Stop At: Great Sphinx, Al-Haram, Giza Egypt

On the Giza plateau, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx date back over 3,000 years. While there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza are by far the most famous and are the last of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure. You will have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), although your guide is not permitted to enter with you.

After visiting the pyramids, you'll then continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.

A short drive to the city side of the plateau finds you standing at the feet of the Sphinx, for thousands of years the enigmatic symbol of Egypt. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a king and is surrounded by mystery, including the unanswered questions: who built it and why.

We actually flew from Cyprus where we were holidaying and stayed a night at a hotel. We were late on arrival and Ahmed was waiting for us. He led us swiftly to the Visa kiosk ($25 dollars per person cash only) and through customs to the waiting van. We met our Egyptologist (I was a little sceptical about that but as it turned out Tito knew his subject inside out) and straight to Cairo Museum. The aeroplane was late and Tito took us on a whistle stop tour of the most important exhibits. That was brilliant as he put them in context and explained the significance of each. The next day we went to see the Pyramids and Sphinx. Tito arrived promptly as organised and again an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He ensured we got to the airport on time. We picked up Ahmed on the way and he ensured emigration went smoothly. Would definitely recommend again, excellent service and staff at very reasonable cost. The Egyptian people would seem to definitely want us to start visiting again and in my opinion now is the time to go. Both attractions not busy and no problem with hawkers or scammers.

Tour taken 21 April. Tour was booked to start at 9.00am but the first thing the guide said to me was that I was late and this was at 8.45am Throughout the whole trip which only lasted about 1 and 1/4. hours I had the impression that the guide needed to be elsewhere We did not want to enter The Great Pyramid so we were rushed onto the next one, not even given time to walk up to it. A brief stop to look from a distance at the other pyramids, rushed passed the solar boat museum. We stopped at the Sphinx, the guide did not even bother to get out of the car but left it to to the driver to take photos of us in front of it. After leaving the area the guide left the car saying that we could use it for 30 minutes and then disappeared. I should have booked this tour with the company who provided our Cairo city tour which was exceptional.

To see the Pyramids and Sphinx in person is impressive. Not so much the Sphinx, but the Pyramids are unique and one of a kind. I had the tour guide and a driver. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Pyramids. I really enjoyed the tour.

The tour guide was very rushed and didn't explain anything.
Was always on her mobile phone and left us to our own devices even though this was a private, guided tour.

I loved this tour! Andrew, the Egyptologist guide, was really great - full of interesting facts about everything we saw from the Pyramids and Sphinx to Cairo in general as we drove from my hotel to Giza . Also he gave a great briefing about how to deal with the souvenir sellers which meant I wasn't troubled at all.
The Pyramids and Sphinx were awe-inspiring and I chose to go inside the Great Pyramid which was incredible, if a little cramped :-
As a female travelling alone I would definitely recommend this tour, felt very safe and was a once in a lifetime experience! Thank you!
