It was very exciting to see the pyramids and go through the pyramids and walking up the tight stairs to see the king's tomb. Yeah, at the top of the pyramid. The air warm walking up the stairs, you have to be in pretty good shape. Should have hiking shoes or tennis shoes. Do not wear dress shoes whatsoever. The ground is uneven.

Private half-day with departure at 8 a.m. sharp and return around noon, but you can take as much time as you like. We were able to see the pyramids from all angles, as well as the Sphinx. The guide, Reda (in French), was very friendly and smiling, making it a great outing! And the driver, Tamer, was very vigilant on the road. Just so you know, we had taken the private exit without entry to the pyramids etc. (but it's certainly possible to change your mind on the spot if you change your mind at the entrance, I think). You have to pay the entrance ticket to the pyramids in addition to the tour (1700 Egyptian pounds). We just didn't appreciate the cash cow aspect at the end of the tour, even though we understood that this was the game... "don't buy anything at the pyramids, you'll get ripped off there's another store outside". But we didn't really find the attractive prices or the coveted objects. Our visit to the papyrus store was a little oppressive, with the saleswoman insisting heavily that we buy something... Otherwise, everything was perfect and I highly recommend the visit, which was rich in detail and history. Thank you Reda!

The experience was very pleasant; we did all the stops described in the tour. The only not too positive note was the guide who was uncommunicative and without too much desire to answer the questions asked. Also was asked several times if we felt like going inside to visit the pyramid of Cheops but there was no way we could do it. Driver punctual and safe, lunch very good.

I was picked up from my hotel in the morning by Ahmed and a driver. Ahmed speaks very good German and was able to tell me all about the pyramids. In addition to visiting the pyramids, we also had a delicious meal in a papyros store, a perfumery and a hotel (Valley of the Kings). I can highly recommend this tour. I enjoyed it very much. Everything was perfect, everyone was very hospitable and courteous.

In short, it's not worth the money! What bothered me the most is that they take you to papyrus and perfume stores to buy overpriced junk, there was nothing in the description! Even when you pointed out that you didn't want to visit any stores, this was ignored. The tour was much shorter than stated and more than 1 hour of it was spent in overpriced tourist traps. You feel forced to buy something there because otherwise you won't get out. Just annoying, they think tourists are all idiots! 50euros for a papyrus yes that's clear! I really had to laugh but not because it was funny.

We had a fantastic tour and Ahmed, our guide is an archeologist, made our tour even better, prepared and a shield for the scammers. Rember that of you want to go into the Pyramids you must buy a separate ticket, even with headout option "all inclusive" who cover only the general entrances.

The day was great. We saw lots of pyramids and our guide Reda, was super nice, he explained the history of the pyramids very well and repeated the information often enough so that we remembered the essential information. I highly recommend Reda, he was great. His driver, Ahmad, drove very well, he was careful and waited for us at the place of interest and on time every time. Nothing to complain about, the day was great and the best during our stay in Giza.

This experience was amazing, the tour is only good as the guide himself. You 100% must ask for Ahmed. Ahmed is a trained Archaeologist and Egyptologist with a vast knowledge of Egyptian history, artifacts, architecture, and culture. He is a walking encyclopedia and is able to answer any question you have. He knew details that only a trained specialist like himself can offer. His range of knowledge stretched from old, middle, new kingdoms, each intermediate period, Greco-Roman period, Arab and Turkish influences, British occupation, and into modern day. Beyond that, he personalized the experience. After seeing Giza plateau and Saqqara pyramid sites, he offered us a choice to either see a third pyramid site, or go to a historical site in Memphis to see an enormous statue of Ramses II. He tailored to our wants and was able to show us more of the things we wanted to see. Finally, he is a great offerer of advice. When we told him where we were going on the remainder of our trip, he gave practical advice for any foreigner who visits Egypt. If you choose this tour, you must ask for Ahmed.

Both, driver and tourguide did a phenomenal job! In Cairo traffic, our driver was reliable, fast (as far as it has been possible) and was driving safely at the same time. For our tourguide, five plus stars! His German language skills are phenomenal, his history knowledge and ability to pinpoint interesting buildings and monuments while driving in Cairo even more of note. I will definitely pass on the word to friends and colleagues about this tour. Thank you!

Hey.. the guide and driver were good but I felt the $50 that I paid was purely for the car and the guide. Rest everywhere I was supposed to pay for the entries which I thought was a part of the package (excluding the entry inside the pyramid) like entry to the museum and pyramids outdoor area. For meals they charged us for the water too. Instead if I would have just booked an Uber and travelled all these places it would have costed us cheaper.

