Itinerary
The Giza Plateau is only around 30 minutes from Cairo, where your qualified Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost) or take a camel ride (additional cost). After visiting the pyramids, you'll continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background. A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt.
Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Here you will see artifacts from many of the great rulers of Egypt, including the fallen statue of Ramses II. You will also have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how the famous artwork is made.
Sakkara, home of Egypt's oldest pyramid, was built in 2650 B.C. Your guide will provide a brief history of the famous Step Pyramid and you'll have free time to walk around.

Nermeen was amazing. She knew so much history, was amazing with the family, and organized the day perfectly. She was patient, went through things quickly when the kids were fading - all in all our best tour of our trip. She is the perfect guide, and made the day a spectacular history lesson.
Tour was ok, guide was friendly and it’s a good way to see the most important sights. but they forced us to go to two separate stores to buy things.
Ahmed Ali the Egyptologist was marvelous. The experience was amazing with all the explanations. This private tour included Giza, Saqqara and Memphis.
Our guide was great! He provided lots of great history and gave up plenty of time every spot! It was a full day adventure
Everything was great! Excellent guide Mohammad explained so much. Would definitely book with them again.
We had Henry as our guide and we are so pleased we did! He was a super informative and passionate Egyptologist...my husband and I were blown away by the history lessons and the stories shared with us on the tour. We had a driver, thank goodness, and they both did a wonderful job. He even helped take some amazing photos that will be hung on our walls at home. We still think about that day at the pyramids...what an unforgettable day! Thank you Henry! We will visit again one day and hopefully be able to hire you again in Luxor
Was good to visit all these egypt sites, as it is very interesting. We enjoyed all the site seeing, but our lunch wasn’t nice. I ate the food, but my partner didn’t. Our tour guide was nice and friendly but his accent made it a bit hard to understand him. Still recommend to do a tour to visit these places, but maybe organize your own food
Our tour from Cairo through Viator was amazing. We were met in the lobby of our hotel promptly. We traveled in comfort & safely. Our tour guide, Amgad Ali, was phenomenal. During our drive to the first destination, Amgad gave us an overview of Egyptian history. He was thoroughly knowledgeable, spoke English perfectly, and sensed the pace we needed to absorb the multitude of information. We, truly, feel we got to experience the magnificence of these sites! You won't be disappointed. Such kind people who count on the tourist industry to thrive. My suggestion is to be as generous as your wallet permits.
Ahmed was amazing! He jad such a wealth of knowledge and was very patient with all our questions. This was by far one the best. Our group was treated like family and we well taken care of. Our private van, and driver were clean, and cool. This service was exceptional! We will definitely book again. Great for family or friend groups. Egypt is safe, and ever so friendly! Thank you so much Ahmed for friendship and hospitality. Egypt has a wealth of knowledge. Its a beautiful place to visit. Food is amazing, and the history is intriguing.
The tour was excellent. Mr. Hassan was very knowledgeable and kind. He gave us the opportunity to learn almost everything about history of Egypt. He was really willing to explain and take us photos. The driver had the car ready at any time in order to move from site to site with ease. We had an anazing day with them! So professionals!!
