Aida_S, Feb 2026

To see Giza Pyramids was wonderful. Same as experience at the Grand Museum. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The only thing I would say that the time spent at the objects were too short. We were given only 20 minutes to explore the pyramids. Considering we have arrived from Sharm El Shake and the trip was 6 hours length to Cairo, I expected better quality time at the Pyramids. However, to see the Pyramids was spectacular.

A fantastic experience with a wonderful guide

Taz_J, Nov 2025

I took a chance booking this trip since it was pricier and had only three—though very recent—5-star reviews. It offered more than the others, and the risk paid off. We arrived in Sharm, where no visa was needed, but we needed one for the pyramids. Four hours before the tour, the operator arranged our visas. It cost $10 extra, but it was absolutely worth it. Emad, a very kind representative, came to our hotel, drove us 15 minutes to the airport, and had our passports stamped within minutes. We expected a long day based on other reviews, but everyone said it was worth it—and they were right. Our drivers were great, stopping for breaks along the way. In Cairo we met our guide, Ahmed Hassan, who was so knowledgeable and engaging that we felt like we could spend a whole week with him. He answered every question, kept us laughing, and made the day feel like a trip with friends. He even took amazing photos of us—we told him he should consider photography! (Lol) Thank you so much to everyone that was involved to make this trip a wonderful experience.

Cairo day tour

Tiwalade_A, Nov 2025

A long day but worth it, got to see all parts of Cairo. The guide very friendly and knowledgable, who goes above and beyond. Cannot fault it.

Beatrice_F, Feb 2026

The first part was very good. The pyramids, the sphinx the museum. The boat ride 10€ per person to pass by very ugly buildings, a real scam. We do not approach Cairo because departure is ghize and 20 minutes round trip so we can see from a very far distance the great tower and other buildings of Cairo which must surely be nice to see.
