It was a very safe trip because of mr Fahmy. He knew every best spot en a lot of short cuts so we never had to wait for something. Very well organized!

Marvel at the last existing wonder of the world - a fabulous experience! Ride a camel around the pyramids and step onto the ground that the ancient Egyptians walked on thousands of years ago. At the end of the trip you might visit a perfume factory or a papyrus factory, depending on the time left.
If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East. Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.
If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory. These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques for producing papyrus and essences. These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be useful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
Afterwards, your mind needs some rest. You can, for example, relax with a boat trip on the Nile and discover Cairo from the water.

We had the best time exploring thr Pyramids, Cairo and all of its delights. Fahme, our guide was just AMAZING, as was our driver. Fahme, was not only very knowledegable but passionte, he made our day thoroughly fabulous. I would highly recommend this excoursion, what a fantastic day we had.
full day Cairo experience. intensive bit worth it. fahmi was great. very knowledgeable and helpful. kids enjoyed it also.
Fantastic experience, a full on day but worth every second of it! Our guide Fahmi and our driver made us feel safe and gave us a great insight into the history of Egypt. The food was amazing and catered for vegan diet. Excellent experience!!
Really enjoyed the experience. Both driver, security guard and guide were great. Especially the security guard who helped and stayed with me when I slipped on rocks by the pyramids. He gave my wife and I comfort and confidence. Would have been 5 stars but did not enjoy the multiple sales stops after the pyramids. Thought we were rushed too much at the pyramids. Management did good job arranging everything from pick up, tickets etc
Great all round day got to see everything and didn’t feel too rushed!! Highly recommended. One of the best days of my life!! Guide was great very nice happy and helpful
extremely well organised, had the best day seeing the wonderful pyramids and other sites our tour guide for the trip was excellent anyone looking to go to the pyramids should book with this tour group
We had such a good experience with our tour. Everything ran smoothly and our tour guide worked very hard to make sure we had a great day. He was very knowledgeable and shared information for each site and experience. We are two adults but there were families with kids in our group, and our guide was great with the kids, too - made sure they were included and engaged with them in a positive manner. I was skeptical about doing a round trip flight to Cairo from HRG, but it was so easy and I'm so glad we got to see Cairo
We were happy with the trip. It was long and exhausting but we covered all we wanted, had enough time, and it was comfortable. The guide and driver were both very nice and adapted to our preferences. The group was small.
Its was amazing. Excellent tour, very well organized. Every recomendation for Book Trip agency and this trip to Kairo.
Everything went very well. Thank you to the tour guides for the unforgettable experiences. Correct enough information, comfortable minibus, continuous cold drinking water 5*
A very long day, but very rewarding. Guide was excellent and took us see the things we wanted to see. Everything was organised perfectly
Excellent day out, guide was very knowledgeable and even added a trip to the souk as the flight was late. Took a camel to the pyramids
It's a long day and can feel a bit rushed, though we did manage to see everything we wanted to. Glad we paid for flights, wouldn't want to do this on a coach tour.
Great day. Would definitely recommend Book Tour Egypt. Was amazing to see the Pyramids and Sphinx as well as visiting the Egyptian Museum and going on the Nile trip. Everything ran smoothly from the early pick up from our hotel to the pick up from the airport at the end of the trip. Great communication from Rana at Book Tour Egypt who even messaged me whilst on the trip to make sure everything was going well. Our guide Fahme, was brilliant and has an excellent knowledge of Egyptian history. We had a great group with us and we all got on well and had a laugh. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. Brilliant.
