This was an excellent tour! Our guide met us at our hotel and was a wealth of knowledge. He involved us in deciding how long to spend at each activity, as well as whether we wanted to take additional trips to a papyrus institute do it or jewelry shop. He moved us through lines swiftly and provided detailed commentary at the museum.

The tour was great. We got to see so much in one day.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Spoke very good English and made the tour enjoyable. Be weary of several stop offs to perfume and papyrus factories throughout the tour.

It was a wonderful experience! That was made possible by my tour guide and driver. They were wonderful and I will love to have them again!

Great tour guide and transport. A must when you have limited time in Cairo.

I did 2 trips with Viator and absolutely loved it. The tour guide was knowledgeable and he answered all my questions. I recommend this to anyone who loves history!

There is so much to see you have to have a guide, and the guide we had was great! You may need more time at the Khan & the museum, but it's a good intro to Giza and the pyramids, and then you can go back on your own.

Superb trip, well organised and well worth booking. We booked a private tour and expected just the tour guide, we were most surprised that we had a driver as well, this ensured that the tour guide gave us his undivided attention. His knowledge was admirable, and nothing was too much trouble for him. The driver was very competent Cairo is extremely busy!!! We felt very safe and would recommend Viator to our family and friends.

I really enjoyed the site. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and spoke very good English.

The hassle around the pyramids gets worse every year, and free time there was largely taken up with being pestered by the local touts. Either the guide should stay with you to ensure you are left alone, like the coach trips do, or only stop for photos and move on. Our guide was excellent and this is no reflection on her.

Nice tour. The guide was very flexible, and since we were a small group, he was able to modify the itinerary per our request. He appeared to be knowledgeable, but could have presented more in depth information. As it was, most everything he said could have come from a guide book.

The pyramids were great and the museum was very interesting. It's worth paying the extra 100EGP to see the mummies room. I heard horror stories from the Khan so I told my tour guide to take me to Old Cairo Coptic instead. The tour guide was what turned me off. He was rushing everything and didn't really explain in depth as I saw other tours where the guides were explaining in detail. But, it's still worth doing this tour. I just wish my tour guide wasn't pushy and/or bored to show me the history of the city.

On our trip, Solar Boat Museum and Bazaar where left out and visit to a Papayrus factory mysteriously added without consent. Would not recommend.
