Ancient Egypt with great works - This was my first experience with them, but I'm sure it won't be my last! Our tour guide was perfect, very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and explained everything in a very clear and funny way. I really appreciate all the effort they put into making this tour one of the best tours of my life and I want to thank our agent for organizing this tour for us.

A trip not to be missed - The tour is an indispensable part of the Egypt tour. A part of ancient history and still has a strong impression to this day. The tour service I chose included entrance tickets and pick-up and drop-off. I heard many interesting facts from the tour guide about the formation of the Pyramids, the guardian sphinx and the surrounding temples

Very satisfied with the service - It's so mysterious and great. I see the pyramid as having 8 sides. Before arriving, I thought it had only 4 sides. The staff are extremely friendly and enthusiastic. They know ancient history. I am very satisfied with the service.

The trip was full of excitement - The pyramid is huge and mysterious. It is built with large blocks of stone. I saw the blocks of stone stacked on top of each other in a step-like shape. It took me half a day to visit all 3 pyramids but I was very excited. There were many people who visited like me and they were also very surprised.

Great Pyramids - the Great Pyramids were awe-inspiring, even more impressive in person. Our guide's knowledge brought these ancient giants to life. We explored the mysterious Sphinx and soaked up the desert atmosphere. Perfect for history buffs or anyone wanting a glimpse of one of the Seven Wonders!
