Overview

Mobile ticket
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.

5.00I was a solo traveler and really enjoyed this tour. My guide, Robert, was very friendly and provided me with history, tourist tips, and pictures. The lunch was very good too. This next part is not a criticism of the tour, but just a tip for future travelers. I would recommend spending less time at the pyramids and more time at the GEM. Of the two places, I personally found the GEM more interesting. I could have spent a full day there.
10/10. Mahmoud Abdelfattah made our day and our trip. World’s best tour guide!!!

5.00Mahmoud Abdelfattah is the single best tour guide we have ever met. He not only made our day unforgettable - he made us enjoy Egypt as a whole. We had other tour guides as well, and they were nothing compared to Mahmoud Abdelfattah. My girlfriend and I could not have asked for a better tour guide in the whole world. This man is truly remarkable. His knowledge is actually impressive, we couldn’t believe how much he knew. On top of this - he was able to adapt and make changes to his style of guiding depending on how we were feeling. Mahmoud Abdelfattah you are the best. I wish I booked every single tour with you and only you!

5.00Nour was so professional and experienced. He knew how to make the tour to be on time. Good spots to make photos, and items to focus on at the museum. Yet, very flexible enough to change the schedule according to what you want to do, and see. Definitely, a highlight of the time spent in Cairo. After the tour, he even checked on me, if I needed any help to get around in Cairo. Gave me so much information about Cairo, and Egypt in general during the tour as well. This is why we take such tours!
Incredible experience

5.00The experience was amazing! The guide Phoebe made all the difference on the tour. She contacted in advance, was extremely punctual and showed a lot of professionalism. In addition, she is an excellent photographer — she recorded unique moments with a lot of quality. During the whole tour was attentive, kind and always willing to help. I highly recommend!

3.00The experince is very mixed but I am happy I crossed off Egypt from my list. The tour company was very responsive on my request which is positive and also the view and GEM!! I could not understand two third of English the local tour guide tried to say and he talked the way like daunting citing, for example when we got to a place, he would start citing about then stoped like he was finished. He def not as interest in pyramids as us visitors but mroe interest scouting random tourists especailly young ladies, which made me feel very awkward. Also while i could not catch up his english, so sometime I asked a quesiton that he might have cited about earlier, he would say " i have told you ....". This def happened twice during my 6 hours tour, which was supposed to be 8 hours but i decided to cut it short to relieve all of us LOL.

5.00We traveled with the Company UTS Tours Egypt and we were delighted with the care and time they took looking after us. Asmaa Soliman was incredibly helpful arranging the tour to suit our needs. Our guide Eldahly was so knowledgeable that we can only count ourselves so lucky to have him showing us around. I cannot recommend more highly.
