Your private Egyptologist guide will help ease you through airport procedures before whisking you to the Giza Plateau to see the world-famous pyramids.

Afterward, refuel with an included Egyptian lunch before returning to the airport for your outbound flight.

I sent my parents on this tour while they were on a layover in Cairo. The person operating the tour contacted me in Whatsapp day before the tour started to decide on a place and time to meet and pick up my parents from the airport. The Good part The tour went well and they were provided with good vegetarian lunch as requested and then dropped back at the airport. They were taken to and from the pyramids in a separate car. The guide also took pictures of them at the pyramids to send it to me Whatsapp. He was always available in Whatsapp to contact and also let me know when my parents were dropp

Arrived on time, but found no one waiting for us with my name sign as told.. I searched for them everywhere but couldn't find anyone... At the end of the day when I had data connection I got WhatsApp message telling that they were calling and sending messages, but of course, I don't have data or cellular connection on my layover time. It was supposed to be a meet and greet with name sign.. I asked them and Viator to refund the fully paid amount by my credit card, but nothing happened yet.. very disappointing!

This trip was good but not great. The good things: got to leave the airport; driver was great at getting us to the sites alive (traffic is nuts); and the guide was friendly. The not-so-good things: it was Ramadan and the guide told us we wouldn't be able to go to the pyramids; we got an extended camel ride to compensate but didn't ride the camels even close to the pyramids; and guide took us to a lot of small businesses that were trying to see us stuff--unexpected from the details of the trip.