From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized. Our driver was punctual and professional, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. A special shoutout to Malak, our incredible tour guide, who truly made the experience unforgettable. She was not only knowledgeable, providing detailed and fascinating explanations about ancient Egyptian history, but she was also warm, friendly, and very open to questions. Her enthusiasm and passion for Egypt's rich culture really shone through. The entire day was seamless and enjoyable, and I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Egypt’s wonders with expert guidance and excellent service.

The Pyramids of Giza: Your guide to Egypt's iconic monuments

Picture yourself standing before the Pyramids of Giza, their towering forms rising from the golden sands. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, these remarkable structures have stood for over 4,500 years, drawing visitors from across the globe.

Whether you're exploring their interiors, riding a camel through the desert, or simply taking in their incredible scale, a visit to Giza is a journey through history.

Stay on this page to learn more about the tickets for the various pyramids, timings, how to get there, and more. 

Pro tips to make your visit to the Pyramids of Giza a seamless one

From skip-the-line tickets to guided half-day and full-day tours and day trips with additional activities, you have several ticket options to choose from based on budget, time available and adventure level. Read on to find out more about all the ticket options and choose the ones best for you.

Let’s help you pick the perfect Pyramids of Giza experience.

Tickets to the pyramids

  • If you are on a budget with some time constraints and just want to visit the Giza Plateau, Skip-the-line Complex tickets are ideal for you. They will give you access to the Giza Complex but not entry into the Pyramid. You will get to take photos in front of the pyramids and the Sphinx. 
  • If you wish to explore inside the pyramids, you can opt for the Inside the Pyramid Experience, but keep in mind that there will be a lot of tight spaces that will include some climbing and crawling.
  • To dive deeper into Egyptian history beyond Giza, consider Skip-the-line tickets for Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur that will take you to Egypts oldest pyramids at Saqqara, the Colonel Ramses II statue at Memphis and the bent pyramids in Dahshur.

Guided tours

  • If you don’t have enough time but want to explore the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, a guided half-day tour with hotel transfers is available. You can choose between a shared or private experience and optional upgrades that include entry tickets to the pyramids and a camel ride.
  • If you have time and want a comprehensive experience, opt for a full-day guided tour. Visit the Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar on a private or group tour with lunch and a guide. Alternatively, you can explore Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis with entry tickets and lunch, immersing yourself in ancient Egypt’s rich history and iconic landmarks.

Day trips and activities

  • If you're in Cairo with limited time, the Half-Day Guided Tour with a 1-Hour Felucca Ride offers a complete experience. Explore the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, visit the Valley Temple, see the Sphinx, and enjoy a peaceful felucca ride on the Nile with a private guide.
  • If you are travelling from Hurghada and time and budget are not an issue, opt for the Full-Day Trip to Cairo with Guide, Transfers & Lunch that will take you to Cairo by plane or car. With an expert guide, you can explore the all the pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum. This ticket also includes lunch and a return transfer to Hurghada by road or flight.
  • Choose Skip-the-line Complex tickets if you're on a budget and short on time, or the Inside the Pyramid Experience if you want to explore inside. For a deeper dive into history, opt for Skip-the-line tickets to Saqqara, Memphis, and Dahshur.
  • Pick a half-day guided tour for a quick Giza visit or a full-day tour for a more detailed experience, including the Egyptian Museum and Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. From Hurghada, the Full-Day Trip to Cairo is ideal if budget isn't a concern.
  • If you’re in Cairo briefly, the Half-Day Guided Tour with a Felucca Ride offers a balanced mix of history and a Nile experience.

Book your tickets online

Scams around the Giza Pyramids are common, including overpriced tickets and unofficial guides. To ensure a hassle-free experience, we strongly recommend booking your tickets and tours online in advance through official platforms. This guarantees fair pricing, avoids on-site confusion, and lets you fully enjoy your visit to this iconic wonder.

Loved seeing the pyramids and sphinx up close. Skip the line saved some time but because of the heat we still opted to hire a horse cart to take us around. It was worth it. We also purchased the option of going inside the great pyramid. This was not worth it. It was just a long low tunnel to a small room. Waste of money.

Both, driver and tourguide did a phenomenal job! In Cairo traffic, our driver was reliable, fast (as far as it has been possible) and was driving safely at the same time. For our tourguide, five plus stars! His German language skills are phenomenal, his history knowledge and ability to pinpoint interesting buildings and monuments while driving in Cairo even more of note. I will definitely pass on the word to friends and colleagues about this tour. Thank you!
