Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Dahshur submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
The tour was great, we wanted to go inside the big pyramid but couldn't get tickets, they get sold out very quickly. Instead, we bought tickets for the smaller pyramid, the tour guide told us it was exactly the same. The tour guide was very nice, she helped us get some really nice pictures. She asked us if we wanted to go to any shops, something we weren't asked before in other tours, I think that was good because we got to spend more time in other places. We really enjoyed the tour, these are places you could go by yourself but if you don't have enough time and don't feel like bargaining this tour is a must.

A nice and friendly tour guide and driver. Very informative. Chose good places to visit and fulfilled my dream of riding a camel. The only downside was visiting essence shop.

Excellent tour. The tour coordinator and the guide met us at the hotel on time. The van was clean air cond could be improved a bit. Tour guide Ans was great. I just wish you have one tour that combines Memphis, Dahshur and Sakkara, since it's all nearby.

The sites were amazing, but we felt that the guide could have walked around all of the sites with us and not left us to go round some on our own, after a brief explanation. As we were the only two in the party, it would have been a bonus to have had a personal guide who would answer questions. The lunch, however, was really excellent and one of our best meals in Egypt.

This was a very nice tour. My only complaint was that the tour description said "No hidden costs," and there were some costs we weren't prepared for. For example, at the Giza pyramids we were taken to a place where approved camel drivers took us on a ride to a vista point and back. We were just told to get on the camels, as though it were a regular part of the tour. We were not told ahead of time that there would be an extra charge for this. On return, the driver asked for 150! yes, 150 US dollars per person. When we complained that we weren't told of this ahead of time, it was reduced to 200 Egyptian pounds about 40. But still, if this were an optional extra part of the tour, this should have been made clear at the beginning. Other than this the tour guide and driver were very helpful, knowledgeable and accomodating. We sincerely appreciate the excellent work they did.
