Private Cairo And Pyramids Tour With An Egyptologist Guide

I had UTS Tours to plan a 4 days visit to Cairo, Giza, Sakhara and Memphis with my grandchildren. We were met at the airport and we were taken to the airport after our visit with utmost help and kindness. The full four days program was very, very well planned and everything worked out to our full satisfaction. We had a wonderful driver and a highly educated egyptologist to take us around the fantastic sites in and around Cairo. UTS Tours have helped me once before with a Lake Nasser cruise and also that trip was to our full satisfaction. I can truly recommend UTS Tours. Mogens Bastrup, Denmark

My experience with UTS Tours Egypt was fantastic from the very beginning. The attention to detail throughout the entire process, from our initial contact and payment to the execution of the tour, was impeccable. We felt fully taken care of and had no worries thanks to their excellent service. A special shout-out to our guide, Hassan, who was truly outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable, has a deep understanding of Egyptian history, and explains everything so well that it's easy to understand. On top of that, he was always attentive, remarkably helpful, and went above and beyond in every way. He truly excels at what he does. I highly recommend both the company and Hassan.

UTS was very reliable and honest with excellent communication. I compared them with other tour groups and found them to be the very best in both price and communication. Our guide: Ibrahim Khalid was FANTASTIC, so knowledgeable, kind and professional, we asked for him to also be our tour guide in Luxor and we recommend UTS and Ibrahim Khalid whole heartedly with no hesitation! Five stars all the way!

Monda Taha and our excellent tour guide Amash were extremely professional, friendly and provided us with a brilliant service. The whole trip felt very comfortable and safe. If you are searching for a trusted tour company for your Egypt I would highly recommend Egypt UTS tours.

United Tours organised such a seamless and wonderful tour of 5 days! We went through the wonders of the Giza pyramids, GEM, Fayoum Oasis, Alexandria, Saqqara and Dashur. Our guide Mohammed Amash was excellent! He was so passionate about his work, that even in the scorching heat, he got all of us so interested in learning and exploring the wonders of Egypt. His kindness, knowledge and his ability to adapt to any crowd really made him stand apart. The trip to Egypt would have not been so fun and meaningful if not for our wonderful guide Amash! Thank you for organising an incredible tour and giving us one of the best guides to have enjoyed this trip with! Yalla Habibi!

UTS planned the 15 day private trip for us, and we had an amazing two weeks. From our private driver and wonderful personal guide, Tali, we had a seamless and stress free trip. I was worried how it would be traveling this time with our six-year old, but Egyptians love kids, and she did great. Highlights for her were all the kittens in the temples and riding a camel. The owner, Hamdan, of UTS I've known for more than 20 years, and my fourth time traveling to Egypt thanks to his company's help. Couldn't ask for a better person to plan just what you're wanting. Shukran to Hamdan, Tali, and Abdelrahman for making our trip so special.

Mr. Walid was a fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable. He was able to explain the history of all the temples, and the background of the kings and queens. He took us to really nice shops, based on what we were wanting to buy. We will definitely be using him as a tour guide in the future. (Also he knows all the secret photo spots) thanks Mr Walid!!!!

I had a great trip, I learned a lot about the country saw how beautiful it was along the way. The real help was our tour guide, Yousssef Fathy and his partner Mohab Taha. They really made the trip a great experience, they explained anything we had questions about and had a wealth of knowledge about the countries history and culture, and they are more than willing to accommodate specific handicapped needs, thanks to Monda Taha for booking us such a great team!

UTS did an amazing job in planning our trip. Monda Taha @ UTS was amazing. He was quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. We did 9 days. 4 Cairo and 5 Nile cruise on Tia boat. Awsome private tour guides Yossef Fathy and Mohab Taha. Airport liaison Tamer Momtaz. I highly recommend UTS we were very happy!

Excellent in all respects. Wonderful attention to detail, fully committed to ensuring that our group as their customers have an enjoyable and interesting experience they had planned. We fill very lucky to have selected UTS for our 12 day comprehensive Egyptian program including 4 day Nile Cruise Phil and Anna Watson Tasmania Australia

We recently had a short but truly memorable trip to Cairo from 14–16 August, organized by Egypt United Tours & Travel (UTS). From the very beginning, everything was perfectly arranged — starting with smooth on-arrival visa processing by the UTS staff, followed by excellent hotel accommodation, meals, comfortable transportation, and a well-planned tour of different sites. Special thanks to Monda Taha, the Senior Tour Operator, whose professionalism, attention to detail, and constant follow-up made sure every part of our journey was seamless and exactly as agreed before. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. We were also extremely fortunate to have Ahmed Nashaat as our tour guide. He is not only very fluent in English but also a truly knowledgeable guide with a deep understanding of Egyptian history and culture. His ability to bring ancient stories to life, combined with his patience in answering all our queries, made every visit meaningful and enjoyable. Ahmed’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times. In short, my wife and I had a splendid tour from arrival to departure and never once felt like strangers in an unknown place. Both Monda and Ahmed treated us not just as clients, but as friends, which made our trip all the more special. We would definitely recommend Egypt United Tours & Travel (UTS) to our family and friends, and we look forward to traveling with them again in the future.

