyrus artwork for US$200, only to discover that the same pieces were available in the airport departure lounge for US$50. This represents a significant difference in price and left us feeling that we had been substantially overcharged. While I appreciate that guides may recommend local shops, I do not believe they should proactively direct tourists to establishments where products are sold at such significantly inflated prices. Tour guides should act in the best interests of their customers and ensure that any shopping recommendations are fair and transparent. Furthermore, the tour guide tried to get us to hire him directly outside Viatour for a tour of Coptic Cairo at an inflated price of $180USD. I don’t think your tour guides should be doing this as we have a lot more safety and security when bookings are placed through Viatour. Aside from this disappointing experience, the tour was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the pyramids and the Sphinx. I would recommend the tour itself, but I would advise future visitors to exercise caution when following shopping recommendations from the guide.
Kyrllos is by far the best tour guide I ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He also makes sure we we treat properly by the people selling on side of the street and took us to many places where we could find original, traditional Egyptian souvenirs. Would love to hire him for future tours!
It was an amazing experience and very well managed and curated. Special thanks to our guide Yasmeen abu Raqiqah. She was very good at her work.
Guide Manar Nabil and driver Ashraf were amazing! We were delayed coming from the airport and they were very flexible and waited patiently for us. Once we arrived, they ensured we were conformable by taking us out for food and coffee first. Manar's knowledge of the Pyramid complex was amazing. She answered all of our questions and she never rushed us once. She exudes great energy and pride for her work. Thank you Manar and Ashraf.
TAKE THIS TOUR YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!! Kyrllos was the best tour guide I have ever had! He was incredibly knowledgeable and had answers to every one of my questions. He was incredibly kind and helpful. The tour gave stunning views of the Pyramids, inside and out. The lunch was fantastic and the camel ride was one not to be forgotten! Kyrllos taught me so much about ancient Egypt! I felt like I was back in school learning again! How amazing!
Our guide Moses was wonderful Really attentive to two old ladies He is knowledgeable and his English is excellent. We enjoyed his company and recommend him
We had a fantastic tour experience today with Ayoub and his driver Capoo on our Pyramids of Giza tour. Ayoub was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and informative, and made the whole experience very comfortable and enjoyable. He also took a ton of great photos for us! Overall, a fantastic experience — highly recommend Ayoub!
Very informative with a very knowledgeable guide. We went early when the lines were less so it was easy, fun and no stress. The guide took care of everything so all we did was explore and enjoy.
Awesome experience! Tour guide, Eino, was knowledgeable and friendly. He leveraged his many years of experience to ensure a smooth and enjoyable tour. Camel ride and ATV is a must. The end of tour was capped off with a high end buffet . Highly recommend this tour!
It was a nice experience. Our guide Manar was very good. She had suitable awnsers to our questions and took our interessant into accoun. The lunch was good and the length of our trip was perfect.
Duba is amazing guide I'm very lucky that he was with me for the tour. He is very good at photo/video taking! I got some nice shot with Pyramid. 9 pyramid loundge is also amazing and he helped me to sit at the best view spot
Our tour guide was Ahmed. He is an Excellent tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He made our trip enjoyable and stress-free, explained everything clearly, and was great with our family. Highly recommended!
We had the best guide Ahmed Kamel. Very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. Great photographer too.
Mena was great. Excellent tour, very knowledgeable, speaks good English,and was not creepy. Nice guy. Took multiple photos for my wife and I. Picked us up from the Hotel Mena. The buffet restaurant was delicious. 10 out of 10.
Kyrllos Eskandar is an outstanding tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and engaging. He brought the history of the Pyramids of Giza to life and explained everything in a way that was fascinating and easy to understand. He was also incredibly organized and efficient, making the entire day smooth and enjoyable. His passion for Egyptian history really showed, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend him! He truly made our visit to the Pyramids unforgettable.
Ayoub gave us a fantastic tour of the pyramids and made the whole experience really enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to our needs throughout the day. He also took us for a delicious lunch afterwards, which was a great way to finish the tour. We had a brilliant time and would highly recommend him! Would have put 10 stars if it was possible!
Our guide Ayoub was the best. Easy to understand and very knowledgeable about the tour. Great picture opportunities and great food and views at lunch.
Our tour guide Ayoub was an absolute great and much appreciated guide!! Treated us with kindness and has so much knowlegde about the history. Loved every second of it and we even travelled with three young children. Thank you we hope to see you again soon!
The guide was absolutely the best. He was most courteous and helpful throughout and answered all questions pleasantly and walked with me to the pyramids and the Sphinx and took my photos. He also help me onto a camel for a ride and then we had lunch. The best experience.
