Great tour

Mirian_C, Dec 2023

Great experience. Felt safe and driver and guide were very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend this tour. Was an amazing experience and you definitely need the help of a local guide to avoid being asked tips and money from everyone around you

nice day in Cairo!

Megan_L, Dec 2023

Christine was such a well knowledge and kind woman, she was so nice to talk with all day and made sure we were having a good time. We got to see the pyramids and ride a camel so we had a successful day. Hindsight being 20/20 we wish we would have asked about hitting the museum instead of the shopping. We weren't able to have lunch as we ran out of time since we had a change in our itinerary seemed to create directional issues maneuvering from Alexandria to Memphis to Cairo.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thanks our valued customer for your great review . We are sorry that you missed visiting the Egyptian Musuem . We will take an action against the guide for this shopping and missing the Egyptian Museum . We are happy that you had a good day in pyramids and Memphis . We hope to see you soon !!

Great one day tour visit Cairo from Alexandria cruise port

Cathy_w, Dec 2023

Great tour to visit Cairo and Pyramids in one day arriving by cruise. Our guide Dina waits us at the port gate with our names (remember you should walk out to the cruise port gate) as expected. She is knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and we visited the Pyramids ,Sphinx ,Egyptian museum. It is a long hour tour and we didn’t have energy to see more. Dina is great. Thanks

Mostly good experience

John_C, Nov 2023

Pickup was from Alexandria port, but tour driver didn't have license to enter gate of port so had to walk several hundred yards past taxi stand and bridge to meet van, which was hard for elderly mother. Had to do the same after return. Driver did a good job, even though most drivers in Cairo drive recklessly. In addition to driver and guide, security guard also came along on trip. First guide was Mehdat, whose English is not fluent, which made communication while traveling from Alexandria to Cairo frustrating. In Cairo, another guide named Mina replaced Mehdat for visit to pyramids and museum. Mina's English and knowledge of the sites we visited was excellent. Tour included stops at Papyrus Institute and essential oil shop for sales presentations. Tour included buffet lunch, which was nice. Camel rides are available for extra charge at pyramids and worth doing. On return trip, Mehdat replaced Mina on way back to ship. Having so many different persons involved in tour increases tipping, so plan accordingly. Tour did a good job of returning on time. Consider using another operator with access to port if limited mobility issues.

Pyramioc Giza

MaryAnne_C, Nov 2023

The pyramids of Giza is an experience not to be missed. This tour was awesome and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. Price was reasonable and worth the value. I highly recommend this tour.

our guide with mirette...

lh_m, Oct 2023

our guide with mirette tours was very patient, attentive and very thorough in his explanation at museum with king tut . fantastic without being too wordy . very interesting stories. and was able to communicate in English very well. Aboud, i think , was a past curator in egypt and was very well versed on egyptian history and stories with each and every artifact , though he speedily took us through museum in an hour ; we believe we got more than we bargained for. he was able to get us on and negotiate for camel ride at the pyramids and a horse cart ride around all the pyramids which was very appreciated . he also took care of getting us tickets to go down under a pyramid( which wasnt really interesting in itself) but was something to say you actually did that few other people have done. we travelled from alexandria cruise ship so there was a lot of travel included and had to walk out of port ( about a km ) to get to the gate to meet mirette but it was all worth it . We travelled in a new minivan and was very comfortable.We cut out the egyptian lunch and changed it to mcdonalds as one of our kids has dietary limitations and this was accommodated with ease. overall i would give this tour with this specific tour guide a 10/10

Fantastic adventure!

Michelle_G, May 2023

We enjoyed our Cairo trip immensely. We saw, the Great Pryamids, had a rid on a camel, the sphinx, paper museum (this was very interesting!) Bazaar, lunch was included and fantastic (we even said hello to the ladies making the bread 👌). After lunch we were taken to an Egyptian cotton shop, where we bought some clothes. We visited the royal perfume shop (the smells were wonderful). We spoke to our guide about our trip and expressed we would like to see some church's (so glad we asked!). He took us to see the hanging church and st marks. Beautiful and fantastic history. Finally we enjoyed a look around the Egyptian museum and saw Tutankhamuns mask and treasures! Throughout the day we were privately driven in an air conditioned car. Our driver was brilliant, we felt safe with him and he drove us between all the different places very efficiently (thank you!). Our guide Gerges was really good and looked after us very well, very knowledgeable. If you are exploring Cairo, we definitely recommend booking a tour. We felt safe and he looked after us very well.

No volvería a tomar un tour con ellos.

Ines_C, Nov 2023

Prometieron una camioneta privada y cuando llegamos, había otra pareja con idioma diferente del que habíamos contratado por las 3 primeras horas. Nos tocó en la parte de atrás de una camioneta, sin vista, por 3 horas de camino. No se oía nada a la guía así que el traslado de 3 hrs a El Cairo, fue muy malo. La guía muy muyyyy amable, tratando de hablar en los dos idiomas y de hacer cómodo nuestro viaje. El chofer y la guía muy amables y con muchas ganas de ayudar! Pero la mentira de mandarnos con más gente si pagamos mucho dinero por un tour privado, no estuvo bien.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

En primer lugar, nos disculpamos por esto. Pero su automóvil privado y su guía ya lo han estado esperando durante más de 45 minutos y nos hemos puesto en contacto con usted muchas veces y no hubo respuesta y, de hecho, el tráfico allí impide que cualquier automóvil espere demasiado y su automóvil privado ya lo ha hecho. He estado allí desde las 6:30 am, pero desafortunadamente eso estaba fuera de nuestras manos, las reglas de tránsito ordenaron que el auto se moviera y en su lugar le enviamos otro auto con guía para comenzar su recorrido a tiempo, esto fue solo hasta El Cairo. En El Cairo, ha estado solo en una camioneta grande privada con su guía en español y tiene su recorrido privado a las pirámides de Giza, el museo y el almuerzo. Además, la empresa le ha ofrecido una visita adicional de regalo a la Mezquita Omar Ibn El Aas sin cargos adicionales para disculparse por esto, pero usted se negó. Todo el recorrido en El Cairo y su regreso al puerto fue en su automóvil privado solo con su guía privado en español. Una vez más, nos disculpamos por esto.
