Itinerary
Meet your guide at your Cairo hotel, and make the trip to the Giza Plateau in a comfortable, air conditioned car. Take a walk through the Saharan sand at the base of King Cheops’ Great Pyramid, which is the oldest and largest of Giza’s three pyramids and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Hear the most respected (and outrageous) theories about how the pyramids were built, then learn how the pyramids would have looked to ancient Egyptians.
Continue to the pyramids built by Khafre and Menkaure, and follow the ways that pyramid construction changed over time. Stand at the feet of the Great Sphinx as your guide shares the myths and legends behind the half-lion, half-human monument, the oldest and largest monumental statue in the world.
Descend to the mortuary complex at the valley temple, which was buried in sand until the 19th-century. Discover what is known—and what remains a mystery—about this gorgeously preserved site, then finish the tour with return transfer to your Cairo hotel.

The worst tour!!!
Nobody came to pick me up,
Sent a lot of messages, never answered
No way to refund, and I lost my chance to tour the pyramids.
I wasted time money and my feelings of the first day in Egypt

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience — this is absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide.
We take this matter very seriously, as missing a pickup is unacceptable. It seems there may have been a communication issue, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment this caused, especially on your first day in Egypt.
Please contact us directly with your booking details so we can urgently investigate what happened and offer a proper resolution, including a full refund or a complimentary rescheduled tour.
Your experience does not reflect our usual standards, and we would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to make things right.

The guide was very knowledgeable and explain all in a very detail, the drivers was in time and we had a great time. Be careful with the camels owner, they will do all their best to scow you and get the maximum of your pocket. Don’t give more then 5$ each as we pay. We had to négociate to get into this deal. Don’t let them stress you.

時間ぴったりにロビーに迎えに来てもらいツアーが無事はじまり、事前説明通りの内容で安心でした。ガイドさんも我々の英語レベルに合わせていただき助かりました。３つのピラミッドで特にクフ王とカプラー王の見学とスフィンクスを見学でき、ラクダにも乗れました(チョッピリ怖い^ - ^)面白い体験でした。
車も食事も良かった。おすすめのツアーです。
Response from Host, May 2026
この度はご参加いただき、そして素敵なご感想をありがとうございます！
ツアーが予定通りスムーズに始まり、内容にもご安心いただけたとのこと、大変嬉しく思います。ガイドがお客様の英語レベルに合わせてご案内できたことも、快適にお楽しみいただけたポイントの一つで何よりです。
クフ王・カフラー王のピラミッドやスフィンクスの見学、そしてラクダ体験まで満喫していただけたようで嬉しいです（少しドキドキしますよね！）。
お車やお食事にもご満足いただけたとのこと、ありがとうございます。
またエジプトでお会いできる日を心より楽しみにしております！