Manar is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. The tour was fantastic and we would love to do it again!
Amazing private tour to one of the great wonders of the world! Our guide Osama made sure we got in & out of each area stress free, was friendly, knowledgeable, had access away from crowds, and took great pictures for us.
First time in Egypt and the experiencw was great. Khalefa our tour guide was awesome! His communication, service and knowledge are A+ plus he is an outstanding photographer! Thank you Khalefa. You are awesome 👌🏽
We had an amazing tour with Osama, very outgoing and knowledgeable guide. He showed us the pyramids and took a lot of fun photos, also he gave us local recommendations, which is much appreciated. It was a pleasant experience, highly recommend! Thank you, Osama!
We couldn’t be more happy with this tour. We looked at dozens of options and this one was recommended to us. So glad we went with it. Our guide Ayoub was amazing. So knowledgeable, enthusiastic and patient (with our constant questions and multiple changes to our plan). We chose the all inclusive option and in the end added the Great Pyramid entry ticket (which I will say, I’m glad I did but don’t feel like I would need to do again. Also not for the unfit). Plus we asked our guide if we could possibly take a trip on the Nile in a felucca and Ayoub organised everything without any hesitation. He took about a hundred pictures, all very good quality, he’s obviously done this a lot. We’ve been to Cairo before but I’m so glad we had a guide this time. Our driver also deserves special mention too. Ayoub, you made our trip. Thank you.
Ayoub was an amazing guide a wonderful person who made our day in Cairo informative - he is so knowledgeable about Egyptian history culture and the people. He assisted us all day happy to help adjust our plans and support our adventures. Thank you Ayoub you made everything easy and gave us an amazing day.
The best tour guide we could have asked for. He took us around the pyramids, we went camel riding, ATV riding, inside the Pyramid Tombs and I learned a lot. He is very knowledgeable in Egyptian history, archeology and very accommodating. We went during the Chinese Presidents visit and he accommodated us by providing a different date for no extra cost. If you want a friendly, smart, distinguishable tour guide then look no further.
I had a great experience on my tour of the Giza Plateau. My guide, Kyrllos Eskandar, was extremely knowledgeable and explained the history of the pyramids and the surrounding sites in a really interesting and easy-to-understand way. He was also very friendly and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour, which made the experience much more enjoyable. He was even kind enough to take some great photos for me! I would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Giza.
We did a tour through ETD travel, and our tour guide was Moses. Pick up was prompt, at the hotel, so no need to travel. The car had aircon and was completely clean. Both our guide and driver were very polite and we felt relaxed with them. The tour of the Giza pyramids is exceptional, I do recommend a guided tour as you learn so much more. You can go in the pyramids which is fun. The lunch was good, a good variety of vegetarian options if you’re vegetarian. When going to the pyramids take small notes to tip pyramid security and the men and women working in the bathrooms etc. When talkin the camel rides a tip of around 200egp is the norm, but optional. Overall would very much recommend, a day to remember.
Osama was our guide for this trip he was great, very easy to talk to, gave us the right amount of information and didn’t rush us, he even helped with photos, everything went very smoothly from pick up to drop off. Included 15 minute Camel ride was fab Also going into the smallest pyramid Then lunch at 9 Pyramid the view from the restaurant was amazing overlooking the pyramids and the food was excellent too.
My guide was Mina Wasfy. I really enjoyed the day. Mina was very experienced and knowledgeable, explaining what I was seeing in detail and answering all my questions. The pace was good. The GEM was a great experience, with Mina guiding me to the most interesting displays. I definitely recommend Mina. The car and driver were good too. I recommend Mina as a guide.
Great experience. Eino's guidance and information really made it
Our tour of the pyramids was amazing! Ayoub was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a great job explaining the history and significance of the pyramids. The tour was well organized, with plenty of time to explore, take photos, and learn about Ancient Egypt. The camel ride was so much fun and is a must do. The photos came out great! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt. It was a memorable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Ayoub was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He made our visit to the Giza Pyramids truly unforgettable. He showed us the best spots for photos and made sure we got incredible pictures throughout the tour. He also did a fantastic job explaining the history and significance of the pyramids and the Sphinx, including the fascinating story behind the Sphinx as a protector. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendliness made the entire experience so enjoyable.
Yasmeen Abu Raqiqah was the best guide!!! She was so knowledgeable, took good pictures, and we had great conversations throughout the tour. I would not want to tour the pyramids and the sphinx with anyone else!
