A private half-day tour of the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx with your own Egyptologist guide. We collect you from your Cairo or Giza hotel in a private air-conditioned car, and you spend the morning on the Giza Plateau at a relaxed pace, with time for photos and questions.
You walk around the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and see the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure. Your guide explains how and why they were built, then drives you to the panoramic viewpoint for the classic view of all the Giza pyramids together. The tour ends at the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre.
Prices start at $60 per person and include your guide, private transport, hotel pickup and entry to the Giza Plateau. Going inside a pyramid, a camel ride, a quad bike ride by the Pyramids or lunch can be added on request. Want more in one day?