I had an amazing experience visiting the pyramids and the Egyptian museum with UTS Tours. The professionalism and kindness of the entire team from Asma (agency staff) to Sherif (the guide), and the driver made the experience truly memorable. Sherif is knowledgeable, friendly and outstanding, explaining everything clearly and the driver was careful and punctual. I also went to the Papyrus gallery and perfume and essential oils store. Choosing this agency was an excellent decision. I highly recommend their services for anyone wanting a smooth and exceptional tour in Egypt!

Truly incredible! Sherif did an amazing job of making Egypt feel like home. He explained everything, really helping the stories come to life. He gave us a great tour of the city, tips on the markets, and made sure we left temples with a full understanding of the history. We were in great hands! Sherif made our trip and I will recommend him to anyone coming to Egypt

I did a group trip with 3 friends for 4 days down the Nile and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. Sherif specifically was the PERFECT guide - he is hilarious, incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help us with anything. I'm seriously going to refer all of my friends coming to Egypt to pick him as a guide because he is truly outstanding.

We had a great time. I must say it was one of my best holidays. Sherif Salwat, our tour guide was friendly, jovial, informative and knowledgeable on the history and background of the various sites he took us to visit. He was punctual and polite. I would recommend his services to all who wish to visit Egypt and undertake the Nile cruise

We just finished our 5 day tour from Luxor to Aswan with Sherif. We were so grateful to have Sherif as our guide - he made the trip so much fun and taught us a lot about ancient Egyptian history, making sure we saw all the important designs and understood the meaning. We could truly not have asked for a better guide than Sherif!

Sherif is the BEST guide one can ask for! He is extremely knowledgeable about Egypt, so friendly, and downright hilarious! His English is phenomenal and apparently so is his Chinese. The amount of detail he goes into is incredible and his passion for history is so palpable in the way he speaks and how updated he is with recent events. No question is too small for him, he is always punctual, and also matches the groups pace and energy very well! Will definitely miss him and will contact him when I’m back with my family!

Sharif was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what we were seeing along the nile and all of the temples. He would help plan out our day and if we made any suggestions he was more than willing to accommodate us. His English is very good and always willing to repeat prior facts that we had gone over. Most importantly he made the trip fun!

Once in a life time experience made all the better by a true expert archeologist. If you can make a request for a guide, you could not do any better than Sherif Safwat. He made this an unforgettable awesome experience.

Very knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Ours inclduded the pyramids at Saqqara necropolis and Giza, Sphinx, Cairo citadel and the mosque, & Alexandria. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Egypt as flexible and will customise as needed.

AMAZING!!! Sherif was amazing!! His knowledge and personality made the trip AMAZING! He gave us so many unique and amazing details on every stop. He gave us details and directions to make every stop easy to understand and always with a smile! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHERIF FOR YOUR. EXT TRIP AND ASK FOR HIM BY NAME!!!

This was the most amazing experience I have ever had!! Our guide Sherriff was the most knowledgeable, experienced, and respectful tour guide. Will definitely recommend him to everyone when I talk about this trip!! I gained so much knowledge about the history of Egypt that I will be able to share with friends and family.

Amazing 4 day tour with Sherif! We went with our children and he made sure they were safe, smiling and having a good time. Sherif treated us like family, we were so grateful for his kindness and vast knowledge! He also hired an outstanding driver. The car was clean, always ready for us. The driver was very knowledgeable about the roads. Most importantly our private tour was flexible and custom made to fit what we wanted to do. This made the trip magical! We highly recommend him and his company for your next tour to Egypt!

My trip to Luxor was excellent and smooth. From the airport pick up to the drop off, everything was taken care of. The guide was helpful and knowledgeable. They add a few details in the tours that are exciting and different from what youd expect. I would definitely recommend you go with them if you’re traveling to Luxor.

We went to Saqqara pyramids, the great pyramid, the citadel, mosque, egyptian museum in cairo and alexandria with Sherif. The trip were so much fun. Sherif is very knowledgable on ancient egyptian history.Would definitely recommend!

