Wonderful guide, Tour company could do better
My pyramid tour with Nada was perfect. She was a patient, kind, and knowledgeable guide. The tour company (Misk Tours) was hard to reach to confirm my booking. I only got in contact with them 3 hours before my 9am pickup time. They also didn’t relay the proper information about my tour package to my guide.
Response from the operator: Dear SarahGail, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are very pleased to hear that you had a perfect experience with Nada and that you found her to be patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She is truly a valued member of our team, and your kind words will certainly be shared with her. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced regarding communication and booking confirmation. We understand how important clear and timely communication is, especially before a scheduled pickup, and we regret that we did not meet your expectations in this regard. We also apologize for the confusion concerning the tour package details provided to your guide. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and we are reviewing our internal processes to ensure better coordination and responsiveness moving forward. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, as it helps us improve both our service and organization. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a seamless experience from start to finish in the future. Sincerely, Misk Tours

Solo tour of pyramids (from a woman’s perspective)
I had a great experience as a solo tourist of the pyramids! Since my experience was as a solo female traveler, I will be detailed in my review for anyone else who might be wondering. My guide, Mohamed, and the driver, Ahmed, arrived to my hotel lobby promptly at 9:00 AM for pickup. I felt comfortable during the ride and Mohamed provided interesting facts about the city of Cairo, the Nile River and of course, the pyramids. Upon arrival, we purchased entry tickets to the grounds as well as optional tickets to walk through one or two pyramids (I chose to walk through one). At the time of my travel, the entry fee was 160 EGP and the pyramid walkthrough was 100 EGP. Seeing the pyramids in person was breathtaking! The tour included a camel ride, which turned out to be lots of fun. There are different guides at different stations, so someone else (other than my main guide) accompanied me for the camel ride and a third person accompanied me for the pyramid walkthrough. Please note:: these additional guides (not my main guide) can be a bit aggressive for tips. You are not required to tip them. Even though I chose to tip them in EGP (the Egyptian currency) they still asked for more money or US dollars instead (how rude). Mohamed and Ahmed (the main tour guide and driver) were more polite and did not urge for tips. They were grateful for what they received. After seeing the pyramids, I took pictures near the Sphinx and then we made a stop at a place that makes papyrus paper. Learning about the process was extremely interesting (but once again beware of the pressure to buy papyrus artwork). I was offered to stop for lunch (part of the tour experience), but I had a time constraint, so unfortunately I cannot give a review of that experience. Overall, I recommend doing this tour, especially if you are touring solo. The primary reason I would recommend the tour as a solo traveler is less about the information you will receive (although that was good) and more about having some sense of security. Before each station of the tour, Mohamed briefed me on what people might say and how I should respond so I would not feel harassed (for example, if people were trying to get me to buy something). Additionally, Mohamed accompanied me at every station along the way so he was able to speak Arabic to the other guides, since I do not know much of the language. Other items to note: Pickup was convenient: my hotel was not one that was listed among the options while booking; however, that was not an issue. I simply entered the hotel information and the driver and tour guide found it. Communication was easy with WhatsApp: I would recommend you download WhatsApp for easy communication if you are visiting from outside of Egypt. If you are connected to WiFi at your hotel or rental home, the tour guide can easily communicate with you at pick-up time.
Response from the operator: Dear nn8903, It’s wonderful that you have a good time in Cairo with the local guide Mohamed . At Lands of Egypt Tours, we realize that each journey is special for every client. So, we would like to do everything possible to ensure your trip of discovery to Giza Pyramids is one of your best travel experiences. I hope you have another chance to visit Egypt one day and we can make sure your tour is even more pleasant than the last!

Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch?
+
Around 1 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day to Giza Pyramids with camel ride including lunch 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
