Grand Egyptian Museum Giza Pyramids and Sphinx in Private Tour

A must for Pharaoh fans

A 'must' in Cairo. Great expositions about the ancient Pharaoh's empires with a spectacular exhibition of the findings in Tut Ank Amun's tomb. Take two days, if you can. The in-person-guided tour was better than the audio guide. But better, if you do both.

The best tour guide we...

The best tour guide we had in Egypt, we only wish we didn't book our other tours in advance so we could book Ahmed (Sassan) with driver, Amir, for all of our tours. They were on time, with water and VERY informative. Ahmed answered all our questions, and we had many, never rushed us, took SO many great photos. Really the best experience with him and again, our driver, Amir. Would recommend 100%.

Response from the operator: Dear Jason, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that Ahmed (Sassan) was the best tour guide you had in Egypt! It’s fantastic to know that his knowledge, patience, and photography skills made your experience so memorable. We’re also delighted that Amir provided excellent service and a comfortable journey. We will certainly share your kind words with both of them! Thank you for choosing Misk Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt for more unforgettable experiences! Best regards, Misk Tours Team

Disappointing Tour - misleading promises , poor organisation & unprofessional tour guide

Our experience on this tour was absolutely appalling. We booked what was advertised as an 8-9 hour tour of the pyramids, including unlimited bottled water, skip-the-queue access, a camel ride, a traditional Egyptian lunch and a tour guide who would make the experience memorable. What we actually received was a rushed, poorly organised and deeply disappointing experience that fell well below what we paid for.Almost none of what was promised was delivered to the standard as promised. Firstly, the tour was advertised as including unlimited water on board, yet we received only around two bottles per person. This is not what was promised and is particularly unacceptable when spending hours out sightseeing in the Egyptian heat. We were also supposed to have a camel ride. We chose a horse and cart instead, as this was more suitable for travelling with our toddler. However, rather than our tour guide accompanying us and making sure everything was properly organised, he stayed behind chatting to other people. We were left being taken by a driver to a hill for photographs, which lasted approximately five minutes.This was a huge letdown and certainly not the experience we had expected. The situation with tipping was particularly uncomfortable. We were happy to tip the driver for his service, as we understand and respect local tipping customs. However, after tipping him, we were told he wanted more money to take us back. We felt pressured into handing over additional money simply to get back, which left a very unpleasant impression. Tipping should be voluntary and based on the service received, not something customers feel forced into paying. The lunch was another major disappointment. The tour advertised a traditional Egyptian lunch, yet we were taken to what was essentially a takeaway. This was not the traditional dining experience we had been led to expect and felt like another promise that had not been fulfilled. Throughout the tour, the guide repeatedly walked away from us to talk on his phone. We did not feel that we were receiving the attention, guidance or professionalism we had paid for. A tour guide should be present, engaged and focused on their customers, especially when they are responsible for a family travelling with a young child. Instead, we were left feeling as though our experience was not a priority. We also specifically booked this tour expecting skip-the-queue access, but this benefit was not provided. This was one of the advertised reasons for choosing this particular tour, making its absence even more frustrating. The tour was advertised as lasting 8-9 hours, yet we arrived at the pyramids at 11:42 am and left at 4:00 pm. We then had to rush around the museum because of the time lost, leaving us unable to enjoy the experience pace. The whole day felt very rushed and poorly managed, completely undermining the purpose of booking an organised tour in the first place. To make matters worse, on the drive back to the airport, the tour guide decided to have the driver drop him off at his own home. The driver then continued the approximately one-hour journey back to the airport with us. We had booked a tour guide to provide a service to us, not to have our time used to accommodate his personal arrangements. This was extremely unprofessional and completely unacceptable. Finally, before we left, the tour guide asked us for tips for both himself and the driver, requesting the same amount for each. After the disappointing service, the missed inclusions, the rushed itinerary and the uncomfortable experience with the driver's additional tipping demands, this request was the final straw. We were left feeling that money was being prioritised over customer satisfaction. Overall, this tour was nowhere near worth the money we paid. Too many advertised inclusions were missing or fell short of expectations, the time management was terrible, and the tour guide's conduct left a great deal to be desired. Rather than enjoying one of the most iconic historical sites in the world, we spent the day dealing with poor organisation, and unnecessary pressure around tipping. We booked this tour to make our visit to the pyramids special, particularly as we were travelling with our toddler. Instead, we were left frustrated, disappointed and feeling thoroughly let down. The experience did not reflect the advertised itinerary or the level of service we reasonably expected. I would strongly urge anyone considering booking this tour to think carefully and to check whether the advertised inclusions will actually be delivered. Based on our experience, I would not recommend it. Would have much rather gone on our own.

Response from the operator: Dear Sinaed, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding your tour. Your scheduled pickup time was 10:00 AM, but you arrived approximately 45 minutes late. Upon meeting your guide, you also requested to be back at Cairo Airport by 6:00 PM. Considering that transportation to and from the attractions takes approximately one hour each way, this left a very limited amount of time to visit both the Giza Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Despite these time constraints, your guide made every effort to ensure that you visited the main attractions included in your itinerary. We believe he did his best to accommodate your schedule and complete the planned sightseeing within the available time. Regarding tipping, your guide simply explained the local tipping customs while discussing the itinerary. Tipping is entirely optional, and your guide did not demand tips. As for lunch, the tour includes a traditional Egyptian lunch, as stated in the booking description. We regret that you felt disappointed, and we take your comments regarding the overall experience seriously. However, we also believe it is important to acknowledge the significant time limitations caused by the delayed arrival and your requested airport return time. Thank you again for your feedback. Best regards, Misk Tours Team
