guide and agency is absurd. they are so bossy and no repspect to tourist

JIEUN_K, Feb 2025

I must write a review for this because the agency and guide was horrible though i didn't go to the trip actucally. i booked the tour before one month and the guide contact to me right before late afternoon and tell me he's gonna pick me up at 8 and just gone on the chat. I was so mad because I booked it for 9 o'clock and I replyed to him quickly to change the time, but he didn't reply until next morning. during the no response time, i was so upset I contact to viator and i show them guide to me to meet me when he wants and just gone and no negotiation or reply about it. and vitor told me that since it's right before the tour i cannot get the refund due to terms and condition. so I told them isn't their a terms and condition for tourists. it was so unfair. it was tour guide and agency's fault who contact me late and being bossy and no communication but why do i have to lose my money without any fault of mine. and then later on this whole situation agency contact me and bragging about this whole situation and told me they can give me 50% back. it was absurd. i didnt accept it and i told them to contact viator since i have zero trust with them. this tour agency and guide is so irresposible and I must tell this to hoping to no more tourist have ruin their day cuase of these kinda situation.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for the context. Here's the response: --- Thank you for sharing your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation caused you. First, we want to acknowledge that our communication fell short of the standard we hold ourselves to. Our guide reached out to you later than expected due to severe traffic congestion caused by heavy rainfall in Cairo that day. However, that does not excuse the lack of timely follow-up to your message. When you raised a concern about the pickup time, you deserved a prompt response, and we failed to provide that. We fully understand how upsetting it must have been to feel unheard, especially the evening before your tour. We also understand your frustration regarding the refund process. Our intention in offering a partial refund was to find a resolution, but we recognize that given the circumstances, this may not have felt adequate. This experience has been a serious learning moment for our team. We are implementing stricter communication protocols to ensure that every guest receives timely, respectful, and clear communication — especially when unexpected circumstances arise. A simple message explaining the situation could have prevented this entire experience. We deeply regret that your trip was affected and would welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter fairly. Please feel free to contact us directly at info@pyramidsland.com. Warm regards, Pyramids Land Tours Team

An amazing day, fantastic value for...

An amazing day, fantastic value for money. Friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver in a comfy minivan. Picked up from our hotel, went to Memphis, then Saqqara had lunch overlooking the pyramids. Highly recommend booking this tour. Family of 9 who had an amazing day together. 5 star service !!
