Private Guided Tour to Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx - Three pyramids, three different views

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,755 reviews · from $35Our pick

Review of a $35 private Giza tour with hotel pickup, an Egyptologist guide, camel ride, lunch, photos, and the Great Sphinx.

“This was an ideal tour for us as we had a 7hour layover in Cairo. Our flight was delayed by an hour but our driver Hijazi waited for us and picked us up from the airport with a cold drink ready for us! Our tour guide Haitham was very friendly, knowledgable and passionate about Egypt and the pyramids and we learned a lot from the tour. Both Hijazi and Haitham allowed us to completely relax and not have to worry about timings, tickets, queues or missing anything which was perfect! Would highly recommend this tour!”
