Paid for a VIP private...

GarethStobbart, Jan 2025

Paid for a VIP private tour as I have social anxiety, the price was expensive but for what was advertised I thought it was best. Got picked up to find out that the tour was NOT a private tour and they had paired me with someone else. The guide was not very knowledgeable, he constantly repeated factually incorrect information. The price does not include everything as advertised! To get to the panoramic view point you have to go by camel, which you had to pay an additional 1000 Egyptian pounds. They were guided by children who also took the pictures. The pictures were not good, they also insisted on taking pictures of me with the complete stranger on the tour with me! I had to delete every picture they took they were that bad! when I wanted to get off the camel to take my own pictures they outright refused at first and then pestered me for a tip for the awful pictures that they took for which I refused. The tour guide was then insistant we go back to take good pictures, I repeatedly refused as I was made to feel really uncomfortable, but after repeated pestering I eventually agreed. The pictures the tour guide took were not any better! He was however very polite throughout and wanted to help in any way possible. Just didn't listen. The tour did last longer than advertised, which nearly made me late for my pre booked evening meal. They also took me to several shops not advertised where they basically tried to get me to buy things I did not want or ask for.

Is not first trip for organising We have history in this trip all was great

Amazing site and great tour guide !!

The day was fabulous our guide Wary was on time and beyond knowledgeable and really nice !! You can ride the camels for an extra cost. Just know at the end. There is a papyrus museum (a store) and a Lotus museum (another store) where you kind of have to buy ...... we did but as a tourist you may decline if your not looking to shop.

Knowledgeable egyptologist

Mahmoud provided insight regarding the development of the pyramids and the architecture and engineering- shedding new light on the massive construction. In addition, he understands the culture of the workers around the pyrrsmids and is able to navigate the obstacles.

Outstanding tour

This was a wonderful tour, including going inside the pyramids. What a memorable experience. The tour guide was outstanding, and the tour was even longer than the advertised timeframe.

Despite our insistence...

SYLVIE_L, Jan 2026

Despite our insistence with the guide to buy entrances to the inside of the Pyramid from the beginning of the excursion, he did not listen to us. As a result, when finally it was proposed to us, the line was too long and the time remaining not enough, we had to give up! This is very disappointing, and I do not understand this lack of listening and customer service!

Abbiamo fatto un giro di mezza giornata accompagnati da Ruru, una giovane guida molto gentile e preparata. Oltre alle descrizioni accurate del sito archeologico di Giza, la guida ha sorpreso per la sua abilità nel scattare foto molto belle. Come spesso capita nei giri turistici, è prevista una visita senza impegno in negozi convenzionati (papiro e gioielleria) - è stato specificato che non c'è alcuna pressione all'acquisto. L'autista aveva una macchina molto moderna, comoda e pulita. Inoltre Ruru ha dato una mano, con il suo tour operatore, per organizzare una gita in feluca per il pomeriggio.
