Itinerary
Pickup from your hotel in either Cairo or Giza by tour guide to start your tour . Giza Pyramids where you Visit the Great Pyramids - Cheops, Chephren & Mykerinos then Visit the Valley Temple where the Priests Mummified the dead body of King Chephren Also there you will have a close-up look at The Sphinx - The legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren. Inside any of the pyramids is not included as it requires additional tickets can be bought during the tour.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact
The second largest pyramid at Giza and in Egypt was built for Khafre, the third pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom Period of Ancient Egypt around 2540 BC. Khafre, also known in history by the Greek name Chephren, was the son of Khufu, who is the Great Pyramid and the grandson of Sneferu, another great builder of Ancient Egypt. External visit is included but inside the pyramid is not as it requires additional ticket can be bought during the visit
The Sphinx - The legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren.
One of the world’s most important collections of ancient artefacts, the Egyptian Museum takes pride of place in Downtown Cairo, on the north side of Midan Tahrir. Inside the great domed, oddly pinkish building, the glittering treasures of Tutankhamun and other great pharaohs lie alongside the grave goods, mummies, jewellery, eating bowls and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history. To walk around the museum is to embark on an adventure through time.
Midan Tahrir (Liberation Sq) gained world renown in early 2011, when millions of Egyptians converged here to oust then-president Hosni Mubarak. On a regular day, it’s just your average giant roundabout (traffic circle), albeit one where half-a-dozen major arteries converge. The main reason you'll pass through is to visit the powder-pink puffball bulk of the Egyptian Museum.
Established in the 14th century, Khan El-Khalili in Old Cairo has always been an important district for cultural and economic activities. Here is your guide to Khan El-Khalili market and the surrounding area . Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo or Giza

Traveler reviews
Amazing trip around the...
Amazing trip around the Giza Pyramids. My guide was excellent đź‘Ť, very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the trip.
Not Great
I gave it a lot of thoughts on deciding to give this review. I would definitely say the trip was very informative and the driver took care of us very well. However, the tour started off late with the tour guide rushing through each places which we felt like we couldn't get a moment to enjoy each places. She took us to 2 shops that was not in the itinerary which was only for us to buy things. By 2pm she didn't say anything about lunch which we know it's not included but still we have to eat but she did not want because she wanted to end the tour even though we paid for a tour of 8 to 10 hours. After asking about seeing Khan el Khalili bazaar which she haven't taken us, we felt her being bothered by it. Then she took us to a bazaar for 10 mins which is nothing what we expected. Later on we found out she took us to a wrong side of the bazaar. She then ended the tour in a bad way which ruined our experience entirely.
Good value for money, driver flexibly accommodated my requests for timing and places to see along the way

The tour began well, with a knowledgeable guide who shared historical insights, especially at Saqqara. Hwr, once we arrived at the first pyramid, we were told not to go close, & from then on, the experience felt rushed. We were quickly moved through the main sites but taken to three shops not listed in the itinerary, where we spent far more time than at the pyramids. The guide didn’t take us near all the Giza pyramids—only one—and it wasn’t until the end that we were told the attractions close at 4:00 PM. Had we known that earlier, we would’ve skipped the shop visits to enjoy more time at the pyramids. Overall, the guide was informative, but the tour felt unbalanced and rushed where it mattered most.
Day at pyramids and museum
Our guide was Sayed Amin and driver Abdul Asazem. We always felt very comfortable and safe throughout our experience.Sayed is passionate about Egyptian history and brought it all to life! We had a wonderful day and felt like they went above and beyond. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
