Private Tour to Giza Pyramids & GEM from Alexandria Port

Thanks to Nefert Tours for the unforgettable experience!

I booked a tour for me and my friends. It was our first time in egypt so we were very grateful to find out about Sameh as a tour guide. From the very beginning we felt that we were in good and trustworthy hands. The organization was perfect. He took care of our needs and design the tour really according to what we prefered to see. We started to go to the pyramids first and went to the museum afterwards. Egypt is a country with a lot to offer so we have experienced a lot of different tour guides during our stay but i can definitely say that Sameh was the best one we experienced. Thank you so much. We hope to come back to Egypt at sometime and get to see more of the beautiful country.

Could have been amazing

The private tour promised to be amazing, however it wasn’t the case. We waited outside the cruise port at 08:00 as booked and waited while looking out for our driver while being harassed by about 10000 other taxi drivers in the area. Messaged the agent 2x and it took 30mins to get a response. They said driver was delayed and would be there for 09:00. He finally arrived at 11:15. There was allegedly fog on the road and it delayed him , however my argument was if they were due to pick us up at 08:00 they should have been on the road from 05:30 if coming from Giza/cairo. They clearly set off late. Once the driver arrived, we were bundled into a minibus with 5 other guests (all of whom had booked a private tour) and drove the 2.5hrs to Giza. Upon arrival to the Pyramids we were given some water/juice and a snack cereal bar which was nice. We were then split into 2 groups and assigned our guide. Salma was a good guide and knowledgeable and good company for the tour. We had a mild panic as without explaination she took the hand of our 9yr old son and rushed him off through the crowds, out of our sight. Turns out that children must go through a different gate. It would be sensible to explain this as in what is a chaotic and crazy area, we were already on high alert in case someone were to snatch him and disappear! We finished the pyramids and were then supposed to visit the GEM Museum, however were told it was closed and we could not but they would give us a river cruise instead. Something we were not interested in doing and asked for the ticket price to be returned but were rejected. In fact a lady sharing our trip was forced to pay the guide for her Pyramid entry ticket despite it being included, and our guide actually turned nasty when she was questioned on this. It was very embarassing. On our way back to Alexandria we were taken to a papyrus museum, and then to a restaurant where the gave us the complimentary meal, grilled chicken, rice and hummus. It was nice but by this point was 4:30pm and 10hrs since breakfast so we would have eaten anything! Had the excursion actually started at 08:00 as booked, the food would have been at a much more regular time of around midday. After we had eaten we re boarded the minibus and continued back to the ship. Our driver got lost, going to the wrong port terminal and instead of a 6mins diversion, took a 40mins trip through backstreets and alleys meaning we missed dinner on board. We lost hours of the day through delays and their late arrival, plus didn’t get to goto the GEM Museum, despite paying for the ticket in the cost of the tour. I asked viator/the agent for 50% refund as we only got 50% of what we purchased and felt that this was fair, but were immediately rejected. In summary the transport was adequate and the pyramid tour great, however the delays, poor communication and disappointing options in lieu of the GEM museum, i cannot recommend this tour. Had they arrived on time, and given us the option to visit the egyptian museum in cairo it would have been a similar experience to that we paid for (including 3x museum entry tickets) however the actual experience was half as good as expected and included only half the tour.

Perfect! FUN! Core Memories

Absolutely Amazing Tour! Very professional to work with and organise! Picked us up from the Cruise Terminal right on time and drove us down in style. We had to come back early and they fit right within our time constraints. Our guide Summer was amazing! Very charismatic, savvy with locals even acting as our bodyguard! Excellent photographer too! Very knowledgeable expert in Egypt, its sites and history and ofc papyrus! Totally worth the price! The local food at the end was the icing on the cake too and included in the cost. Will go straight to them if I ever return to Egypt.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with our team and that Summer made your tour memorable and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words about our service, timing, and the overall experience. It would be our pleasure to welcome you again on your next visit to Egypt!
