Flawless Flight Trip

The flight from Sharm was so worth it. We were at the Pyramids by 9 AM. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend the flight option if you have the budget!

Long day but amazing

Took the bus tour. It's a very long day (19 hours total), but seeing the Sphinx in person made every minute of travel worth it. The lunch was surprisingly good.

Private Tour Excellence

We booked the private flight tour for our family. Having our own guide meant we could skip the crowds at the Museum. A bucket list item checked off perfectly.

Magnificent Sphinx

The Sphinx is much more impressive in person. The tour was well-paced and we had enough time for photos without feeling rushed.

Beautiful Experience

The Giza plateau is magical at sunrise. The lunch at the restaurant with the pyramid view was the highlight of my Egypt trip.
