What a disgrace!
My wife and I were genuinely looking forward to visiting the Giza Pyramids, especially since we thought we had booked with Travel Trend Egypt, which we thought a reputable travel agency that had great reviews !!! Unfortunately, our tour of the pyramids and the museum turned out to be the most disappointing part of our entire trip to Egypt. The guide showed up 30 minutes late, not the end of the world, but it quickly became clear he was inexperienced. The visit to the pyramids felt extremely rushed. We were pressured into taking a camel ride, which we had to pay for upfront, and then were asked to tip the camel handler, making the total cost 50 pounds for just 10 minutes. After that, we were herded into shops and pushed to buy overpriced items. When I showed some interest in a piece of papyrus art, I was immediately escorted to the cashier, and the whole situation felt forced and uncomfortable. I tried to express how I felt to the guide, but he just kept nodding awkwardly and saying, “It’s okay,” without actually addressing the issue. We ended up spending less than 30 minutes at the museum, and the day concluded with a really poor lunch, overcooked rice and a single small piece of beef and chicken. Overall, I’m just relieved that day is behind us. The only honest reviews about this company seem to be the ones where people are clearly crying out for help, and even those are met with rude and dismissive responses. Save yourself the stress and avoid booking with these scammers.
Response from the operator: Dear, Adam Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent tour of the Giza Pyramids and the museum with us. We sincerely apologize for the frustrations and disappointments you experienced—this is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we deeply regret that your day fell so far short of expectations. We take your concerns very seriously: - The late arrival and lack of engagement from your guide are unacceptable, and we will address this with our team immediately. - Pressuring guests into activities (like the camel ride) or purchases goes against our policies, and we will reinforce training to prevent this. - The rushed timeline, poor lunch quality, and lack of responsiveness to your concerns are not reflective of the experience we want our guests to have. To make this right, we would like to offer you a discount on any future services should you decide to give us another opportunity. We are also reviewing this incident with our staff to ensure no other guests encounter similar issues. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we truly appreciate your honesty. If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at [your email/phone]. Again, we apologize for the stress this caused during your trip to Egypt and hope the rest of your travels were more enjoyable. at the mean time can you let me know date of your trip, as I can't find it, the only one we have in june Guest Name: James Kijek , guide sure no one forced them to do anything as they didn't got Camels ride or they went to any shop Sincerely, Ahmed Talaat GM Travel Trend Egypt +201066671279

fantastic trip, definitely worth doing a private trip, even doing with small children.
Thank to Mac . I loved the trip from start to finish. Taxi picked us up from the hotel to the airport, visa ready for us (paid extra 5$ ) plus 25. He came with us through customs. landing in Cairo taxi was waiting outside with English speaking guide. took us to the museum first about over an hour give us lots off information. Then to the Nile boat about 30 _40 mins ride. Next to a buffet restaurant we had penalty to choose from as we are vegetarian, then to the Pyramids guide was with us for a bit then asked if we wanted free time to explore at our own pace which we were happy to do. He met us back at the second Pyramid and took us to where we can see all 3 together ( he did ask if we wanted to walk round the 3rd one but we said no ) . Next to see sphinx. lasts to the papyrus shop. He then left us and the drive took us to the airport and handed us to someone else and he looked after us though the airport. taxi was waiting at the airport back to Rixos hotel. Back at the hotel I did recommend this trip to other guest thank you so much Mac we really enjoyed it , it was nice meeting you and your wife. I will recommend this to my friends and family.

A worth while Egyptian Experience
We had a wonderful day visiting the Egyptian treasures in the Museum, a visit to a papyrus museum, delicious lunch and very memorable visit to the Giza Pyramid complex and sphinx. Mohammed, our tour guide was greatly knowledgeable about the ancient artifacts and history. He has a lovely sense of humor and made us feel very happy and comfortable. Our Driver, also Mohammed, was amazing at negotiating the complex Cairo Traffic system and worked wonders to get us to all of our destinations through the city congestion. Thank you both for a very memorable stay. We can highly recommended this tour and tour company.

Choose Travel Trend if you want the greatest experiences with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. I'm traveling with Travel Trend Egypt for the second time. This time, it involved a five-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. From there, we traveled to Abu Simbel and the brand-new Aswan Dam. Abu Simbel is close to the Sudanese border and is situated around 300 kilometers south of Aswan.We traveled there in a little private minibus. Our tour guide WAEL, who is in charge, did a superb job of explaining Egypt's fascinating history.Because of this, I award the entire company and crew, including the guides, assistant, and driver Wael, high marks for yet another enjoyable journey throughout the Beautiful Country.

Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch
I toured both Cairo and Memphis with Travel Trend. Our tour guide, Nader Ahmed was with two of my friends and I for 4 days and I alone for the 4th day. I can't believe how many places he was able to take us in that amount of time and yet I never felt rushed. I was so very impressed with all of Nader's knowledge. There wasn't a question that I asked that he couldn't answer. He was friendly, accommodating, and oh so knowledgeable. It was clear that not only did he have knowledge and scads of information, he had a passion for his work and for his country. He pointed out details that I would have never noticed or even thought about. I can't say enough good things about my tours. I felt completely safe in a city that was completely new to me and awestruck by all that I learned while on my tours. I can highly recommend Nader and Travel Trend for tours of Egypt. I should add that he also does tours of Hurghada and Luxor and I suppose many other places. These were just the two places I visited. My pictures reflect just a very small portion of the places Nader introduced us to.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with 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 Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with Lunch?
+
Around 3 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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Cairo - Pyramids and The Egyptian Museum with 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
