Visiting the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx is a must-do when you're in Egypt, but it's frustrating to deal with all of the touts that line up on the way there.

The best solution is to book a private tour guide who can show you around without any hassle or unwanted sales pitches.

This tour gives an excellent opportunity to explore 3 main eras of Egyptian history as you will explore the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx (ancient Egyptian history), the Hanging Church in Coptic Old Cairo (Christian history) and the Alabaster Mosque in the Citadel (Islamic history). You'll have plenty of time at each site so that you can take your own photos, talk with local people, shop for souvenirs and eat lunch while enjoying great views from across pyramids plateau. Your day trip ends back at your hotel whereupon our driver will drop you off after dropping off other passengers at their hotels/host
