Cairo Private layover tour Giza pyramids sphinx Nile Felucca Boat

This was an absolutely incredible experience, made amazing by our extremely knowledgeable and connected tour guide Bisho. A private driver picked us up from our hotel and drove us into Giza, where we went to the Great Pyramids, which was breathtaking. He then brought us to a spot with a beautiful scene to take photos, then onto riding camels, with the night topped off with a Nile River cruise. Egyptian society is very warm and our guide exemplified that, all around an incredible experience! Thank you Bisho!

We enjoyed our time with yasser he was a very good Guid help us a lot to see Egypt and enjoy our tour Thank you yasser and 3assem

I paid $155 USD for a 6 hour private tour of the pyramids on a layover from Cairo airport for myself and my 9 year old son. Whilst Ahmad greeted us and took us to the car, he drove with the windows down the entire trip and we were freezing. He even locked the rear window down at one point so we were frozen, Ahmad himself had 3 hooded jackets on! We picked up our guide on the way to Giza by the side of the road. Straight away I sensed a bit of an attitude when and I found him a little passive aggressive when I said we had only learned a little Arabic and when asking us if we knew the names of the pyramids. In fact as the tour promised a qualified Egyptologist, the only thing we were told was the names of the pyramids. In all we spent 1 hour and 4 minutes at the pyramids, whilst being rushed round to snap some pictures. The guide was more intent on getting us to go to the papyrus factory, the cotton factory and the perfume factory… all obviously commission based for him. We had booked a 6 hour trip and effectively got a 1 hour tour and a 1 hour drive. After the papyrus factory my son was utterly bored and hungry and the suggestion of another shop rather than the ancient Egyptian things he wanted to see were too much. I asked the guide to take us back to the airport early rather than being taken to all the factory shops we were not interested in. We arrived back at Cairo airport 6 hours before our domestic flight. I raised my concerns with both the tour operator and viator but was met with attitude from the tour company and no help from ViaTour. In comparison I did a private day trip yesterday in Luxor for the same cost and we had the most wonderful full 9 hour day with a very knowledgeable tour guide, a courteous driver and a wealth of amazing stops. I feel totally totally ripped off by this sham of a tour.
