Good Tour

Erick_O, May 2024

Nour our guide is great and very informative in talking about the Pyramids and its history. The lunch is awesome too. The only thing I didn't like much is the camel ride which is a little disappointing. I think the camel herders are doing too much at the same time instead of focusing on just the people they are accompanying. My camel is bumping into my wife's camel and the herder doesn't seem to mind. All in all, I still recommend this activity though.

Amazing 8 hr Private tour!!

arodr29, May 2024

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about everything Egpytian! She handled all the tickets before so no waiting in lines, she knew creditable vendors, she treated us like family! She knew where to get all the best pictures too! Fatima was so passionate about her culture and it shined through all day. Highly recommend 10/10

Great Day in Caro

Alice_M, Apr 2024

We had a great time on the tour. Our guide gave us lots of information about Cairo, the pyramids, the sphinx, and the exhibits at the Egyptian Museum. She listened to us when we explained what we wanted to do, and did a great job of explaining what to expect. The biggest hit was the pictures I sent back to my grandchildren of me riding a camel. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the highlights of Cairo in a short period of time.

Experience of a lifetime!

Peter_P, Apr 2024

My guide Manar was super knowledgeable. She studied Egyptology and was very good at bringing thousands of years of history to life. She helped me get great photos of the pyramids. The lunch was AMAZING!!! Our driver was a great guy too. Lovely day. Experience of a lifetime!

Everything we wanted and more.

Jonathan_B, Apr 2024

Such a great tour. Pyramids and Sphinx were amazing. Camel ride was so much fun and is a definite must. There were loads of extra stops like a jewellery shop, perfume/extract shop and Papyrus paper art shop. Local restaurant exceeded all expectations and was easily the best meal we'd had in Egypt. We did the Bazaar really quick because we didn't need anything and it's not my cup of tea to barter with locals about products and prices. Finally the museum was way bigger then I thought and had so many artifacts with the stars of the show being a couple of mummies and King Tuts coffins. All of this was enhanced by our brilliant guide Manar and driver (Didn't catch his name). She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic with perfect English. 10/10 Best day we had in Egypt.

A worth while experience - really!

Hans_S, Apr 2024

Guide and driver (Mimo and Mamut) were very good: knowledgeable, friendly, attentive. Visiting all described venues, allowing enough time for us to get a good impression, and getting information far beyond the usual "tour guide" presentation . The driver drove carefully and safely; we always felt that we were in good hands. Thank you for that wonderful experience.

Amazing day trip, Nour was an exceptional tour guide

nichj9, Apr 2024

Wow, Nour was a fantastic tour guide. He was happy to answer any questions and talk to us whilst driving about and advise what we were passing. We also had a very safe driver, sorry I forgot his name. We went to many sites Cairo (*pyrmids *museum), and he even took us to the Bazaar for our request for some fresh dried Hisbicus tea! He realled flexed our time around the thungs that mattered to us. Loved the chosen shopping places and lunch was yum too. Would highly recommend and ask for Nour, our kids adored him too - he engaged with them so well. Thanks again.

Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide

Erlinda_B, Apr 2024

Seeing the Pyramids of course. Enjoyed the Egyptian museum. Liked the Papyrus bazaar, the oils of Egypt tour and the fabrics of Egypt tour.

Fascinating and fun day for all

Justin_G, Apr 2024

A very interesting day with a passionate and kind Egyptologist - couldn't ask for more. The kids loved it and we learnt so much.

Good but extremely over priced

Yousif_A, Apr 2024

The pyramids and sphyinx and the tour guide was very helpful. Also the location of the lunch was amzing. Just a note, the price is very overated and you can find much cheaper with similar program. Just a five star and thumbs up to the tour guide Zeinab!

By far one of the best guided tour experiences!

Fawad_A, Apr 2024

My tour guide (Rania) was very knowledgeable, friendly and fluent in both local Arabic language and English. I was contacted a day in advance to ensure we were well aligned for the day. They were very prompt at my hotel on the day. Driver (Amar) tried his best to accommodate in heavy traffic and Rania was calm and full of smiles throughout the day. She was flexible, helped tremendously navigating through busy bazaar and visiting sites connecting with locals wherever and whenever needed so I could have the best possible experience. Lunch was delicious, she ordered in advance based on my preferences so we could make best use of our time. I was pleasantly surprised to see her knowledge as we visited site to site and her photography. She was kind enough to share her experiences at the sites so I could better utilize my limited time. I have traveled many places and must say this was one of the best. Value for your time, money and flexibility is all what you can ask for in tours like these and I can say with confidence I got it all with this. Amazing experience overall, totally worth it…

Only good things to say!

Stephanie_P, Apr 2024

I only have great things to say about this tour. Our guide, Zenab, was well spoken, reassuring and provided a comfortable environment for our five month old child. I would not hesitate in referring this tour to anyone!

Great Experience

Manoj_G, Apr 2024

The tour was a lot of fun. We had delicious food, went inside the Pyramid of Cheops, went to an essential oil store and learnt more about the essential oils of Egypt, went to a papyrus store and learnt about papyrus, went to the Egyptian Museum and went to a street bazaar. The guide Nour was very nice and gave us a lot of information. It was overall a lot of fun

Superb trip amazed by the pyramids

Jihang_Y, Apr 2024

The local tour guid Mahmoud Hoka is nice and patient, knowledgeable, no hidden fees. He offers good advices during the trip and took good pictures. His English is very good, good communication skills. The driver is superb as well, good driving skill, safe and can escape traffic jam easily. He dropped us at our hotel fast and safely.

The nost glorious place on earth with the best tour guide!

Alexandros_K, Mar 2024

Yesterday we experienced the most glorious site in the world and we were so lucky hacing the best guide with us! Karam was the most relaxed guy I've ever met in my life, he made us feel so comfortable and made the sense of rushing to just disappear! We enjoyes every moment of our day by learning much about what we were seeing and adjusting the schedule to what we wanted! Karam was more like a good friend who organised everything rather than just a tour guide. Thank you very much!!

Egypt culture and traditions for first timers

Sergio_D, Mar 2024

The cultural experience and the historical facts that Fatima provided during the entire tour made the trip extremely valuable for my first time in Egypt. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and culture, it was very memorable!

Memorable!

John_S, Mar 2024

We absolutely had an amazing experience! Our tour guide Rasha was fluent in English and Spanish which was perfect since it helped with my mom understanding everything about the tour. The driver was also very professional, vehicle was clean and he was a safe driver. Rasha also took us to a rooftop restaurant that offer views of the pyramids and the food was fresh and delicious! I highly recommend booking this tour!

Brilliant experience

Eabha_F, Mar 2024

Fatima Mohamed was a fabulous tour guide. Her English was incredible and she was genuinely interested in making sure we had a brilliant day. We learned a lot from her and would highly recommend

What a perfect tour guide!

cajuvanuza, Mar 2024

Our tour guide, Mss Mana Atwa, was outstanding. She was a huge asset to our great experience in Cairo. She is extremely polite, very objective and explained great things about the locations, history and culture. The driver was also an outstanding person who added value to our experience. We were very lucky to have them guiding us. On top of this, Mana is also a great photographer. She was so kind taking photos of us all the time. The camel ride was awesome, the pyramids are amazing, the tour inside the museum was very objective and exciting. The walk around the bazzar was amazing. Wonderful experience. Thanks, Mana Atwa.

The tour and experience...

Maria_V, Mar 2024

The tour and experience were extraordinary; what made everything wonderful was our guide, a wonderful, warm woman with an incredible soul. Thank you Manar and also thank you to the driver for the great experience on Egypt!