Joyful bus ride, quick and easy with Sherif who is very knowledgeable and very helpful. If I come again I will definitely ask for Sherif

It was a great trip full of fun and joy. The tour guide Sherif was awesome, very knowledgeable very helpful and very funny.

Sharif was a great tour leader, who is loaded with lots of knowledge, great sense of humor, plenty of passion for his job! We had a great time and learned a lot about this great country

Sherif was an amazing tourguide with a great sense of humor and really interesting facts and knowledge about ancient Egypt. Definitely recommend

Ahmed & Mohab, & Tamer were amazing! They were everything we needed to make our trip to Cairo the best! If you want a smooth & beautiful experience in Cairo, look no further!

Really great two day excursions program led bij Sherif through Cairo and Gizeh. Besides being a great entertainer Sherif is also really knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and history of Cairo with great respect for all religions. Best tourleader I have ever met in my Life!

Sherif tought me more about ancient egypt in 2 days than I learned at school in 7 years, also very enthusiastic and funny!

The best tour guide ever Sherif safwat we had to much fun with him And we planned to come again soon and we recommend him for all of the groups

From the moment we landed in Cairo, Egypt UTS tours delivered an unforgettable Egyptian adventure. We booked the tour for 8 days, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our knowledgeable guide, Ahmed Nashaat, brought the ancient world to life with fascinating stories and insights. The highlights were undoubtedly Abu Simbel, Luxor, Karnak and the 3 museums in Cairo. The Nile cruise was another wonderful experience. The accommodations were top notch, including the food esp given we were vegetarians. The logistics were seamless, and we felt well-cared for throughout the trip. Both my husband and I thought this tour company provided exceptional service. If you're looking for an authentic and immersive Egyptian experience, look no further.

This has been a dream trip for me since 2 years ago when I saw a post on my facebook group speaking so highly of this company . I showed it to my husband and asked that we go for the exact same tour . We did a 7 day guided package tour . Going to Egypt was something I was excited about yet also a little bit scared because of the conflicting reviews I read online . So we made sure to go with a tour company and I’m awfully glad we did ! EGYPT UNITED TOUR went above and beyond our expectations ! I highly recommend this company! They are truly amazing! Starting from the airport , we were met by Tamer ( their airport company staff ) who was so friendly, helpful and efficient! Right on our first hour , I felt safe because of the outstanding service he has shown. We flew from Cairo to Aswan on our first day to start our tour with a 4 day and 3 night cruise on the Nile River . There we met our awesome tour guide and expert Egyptologist AMR MANSY . I couldn’t be more grateful that he was our assigned guide for 7 days ! AMR was knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, passionate and delivered great service ! He was a good communicator and answered all my questions about Egypt’s history ! I loved that everywhere we went , he seems to be known by everyone! I told him he could be a town mayor as he is friends with everyone , everywhere we went . So that added to the feeling of safety that we are with him . I highly recommend this company as you will truly be looked after ! Safety and comfort is their top priority ! Our trip was perfect from day 1 til the day we left l. I believe part of what made our trip great was going with this company - the way everything was planned and laid out , having great staff like AMR, TAMER and MONDA made our Egyptian tour experience nothing short of amazing !!!! Thank you very much EGYPT UNITED TOUR !

Great trip to the pyramids with guide Ahmed Nashaat. The personal attention on the private tour was great. Went inside the great pyramid, which is not for the claustrophobic, but was worth it. The new museum is beautiful even half open, it will be worth a return trip when Tut joins the show.

Oh my what a wonderful 10 days we had touring around Cairo,Giza,Thebes and a four night mile cruise seeing all the ancient Egyptian sites. Egypt United tours were so easy to work with and organised everything for our Egyptian holiday from getting through the airport to checking into your accommodation so hassle free. It was only our family with our own fabulous driver Kareem who was amazing and of course our own specialised Egyptologist tour guide Amr who went above and beyond. Amr was so passionate about his country’s history, culture and is a very special human being and I would definitely recommend Egypt United tours to help plan your next Egyptian trip. I know there is issues in the Middle East at present but it seriously didn’t impact Egypt at all and we never felt unsafe go see what Egypt has to offer you’ll be amazed.

