I liked the tour guide the best. He was a nice, friendly person. He was attentive, explained things clearly, answered my questions, and takes great photos.

The group was made of just 3 people and the guide Ibrahim was excellent: he gave us a lot of information and reminded the basic rules to follow on site.

Guide knew his stuff! I got to see all the pyramids at Giza an all my questions answered. It was Friday so very busy with kids everywhere. Nice to see them enjoying Giza.

Walk around the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre & Menkaure and learn about their engineering, history, and ancient construction.

Stand before the Great Sphinx and explore the Valley Temple, uncovering symbolism and royal burial rituals.

Visit smaller tombs, causeways & monuments across the plateau for a fuller understanding of the Giza necropolis.

Choose between a shared tour or a private tour with a dedicated guide and a customizable itinerary.
