I rated the show a 3 but in all fairness the company representing Viator gets 4 stars. Like others have said the show is a bit dated and could be brighter but worth seeing if you have a spare night in Cairo. Do dress warm!

If you want the history, this is good. It is a little overdone, but it was still fun. Glad I did it. The transport to and from made it worth the money. The tour guide really takes care of you.

Even though some effects are out dated, we enjoyed this once in a lifetime experience.

The guide did nothing except ask for tips. I do not recommend this tour.

The marvel of the Pyramids, the enigmatic Sphinx and a fascinating history were swallowed by over-theatrical presentation, fragmented commentary and poor lighting. OK, I may be a bit picky but it could have been so much better. It was also very chilly sitting there - don't be fooled by hot days! The wind blows cold across the plateau as night falls. You can hire a blanket on-site but come wrapped up. All in all, disappointing although we did enjoy the company of the guide and watching him play the driver at a form of backgammon while waiting.

The driver was about twenty minutes late getting me to the show. I missed a lot of it. It was ok, a bit touristy.

The show was just ok....they could still improve the lights and sound effect they used in the show. It's a bit boring also because they uses only dots and lines for the pictures of the people..

The show was confusion as we were ushered to the site LATE. Missed the first part of the show! On top of this, we expected a guide to be with us during the show; however, our guide sent us in with the tickets and left. Surely they would know when the show starts. Disappointing.

The show lasts around 50 minutes, at busy times be prepared to wait a while for bags to be scanned at the gate. The show is probably worth doing however we thought the lighting effects were a bit dated by around 10 years. The flood lights on the pyramids provide a dramatic backdrop, however laser shapes and projections are very basic. They should bring the technology up-to-date. With regard to the pick up time, we were told there was only one English language show at 6:30pm by the travel company office on the telephone, however on the day the tour company changed it to 10:30pm at the last minute. We were told that this was the correct time for the English show on that night. This was inconvenient, especially as we had an early start the following day. here was no apology. Overall we would give this trip 6 out of 10, the technology let's it down, and let's face it the pyramids at night need a bit of help!

The operator was prompt and efficient. The show itself was a little disappointing, rather old fashioned narrative but informative especially if you had not previously toured the pyramids.

Interesting to do it if you have time. I wouldn't rearrange your trip for it. Could be interesting and fun for kids.
