Highlights
  • Pyramids of Giza - Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a tour guide. Visit the Giza Pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos. Explore the Valley Temple, where King Chephren’s body was mummified, and get an up-close look at The Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and King Chephren’s head.

Entering the pyramids requires additional tickets, which can be purchased during the tour.

  • Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - The Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza complex, is located near present-day El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remains largely intact.

  • Khafre’s Pyramid - The second largest pyramid in Giza and Egypt, built for Khafre, the third pharaoh of the 4th Dynasty during the Old Kingdom around 2540 BC. Khafre, also known as Chephren, was the son of Khufu and the grandson of Sneferu, another notable builder of Ancient Egypt.

External visits are included, but entering the pyramid requires an additional ticket, which can be purchased during the visit.

  • Great Sphinx - The Sphinx, the legendary guardian with a lion’s body and King Chephren’s head, stands by the vast funeral complex.
  • The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Located in Downtown Cairo on the north side of Midan Tahrir, this museum houses one of the world’s most significant collections of ancient artifacts. Inside the grand domed, pinkish building, you’ll find the glittering treasures of Tutankhamun and other great pharaohs, along with grave goods, mummies, jewelry, eating bowls, and toys of Egyptians whose names are lost to history.

Exploring the museum is like embarking on a journey through time.

  • Liberation Square (Midan El-Tahreer) - Gaining global fame in early 2011 when millions of Egyptians gathered to oust then-president Hosni Mubarak, Midan Tahrir is typically a large roundabout where several major roads converge. The main reason to visit is to see the Egyptian Museum’s distinctive pinkish building.

  • Khan Al-Khalili - Established in the 14th century, Khan El-Khalili in Old Cairo has long been a hub for cultural and economic activities. This guide will help you explore the Khan El-Khalili market and its surroundings. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel in Cairo or Giza.

  • Gizeh Plateau - The Giza Plateau, a limestone plateau in Giza, Egypt, is home to the Fourth Dynasty Giza pyramid complex, including the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers’ village, and an industrial complex. It is the northernmost part of the 16,000-hectare Pyramid Fields in the Western Desert, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Memphis, and its Necropolis.

The plateau is about 60 meters above sea level.

  • Panoramic view of the Pyramids - Experience the stunning beauty of the iconic pyramids with a breathtaking panoramic view. Capture the grandeur and majesty of these ancient wonders as you delve into Egypt’s rich history and culture. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, the panoramic view of the pyramids will leave you in awe.

Great experience - Our tour with Mohammad as our guide was incredible. He was very thorough in explaining everything, making sure we asked any questions we had, and overall making sure the tour was a great success. I would definitely recommend a tour with Mohammad as your guide!

Highlights of Cairo in your own time. - Booking through Viator made it very easy to organise my day trip to Cairo from Hurghada. I found a trip that allowed me to see the main highlights and the Tour Company EMO Tours who were excellent. I booked a private tour and thoroughly recommend as the Guide and Driver can flex the day to fit your agenda. Our guide Mohammad met us outside the airport on time. He was really educated in the history of Giza and Pyramids and especially was excellent taking us around the museum and gave us detailed info on each of the exhibits. We were two females travelling on our own but we felt very safe and was a great experience. The guide spoke excellent English .

Great memories in Egypt - Ahmed our tour guide made our trip very memorable. He treated us like family and he went out of his way to ensure that we were safe during the tour. Ahmed is not only a great tour guide but also a professional photographer, he took excellent photos and videos and left us with unforgettable memories. Ahmed is also highly knowledgeable about Egyptian History and was very forthcoming about tourist traps and scams. We highly recommend Ahmed of Viator to all travelers to Egypt. Ahmed and our Driver Mohammed were excellent and were very pleasant and fun to be with.

Highly recommended - Easy arrangements with the Egyptologist for pickup and the tour. Knowledgeable person that ticked all the boxes, highly recommend this tour. Well worth it. The lunch was ok and it was a nice experience. My only recommendation would be to have a lighter version of the historical information that you have to absorb. It’s also a holiday and your mind needs to relax a bit. Info overload.

Cairo Excursion - Great excursion. Loads to see. We were whizzed through some parts of the day. But only later did we realise there was simply so much to fit in! Our guide didn't speak the best of English, but tried his best to help with everything. We enjoyed our day very much.

Decent no-frills tour - The tour was overall fine. Our guide was friendly and professional but not that good at tailoring information to our needs or interests, perhaps because she is relatively new. The company was easy to communicate with in advance through WhatsApp.

Unforgettable and unforgiving - The tour team is comprise of two persons, the driver (Karim) and the guide(Ahmed). The driver is 5* very polite and very professional, but the guide ruin it. I had the tour with my wife and in the middle of the tour, he made a video call with someone that he was trying to hook me up with!!! It was very unpleasant and ruined one experience that had everything to be unforgettable.

The guide destroyed the experience - I was sent a guide who just could not speak English!!! Being a linguist myself, in the beginning I thought it would be fun to struggle a bit, but after 30 minutes I was exhausted and very sad, because this is a once in a lifetime experience... Olivia may be indeed an "arkoolozist" but it took me another hour to understand that "surfax" is actually a sarcophagus and that "kusametik aeparoos" means painted eyebrows. Between visits I was in a car where she was only speaking with the driver under music, or they both spoke on their phones instead of giving a couple of information, like other viator guides do. But the worst part is that every single of my questions had two answers: "Hmmm" and "Yaaa...". I am terribly disappointed because this is so bad for business, for such a lovely country l, and such a waste of valuable time for me, who might never be able to make it back to Egypt...