We embarked on a 10-day private tour of Egypt with Sherif Safwat, and it was an absolute delight. As a group of 18 seasoned travelers, we had high expectations, and Sherif exceeded them in every way. His passion for ancient Egyptian history is contagious, and he effortlessly weaves captivating stories about the pharaohs, temples, and pyramids. We felt like we were living in the past as he animatedly described the mysteries of Luxor and Cairo. Sherif isn’t just a guide; he’s a friend you wish you had. His warm demeanor and genuine care for our experience made us feel welcome. He skillfully navigated us through crowded sites, ensuring we didn’t miss any hidden gems. His insider tips were invaluable! We left with memories etched in our hearts and a newfound love for this remarkable country. We even adopted his favorite saying: "Yalla yalla". If you’re visiting Egypt, Sherif Safwat is the guide you want by your side. Thank you, Sherif, for an unforgettable journey

I led a group of 7 solo travellers to Egypt in April 2024. We had were fortunate to have Sherif Safwat as our guide for 6 days in Southern (lower) Egypt. He really went above and beyond to bring Egypt to life for us. He was one of the best guides I have had. I would highly recommend Sherif and will definitely use him again on future visits to Egypt.

Sherif is an absolutely amazing guide. His knowledge and charisma make it feel like you are living each historical location! And the tour is probably the most incredible sights anyone can see anywhere in the world!

Everyone from Egypt United Tours was courteous and helpful but meeting our tour guide Sherif Safwat made our holiday amazing. He was friendly and welcoming with a great personality and extensive knowledge of Ancient Egypt which he explained without making it boring. Not only did we see the usual sights and Cairo but we got to experience a little of the local life too. As we were on a private tour Sherif would make stop along the way so we could sample some of the local delicacies and of course Turkish coffee. We are planning on going back when the new Museum is fully opened and we have requested Sherif be our tour guide again. We are looking forward to spending another holiday with Sherif Safwat.

Doing any of the locations in Egypt with Sherif Safwat was an excellent experience (and we did many over many days). His ebullient demeanor added to his deep knowledge of these spectacular sights makes him an excellent storyteller who takes to back 5000 years un experiencing the wonders of Egypt. He was also excellent at engaging my kids ensuring we had a happy family vacation.

Our trip in September to Cairo included city tours and Pyramids and a multi day Nile cruise was amazing with Sharif! I have traveled the world and can honestly say Sharif is the best tour guide I have ever had! His knowledge is incredible and his personality and professionalism shine through to make his tours top notch 👌

After spending 2 weeks in Egypt in Cairo and on a 4 night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan as a world traveller I have never experienced such a professional, informative, educational and caring company as UTS tours service. The CEO Hamad Fathy looked after our every need. In doing that he gave us what we felt was his best guide in Sherif Safwat. We were travelling wirh a group of world travellers and his knowledge of the historical and ancient history was unlimited, but he was smart to keep us interested without overwhelming us with too much details. When our flight was delayed we experenced a first for us in travel . Our flight was delayed from Awsan to Cairo which meant part of our tour day in Cairo had to be adjusted. Because we all wanted to visit the museum Sherif cancelled our market tour and lunch. When we arrived in Cairo on our hour drive to the museum we stopped on a street corner where bags of hot fresh shawarma sandwiches were delivered for us to have lunch on our way to the museum. Not only a first but it was,delicious and a great solution for something beyond their countrol. Leaving this wonderful ancient country I left with a handful of business cards to pass on to my fellow Canadians so they too can enjoy the treasures of Egypt with the best guide Sherif Safwat.

Trip of a lifetime .Egypt United tours were fabulous they completely organized our trip .we met our guide Sherif Safwat.and immediately felt we had known him for ages .very personable and being from Cairo he knew every thing about the history of Egypt .we did the Cairo tour as part of a longer trip down the Nile. Sherif answered all our questions and more Nothing was too much trouble for him. We felt like was part of the family .We intend to go back when the new museum opens and have already requested him to be our guide this time we hope see the things we missed out this time.We have already told our friends if they go to Egypt to contact Egypt United and request Sherif

A rather delayed review, but better late than never. Last October 2023 our group of 12 made an 8-day tour of Egypt with Sherif Safwat as our tour guide, assisted by Monda, and we appreciate and value the high quality of his service. Not only was Sherif very knowledgeable about the history of ancient Egypt but he was also able to gauge the aspects and levels of interest of the group members so as to convey the information effectively and with a good sense of humour. To ensure our smooth progres from one destination to another, Sherif would send Monda ahead to arrange the transportation and ticketing logistics. When we encountered delay in the departure of our Nile river cruise from Aswan, Sherif deftly assisted our accompanying tour leader in making prompt alternative transportation arrangements to minimize time lost due to the delay and ensure that we did not miss out on the important sight-seeing destinations on our tour program. I commend Sherif as a responsible guide who goes all the way to make foreign visitors at home and truly enjoy Egypt.

Sherif is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about Ancient Egypt through him. He has a great personality too and made the trip fun and enjoyable!

Sheriff Safawat was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and went out of the way to help us. We had an amazing experience.

Tour in Egypt, compliments to Angela, a very good, efficient, and very knowledgeable guide.
