I booked a private, full-day tour of the Pyramids at Giza, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Ibrahim was great. He was friendly, and since it was just me with him, it seemed like I was walking around and visiting with a friend, though one who was very knowledgeable about ancient history. If you let him know there are things you want to take your time with, he can be responsive to that. He has good advice about how to plan the tour so that you visit the key spots before crowds are too large. These sites are a lot to fit into one day, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, when they close early. Some group tours can be really rushed, but with the private one, you can have more flexibility to choose where you spend more time. I recommend Ibrahim!

Hayam is a superb guide, speaks excellent English and really conveyed the richness of Egyptian culture with her extensive knowledge. This is a tour full of sights and artefacts (pyramids, Sphinx and GEM) and Hayam manages to get the balance right, always maintaining your interest. It was a wonderful day, thank you! Gareth

The guide was patient and very knowledgebale and kind , we learned alot and he was also a good photographer, however the lunch wasnt authentic egyptiannfood like he hoped for , it was catered to tourists and didnt really stand out. Apart from that it a good experiance , id say it was worth it .

We had a wonderful and very informative day with our guide Reda, who shared his knowledge with us throughout the day. Ahmed, our driver, also accompanied us throughout the day, which was great. Thank you to the whole team for this experience, we highly recommend them!

It was a wonderful day and a truly unforgettable experience to finally see the pyramids, something I have dreamed of since childhood. Having a knowledgeable tour guide made the visit even more enjoyable and effortless, allowing me to fully focus on the experience itself. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It saves both time and energy, and the personal interaction makes a huge difference. Communicating with a real guide is far more engaging and enriching than listening to a recorded voice through a headset.

Explore Cairo's most iconic ancient sites on a fully guided full-day tour, the perfect hassle-free pick for first-time visitors to Egypt.

Stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Great Sphinx, then discover Saqqara's 4,700-year-old Step Pyramid and the ruins of Memphis (Route 1).

Or step inside the Grand Egyptian Museum's and see 100,000+ artifacts including Tutankhamun's treasures, then explore the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar (Route 2).

Choose between a private tour for a more personalised, intimate experience or a shared tour for a more budget-friendly option.

Hotel pickup and drop-off, A/C transport, a licensed local guide, and a traditional Egyptian lunch are all included in your tour.
