Took my two kids (ages 6 and 10) on this tour, and honestly it was EPIC! Our guide Ahmed knew all the good photo spots and even let the kids ask sooo many questions about the pyramids—he never seemed bored. Super hot day but they kept us stocked with cold water. Heads up: camel ride is bumpy (my youngest LOVED it, my back not so much). Also, we got hassled a bit by sellers near the entrance, but our guide kinda ran interference. Would def recommend for families, but bring hats and sunscreen or you'll fry.

Went solo, joined a small group tour. The Sphinx was smaller than I thought (lol) but the pyramids blew my mind. Guide was friendly, a bit hard to hear sometimes though because it got soooo windy. We stopped for tea at a local place after, which was unexpected and nice. Watch out for aggressive vendors, they’re everywhere. All in all, totally worth it for the history alone.

The guide was friendly and told good stories, but honestly we spent too much time at the souvenir shops. Wish there was more actual time at the pyramids themselves. Not sure I’d do this exact tour again, but still, the pyramids are a must-see.

    Really interesting tour, but the group was bigger than I thought. Guide made sure everyone got their turn for photos. The camel ride was kind of scary at first but then fun. Pro tip: wear closed shoes—it’s sandy everywhere.
