A lot of money for very little experience
Gutted that I'm having to leave a 3 star review! It was a 4am till 2am the following day long trip and 8 hours if this was spent at the airport. We did go to cairo and saw the pyramids but it was quite rushed and we didn't get any free time to look round. We saw the sphinx which was amazing. The guide then took us to some famous churches and temples which were not part of the itinerary. We never went to khan el khalidi. Lunch was nice - buffet style. The guide and driver did make us feel safe all day which was nice. There was way too much pressure to buy camel rides, papyrus (from a factory) and oils/perfumes (also from a factory) again not part of the itinerary. Viator advised us to book an evening river cruise with dinner and entertainment due to us having a late flight back (11:50PM), they even sent links for us to book which we did for 40USD but on the day the guide told us we couldn't go as the boat gets back around 10:30pm so we would miss our flight back. He arranged a felucca cruise instead but we had no dinner and no entertainment, and nowhere to even stop and grab a bite to eat and I'm diabetic so this was a huge concern for me. We were then dropped back at cairo airport 5 hours before our flight. When we first booked this trip, we asked if we could have an earlier flight back to hurghada as I'd seen one online departing at 8:50, I was told this was not possible as it was a "fake flight". When we got to cairo airport, there was in fact a flight departing at 8:50 that night. We paid £500 for this trip for 2 adults but we thought it's once in a lifetime, let's just go for it. Unfortunately viator ruined it for us. We could have done this trip twice over with another company for the same price with no problems. I want to do luxor next time but certainly won't book with viator!

What a fabulous trip 🤩
Treated like a VIP the whole entire day.. been to Cairo on bus trip before but did not compare. Knowledgeable friendly guide Mohammed Ibrahim and happy driver couldn’t do enough for you..all pickups drop offs even airport ran seemlessly. Packed in so much to the day everything we wanted with no wasting time in hard sell shops. Can’t recommend this trip enough 🤩 Was worth every single penny and more 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Highly recommend!
I must start off by saying I would 100% recommend booking this trip. When it says private tour it is litteraly just the party you book with, which we were surprised about which made the day a lot better from the very start. Transfer from hotel to airport in morning was seamless, flight to Cairo was easily managed all the airport staff are friendly and will point you in the right direction. When arrived in Cairo was greeted immediately by our guide for the day “Andrew” straight out of walking out of departures who could speak very good English that was clear to understand and communicate with. The driver for the day was welcoming and friendly, he even made fresh Egyptian coffee at one point during the day which was nice. On travelling from the airport to the pyramids our guide passed numerous information on the area inbetween the airport and the pyramids. When at the pyramids great attention to detail was made on getting the perfect pictures and making sure we didn’t miss any information opportunities whilst also diverting any issues with local hagglers before they even became an issue. All day you could tell Andrew had a true passion for the facts behind ancient Egypt and was always accommodating to any questions we had. Andrew ensured we completed all of the set itinerary without compromising on quality and it was a truely enjoyable day with him and the driver Mohamed. The guide and the driver made the perfect team. Only criticism would be food choice on the tour you get taken to a local Egyptian restaurant buffet which if you are like ourselves “British and fussy” this isn’t food we would touch however hats of to Andrew he was more than willing to try to accommodate other solutions for us once he realised the issue. We had extra time at the end and even had time to stop off at a local shisha lounge before the return flight home which was nice. The transfer back to the airport was seemless with clear instruction given again. When landed we were met at the terminal door and transferred back to our hotel to finish the day. I must say both me and my partner are fairly physically fit and both were very drained at the end of the day there is a lot of walking and terrain to tackle, if you have any mobility issues this isn’t a trip for you! One negative that did irritate us both slightly was on the return transfer once back in Hurghada the transfer guide specifically requested us to tip our transfer driver, now bearing in mind this is a £400 trip already and we had already tipped both the tour guide and the tour guide driver what we feel to be quite well *which was well deserved* this did irritate us quite abit especially after a long day as it was for a simple transfer that was included within the price anyway, it may sound petty moaning however to be asked for it felt a little insulting especially when the actual guide for the day and driver for the day in Cairo we were with showed no expectations or pressure of any form of tipping. All in all I would 100% recommend this trip it is a once in a life time opportunity without a shadow of doubt. If booking defiantly specially ask for Mohammed (driver) and Andrew (the guide) you won’t regret it!

Sightseeing in Cairo and Giza
Very enjoyable but long day seeing all the main sites. Our guide, Yousef, was extremely knowledgeable and spoke superb English and showed us things and described things that you would miss if travelling on your own. Our driver got us close to all the entrances and exits to avoid long walks in the hot sun and no need to queue for tickets. Only criticism would be the unscheduled trips to a papyrus shop and an essential oils shop which weren’t listed on the itinerary and were basically opportunities to fleece tourists. Once you said ‘no’ they were quick to leave you alone but it wasted an hour of the day which could have been spent seeing more of the city. The timing of our trip in July meant it was searingly hot, so probably best go when cooler between Oct-March.

Pyramids at sunrise
A brutally early start meant that we arrived in Cairo before 6am. We were met by our guide Mohammad and headed straight for the pyramids. We were the first tourists on site and had the great pyramid and Khafres pyramid to ourselves. The Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo were also really interesting and brought to life by the encyclopaedic knowledge of Mohammad. The tour is not cheap but it is good value and if, like us, you have the pyramids to yourselves, the experience is priceless.

From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Hurghada Pyramids of Giza & old Egyptian museum by flight start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
