- Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, but the site remains unexcavated.
- Khafre’s Pyramid - Khafre’s pyramid complex features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple revealed several statues of Khafre, some of which were found in a well in the temple floor by Mariette in 1860.
- Menkaure Pyramid - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple.
- Great Sphinx - The Sphinx dates back to the reign of King Khafre. In the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II dedicated a new temple to Hauron-Haremakhet, which was later expanded by subsequent rulers.

Perfect pyramid private tour - This tour with our amazing guide Essam was incredible. They arrived on time to our hotel, the car was super clean, and we got an excellent driver too. Our guide had a deep historical knowledge about ancient Egypt and he spoke a very good English. I highly recommend to book this tour, ask for Essam.

Great Giza and Sphinx tour! - Great! Mahmet/M. . . (I may have spelled it wrong), but he was great, and his driver too, Abdullah (my new play ! Wonderful time! He explained everything, took me to all the sites, explained the histories, and then took me on local tours of a papyrus, cotton, carpet, and oils businesses, and I got the best gifts! Thanks again for everything guys!

Decent tour. - The guys were great, quite professional, they picked us up in Cairo and took us to see the pyramids. There was a long queue to get the tickets but we got there in the end. Pyramids were nice, a bit smaller than I thought they would be, but nice nevertheless. Would I come back there again? No, but it’s definitely worth seeing once in your lifetime. And honestly you can do without a tour guide if you’re not scared of being in Egypt, (it can be scary sometimes) because the information they they give isn’t groundbreaking, you can definitely read up on the internet. You always need to leave a tip (aka Baksheesh) in Egypt when service is provided, so have some dollars ready with ya.

Would give 6 stars if possible! - The tour company was very flexible which was much appreciated considering we had a last-minute change in pick up location. The best part of the tour was our guide Hamdy! He was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Pyramids and Sphinx! Afterwards, for an added bonus he took us to a traditional coffee house where we got to try some Egyptian coffee which made the tour even better!

Lovely day - The huge crowds & the ability of our guide, Afefe, to explain his extensive knowledge of all the sights of Giza. Our driver, Iman, was a most skillful driver and a very pleasant person.

Disappointing experience - Mohammad somehow rushed us through our 4-hour tour in only 3 hours. He spent a lot of time standing and regaling us with the details of Egyptian mythology — he’s obviously knowledgeable — but less time listening and more time viewing would have been preferable. Relatively little time at the pyramids, and none at the Great Pyramid. The kids rode camels (extra charge) which they enjoyed. Drove to a spot on a busy road from which we could see the Sphinx and took some photos, but never actually visited it. I wondered whether he wanted to avoid paying the entrance fee. Then off to the unscheduled but obligatory visit to the papyrus factory where we were shown how papyrus is made (we knew) and were encouraged to buy some (we didn’t). It was a visit we’d been looking forward to for a long time and were pretty disappointed with this experience.

Giza Pyramids - He gave us very little history, no time frame. Tried to get us to look at the sphinx from the street area only we had to insist on walking closer. It was unfortunate that we had this tour Director because he wasn’t very good and it was once in a lifetime trip.

Ripped off - Terrible experience!!!! With very limited directions we could not find the tour guide at the airport. After this horrible experience, I requested 3 or 4 times for a refund before leaving a review. I did not get a refund nor any kind of a response, not even an apology. This outfit, lives up to the Egyptian attitude of just taking as much money as they can from tourist.
