This is the tour you want to take!
Our family had a really special time taking a tour with Farrag. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was also very kind and took a lot of great pictures of us along the tour. Ahmed was our driver and he played great music for us in the car. We highly recommend both - they were very welcoming.

Brilliant tour!
Highly recommend Simon as a tour guide, she gave us just the perfect amount of detail in English about the sights, and was super helpful and energetic!

Showed me everything I wanted to see for about $150.
tour hit pretty much everything I was looking for with the Pyramids.
Started off at the Egyptian antiquities museum after picking us up from the airport hotel(there is a $10 dollar charge per person for airport pickups) The guide met us at the museum. The line to get into the museum is quite long, but it moves fairly quick. Took about 15 minutes to go through security and then actual entry. Our tour guide Farrag was very knowledgeable about the artifacts and took us through the different areas of the museum. the museum tour is roughly 2 hours long and though the Tutankhamun exhibit is still there you are not allowed to take pictures of that section.
After the museum we were taken to a papyrus shop where we were shown how papyrus was made and shown various papyrus scrolls for sale( to help appreciate Egypt's history). Most of the items on the wall are for sale in multiple sizes and listed for much higher than they actually sell for. one of my companions bought a scroll for 150 USD but it was listed for around 450 USD. Like every where in Egypt haggling is a thing. I got 2 listed at 80 for 40 each.
After the papyrus shop we were taken to the perfume/spices shop( supposedly you wear good scents before you enter the pyramid historically). This place touts well known perfumes/colognes made without the cutting alcohol to reduce the harshness. Personally I don't wear cologne so I have no real opinion on this part, but one of my traveling companions seemed very impressed by this portion and bought several bottles. They sell sizes from 75ml 100ml and 2 larger sizes i didnt pay attention too. My companion bought 3 100ml bottles and got a 4th free for what amounted to around 110 USD. He gave me one of the bottles filled with Amon Ra(Dior Homme). I had no issues bringing this through security in my carry on. After the perfume pitch, they did the same thing with spices, but we did not get any.
After the perfume shop we were finally taken to the pyramids. Its an additional 30 USD to actually go inside the main pyramid. What they dont tell you is that the tunnel to the burial room is quite small and not suitable for older folks or less fit people. you will spend a good 15- 20 minutes just crouched down trying to climb up the steep tunnels. Children should be fine as the primary issue is just being crouched down for so long, being short is a pro here(I am not). you physically climb up the first pyramid a bit but the other 2 are just visual observations. You can book a camel ride for an extra 20 USD for about 30 minutes to get closer to the other 2. I very much enjoyed the camel ride and the better views you get from the other side, but it may not be for everyone.
After you have your fill of the pyramids, the guide takes you up to the panoramic view area to get better photos of the area. There are many shops around this area. The stock is pretty much the same as everywhere else.
The next part is the sphinx. Surprisingly small from what I thought. Still big, but miniscule next to the pyramids.
After this we went to get lunch at a Local fast food place. They gave us some riders(like pita calzones). they were pretty good. no complaints.
Finally we went to what they called the cotton factory(this was actually like a department store) souvenirs, clothes, luggage, stuff like that. Bought a few things.
$99 for tour
$10 for airport pickup
$30 for pyramid
$20 for camel ride
Honestly it was annoying that we got funneled to the shops but, I saw everything I wanted to and the guide seemed to know what he was talking about and cared a lot for the history of Egypt. $150 to see all the big things in a place I'm probably never going to see again was worth the trade off to me. Overall i'm totally satisfied with the experience, but I can see other people having some misgivings about the lack of info on the additional expenses and shop stops

Perfect Day in Giza
Our trip to Giza was perfect! We were picked up at our hotel and our guide, Ahmed, took care of everything for us. We also visited the Sphinx, a perfumery, spice merchant and a bazaar. Ahmed was very knowledgeable and engaging. He knew all of the right people to talk to in order to make our day unforgettable. Ahmed is the best!!

