My friends and I spent just one day in Cairo and were recommended the tour with Moustafa. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!! Moustafa was super attentive and invested in showing us the best spots in such a short amount of time, while explaining the history behind every place, monument and artifact. Always with a big smile on his face! It was an intense day and we really made the most out of it thanks to Moustafa! So grateful, really recommend him :)

The day with Mustapha Mohsen was more than amazing! He is such a pedagogic and genuinely sympathetic person. He took the time to explain every detail with clarity and passion, making the history of Cairo come to life. We felt safe, well taken care of, and completely immersed thanks to his deep knowledge and his warm personality. He was incredibly attentive to our needs, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His kindness, professionalism, and sense of humor made this day not only informative but also truly enjoyable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — Mustapha Mohsen turned our visit into an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
It was a very nice full day tour from beginning to end. Ali was always friendly and the tour's agenda was very well organized. We enjoyed the visit to the Egyptian museum and also the visit to the pyramids, with the good knowledge from Ali about the history and related topics. The camel trip was awesome where we could take great pics, and finally the included local meal was yummy.
Really good! Ahni was really good guide. Never hurried us. Always ready to answer any questions and always has a smile on his face He's really passionate about ancient Egypt. The Egyptian restaurant is very good with all included buffet. We had a really nice time. Camel ride and Quad Bike were really cool. If you don't know how to ride well please tell them as it might be dangerous. I would recommend 100% to any of my friends or family.
Hany is hands down the best tour guide you could ever hope to work with! He gave a great tour with an extensive history lesson. He also helped make sure we didn't get caught in any scams and made sure we got good deals at all of the touristy spots. Highly recommend!
Hani was the best tour guide. We went to the pyramids, he gave us a great tour explaining the history of the pyramids, then we rode camels over to the sphinx nearby. We saw how papyrus was made and then we rode atvs/quads out to the desert. Many photo opps at all the places we went. Finally we got lunch at an Egyptian buffet. Great experience and would recommend!!
Awesome and easy! Very through and Hany and as a guide was awesome! Thank you! Very great experience. And would highly recommend.
Seeing the pyramids for the first time was amazing. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts along the way.
Hisham was AMAZING. He truly took the time to take all the fantastic pics he could of me while on this solo trip and made history come alive. I had a tour to Alexandria the day before that paled in comparison to the amazing food, unique experiences and laughs Hisham provided. I would refer everyone to this as a must not miss tour!
My favorite part of this experience was from the beginning to the end, my guide knew everything about the pyramids and history behind them, the camel ride was my all-time favorite.
Best guided excursion we have ever had! The tour started with our guide Fatema greeting us in person in our hotel. We quickly learned that she has her PhD in Egyptology and teaches at the University of Cairo. She asked us about our goals for the tour in order to meet expectations as well as took the time to get to know us. We started the tour at the Egyptian museum and she was extremely knowledgeable and really broke down the details of everything quite well. We even asked her what was written on a ancient door and she was able to read the Sanskrit writing on the door… super impressive! After the museum, we went to lunch and then headed to the pyramids, Sphinx and camel ride. Our guide was great and gave us the royal treatment. The chauffeur rode the camels with us while at the pyramids. The camel ride was a special touch that is not included in most tours, but is a must for the experience. We finished at the Sphinx and by now it was evening. Fatema (our guide) was so kind and even offered to accompany us to dinner. We were wiped out from a very full day and chose to go home. We had been on many excursions in our 15 days of travel and are frequent travelers. I can honestly say this company was the best tour I have ever experienced. We still keep in touch with Fatema and hope to see her again some day when we bring our kids. -David
Mabuhay Egypt grabe ang Saya ng experience, amazing people during the ancient times, we had a wonderful moments with my fiance at ang galing ng aming guide super nakakatuwa and we were lucky to have him (Mr. Hisham), Mabuhay Egypt! Mabuhay Tourist.
This tour was AMAZING Hisham was the best tour guide, knowledgeable and experienced, he guided us, with ease through the intriguing history of Cairo, the fantastic history of ancient Egypt at the Museum, papyrus and essence. It was an experience of a lifetime, the pyramids were exciting and awe inspiring, my fiancé especially loved the Golden Eagle Crystal essence demonstration. I would recommend this tour experience over and over.
We had a wonderful time on this tour. The camel ride around the pyramids was so much fun. I would recommend this tour. Thank you.
Hamza was great!!!!! My partner and I booked 2 trips with this company and we really enjoyed ourselves! Hamza was very informative and and he allowed us to flow at our own pace. Not only did he provide information about where we were going, he also provided additional information about Egypt in general and the culture. He stayed with my partner and I the entire time so we felt really safe. He even talked me into climbing down the pyramid after I tried to chicken out. Lol. I’m glad I went through with it! I would highly recommend booking with this company. The drivers were also great, as the traffic in Egypt can be verrrryyy hectic, unlike anything I have ever seen. I would also recommend doing your tours on Friday/Saturday as that is considered the “off day” and traffic is less heavy! The local restaurants he took us to were great! He also took us to a few other stores where we were able to buy things without being hassled! Overall, money well spent and we enjoyed ourselves!! Again, I would highly recommend booking with this company and ask for Hamza!!
Let me start off by saying the tour was AMAZING! All the way from the United States.. Our guide Hamza was truly fantastic! He was knowledgeable, friendly, clean, a gentleman and we he made us feel comfortable and safe! We got the BEST pictures!!! My friends and family were amazed by the pictures he took! Hamza and the tour company were so good that we purchased another package with them for the next day. Today we saw The Egyptian Museum with KingTut, Nefertiti, Ramses, tombs, and so much more! They took us too a restaurant with a panoramic view of the Pyramids and the Sphinx! Then he escorted us inside and we rode Camels!! Oh my God!! The pictures and videos they took were unbelievable!! There was no hidden cost. They covered everything from the food to the drinks and entry. We read countless reviews on every touring company and they were the best. We see why!! Hamza is a beautiful spirit. Very sharp and respectful. There’s no question he can’t answer, but he will probably tell you before you ask. Lol! He was on time and we forgot our tennis shoes and he said “don’t worry, take your time”. We had been up for a day traveling and hadn’t ate breakfast and he said, “go eat... I’ll wait. And he let us go to our hotels free breakfast. I can’t say anything bad. I’m very particular and only stay at the best places and like the best things, and this tour was the best!! You will be WOWED!! Thank you Hamza!! Thank you Egyptian Tours Excursions!! Thank you to the young guy who took those amazing pictures at the Giza Pyramids! Can’t wait for our tour tomorrow!!
I have spent a fantastic travel with my lovely friends all was good pyramids historical monument and of course food yummy very delicious. Do not hesitate to visit it.
The nice view of pyramids and Sphinx also the sound of air makes the good combination for this view lovely landmark
A special trip with friends, we had a lot of fun, seeing the sunset draining from there, and seeing the beautiful pyramids, how our grandparents built them.
The tour was very pleasant, the car was always air conditioned, and there was water available. The visit to the museum and the pyramids was very nice, educational and interesting. The camel ride was safe, with a trustworthy guide. Our personal guide was very friendly and attentive, we are especially grateful to Ali, our guide. The driver was also very professional and punctual. I recommend the tour: beautiful views and great photos.
It was an incredibly nice experience with our guide, Hishem from Cairo. He showed us the hidden beauties of Cairo, as well as the famous sights, and explained them in detail. Lunch on the Nile met all my expectations and I will certainly book the same guide again when I return to Egypt.
