Conned by a scammer
This tour is not a private tour of the pyramids and the grand Egyptian Museum. While these stops are included, they are merely a segway from the actual purpose of the tour which is to whisk you away from the pyramids into the gritty underworld of egyptian scammers disguised s a tour guide and her merry band of government employed shopkeeper scammers. We tried to shift the details of our tour to include Coptic Cairo drive by, but we were told we "Had No time". Yet we were delivered to a perfume and fragrance shop, which conveniently "mixed up" or orders so as not to include certain, more costly oils, and replace, while out of eyesight, with cheap baby oil. Then, on to the papyrus factory, run by more government employees, selling painting, then of course, you can't leave out the jewelry and trinkets shop selling only Egyptian made and authentic souvenirs. What a scam! Viator should drop this immediately.

Ask for Fatima- Amazing Tour!!
Our tour with Fatima was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to Egypt and an experience my wife and I will never forget!
From the very beginning, everything was seamless. We were picked up right on time and spent an incredible day exploring the Pyramids, enjoying a camel ride, and visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum. Since the tour was private and just the two of us, Fatima made the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and incredibly special.
Fatima also took us to some unique local shops where we learned how traditional papyrus paintings are made and had a fascinating presentation about Egyptian oils. We enjoyed the experience so much that we ended up purchasing some oils to take home with us.
Lunch was at a buffet restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious with plenty of great options.
One thing that really sets Fatima apart is her incredible talent for taking photos and videos. She knows exactly how to use an iPhone to capture amazing angles and moments. Some of the photos she took of us at the Pyramids are so incredible that we plan on having them printed and framed!
Beyond being extremely knowledgeable and experienced, Fatima was warm, personable, attentive, and has a fantastic sense of humour. We shared plenty of laughs throughout the day, which made the experience even more enjoyable. She genuinely cared about making our day memorable, never made us feel rushed, and made sure we enjoyed every part of the experience.
We honestly could not have asked for a better tour. Everything exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. If you are visiting Cairo and want an unforgettable experience, Fatima is the gold standard for Egyptian tour guides. We would recommend her without hesitation. 10/10!
One important tip completely unrelated to Fatima: Do not bring Meta smart glasses/sunglasses on these tours. They are strictly forbidden at the attractions, so it is best to leave them at your hotel rather than risk having an issue when entering.

サービス違反：ツアー言語の間違い、許可されていない買い物立ち寄り、追加料金
ポルトガル語でサービスを予約し、チャットでこの情報を確認しましたが、彼らは私たちに良いガイドを割り当ててくれましたが、そのガイドはスペイン語を話す人でした（つまり、会社に騙されたということです）。さらに、彼らは予定にはなかった彼らが選んだ店に私たちを連れて行き、市場価格よりもはるかに高い価格で製品を買うように強要し、さらに悪いことに、博物館をもっと探検するために費やすべき時間を無駄にしました。私はアトラクションを体験するために料金を払ったのであって、買い物に連れて行かれるためではありません。そして最後に、契約に含まれていなかったドライバーの入場券代を請求されました。履歴書スタッフは良いが、会社は信用できない。

Unforgettable and deeply educational tour
Highly recommend Manar Atwa! She provided an exceptionally educational tour of the Giza Pyramids and the new museum. Her knowledge of Egyptian history is fantastic, and she made navigating both sites smooth and informative. A wonderful guide who really enhanced my entire experience!

Exceptional guide
What a great tour and fantastic guide! I was picked up at my hotel on time in a clean car, and had a great and very safe driver. My tour guide, Mahmoud Hoka, was exceptional - he was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour an absolute delight. He was very engaging and I came away having learnt so much, plus he was very patient with all my questions! I was totally at ease, which is important for a solo female traveller. I would absolutely recommend this tour and would urge you to request Mahmoud Hoka - you won’t be disappointed!

Honest, genuine tour of the pyramids and GEM
Sosa was my guide. She was so interesting, informative, professional yet genuine. She ignites and quenches my thirst for knowledge for the pyramids of giza and the Egyptian Museum. She was extremely patient and hardworking as well. She looked after me so well.
After being scammed the day before by someone else, Sosa's delivery of her knowledge, photo taking skills and the passion for her country history was downright like a breathe of fresh air.
The driver attached to her was also so nice. Adel. He was an awesome driver. The car was clean and tidy and he ensured that I was comfortable and cool in the scorching heat at all times. It was downright fun and such a joyful experience. If you ever get Adel and Sosa. You will be in for a treat. I HIGHLY recommend them. They are honest and genuine.
Oh and the lunch buffet was great!

ひどいガイド、エジプトの思い出を台無しにした
私たちはエジプトでの体験を思い出深いものにするために、他のツアーよりも高価でしたが、素晴らしいレビューのあったプライベートツアーにお金を払いました。私たちは60カ国以上を旅してきましたが、ここは私たち二人が子供の頃から訪れたいと夢見ていた国です。ガイドはひどかった、彼の名前はヌール・ザキだ。彼に割り当てられた場合は、ツアーの前に変更を依頼するようにしてください！！とても失礼で、記念碑の間を急かされ、写真を撮ろうとしている私たちの前に立ちはだかりました。彼は、彼が外で待たされないように、私たちがピラミッドの中に入らないように説得しようと強く主張した。とても速く、聞き取りにくい英語で話した。ピラミッドについて質問したところ、彼はこう言いました。私はすでにあなたにそれを言いました。不快で失礼な彼は、そこにいたくないように見えた。運転中、街についても一切説明せず、完全に私たちを無視し、何時間もずっと電話をしていた。エージェンシーは良いかもしれませんが、当日のガイドが誰なのか事前に確認するようにしてください。彼なら、すぐに変更を求めてください。彼はあなたのエジプトでの体験と記念品を台無しにするでしょう。
