Well guided tour, willing to spend sufficient time and explain at each attraction. Pick and drop off to airport was on time. Excellent tips to get good photos.

I loved that I was the only person on this tour! My pickup and dropoff location changed last minute and the tour company was so flexible. My driver, Mahmoud, was great! He made the tour more fun!! My tour guide, Mohammed, was so knowledgeable and patient. This tour worked well for my long layover in Cairo! My highlights were the Pyramids, Sphinx, stopping to see the Nile River, and driving around Cairo. Lunch was just okay. The only thing I absolutely didn't like was the tour addition to the perfume house! I found the man showing me the oils quite inappropriate with his scenarios of when to us

Super convenient Cairo airport layover tour to Giza. Pick-up from terminal 3 and drop-off to terminal 1. Baggages also stored in the vehicle during the tour. Tour duration was 5 hours to us. We bought tickets also inside two of the pyramids. Our guide and driver were really nice and did not try to push anything unwanted.

I had an amazing one day layover in Cairo which I spend with my guide and driver Ola and Ebrahem. They picked me up from my hotel lobby and we drove to the pyramids. Ola has a wealth of knowledge of ancient and contemporary Egypt and shared a lot of it with me on the drive to the pyramids (1 hour?). Visiting the site is an amazing experience. You get to see the pyramids from up close, walk around them and take them in from a further distance after a short ride on camelback (600LE extra). Same with the sphynx and then a great local lunch buffet with a view of one of the pyramids. They can also

We booked through EMO tours and our tour guides Amira and Hamada were so helpful and made the drive to and from the pyramids very smooth. Thank you so much! It was a great experience.
