Experience the largest museum for ancient Egyptian art with its treasures from Egypt's great past such as the gold coffin of King Tutankhamun with all its elaborate and high-quality grave goods. Our tour guide will explain the most important exhibits to you in a humorous two-hour stay and answer your questions.

Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! You will find a total of three pyramids here: the Chephren, Cheops and Mykerinos pyramids. You can discover the area on foot, on horseback or by camel.

After visiting the pyramids of Giza, you will go to the Great Sphinx, by far the largest and most preserved sphinx. It consists of a human head on a lion's body. The Sphinx was carved from the remainder of a limestone mound that served as a quarry for the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

Felucca ride on the Nile. In consultation with the tour group for a fee.

You should be ready for a long day, but absolutely worth it! Our guide Ahmed just didn’t run out of steam! He was energetic, engaging, great fun and very knowledgeable. He crammed in extra detours and stops to really give us as much of an experience of Cairo as we could have ever expected! And as for the pyramids, just wow! Truly phenomenal to be in their shadow today, you simply cannot visit Egypt and not check them out and this is the perfect tour and tour guide for exactly that! Fabulous day with fabulous people!
Amazing experience!

Such an amazing experience! The trip was incredibly well organised from the transfers to the plane and meeting our guide in Cairo. Ahmed is absolutely brilliant, we visited the pyramids, sphinx and the museum. He has an incredible knowledge of Egyptian history and could answer any question that was asked to him. We also visited the perfume and papyrus shops during the trip and took a boat trip on the Nile which was very relaxing after a long day walking. Ahmed also took us to the markets and showed us around some of the historical landmarks. We all felt very safe with our guide and couldn’t recommend the trip more. It was a long day as we started the trip with a 3am start but definitely worth the experience!

Organised. Friendly supportive guide Ahmed ✨️ what a star. So patient. Nothing too much trouble. The small group is great as gives more flexibility with each activity stay a bit longer or leave quicker. The day was full of activity. 👍 so much to see and do. Great price! TUI we're charging £120 more for the same trip.
I wish they would stop...

I wish they would stop including tourist trap market shops. This made the trip unworthwhile and wish we would've booked a tour somewhere else
Discriminatory treatment, stay away

What started out as a great experience was completely ruined which has totally ruined this holiday for us. We paid over £1,000 and were treated like third-class citizens simply because of our ethnicity and age. This tour is advertised as suitable for ages 0 to 99, yet from the very beginning, we were repeatedly told that our parents — who are in their 70s — would slow others down. They are not in wheelchairs; they simply walk a bit slower. Despite this, they completed the entire Khan Al Khalili market walk after the strenuous pyramid excursion, proving they were not a burden to anyone. The tour guide was extremely biased and unprofessional. He would deliver short, one-line explanations in English for us, but when speaking to the Italian group, he would translate in full, adding stories and extra context. It was blatantly clear who he prioritized. My mum was even publicly and rudely told not to join the Khan Al Khalili market excursion because she would “slow down the group for the others,” clearly referring to the white travelers who laughed at us. This was humiliating and completely unacceptable. We are British citizens of Indian ethnicity, and the way we were treated was disgusting and clearly discriminatory. It is 2025 — this kind of behavior should have no place in the tourism industry. Also we paid full price of the tour for my son who is a 4-year-old child, for whom all entrance fees were meant to be free — so not sure why take his money and treat his grand parents this way. I strongly urge anyone with kids or parents or someone who are not white, no matter what their nationality, to stay far away from this tour.
