This private tour offers an intimate glimpse into Egypt's wonders, ensuring an enriching and memorable experience!
Experience the awe-inspiring Grand Egyptian Museum, the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilization. Begin your visit in the open-air courtyard where the hanging obelisk of Ramses II and the towering Statue of Ramses II welcome you into Egypt’s grand past. Stroll among colossal statues and enjoy time at the museum’s shops and cafés before ascending the spectacular Grand Staircase. As you rise, you’ll be surrounded by monumental sculptures of legendary pharaohs like Seti I and Queen Hatshepsut, with breathtaking views of the Giza Pyramids unfolding ahead.

Discover royal statues, everyday tools, ancient writings, and personal belongings that reveal how the Egyptians lived, ruled, and worshipped. Finally, marvel at the Treasures of King Tutankhamun, including his iconic golden artifacts, displayed together in one collection for the first time.
After exploring the wonders of ancient Egypt, your adventure continues at the famed Khan El Khalili Bazaar, where the vibrant atmosphere of the East comes alive. Stroll through this bustling market, rich with history and culture, as you soak in the sights and sounds of vendors calling out their wares.

Had an amazing day in Giza, spending the morning at the Pyramids, a brief time at the Sphinx, and the afternoon at the GEM. (The tour was supposed to included the Khan Bazaar, but it didn't, although we weren't disappointed.) Our guide was extraordinary. We had 5 guides during our two weeks in Egypt and Turkey, and Michael, an Egyptologist, was easily the best. His knowledge was extensive, his English was excellent, and by noon we had learned more about the history of Egypt than we had during our entire four day guided Nile cruise. He was energetic, enthusiastic, and engaging. He was also punctual, which seems to be unusual among guides in Egypt. We felt no pressure to go anywhere we didn't want to go. Michael is also a very talented photographer, so he took us to the best spots for pictures, and we ended up with excellent photos. We also had a tutorial on using the iPhone camera which was most helpful!
Mona was an amazing tour guide. She kept in touch prior to our tour and picked us up as scheduled. Because of her long experience she knew how to expedite our time navigating the entrance to the pyramid. Mona had a fantastic camel ride and took pictures and videos. The lunch buffet was delicious. Additionally, the grand Egyptian museum was spectacular. She gave an overview and left us to explore the areas we found most interesting. The driver was so skilled and performed magnificently getting us to the airport in a dire emergency.
Dear Alice, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a great experience with Mona and that everything went smoothly from pick-up to drop-off. It’s especially lovely to know that her experience helped make your visit efficient and enjoyable, and that you enjoyed the camel ride, lunch, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We will also pass on your kind words to the driver for his excellent service. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Egypt again in the future. Kind regards, Misk Tours
We had a full day Giza experience which included the new museum and pyramid complex. Rania was a wonderful guide and made sure our experience was educational and fun. She efficiently guided us through a full day and made sure we experienced all aspects of the complex (museum, shopping, camel ride, pyramids & sphinx). I highly recommend Rania as a guide!
Excellent day out in Cairo taking in the Museum, Bazaar, Citadel and Mosque. Mona was an excellent guide who has a wealth of information & was able to provide lots of interesting insights. Would highly recommend.
Good guide. Very educational and interesting. Wear decent shoes, there's a lot of walking. Too tired to do the bazaar at end.
Dear Cheryl, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and found your guide educational and informative. Your note about comfortable shoes is an excellent tip for future travelers! We completely understand that the day can be quite full, and it’s great that you made the most of the main sites. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again soon — perhaps with a bit more time to explore the bazaar next time. Warm regards, The Misk Tours Team
Our experience in Cairo was absolutely wonderful, thanks to our amazing guide Amira Samy and driver Ahmed. Amira was exceptional — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Egypt’s history and culture. She explained everything in such an interesting way and made every site come alive. She also took great care to make sure we were comfortable and had the best experience possible. Our driver was equally outstanding, kind, patient, and always attentive, making us feel safe and well taken care of even in Cairo’s busy traffic. Together, they made our visit unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Cairo!
Haitham was an amazing guide! He was very welcoming and friendly and informative. It is obvious that Haitham takes pride in his craft and his preparation and delivery was superb. We enjoyed our tour of the pyramids, sphinx, and museum and highly recommend his services. You won’t be disappointed!
If you’re ever in Egypt, this is a great tour. Our tour guide, Max was the best. He was very informative and knowledgeable of the Pyramids and Egyptian culture. He made sure we felt comfortable throughout the tour and got a chance to have lunch and purchase some great souvenirs. Our driver Mr. Samy was also great. He arrived on time for pick up from each stop of the tour and provided water and snacks (which was a nice gesture). Highly recommend this tour.
Just like to say what a fantastic experience this tour was, made special by my guide Ahmed Elsayed, who was extremely knowledgeable and communicated in very good English. Fascinating history
Our tour guide Max was a highlight of our incredible day tour in Giza. He looked after everything, treated us all like family, and shared a wealth of knowledge with us. It was an absolute pleasure. Inshallah we will meet again soon!
