    Absolutely everything was wonderful. My French-speaking guide Reda was perfect, so kind and patient. Incredible. He really took the time to explain everything in detail. What's more, Reda's driver was also punctual and kind. I really recommend Reda as a guide for an incredible tour!
  • See the pyramids with a guide who knows their secrets

    Start your journey with pick-up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, available every hour from 7 AM to 12 Noon. Choose between a shared group transfer or a private vehicle, depending on your preference. Sit back in an air-conditioned ride as you head to the Giza Plateau, home to the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. Your expert Egyptologist guide will lead you through the highlights, starting with the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three. If you’ve chosen a ticket-inclusive tour, you’ll enter the plateau and see the pyramids from up close. Entry to inside the pyramid can be purchased on-site for an extra cost.

    Stop at the perfect photo spot & visit the Great Sphinx

    Before heading to the Sphinx, stop at a panoramic viewpoint where you can capture all three pyramids in a single epic shot—a must for photographers! Then, continue to the Great Sphinx, the iconic half-lion, half-human monument, and explore the Valley Temple, once used for royal mummification rituals.

    Upgrade for the full Giza experience

    Want more? Upgrade your tour for a deeper dive into history:

    • Choose a variant with Giza Plateau entry to go beyond the viewpoints and walk right up to the pyramids.

    • Add a 30-minute camel ride for a classic desert experience like ancient travelers.

    • Opt for a private tour for a more personalized, flexible experience with your own guide and vehicle.

    After an unforgettable morning exploring Egypt’s top landmarks, relax as you ride back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza, reflecting on a journey through history.