Splendid experience. Pick up time was communicated to me a day before as already stated while booking the activity. Pick up came as scheduled, flight to Cairo and back to hurghada was brilliant. The tour guide was waiting to collect us at the airport in Cairo. Fahme was a good guide, teaching us about ancient Egyptian history. We had to explore old Cairo. Indeed it was a fully packed day! Highly recommend this activity
Amazing trip to Cairo. Well worth getting the flight as otherwise 7 hour there and back bu toad!! Early pick up of 0230 and not bavk till 10pm. Get a lunchbox from your hotel as lunch us included which was really good but its handy for snack times. We went to a papyrus shop and a perfume shop. You dont have to buy anything its not overly pushy. We didnt buy and werent made to feel bad. It was interesting visiting them but they werent mentioned on the tour. Going in a small group was great as it was easy to gather everyone back from stops. Wiuld highly recommend
The tour was amazing. The agency takes great care of the details, everything is sent the day before: information, airline tickets, contact numbers. No delays, no rush. Our guide Khaled is wonderful, he anticipates everybody's wishes, he has a sense of humour, his English is good, so you can understand everything. He showed us all the sights and more during the day. Thank you very much for a wonderful day. I recommend for everyone this tour who wants to spend in small group with professional guide and see the historical places without hurry and stress.
Mario was great. Service was exceptional! Pickup and dropoff were punctual. Lunch was good. Communication was great as well Thank you!
From start to finish this trip was wonderful.... everything running like clockwork from the hotel uplift early in the morning till the drop off back to the hotel later in the evening. The Pyramids/ Sphinx were spectacular as was the museum and the sail down the Nile (with a lunch in the middle). Our guide, Ahmed was such a lovely man who knew the subject matter inside out.... he wasn't only a guide, but was very much 'part of the group' and obviously thrives in his role, really enhancing our already incredible experience. A trip not to be missed if you've never been before.
Amazing day, everything ran smoothly. We got to see wonders of the world, feeling safe and well looked after Highly recommend this day trip
This was a really well organised trip. The company kept in touch to ensure the plane trip was easy and hassle free. We were met by a guide and driver in Cairo. The trip itself was amazing, all stops were fantastic and our guide 'Fahme' was so knowledgeable and knew all the best places for taking pictures. The Nile trip was an optional extra, well worth the 10 euros. I would not hesitate in using Book Tour Egypt in the future, messages are answered promptly and trips are great value for money.
Fantastically well organised tour! From booking a couple of months ago to the actual day the communication was excellent. Communicated via what’s app which was perfect as I had a eSIM. All instructions ie check in at airport and pick up times clearly communicated. Support even at 230am ! At each step we knew where to be and who was taking care of us . The tour guide Fame ( not sure of spelling apologies) as knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We didn’t feel rushed at all at any stage. He took fantastic pictures all day. Also a very well known guide in all attractions which meant many of the sellers didn’t bother us all day, but we were also able to buy whatever we wanted without pressure. We were delayed by the airline ( nothing to do with tour of course) however our driver was still waiting for us and offered to take us for food as he realised our hotel restaurant would be closed . All in all a fantastic tour and would highly recommend!
This was a wonderfully well organised trip. Our guide Fahmi was really good and gave us a really good version of the ‘program’ with lots of laughs. Everything went so smoothly and we packed so much in to the day. The coach was new and had aircon and plenty space for all. I wish we didn’t have to do the shopping bits but I realise this is how the world works. Book tours made sure everything was organised and ran smoothly.
Had a wonderful trip to Ciro. It’s a really long day but definitely worth it. Seeing the amazing pyramids and all that goes with it is not to be missed. Our guide fahmi was full of facts and very informative on all aspects of the journey. The lunch was ok but could have missed out on the shopping aspect of it. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend:)
A long day but worth it, mainly due to our excellent guide Ahmed Hassan and our driver who made our time in Cairo so special. Ahmed is a brilliant guide, organised and flexible to suit the needs of the group, as the day progressed. He has a true passion for his job and this came out with his vast knowledge of all things Egyptian! We saw everything as promised and spent more time at the pyramids as people wanted to do many activities. I especially enjoyed his "Highlights tour" at the museum. We saw the best of everything with his accompanying commentary . At the end of the day he organised a dinner cruise for the 5 of us who had a very late return flight, so we were entertained and not sitting in the airport for hours. Both Ahmed and driver were very kind to me as I was not as mobile as the others in the group. They couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks to both for a great day.
