Great tour for a couple with one day in Cairo. Sherif met us with our driver in the morning. Straight into the complex to all the best photo spots. Next up a quick visit to the papyrus museum and oil factory next door. Lovely local lunch and then finished off at the Egypt Museum in Cairo. Lots of knowledge shared and great photos taken. Thanks.

Great experience and a great tour guide who tells something about the great piramids
We had a full day tour with Hadeer which took us to see the Pyramids, Camel Ride, The Egyptian Museum with Lunch. We are very thankful for her patience, the way she had with us and the kids. Thank you for a very nice day in Cairo.
We are so lucky that we had Doha as our guide. I am traveling with my two children of 12 and 16 and visited the Egyptian museum and the pyramids with Doha. She managed to make our tour special, for all of us, by making it intriguing, interesting and fun for the children and also knew exactly when to go in depth to make sure to deliver my experience as adult too. She was lovely with the kids and it was obvious she was very passionate about everything single thing she was showing us. It felt like we got a personal tour by a friend or family member, that made everything to make sure we got the best out of our experience.
The tour was very nice, had a great time with Noura and excellent service from Jamica from Comeback Limousine. He spoke very good English and showed me the city while driving through. The car was very clean and even got free drinks and good music.
Our guide Tamer was wonderful, an actual archeologist, he was very knowledgeable. Our driver Momen was great too
Good tour nice guide friendly it was an informative experience seen the Pyramids sphinx and acara
An amazing tour with an amazing guide Doha! See was very informative and knowledgeable she was also very friendly and helpful I would definitely recommend the pyramids tour and the Egyptian museum tour with her, this is a great company they communicate well and are very helpful
We had a guide named Hassan Ghanem who spoke very poor English and didn't explain anything to us. We booked this through GET YOUR GUIDE, which is supposed to be a reputable company. But obviously we ended up with this company, which was very bad. They took us to a tea and spice place that wasn't on the tour to constantly sell us things. We went to the pyramids and they didn't explain anything to us. They didn't explain anything to us at the museum either. They are scammers. Don't hire them. They picked us up in Hurghada with an extremely uncomfortable van. You couldn't even recline the seats. It was a terrible experience. We went to eat at a fairly good restaurant, but the drinks were very expensive. Four euros per drink. And they weren't included. The Nile River excursion for 10 euros isn't worth it because they don't explain anything either. They are scammers.
I did a tour (from hurgada 2 days in Luxor) with my mom and it was very nice. Our guide hamdy was very knowledgeable and could tell us all we wanted to know about the artifacts. The drivers were both very nice as well. Our hotel (the temple hotel) was perfect, very good service and breakfast. Overall we would definitely recommend this tour! 🇳🇱
We spend the day with Jasmine, our personal guide. Her knowledge is fantastic. She's very kind, patient and gave us a very good view of ancient Egypt. Together with her and our great driver we had an amazing tour. Thank you very much and we wish you all the best! Nice tours was very helpfull by reschedule the whole tour to the next day. It was magic! John and Miranda
An exceptionally good trip. The communication regarding pick up, meeting at the airport etc was brilliant. Our guide, Nora and our driver, Mohammed, were awesome. A brilliant experience all round and worth every penny.
Had a wonderful experience with an amazing guide and driver. Highly recommend their service. The overall trip was worth every penny
Amer was such a great informative guide. It was a pleasure to meet him and have him as our guide today he was amazing definitely will come and book with Amer again.
Amazing experience with Hager. Explained everything in great detail and took the time to cater to our needs with the trip. From start to finish we had a fantastic trip.
I booked a week in advance. Sent over the documents and was received confirmation etc. we arrived in Egypt and the evening before we were due to get picked up at 4am, we received a WhatsApp to say the trip was cancelled due to no available flights! When booking the trip I had checked the flights myself and there was plenty of space, so why were the seats not booked then? Why wait until the evening before? I was offered an alternative date 3 days later or a refund. Bearing in mind I was only in Egypt for a short time and the pyramids was the main thing we wanted to see, we were not happy. I spent the next day trying to organise someone else to take us to Cairo and eventually managed to get a different operator to drive us on very short notice! I request a refund and was told it would be granted. Eventually 10 days later I was told I needed to request the refund via the app! So I waited 2 weeks since cancellation before I received my money back! Luckily I had money to organise a trip with someone else because if I didn’t we wouldn’t have got to see the pyramids! To say we were disappointed with this booking would be an understatement!
