What's included in the EUR 101 price?

The tour includes private transport and a professional guide for 8 hours. Monument entry fees (Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque) are typically additional; confirm inclusions with your operator before booking.

Can I choose which sites to visit, or is the itinerary fixed?

As a private tour, the itinerary is flexible. You can work with your guide to adjust which monuments to prioritise, how long to spend at each, and meal breaks—though the three main sites (Giza, Museum, Citadel) form the standard route.

How much walking is involved?

Expect 2–3 hours of moderate walking spread across the day. The Citadel and Pyramids require some uphill sections; the Museum is largely indoor. Wear supportive shoes and bring water.

Is photography allowed at the Pyramids and Museum?

Photography is permitted at the Pyramids and Citadel. At the Egyptian Museum, cameras are generally allowed in most galleries, though some restrictions apply to certain artefacts; your guide will advise on-site.

What time does the tour start and finish?

Tours typically begin early morning (6–7 a.m.) to maximise daylight and minimise crowds, finishing around mid-afternoon. Confirm exact times with your operator based on your hotel location.

Is this tour accessible for people with limited mobility?

The Pyramids and Citadel involve uneven terrain and stairs; the Museum is more accessible. Discuss any mobility concerns with your operator beforehand to arrange modifications or alternative sites if needed.

our guide Aiko sorted everything for us and the carvings on the main temple wall was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the tour we did in dubrovnik last year, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question, no joke
