We had an amazing experience exploring the Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum with our guide, Karam. With more than 20 years of experience, his knowledge of Egypt’s history was truly impressive, and he explained everything in perfect English. He was always punctual, courteous, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. His passion for sharing Egypt’s history and culture made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend Karam to anyone visiting Cairo—he truly made our trip special.

When I say this tour exceeded my expectations, it is coming from a little girl that dreamed of becoming an archeologist and visiting Egypt, so believe me when I say, this experience was beyond amazing! Manal, our tour guide truly made us feel welcomed to Cairo and was so open to sharing details about the culture and beautiful history of the city. Being a tour guide is not only spitting facts. It’s making others fall in love with the place you are sharing and she made us feel exactly that. Additional to this, she’s an amazing photographer who knows the best spots for pics. Definitely worth booking a tour with her!!
After our flight was delayed by an entire day, I booked this sightseeing tour to squeeze into one day everything I had planned over two days. Communication via WhatsApp before the tour was great. The guide and driver arrived on time and provided good detail on our planned day. They also allowed us to stay longer or move on at a particular site when we so desired. The tour was great, well-organized, and informative. If you have only one day to see the major sights in Cairo, this is definitely a great way to go. Thank you, Mimo for a great tour.
Karam was an amazing guide! If you are looking for a packed full day tour with a very historically educated local, then look no further. We first stopped at the pyramids and sphinx where he made sure we were first in so you can get pictures without thousands of people in the foreground. He knows all of the locals and seems to have a great relationship with them and his country. (I’m pretty sure he knew every building, when it was built and why). He was very easy to talk to and comfortable to be around, knows the best local spots for food and gives you the best insight of where to go and what objects are authentic. I wish I booked him for my other tours because he has been significantly better than my other tour guides 5/5 stars!
My wife and I had an amazing day with Eslam. Another recent reviewer praised him for being "knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and [he] taught us a lot about Egyptian culture and Muslim culture. Every stop was just the right amount of time." I would second all of that. In addition, he knew the RIGHT time to visit things, so we spent little time waiting in line. We had excellent guides all week, but my wife and I agreed he was our very favorite. We wrapped up the day by enjoying lunch and coffee together at two excellent spots (which we would not have found on our own). By that point we felt like we were chatting comfortably with a new friend with whom we'll remain in contact.
Gouda was amazing! did the trip with wife and my four kids and kept the kids engaged and having a great time all day. he was very very knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and accommodating. i would highly recommend gouda. everything fr the van to the lunch to everything was first class. kids had nickname him for the by end and were calling him mr cheese. great great day in egypt.
We had an incredible day visiting the pyramids and touring Cairo with our guide Imran who was helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. Cannot recommend highly enough!
This is the only way to see Cairo. I have been here twice and this tour was definitely the best. We saw so much in two days but the our guide made it extremely enjoyable and was able to accommodate all of our requests.
We had the most amazing day. Gouda was an incredible guide who tailored the experience for us. We had a full day layover with a late flight and they were able to add a beautiful dinner cruise. It was a highlight of our trip.
Had a really great time today with Ismail our guide and our driver Mohamed. It was an excellent tour, perfect pace for the kids and everything was well organized and very safe. Ismail was very knowledgeable about the history and was great with the kids. He also gave us ample free time to enjoy a bit of time with just the family. Mohamed was a great driver even if the toughest of traffic situations. A great day with lots of amazing memories that we will cherish for many years to come. Thank you!
A great introduction to the incredible city of Cairo in two days, incorporating all of the highlights at a comfortable pace. Mimo and Zimo were an excellent duo guiding us through this metropolis. Mimo is an Egyptologist with extensive knowledge of the history of this great nation, and provided us with an in-depth account of all of the sights we were seeing. We felt safe in the hands of our driver, Zimo, who navigated his way through this chaotic city with great caution and expertise. An excellent two day tour that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Cairo!
We only had two days in Cairo and this tour made sure that we maximized those two days. Mimo, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge was thorough without being overwhelming and he allowed us as much time we wanted at each site. Our driver Osam was an expert at maneuvering through the dense Cairo traffic, which was an absolute must-have. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to maximize their Cairo experience.
Our tour guide, Mimo, was exceptional. He made our excursions perfect and made sure that we were satisfied with everything that we did.
Firstly i want to thank to Sherif and his driver for this special day. We had a wonderful tour: - Hotel Pick-up - Pyramids - Lunch - Nile Tour - Airport drop off It was so amazing and i can recommend it totaly and i will come back for sure :)
Fantastic tour of the Pyramids and Sphinx, a camel ride, and a trip to a papyrus gallery. Our tour guide, Mimo, was wonderful. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the region. We felt so safe and cared for.
If you want to enjoy a packed day of exploring the city, this is the way to go. Zainab is a knowledgeable woman, and was efficient with our time so we could do as much as possible. We started out the day with the pyramids (we paid 100 pounds to enter the 2nd pyramid). Following the pyramids we made three stops at the perfume shop, papyrus shop, and the jewelry shop. I’d definitely recommend the perfume shop (extremely educational). The demonstration at the papyrus shop was well presented. Next was a tasty lunch. Price included in the tour. The Egyptian museum wouldn’t have been as interesting if we hadn’t had a tour guide to point out the important parts. The bazaar was a great place to get souvenirs, and our guide was helpful in showing us more affordable shops. I’d rate this tour with 6 stars!
We only had one day to see the sights of Cairo. Zaned, our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Zaneb gave us all of the time that we needed at each sight to take photos and soak in the experience. We could not have seen so many sights if we had tried to do it on our own. This tour exceded our expectations.
<p>Great tour guide. We got to see so many sites in one day. I felt completely safe at all times. Also, Zinab, our tour guide, was amazing!</p>
<p>Mohamed was a very knowledgeable guide who took great care to ensure we felt safe and in good hands at all times. Mohamed tailored our tour to suit our interests, extending our time at the Museum and the pyramids. Even though we don't usually use guides when we travel, Cairo is one place where it is invaluable to have a guide and driver to get the most from your holiday and we would have no hesitation in recommending Mohamed to anyone visiting this fascinating city!</p>
<p>Cairo and Giza are very rich in history your programme is rich but condensed and useful thanks</p> <p>Egypt is the best to see the changes in history and civilizations throughout the centuries and on contrary </p> <p>Of what I was thinking very safe and really very nice and welcoming people</p>
<p>A fabulous guide Bassam. He showed us everything and always looked after us. We also used him on another day to take us to Alexandria. I would recommend that people ask for him specifically as he was the best guide that we have had.</p>
We went with the guide Manal, the best guide in the world. Very friendly and pleasant. He showed us everything great and spoke Spanish very well.
Inclinable experience. Fantastic guide. Experienced driver. The restaurant was good and the shops we visited were welcoming.
We spent 2 days with Nour, our guide, and Mohammed our driver. Thanks to them for everything. Nour is a resourceful guide and has marvelled at the history of Egypt. Thank you for sharing with us. He was very accommodating and kind. We felt safe with them. We really recommend this tour. Thanks again to them for everything, we leave full of stars in the eyes.
My guide is Sherif, a local, but he speaks slippery Chinese and has the patience to explain Egypt's history and culture to us enthusiastically on a hot day and to avoid a lot of thunder. The driver, Belal, was also very punctual and came to pick us up at 7.30am. The whole journey took about seven to eight hours. Personally, I find it highly recommended because Egyptian history and culture are very unique. Having a very experienced guide will definitely help you understand Egypt better.
