Overview

The Giza Pyramids are far off Cairo’s metro map, and getting there independently is tough. Skip the lines and enjoy a private full-day tour with direct transfers from your Cairo or Giza address. Visit the pyramids, Sphinx, and Valley Temple, then explore the majestic Grand Egyptian Museum. Opt to travel with a driver and guide, or upgrade to an all-inclusive experience to include entry tickets, a traditional Egyptian lunch, and a camel ride as well.

Fantastic guided tour around both the pyramids and the museum, Having seen the chaos around Cairo it was a pleasure to have Asma collect me from my hotel and take my firstly to the pyramids talk me through the history she kept it factual but not over beating with information, and then on to the grand Egyptian Museum Wow what an incredible building and packed with such history.

This is the best way to see the new museum, we got picked up on time by our hotel. There was a driver and a tour guide. Excellent driving thru the streets of Cairo which is a great hole new dimension. Our guide Mohamed was very good. He guided us thru the museum, with giving us all the insights. The pyramids were breathtaking. Pity about the garbage lying around. The lunch was good. A buffet and beverages are not included so have some money ready. For euro or dollar you receive back Egyptian money. It was a perfect day. Only to be recommended

Great tour with pacing that suited our mood and was responsive to our feedback. Excellent information and insight into the area and history with a fantastic local guide. Made the experience effortless and we could focus on enjoying the day. Lots of options to do things as we felt on the day and no pressure to upsell on additional experiences. Recommend this tour with Almaden as the guide!
