Enjoyable tour of the pyramids

My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and our guide. He was very accommodating to our wishes. The reason I gave this tour only three stars is because it was not the tour I booked. When I contacted Viator I was told that the tour had been updated and I experienced the updated tour. That is not acceptable to me to be given a different tour without prior notice from Viator or the tour company themselves. I know what my mother and Iike and do a lot of research to set up what we enjoy. Because we did not have prior notice, there were a few things that I wanted to do that I missed out on.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to know that you and your mother enjoyed your guide and the overall experience. We would like to clarify that you received the tour you booked. The only change was that we added a visit to the Great Pyramid as an extra option to enhance the experience, at no additional cost. This was an additional inclusion, not a replacement for the services you had booked. Although we believe the tour was delivered as booked, we still wanted to ensure your satisfaction. Therefore, as a gesture of goodwill, we provided you with a 50% refund, even though we were under no obligation to do so. We always strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. We wish you all the best and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Great time during the guide tour

We had an incredible experience visiting the Pyramids, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without Haidy. From the moment we arrived, she guided my wife and me through every step with patience, knowledge, and genuine care. The lunch she arranged was also fantastic; a perfect break in the day and a great way to experience local food. She made our visit smooth, memorable, and truly special.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your visit to the Pyramids was such an incredible experience, and that Haidy made it even more special. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine care are exactly what we strive to offer every guest. It’s also great to know you enjoyed the lunch experience — a perfect way to relax and enjoy authentic local flavors during the day. We’re so happy everything went smoothly and left you with such memorable moments. We look forward to welcoming you again soon

Pyramid miracle

We had a wonderful day with our guide Abla Saif, who accompanied us to the pyramids in English and explained a lot to us. We had a lot of fun, I could climb a camel with a cloth tied in Arabic style and enjoy the desert feeling. Experience the witnesses of an ancient culture together with an experienced guide is great. Our tour concluded with a very delicious lunch, and our driver Ayman reliably took us back to our hotel. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly happy to hear that you had a wonderful day exploring the Giza Pyramids with Abla. She will be very glad to know that you enjoyed her explanations and felt comfortable throughout the tour. It’s great to hear that the camel ride and the desert atmosphere made your experience even more special. We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the lunch and that Ayman ensured a smooth and safe journey back to your hotel. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience in Egypt. Warm regards,

The tour guide was...

The tour guide was supposed to pick us up from our hotel and never showed up. My husband and I were stranded at our hotel with our three young kids and missed the one activity we had booked and paid for in Egypt. Horrible experience and no one will respond to my emails asking for a refund.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. However, after carefully reviewing our booking records, we could not find any reservation matching this experience with our company. The experience you described does not align with our service standards, as our guides are expected to focus on the booked itinerary and provide accurate historical guidance throughout the tour. It’s possible this review was intended for another tour provider. If you believe this was posted in error, we kindly ask you to double-check the booking details. Best regards,

Not great, go with a certified tour bus group

Our tour guide was okay at first, but she took us to two places off the tour, that we were not comfortable with and Tried to sell us on oils and papyrus after the tour. Also, did not have too much knowledge on the pyramids themselves— we felt like we could have downloaded an audio guide and just done it ourselves.

Operator response

Hello, We take guest feedback seriously, but after thoroughly reviewing our records, we can confirm that we have no booking matching the experience described. The claims mentioned do not reflect our operations or service standards. Our tours follow the confirmed itinerary, and we do not recognize this incident as one connected to our company.