Absolutely brilliant, from the pyramids (where we were the first ones in the whole complex to gain access) to the camel rides up to the panoramic viewpoint. This was a must do. Unfortunately due to illness we had to cut our trip short at lunchtime but Fahmi and our minibus driver were amazing in helping out organising an earlier flight home and transport to the airport back to Hurgarda, nothing was too much trouble. It was very much appreciated and probably saved our whole holiday so thank you for that
Amazing experience a must do when in Egypt!!! Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Our guide farmhi was excellent with all his knowledge about Egypt. Our pick up went smooth and drop off. Our trip was well organised by a what's app group which was great for any queries we had or questions. After a long day out farmhi bought us all ice creams too. I would highly recommend this tour specially with this company. Thank you book tour Egypt.
Well organised tours. Kept in touch via WhatsApp with pickup times and when there was a change. Used them twice while we were away, both times fine
Absolutely fantastic highly recommended. The tour guide is passionate and knowledgeable. Would do it again. It's worth every penny booking a tour and the flights and pick ups went very smoothly
This trip was brilliant, our guide fahmi and driver were brilliant from start to finish. We had a great group and had fun throughout the day. The plane journey ran like clockwork. It was a long day but well worth it. I would definitely recommend flying.
Had a wonderful time on this trip. Everything was seamless. Guide was awesome. All in all amazing. Would highly recommend
What an incredible day! My partner and I visited Cairo for the day by plane from Hurghada. The pick up and transfer to the airport and back was so easy and the flight was quick and relaxed. We visited the museum, learned how papyrus is made, visited the pyramids and even got to go inside. We also visited a bedouine family to sample perfumes and natural remedies before relaxing on the Nile. The full day was amazing! Our guide was so knowledgeable, cheerful and kind. I'd recommend this trip to everyone 😁🥰
If you go to Egypt you must see the Cairo pyramids and visit the Egyptian Museum. In August it’s blisteringly hot so flying from the coastal resorts is the best way to get there if you don’t want to exhaust yourself and your party. The flights are fast and comfortable and the transfers are pretty quick too. The trip was everything I hoped for, my kids (13 and 19) and I loved it and the whole experience was managed so well by our tour guide Ahmed who was our Egyptologist and entertainer for 12 straight hours, God bless him for his knowledge, energy and enthusiasm. A big thank you to Ahmed and the Book Tour Egypt team. I give this excursion my highest recommendation.
Best organization ever!!! Strating from the minibus, to drivers, to our amazing kind proffesional tourguide ! I RECOMMEND!
Great experience with Book Tour Egypt Well looked after by our Tour guide from pick up to drop off. Tour guides go above and beyond to make your trip memorable.
Very well organised day with early hotel pick up for flight to Cairo. Seamless meet and greet in Cairo arrivals. Pros include the knowledgeable and engaging guide, the museum visit and the Nile trip (extra £€10 per person is worth it). The only thing I didn’t like was the people running the camel walks from the pyramids (also £€10 per person and not part of the tour but organised on request)… the camel walk out to the sahara view of all the pyramids is a great idea (and the view is amazing) but the guys running the camels are pushy for extra money and don’t seem to care for the animals. They push you to take free gifts “for luck” and then won’t leave you alone. Keep the kids away from them! Aside from this though, the trip and sights were amazing. Definitely preferable to the one day drive up/back alternative. Would recommend.
A very great trip with the travel guide Husein. The program is well structured, so that you can manage all of them even in great summer heat. Husein explained everything great and sometimes commented with humor. It never got boring. In addition, you could discuss special requests with him. The photo ideas of him: unique. A highly recommended trip and a great price-quality ratio. Highly recommended and we will not forget the day.
The whole trip was extremely well organised and professional from start to finish. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and made the trip feel exclusive the whole time. The day was long but worth every second from the flights, trip to the museum which your guide takes you around, some pit stops to a couple of local shops and of course the pyramids. It is worth paying for the camel ride on the pyramids for the additional photos and also the cruise on the Nile as great ticks off the bucket list. I couldn’t recommend enough.
Wonderful trip to Cairo from Hurghada. We booked the trip online, the communication was via WhatsApp. Everything was very well orginized. Our guide Ahmed was top! I would have spent more time in the museum instead of the obligatory sales event though.
