★★★★★Viator review
Amazing day!
Burcu_S, October 2026
It was a great day absolutely. Our driver Mustafa and especially our tour guide Ahmad were amazing. He has a great knowledge about everything. Even with our 6 year old kid, he made everything so smooth and fun. It definitely worths flying from Hurghada to Cairo. This was an unforgettable experience for all of us. Thank you so much! Rhanks for Book Tour Egypt and Ahmad&Mustafa!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great day, great tour guide
Coastal90171, October 2026
This was a fantastic trip, very well organised from start to finish. The Pyramids are an absolute must-see if you visit Egypt. It was a very early start, with a 3:30am pick-up and a midnight drop-off, so be prepared to need a recovery day afterwards! That said, it was still a much shorter and easier day than travelling by bus from Hurghada, and well worth the early start. Mr Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about Egyptian history, and clearly very proud of his country's heritage. He's also a genuinely nice bloke who makes the experience even better. He knew all the best spots for photos and was more than happy to take them for us, so we could capture some fantastic memories. He also helped shield us from the constant noise and salespeople who seem to swarm around you at popular tourist attractions. Finally, a special mention for our driver, who was an absolute hero! Navigating Cairo's rush-hour traffic was an experience in itself. I've never seen anything quite so chaotic, but he handled it brilliantly, keeping us safe and getting us where we needed to be on time. Overall, a brilliant trip that I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting Egypt. An unforgettable experience!

A great experience all around
872deaganm, October 2026
Tour was great, all the logistics were taken care of. Camels, horses, tomb tunnels wwre included. Mr. Falcon was a fantastic guide and was great with working with other locals on site at Giza. Would recommend this tour 100%
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Intensive day trip
I1243ZFlisah, October 2026
The highlight of the tour was definitely the pyramids. Very touristy, but still worth seeing. We would advise against a camel or carriage ride on site. In our view, that is torture for the animals and very expensive by local standards. Anyone who wants to take this tour should bring a lot of energy. The day trip is very intensive. However, it offers a good opportunity to discover a lot of Cairo. The food was sufficient and very delicious.
