Visite nécessaire mais avis mitigé sur l’activité proposée.
Visite un peu au pas de charge d’une partie seulement du plateau de Gizeh avec entrée à l’intérieur de la pyramide de Khéops ; il est préférable de ne pas prendre d’activité combinée, notamment comme celle de Saqqarah le même jour, et ce, afin de pouvoir avoir suffisamment de temps pour profiter de cette visite des pyramides. Température très élevée à l’intérieur et manque d’aération. Le guide reste à l’extérieur. Ses informations et explications sont assez limitées. Pour information, le prix pour la visite complète y compris celle à l’intérieur de la pyramide de Khéops s’élève à 1000 livres égyptiennes soit environ 18 €.

Egyptian Great Pyramid tour - a worthwhile whistle stop tour!
We were picked up at our hotel on time, we were then introduced to our lovely tour guide Nancy and our driver Mr Muhammad. Nancy stopped and got us bottles of water on the way to the pyramids. When we arrived at the pyramids site, Nancy came in with us and sorted our entry fee. She then took us around the museum to give us an overview of the pyramids before getting the bus to the first site.
Nancy was knowledgeable, funny and spoke perfect english. We followed the hop on hop off bus tour. She allowed us time at each of the sites, on our own to have a look around and take pictures.
Nancy offered to help us set up any additional excursions at each stop such as camel rides. We went for a trip to the first bazaar, my advice would be to get the money you are looking to part with in your hand and see how much you can get for it. The variation in prices for items is easily 1000% throughout the various shops.
We visited the outside of each of the pyramids and went inside the great pyramid (Khufu). Guides are not allowed to come in and continue the tour inside. The King’s chamber is incredible and definitely worth the 10 minutes of crouching and squeezing up the stairs. Would not recommend this for anyone infirm, ladders and crouch walking on a steep incline in 40 degree heat required.
Following this we headed down to the Sphinx which was an incredible sight to see in real life. Nancy took us into the viewing point giving us more information about it on our way in. We then got time to explore ourselves and take pictures, before Nancy called Mr Muhammad to pick us up.
We then went to visit an art shop which used papyrus and got a demonstration on how ancient Egyptians would have used this, which was very cool to see. We then got time to look at the art to see if there was anything we wanted to buy - we didn’t buy anything. We then went to a jewellery shop downstairs, again we got time to look around but we did not buy anything. We were then offered to go to an oils and perfume shop and a carpet shop but we refused as we were ready to go back to the hotel. Nancy was fine with this and Mr Muhammad took us back to our hotel. There was an option to go to the Grand Museum too, however we had been the day before.
When we got back to our hotel we thanked Nancy and Mr Muhammad for a fantastic experience and tipped them.

A VIP experience of Giza, Saqqara and Abusir
A tour of 3 experienced Egypt travellers wanting to see esoteric sites not normally visited. We required VIP service and assistance gaining permits and permissions. Our guides Aref and Mahmoud were exceptional. Our travel consultant Shahd Ehab was wonderful. A professional who guided and assisted us at all stages of the process.

Amazing Experience
So booked the guide + travel + entrance fees. It was worth every penny, made the experience so much better.
Our guide Aref was knowledgeable and entertaining, took some great photos for us.
Having a professional guide really does improve the experience.
The driver always had water when we needed it, we enjoyed the trip so much we ended up paying more to extend the day by going to the new Grand Egyptian Museum which was excellent! Aref recommended a great place for lunch afterwards.
Couldn’t of had a better experience

Emozionante visita all'interno delle piramidi
Abbiamo provato l'esperienza di entrare in una delle 7 meraviglie del mondo antico ed abbiamo ancora la pelle d'oca. Grazie alla nostra guida Aiman abbiamo scoperto tante cose che non conoscevamo e ci ha consigliato tanto quando dovevamo andare nella piramide. Nel complesso è stata un'ottima scelta scegliere questa società affidabilissima

Super experience, but very expensive compared to local price levels.
This was a very well organized, a good VIP view, very informative and a very good way to see all the highlights of the Cheops pyramids and the Sphinx. My only point is the 180 USD pricing, which is way too high compared to the local price levels. I think they still can make a very high profit if they would ask 90USD. I think they are paying Tripadvisor the most to be the first choice, so the profit might even go to tripadvisor itself.

Pyramids - Wow! Must do!
What a wonderful day! Aref did an excellent job - so friendly, helpful & knowledgable. It would have been so much more difficult to navigate where to go and how on your own. The pyramids are totally amazing. Felt very emotional, especially inside The Great Pyramid! Beware tho, a bit of a hot, steep, narrow climb which we weren’t aware of - but well worth it!!
Thank you also to Lily who did an amazing job organising our trip (and more!). It has all made our Cairo trip just wonderful - great memories!

VIP TOUR OF SPHINX AND PYRAMIDS
What can I say? I honestly cannot praise this company enough! Shahd was my organiser and was with me from the very start of the booking—she is an absolute gem. She catered to every single need of mine and my family’s, and no request was ever too big. This company isn’t like others—it truly offers an all-inclusive experience. They have incredible contacts and can arrange things that are usually unheard of.
In our case, we were given a VIP tour to visit the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid after hours. This is no small feat—especially the Sphinx pass. Normally, you can only get about 50 metres away, but Shahd arranged for us to get right up close and even touch it. This is extremely rare and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You know it’s special when you’re accompanied by your own bodyguard, a representative from the tour company, your tour guide, and an Egyptologist from the Ministry of Antiquities. It was by far the most amazing experience of my life. And wait until you see the Sphinx—you will be completely blown away.
At first, we weren’t sure if we wanted to use a tour company, but I’m so, so glad we did. Do not go to Egypt without a guide! Firstly, unless you’re an Egyptologist, you won’t know what you’re looking at most of the time. But more importantly, for safety reasons, Egypt isn’t like the West. Outside the historical sites, it can feel a little dodgy. With this tour company, everything is arranged from A to Z. You’ll be picked up from your hotel, driven to all the sites, your tour guide will keep scammers away, and you’ll have a private car all day. There’s no need to worry about transportation, timing, or what to see. Everything flows naturally, and if any issues arise (which there weren’t), Shahd was just a message away.
Trust me, this company is the real deal. If you’re lucky enough to have Shahd look after you, your trip to Egypt will be perfectly organised. If I could give a million stars, I would.
Our tour guide, Nasser, is incredible. This guy can read hieroglyphics! He’s been guiding for over 30 years, is a professional photographer (he knows all the best spots), and has a cheeky, charming personality. I can’t recommend him enough. Our tour agent, Esmail, was fantastic too—a young guy who constantly rearranged things for us when we had last-minute changes. He was friendly, easy-going, and made everything seamless.
I love Egypt. I love Shahd. I love this company. Book with them—you won’t regret it!

Best Private Access & Local Expertise
We reached out to eight different tour operators to arrange private access to the Pyramids and Sphinx, and Explore Egypt Tours provided by far the best experience — at the best price — with excellent communication throughout. They are direct local operators (not middlemen in the US), with first-hand knowledge of the area.
Zahraa was extremely responsive over WhatsApp, offering great tips on how to perfectly time our visit to avoid crowds. Our guide, Nasser, was outstanding — not only did he make the private Sphinx access memorable, but he also used his local insight to optimize our day (even getting us on an earlier shuttle before the rush).
If you want seamless arrangements, genuine local expertise, and unbeatable access, I highly recommend Explore Egypt Tours.
