Beyond the tour being poorly organized, the description on Viator is misleading. Despite the overview of the tour claiming that everything is included in the price, in reality nothing other than the pickup is included in the price. You will still have to pay for each pyramid and in my experience, no lunch was provided. And despite this misleading nature, Viator will not doing anything about this. I guess it must be okay to mislead customers on the platform. Oh, and if you want a tour guide that will actually provide any information or even talk to you, this is not the tour for you. At each pyramid, we were told to wander around without any true introduction to the site or him even accompanying us. Our tour guide spent more time talking to the employees at the pyramids than to us. Truly it was a disappointing experience. So, if you want to see the Fayoum pyramids, please find another way to do so. Otherwise, you will leave feeling disappointed and like you have been scammed.

Off-beaten tour to Fayoum pyramids

A very interesting off-beaten tour for people who want to learn more about ancient Egypt besides Giza pyramids. The guide Salem is highly professional and very attentive to tourists.

The El Fayoum pyramids are amazing

Amazing trip with a very kind, helpful guide, to some amazing pyramids few venture to go to. You want to go to 3 pyramids, go inside, and have them to yourself? This is the tour to go on.

Good but over priced.

Good to see outside Cairo and the mud pyramids. Very remote and the road challenging for a car at times. The driver kept getting lost so a lot of time was wasted stopping and asking for directions. This is as they don't often do this tour. We did book last minute so not a major problem. Interesting but only one pyramid open and whilst we enjoyed it not value for money compared to the Giza and Memphis tour that we did. Over priced considering entry only 150EGP X 3 and not that much to see. lunch a buffet which was very nice.

Small gem

Ali the Guide and Youssef the driver were great and accommodating and very funny guys. The Maydum Pyramid is quite the sight to see. Otherwise theres not much more to it. Chickem lunch was a abundant and delicious. Tea was nice. This is a rare tour, but kinda worth it to see another side of Egypt that most don't get to see.

Ancient Pharaonic Buildings by Fayoum

Definitely loved the long, informative narrations throughout the trip. Anyone who loves Egyptian history will appreciate it. The guide allowed me to explore the pyramids both inside and outside by myself so that I could have many cool moments to myself. Also because these sighs aren’t as big or full as those of the Great Pyramids I had all 3 places to myself. The free lunch back in Giza and water bottles were wonderful too.
