If you are short on time in Cairo, this tour will let you see a lot of sights in one day. I selected it carefully based on the itinerary, and that it would pass the most important sights in the nearby valley. Apart from Giza Pyramids, also Dashur, Memphis, Step pyramid etc was visited. Some different tours have different and (at least for me) less interesting visits. As always, these tours always stop at unofficial stops at shops and workshops where they will try to show you something, and then sell you some overpriced items, giving a cut to the tour guide. This tour had three such scam-stops, one at a perfume/oil store, another at a carpet shop and then at a papyrus workshop. I managed to talk him into not stopping at the carpet one. Tip when inside: they will always offer you a complementary drink - always deny drink. Its a psychological game where they offer you something to make you feel you owe them something, so that you would be more inclined to buy something. Even something small. When you dont accept drink, they will rush through the presentation and leave you pretty much alone and you can quickly resume tour. The only problem with this tour was that i fell for the Camel-scam. One had to go with either a camel or a horse to view some special panoramic view with 9 pyramids, and they really pushed the Camel. I understood it was almost their same company (or closely affiliated) who operated the Camels. It was not expensive, but if the tour guide had cared about my finances, he would have suggested to walk instead of taking the camel. Camel was slow like a snail, and there were other tourists talking over and arriving there quicker. So if you get there, deny camel and walk yourself. I didnt do enough research to figure it out, but I am not too unhappy as the camel guy at least took some really cool photos. Although looking incredibly bored and uninterested in his job.

Our guide, Sue was excellent. She is very knowledgeable, made good recommendations regarding best viewing, photo locations, and pyramids to enter for the most interesting learning and sights. She coordinated our very full itinerary at a good pace and we saw everything as planned. Highly recommend Sue and this private tour and dedicated driver.

Marwa and our driver Hammad were fantastic during the whole trip. She knew so much about the pyramids and was able to break the information down for us really well, her English is fantastic and she was also really good at taking photos and videos for us which was amazing! Definitely recommend this

Guide never showed up. Waited an hour, then canceled the trip and booked an uber to go to Giza myself.
