A long day, but worth every minute. Everything was organised efficiently and communicated well to us, including our hotel pickup and flight details. The tour itself was superb and comprehensive, and included the stunning Grand Egyptian Museum and Pyramids of Giza, both of which it goes without saying are must-sees. Our tour guide, Remon, was extremely knowledgeable, spoke multiple languages, and ensured we felt safe, very well informed and entertained throughout. A magnificent day.

Great day out

Christopher_A, Mar 2026

It is a great day out, the Pyramids and Grand Egyptian museum are exceptional and worth the trip. It is a long day, pick up time 3:30am and get back 10 ish, the travel was well organised. Minah, our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic that it made the day special. Couple of things to note, if you are picked up outside of Hurghada, eg Makadi bay there is small cash surcharge payable to the driver, and due to flight times we had over 3 hours at Cairo prior to flight home but don’t let that stop you from enjoying the day

Exceptional

Irina_S, Jan 2026

I purchased this day trip to the pyramids in Giza and the GEM online from viator only 2 weeks in advance for $1200. I received reminders on time from viator. I almost missed this day trip by plane from Hurghada to Cairo due to my initial flight to Hurghada rescheduled. Initially, it took 6 hours to reach the local travel agency. But, when I finally reached A Z Travel Hurghada /HurghadaToGo local travel agency, Ahmed from customer service provided huge assistance to me. He helped me make it to the domestic Hurghada to Cairo flight on time: the takeoff time was at 05:30am so I needed to make the checkin at 04:30am. He gave us contact info of the fast track service at the Hurghada airport which helped my family obtain Egyptian tourist visas and go through security very quickly. He also sent a driver to pick us up from the international flights terminal and to take us to the domestic flights terminal. In addition, the driver provided storage of our luggage while we were in Cairo for this day trip. Ahmed also called our hotel in Hurghada to inform it of my late arrival. I was close to requesting to cancel the trip altogether without getting a refund, but Ahmed made it possible for me to make it to this trip on time. Our personal Egyptologist tour guide, Wessal, was exceptional. My 13 year old son was very impressed of her knowledge: asked her a lot of questions. She was also able to take us to additional visit to the papyrus shop and Nile river boat ride. She made this expensive trip worthwhile. I would highly recommend this trip.

Comprehensive Cairo Day tour.

Very intense day but...

Very intense day but worth it :) Guides might try to push you into experiences you don’t want - but respect your wishes. GEM is a great experience - plan enough time for the visit.

Very well organized...

Norbert_S, Oct 2025

Very well organized tour, very nice, competent guide, good lunch in a restaurant with buffet. Have received everything as requested. Departure 7:00, return late in the evening 21:30.

Excellente journée

Dangelo_j, Aug 2024

Nous avons apprécié la visite en petit comité et à notre rythme( journée avec 4 enfants). La gentillesse et les connaissances du guide, Momo. Le sérieux du prestataire . Et évidemment nous avons aimé la beauté des lieux
