Our guide, Othman, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, gave good instruction and tips, and was flexible in catering to our group's preferences. When we book other tours in Egypt, we will specifically request him.

Of course it was magnificent, but the guides and driver were also top-notch... Many thanks to Reda for the explanations and stories of the country.

Private half-day with departure at 8 a.m. sharp and return around noon, but you can take as much time as you like. We were able to see the pyramids from all angles, as well as the Sphinx. The guide, Reda (in French), was very friendly and smiling, making it a great outing! And the driver, Tamer, was very vigilant on the road. Just so you know, we had taken the private exit without entry to the pyramids etc. (but it's certainly possible to change your mind on the spot if you change your mind at the entrance, I think). You have to pay the entrance ticket to the pyramids in addition to the tour (1700 Egyptian pounds). We just didn't appreciate the cash cow aspect at the end of the tour, even though we understood that this was the game... "don't buy anything at the pyramids, you'll get ripped off there's another store outside". But we didn't really find the attractive prices or the coveted objects. Our visit to the papyrus store was a little oppressive, with the saleswoman insisting heavily that we buy something... Otherwise, everything was perfect and I highly recommend the visit, which was rich in detail and history. Thank you Reda!

Your Experience

Enjoy this 2-in-1 combo guided tour that shows you exciting, must-visit attractions in Egypt. Your tour begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel, where you'll be introduced to your Egyptologist. Take to the Great Pyramids, one among (and the oldest of) the Seven Wonders of the World. Visit the pyramids from the inside and gasp at the panoramic views of the Pyramids of Giza- including the Pyramids Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure.

Snap photographs with the Sphinx of Giza, the 4,500-year-old limestone statue that is easily one of ancient Egypt's most recognizable relics. You'll then visit the Valley Temple of the Pyramids of Chephren, where Kings were "purified" before burial, and then mummified. At the end of your tour, you'll be dropped back off at your hotel. You can choose to tour the attraction with a group or take a private tour by booking the preferred ticket of your choice.
