On this private Cairo day tour, you’ll journey through the layers of Egypt’s ancient glory, beginning with the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza — the Great Pyramid of Khufu, that of Khafre, and Menkaure — timeless monuments rising from the golden sands since the 4th Dynasty, around 2500 B.C. Enjoy a 30-minute camel ride through the Sahara, circling these wonders as the Great Sphinx watches over the plateau with its eternal gaze. Savor a traditional lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the pyramids before continuing to the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum, where the treasures of pharaohs come alive — colossal statues, gleaming artifacts, and the full collection of Tutankhamun displayed together for the first time — an unforgettable encounter with 5,000 years of civilization.

Amazing first day in Egypt

5.00My first encounter with Zeinab was a sweet message checking if I had arrived in Egypt and a very warm welcome message. Zeinab is meticulous and vey well organized. She adjusted the start time and helped us with settling into Egypt on our 1st day. Her warmth, hospitality, support and detailed planning enabled us to do so much that we were not expecting. I was traveling with my parents so I had planned to lead the entire day but she made everything so carefree and effortless that I found myself switching my brain off and relaxing. I am definitely booking a tour with her again. Excellent communication and just a pleasant person to be around. The driver was great as well.

2.00The tour guide was definitely not an Egyptologist. She had no idea about the sites we visited, constantly tried to check information on the internet, was not able to answer to our questions and even sharing incorrect information about important artifacts. The car and the food was good but this is not what matters most when you visit the Pyramids and GEM and have paid an overpriced private tour. The service we received did not reflect the description when booking it.

5.00We had an amazing day and we are happy for choosing this tour. We are family with to small children and even them enjoyed it. Our guide Fatima was very professional, she has so much knowledge about Egyptian history, answered questions and explained everything quite clearly. She organized our tour based on our needs due to the fact we had children, we didn’t feel any rush and she was very kind and friendly. We did the camel ride first, loved it, and then went to pyramids and sphinx, very impressive. After that went for lunch and it was surprisingly delicious, I was worried that the kids wouldn’t like it but they loved it as we did. Big buffet with so many choices, kofte and hummus was extremely tasty. And last but not least the GEM, we’re thrilled from the very first moment. Overall it was worth it and enjoyable. Really recommend it as we were satisfied with our guide and with the driver also, he drove really carefully. Must do tour..!!

5.00My first time in Cairo a solo trip, I was amazed with all the environmental vibes, lots of traffic people around, camels , horses, etc. This tour was the high point of my trip! Moshira was a great guide all the explanations very well understandable. She was very kind and patient during all trip! I had a great day with her! Totally recommend this tour - Gize piramyds, GEM, local shops and fabric. Good lunch at a local restaurant with typical Egyptian food! Thank you all!
A must when visiting Cairo!

5.00We had the best day together with our tour guide, Mahmoud Hoka, and our driver, Peter. Our guide was very professional, and we could tell he had a lot of knowledge about Egyptian history, as he shared information throughout the day when we were visiting the different places. We went to ride camels, see the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Great Egyptian Museum, to mention some. During the day we learned so much about Egypt, and he also gave us useful information on what to do and not, when you're a tourist in Egypt, which made it easier for us the rest of our vacation. The whole day was done in our own pace, which made the experience so good, as we didn't have to rush from place to place, but got to spend some extra time where we wanted, and a shorter time other places. We also got to visit spice stores and oil/perfume stores where we could buy some nice gifts. Our guide also helped us take amazing photos by both the pyramids and the Sphinx. We were extremely satisfied with our day, and would definitely recommend this trip if you're visiting Cairo!
Regret taking this tour

3.00The guide Mimo and the driver Peter were nice, but the tour itself was so rushed and skipped the details of Pyramids and GEM. Half of the time was in the shops where they were selling much higher prices. I regret taking this tour as I missed a lot despite of my dream Pyramids trip.
