“Great trip! Enjoyed it very much. Our guide was ok. He gave a lot of info/history about place which took up majority of the time and we hardly got any free time! My husband and I traveled from very far (Trinidad and Tobago) yes the info was appreciative but we wanted to some free time to take pictures and savor the moment! The pyramids was the last stop we decided to leave the group and explore on our own! Other than that it was great! Our guide knows his history but need to find balance in giving info and allowing free time!”

Private guided tour to Giza Pyramids, and Great Sphinx

14.Private guided tour to Giza Pyramids, and Great Sphinx

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,755 reviews · from $35

Review of a $35 private Giza tour with hotel pickup, Egyptologist guide, pyramid views, camel ride, lunch, water, and Sphinx visit.

“I'm glad I did this experience because i would have struggled if i was on my own, but I wouldn't do it again. My guide spent way too much time educating me about the pyramids & surrounding areas. I think she did this because I was solo & she needed to fill the time. At one point she had me sit down, on the ground, and pulled out what looked like pages from an elementary textbook, which she talked through with me 1 by 1. The best part was the camel ride, and during that time I was with a different guide. At the end, she asked me to leave…”

Review of Hurghada’s 6-island speedboat tour, with dolphin watching, coral-reef snorkeling, beaches, sandbanks, costs, and practical tips.

“This 6-islands tour is, in my opinion, the best and most complete boat experience in Hurghada. It offers a perfect balance between excellent snorkeling and enough time to truly enjoy the islands, without any rush. The snorkeling is a major highlight, especially the stop at a sunken boat, which makes the experience even more memorable. The tour includes ample time at Orange Bay and at Magawish Island, which is just as beautiful but far less crowded, giving it a more authentic and relaxed atmosphere. The speedboat, with its limited capacity, is a huge advantage. Even though it is a full-day tour, the fast transfers allow you to comfortably visit all…”
