I had my Japanese guide buy me a ticket to enter the pyramid and he took 40$ for a 27$ ticket. I signed up for a Japanese tour from the beginning, but at the end they charge me an extra $40 for a Japanese guide option. They took me to a high souvenir shop.

In front of the Grand Egyptian Museum, the last part of the tour, the Japanese guide finishes and leaves first, when the driver of the car demands an additional $40 for the Japanese guide. Even though I signed up for a high-priced tour in Japanese from the start. Show them what the instructions for other cheap English tours say: "Optional $40 extra to attach a guided tour of another country" and ask for it. I'm not convinced when I show them the tour instructions in Japanese, which include my Japanese guide. I paid in tears because I had to be driven from the museum to my hotel. It is clearly a fraud. They then demand a good rating in the car to the hotel. We also ate lunch in the city's fast-food-like places with nothing but simple mixed rice and Coke. When I try to shop there, my guide won't let me in because it's expensive or fake. The souvenir shop they took me to was apparently a shop where Tutankhamun figurines could be bought at the stall for $4 and sold for $10. He tried to sell a necklace with his name engraved on it for 50,000 yen, but he did not buy it. The Japanese guide was very enthusiastic about the explanation and took a lot of photos, so that was good. However, I signed up for this Japanese tour because it was well received, but I can't recommend it to anyone else. If you still apply, I think you should be careful about the above. At the souvenir shop where you are taken, you will be served a drink at the beginning, but be careful if you drink it, it will be harder to refuse!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We respect every guest’s opinion, but we would like to clarify some important points for future travelers. The additional 40 USD fee for Japanese-speaking guides is clearly mentioned in the tour options and booking details before confirmation. This charge applies to non-English guiding services and is visible during the reservation process on Viator. Regarding the shopping stops, all visits are completely optional. There was no pressure or obligation to purchase anything, and guests are always free to decline shopping or buying souvenirs. We would also like to mention that Khan El Khalili Bazaar was not included in the itinerary of this tour. The tour was operated exactly as described in the official program, including the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, and Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). We are happy to hear that you appreciated the Japanese guide’s historical explanations and photography assistance during the tour. Our team always works hard to provide informative and memorable experiences for visitors exploring Cairo and the ancient wonders of Egypt. For all future guests, we kindly recommend reading the full tour description and included/excluded services carefully before booking to ensure the tour matches personal expectations

I fell in love with Egypt.

I really recommend it!!! I had very good memories. The driver and Fuad, the Japanese guide, were just nicer. If you are a Japanese watching this review, I would love to have a Japanese guide. First of all, I was unable to get to the meeting point because I had taken the wrong taxi, but as soon as I got in touch, he came to pick me up. Even things that are not included in the tour can be granted if you ask. It's nice to see if it's worth the price when you want to shop. It was my first trip to Egypt, so I was prepared to go with the pickpockets, but there was no sign of that at all, so I was safe to go. We spent more cash than we had expected because we had trouble getting museum tickets online and had to get them instead, and the option of a Japanese guide was paid later, so I think it would be a good idea to bring more cash.

It was a very satisfying tour. I was looking for a tour that would give me a thorough explanation of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a Japanese guide, and I found this tour and joined it. The tour will be run by a driver and a Japanese speaking guide. The English-speaking driver first picked us up at the hotel, and we were joined on the way by our Japanese-speaking guide, Tameru. Tameru is a truly amazing guide and I would highly recommend anyone who books this tour to be named. In December 2025, he was also appointed as a guide for famous YouTubers, and he was knowledgeable and experienced. Thanks to Tamer, it was one of the most memorable days of my trip. First, we headed to the pyramids of Giza, where they showed us around efficiently while keeping the highlights in mind, so we were able to enjoy a fulfilling sightseeing experience even in a limited time. They took pictures very well and I was able to enjoy the camel experience that I had hoped for for for a short time. I also bought an extra ticket to visit the inside of the pyramid, but the inside is quite a steep and physical journey, so I recommend it for those who are confident in their physical strength. After that, as soon as we left the exit, the driver came to meet us and took us to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Since it was the first day of Ramadan and the museum was closing early, they rescheduled lunch for later visits, which was a great consideration as we also wanted to take a closer look at the museum. In the limited time we had in the museum, it was really fun and time passed so quickly, thanks to Tamer's wealth of knowledge and clear, humorous commentary. Later, my interest expanded to the point where I watched and researched Egypt-related YouTube videos with my family, and it was a learning experience. After the tour, we had lunch at an Egyptian buffet restaurant, and then stopped by a shop where we could make hieroglyphic accessories and a spice shop as they asked us if there were any souvenir shops we wanted to visit. They don't have to stop by if there is no particular hope. I bought a pendant top with my name written in hieroglyphics and a T-shirt. At the spice shop, I bought mixed spices and dates to go with meat and fries. When shopping, Tameru was able to get between us and the people at the store to help us make the purchase at a price we were happy with. At the end, Tameru and I parted ways, but he was such a knowledgeable and helpful guide that I would definitely ask him to do it the next time I visit Egypt. I didn't have much opportunity to talk to the driver while sightseeing, but he came to pick me up smoothly at the right time and I was able to travel comfortably in a seven-seater car. For those who want a thorough tour of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a Japanese-language guide, this tour is a genuine recommendation.

As it turns out, I'm very satisfied! They kept in touch with us via the whats app until the tour started, so we were able to welcome them on the day with peace of mind. The local guides who spoke Japanese were very knowledgeable and explained things everywhere. It has given me an insight into the history of Egypt, the details of Tutankhamun and the greatness of Ramses the Great. The local restaurant I went into for lunch was also very good in the buffet format. Is there anywhere else you'd like to drop in with a little extra time at the end? I asked him if he wanted to go to a shop selling alcohol because he wanted to drink alcohol, and he agreed. I'm so glad I made the reservation!
