Average service
1. Issue Quite intimidating with pressurised sales tactics for optional excursions such as the hot air balloon ride and camel ride around the pyramids that was totally uninterested in participating. He was disappointed when I was not interested and making statements that I was the only person who doesn't want to do it and didn't understand why. As a customer I pick and choose what I want to do NOT what they want to do!! 2. Issue The quality and location of the Pyramid park resort was disappointing. The bathroom was disgusting and have not been cleaned especially during this time in the pandemic. 3. Issue Tour guides look at tourists with invisible bags of money and demanding excessive tips. The guide in Luxor to Aswan was the worse. 4. Issue Tour guides putting tourists in tourist traps to spend on extortion amounts on tat. I spoke to one local in Aswan who warned me where tour guides take you and ensure the prices stay high as they earn huge commissions. Go to the local markets NOT where the tour guides take you. I fell for that in Cairo in the Papyrus shop. Overall more bad than a good experience. Happy to be home!!!
Response from the operator: First, this traveler did not book with Trip Advisor or any company affiliated with it. Second, the company he booked with, if it saw that it was right, it took a return, but it did not happen

5 days in Cairo and Alexandria
I wanted to thanks Walid and Ahmed for this tour. This tour was a 5 days tour in Cairo and Alexandria. I got into traveling from my Game company I work for in USA. Walid is very loyal, very confident, he has a lot of energy, he possess a lot of ideas, good translation, very knowledgeable of my attractions and my interest of the country. I learn a lot about the culture specially the difference between muslim and islam in Mosque and Citadel. He took me to the Giza pyramid which is the main thing about the country and very amusing and attractive sightseeings. Walid showed me in the ancient writing of Hieroglyphs combined logographic, syllabic and alphabetic elements writing during the ancient times. The designs is very beautiful and symbolics makes me feels like I want to learn this languages as well and people actually took them a long time to learn this language at our time now. In the Dessert around October is still warm. I loved the peaceful sightseeing of the pyramids as well as the main Egyptian Museums where it all begins and it is amazing true story in to live in the past life of the Pharaohs, gods and goddess, high priestess during the ancient times. I also loved the sculptures and artifacts with ancient Hieroglyphs symbols. My favorite part of the storytelling was during the ancients time in Egypt the battle between cleopatra against the Greeks and Romans. I had no Idea that Romans, Greeks colonized this country as well. I was also most interested in Architectures in Egypt like the Mosque of Mohammad, Khalili and Citadel and Alexandria. Walid Introduced me In Mosque Of how the muslims and islam religion with families traditionally do their worship on the daily basis life of Mosque. Khalili has a nice jewelries, candles, perfumes that are very sophisticated and unique. The people around are so nice and I felt welcome in Egypt of the Dessert area and everywhere the places. In Alexandria Walid, Ahmed and I did the tour in the boat around the border of mediterranean sea and another sightseeing to see where the wave of water is very wobble, the wind felt so warm and I just feel very safe and comfortable with them. Theres a scenario whereas the people would like to get to know me and my living situations about United States of America and the similarities between two countries. I liked the clothes they wear in traditional way and I even blend in with the people when I wear their clothing styles. I take everything from granted and I enjoyed it a lot. I will miss It the most. It is an honor meeting new people and again would like to thank the Tour company for giving me an opportunity to experiences the The activity in Egypt.

Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili cost?
+
Prices start at $1 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili?
+
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 Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili 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 Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili?
+
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 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Giza Pyramids and Egyptian Museum and Citadel and Khan elkhalili 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.
