5.00Very nice trip. Good organized. A guide Sommer was so nice and shared with us a lot of information. No long waiting. A driver picked up us from hotel. Everything was great.
Basic. Felt like a tourist trap

3.00This was an average experience. We left the tour with not much new information which was disappointing because we felt there was so much to uncover like the mathematical precision, alignment with the stars, all that. Our tour took probably 3 hours and we spent about 1.5 hours at the pyramids. So kept wondering why we took the tour. After the tour we were taken to the only government approved papyrus shop and Egyptian oil shop which slightly ruined the tour for us as it was yet another tourist trap. Obviously post the trip we did our research to find this was not true. The tourist trap started with a camell ride $25pp to take a 5 min ride to go to the “best picture spot”. This was the biggest waste of money cus it added no value to the tour. And we were told we had too however it’s something we could’ve walked too. The pictures were good though so can’t complain all the way. But not worth even $10. After that we were directed to buy souvenirs which were over priced as usual. At this point we had spent an unplanned $95!!! All this before we even started the pyramid tour. The tour itself was less than an hour. Our guide was nice though so it’s a tour that could be better, however the tourist traps ruin it. You’re better off researching and going in on your own in our opinion after doing the tour.
Nice walk in Giza, amazing pics