Epic trip always wanted to see pyramids, finally did it and wasn’t disappointed! The excursion was very well organised and very interesting, we saw so many things. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us taking so many pics I would highly recommend this tour, 5 stars from me!
In my opinion, the trip to Cairo was just excellent, we booked online, for one day by plane. Everything was just perfect, we were picked up at the hotel on time. The guide was funny and he gave everyone a good mood on the trip by making jokes, and telling us stories about the history of Egypt. The trip is worth every single penny. Though the price was better than by the other tour operators. We loved it and recommend it with all my heart.
Me and my wife booked the Cairo day trip with this company. EXCEPTIONAL day trip. The whole experience went very smoothly, driver picked us up at hotel, taken to airport, soon as we arrived at Cairo Mr Fahme and driver awaited us with a very nice welcome. The whole day was unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Mr Fahme is very very knowledgeable about all of Egyptian history and took his time to explain the historical facts. He also speaks many languages and his English is perfect and very easy to understand. This was an excellent day trip and would highly recommend.
The trip to Cairo from Hurghada was an unforgettable experience. Sensational contact practically at any time with the organizer, current logistics information and a good organization allowed us to focus, enjoy and admire unforgettable places. The pyramids of Giza are unique and exciting there is no other such place. The guide was very helpful and we had a super contact directly. He was able to explain and tell everything. Egyptian museum, perfume factory, boat trip on the Nile are additional attractions of the trip. We also found time to visit a local cafe and a short walk around Cairo.
Because the cost for a private tour with the flights to/from Hurghada was so much less than other companies, I was very scared that it was an example of something being too good to be true, but after much research and correspondence, I took the chance & booked the 1 day tour to Cairo. I am so glad that I did! Although there was some confusion and the representative was not at the airport when we initially arrived in Hurghada to finalize the payment & provide us our vouchers, they did come to our resort just a few hours later. On the day of our tour, I could not have asked for a better experience. Sarwat was a fountain of knowledge and seemed to know everyone everywhere we went. He did a great job of explaining sites to us, but also giving us some time to experience it on our own. Mahmoud El Masry was our driver and was really fun to get to know and learn about the culture and family life (plus he handled the crazy traffic amazingly). Because the museum was not open when we first arrived in Cairo, he took us to Old Cairo & to the bazaar so we could experience the history and architecture before most of the shops were open. We then visited the museum where he enhanced the experience by explaining many of the exhibits prior to giving us time to go off and explore portions of the museum on our own. We opted to do the Nile River cruise & were glad we did. It ended up also being a private trip as well. After a stop at the papyrus museum (which I could have done without), and a delicious lunch we went to the pyramids. This was a life changing experience, made even better by Sarwat’s advice on how to recognize and respond to the “tricks” people will use to get money from the tourists. We also opted to do the camel ride. When Sarwat heard that the guide who walked us with our camels asked for more than the tip we gave him, he called someone with the group that did our camel rides & explained how that was not acceptable. Because of issues I have with headaches from certain scents, we did not do the perfumery. Sarwat offered to replace it with a cotton mill, but I was overheated by this time and was more than satisfied with our day, so we had Mahmoud take us back to the airport early.
The trip was far above our expectations. The organization, the support and our guide, Jemi were perfect. We received comfort, useful information and even surprises. With a clear conscience, I dare to recommend the services of Book Tour Egypt to everyone!
We booked with Book Tour Egypt even before traveling to Hurghada, the booking was for 3 tours (Cairo, Orange Bay Island, Luxor) it was the best decision we made the guide in Cairo was fantastic with a lot of knowledge, the trip to the islands was wonderful and the guide to Luxor always attentive, Book Tour Egypt was always in touch with us was definitely an excellent choice.
The trip was amazing and very well organised! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great time! We totally recommend this trip!
Amazing experience! The guide tour (karam) was smart in his explanation and nicely, kindly person...with these good sensation you can forget the tired!!!
Great day trip by plane from Hurgharda to Cairo, everything was perfectly organised and all the pick ups, flight etc went very smoothly and effortless. The places we visited were great as well, our tour guide Tharwat was excellent, he spoke great English and was very knowledgable and an all round great guy, would recommend.