A seamless tour around the most hectic locations
Overall an amazing experience only made better by Marco our tour guide and Abdul our Driver but certainly ways to improve. The cost of a private tour was definitely worth it and made it a more personal experience.
Marco was very knowledgeable and had amazing communication skills. His experience made the day, knowing every museum staff member, security staff or police. He was able to skip all the queues and get us places other tourists didn’t go through generous “tips” to people (didn’t cost us at all).
He was always checking if we wanted more food or water and was always on hand to take photos of us. Every question we had was expertly answered, not only about the venues but Egypt as a whole.
Abdul took immense pride in the cleanliness of the vehicle and was always on hand ready to pick us up when we were ready to move onto the next venue. His driving was one of the safest journeys we’ve had so far in Egypt.
Now for the critiques, whilst I still rate the whole experience as a 5 star trip there was aspects that detracted. We went to two extra venues, a perfume store (King Soliman) and a papyrus store. In both they performed an educational demonstration before leading into a sales pitch. It felt slightly disingenuous and very much like a targeted tourist trap. Both were not pushy but still unnecessary extra for an otherwise brilliant day. Whilst I’m fully aware these businesses probably pay for the addition to the itinerary, it left a slightly bitter taste.
Overall though through the help of Marco and Abdul, our experience of visiting the typical touristy locations was made seamless and I would gladly book again for other tours of Cairo.

Excellent day out with Nevin
Nevin was outstanding . Excellent communication before we arrived and very flexible with what we wanted to see and visit.
She’s very knowledgeable, knows all the good spots for the best photos and gets you where you need to be without any hassle or queues.
She kept her positive energy throughout the whole day and having her as our guide definitely made the day so much more enjoyable.

知識豊富な完璧なアドベンチャー。
ムハンマドという素晴らしいツアーガイド名が1日を2つの博物館で過ごし、博物館のポイントや歴史を全部見せてくれた。また、博物館が所蔵する工芸品のすべてに精通していました。間違いなく素晴らしいガイドを探している私の友人や家族に彼を要求するでしょう。食べ物もおいしく、運転手のマルコは、私たちをあちこちに運ぶのがとても上手でした。とても丁寧で丁寧。知識豊富な時間を求めているなら必ずリクエストしてください。

最高のガイドと一緒にピラミッドを観光します。
あなたが知識が豊富で楽しい本物のツアーガイドをご希望の場合は、失望することはありません。ホテルに迎えに来てから、昼過ぎに再び降ろされるまで、退屈な瞬間はありませんでした。写真撮影から、ピラミッドの歴史とピラミッドが建てられた理由を学ぶラクダに乗って-完全に完全な完全な完全な午前中-行が含まれていない-このツアーガイドは、任意の行の前面にあなたを取得し、私を信じて、それはよくこのツアーガイドで予約する価値があります。NEVINを推薦できないので、がっかりしません - 今エジプトに新しい友達がいます🙌🏼 - 時間があったので、また、私はソロツアーだったので、言及するのを忘れ、我々はまた、エンターテイメントの別のレベルであった香水店を訪問しました。何もあまりにも多くのトラブルとすべての素晴らしい学習体験で。

ギザへの素晴らしい訪問。
ギザでピラミッドとスフィンクを見学した後、グランドミュージアムへ。ガイドのニーヴンは素晴らしく、非常に情報が豊富で、知識が豊富で、必要な地元のコネが明らかにあり、私たちの経験は本当に価値のあるものでした。
我々は十分にニーヴン、幻想的な英語を推奨することはできませんし、あなたがカリオへの訪問のためのガイドが必要な場合は、私はあなたがより良いものを見つけるかどうかを疑う

最高のツアー&ツアーガイド!
ジョージとネヴィンはとても親切でフレンドリーで、とても助かりました!ピラミッドとスフィンクスで最高の時間を過ごした後、地元の香水店に立ち寄り、すべての香水を試飲し、昼食をごちそうになりました。ネヴィンは本当に知識が豊富で、この地域を深く発見し、待ち行列をスキップし、素晴らしい写真を撮ることができました。ジョージは終始私たちのドライバーで、エジプトに関する多くの質問に答え、帰りにオールドカイロのツアーでドライブをしてくれました。エジプトが提供しているものをもっと探って、戻ったらまた連絡します!