We had a lovely day touring the Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza. Hadeer was an informative guide and made the visits interesting.
very good experience, specially with the guide Tamer we visited the pyramids and the egyptian museum and other places and stores
Even though there were a few hickups regarding the flight times, our exceptional guide Tamir and the very nice driver Ahmed made this a very special day for us. We travel a lot, but so far we have never had a guide as knowledgeable as Tamir. Additionally he is very nice and also looked out for us and took great care of us.
The tour with our guide Anna was great. First we went to the pyramids and the Sphinx, then to the National Museum with the mummies and finally there was a nice Egyptian meal. Everything was well organized, but above all Anna explained everything wonderfully and knowledgeably. She answered all our questions about the history of Egypt competently and gave us a wonderful day.
We had an unforgettable experience visiting the Pyramids! Our guide, Amira, was absolutely amazing — a beautiful local woman who clearly loves her job and does it with all her heart. She told us fascinating stories about Egyptian history and culture, making everything come to life. Amira also took fantastic photos of us — she really knows the best spots and angles! 📸 We couldn’t be happier with the tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you, Amira, for such a wonderful day! 🙏✨
Everything was wonderful. Mrs. Hala was great and very informative. She even took pictures and videos of us without us having to ask her. The food was really delicious. The whole trip was simply indescribably good.
The tour from Hurghada to Cairo was amazing and well organized! Special thanks to Marina for her kind support and clear communication – she made everything smooth and easy. We felt safe, informed, and really enjoyed every stop. Highly recommended
I booked a tour from Hurghada to Cairo with Nice Tours. Everything went smoothly, the flight ticket was booked for me, the entrance to the pyramids, museum, etc. I was picked up from my hotel by private transfer and brought back. I was picked up from the hotel by private transfer and taken back again, everything went as Nice Tours had described. When I arrived in Cairo, the driver Ameer was already waiting for me. Ameer was very friendly and very nice. Our guide Hazam was very nice, attentive and very informative, he told us a lot and taught us a lot, thanks again for that. We were a small group (5 people) and I really enjoyed it. The lunch was also good. Thanks for the great time, I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot about the history of Egypt. And I want also to thank for Marina from Nice Tours, she wrote me all the time when I had questions. She had organized very good!
My daughter and myself booked the trip to fly from our holiday destination in Hurghada to Cairo for the full day experience of the pyramids of Giza and Sphinx plus the visit to the museum. We were picked up by a taxi and driven to the airport. The driver was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately our flight to Cairo at 8:00 was delayed due to technical issues and didn’t take off until 10:30 which meant we missed some valuable time in Cairo. Once we arrived at Cairo our driver Mohamed was waiting for us with name card. His English wasn’t the greatest but he had a voice note on his phone explaining that our guide Mariem would be joining us en route. We collected Mariem just a few km along the road for our experience to start. Although we had lost some time Mariem made sure saw everything from the pyramids, Sphinx and the museum. Her knowledge was fantastic and she definitely knows her stuff. Would I recommend this trip, company and guide. 100% the value was exceptional.
Everything was prearranged and worked out better than I could have ever expected. I was contacted by nice tours on WhatsApp where Marianne sent me all the details. Our resort was outside Hurghada, the usual pick up city, but the tour company was able to arrange a private return trip ride for us for only $30 more. We were picked up from the resort and driven to the airport in a private car. Made it to our flights without an issue. We were picked up at the airport in Cairo by our wonderful tour guide, Hazem, who also stayed with us the entire day. I can’t say enough about Hazem. He is the most friendly, educated, respectful, and kindest person I ever met. He took it upon himself to be a big brother to my 9 year old daughter, Amelia. He did everything in his power to keep her engaged and entertained. He bought her ice-cream and even two stuffed animal toys. We saw everything we wanted and he asked us what we preferred to do. We were pretty exhausted in the end of the day and were ready for a break. We ended the day with going to his favorite rooftop cafe with a view of the Nile river. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and truly treated us like family. I told him how much I appreciated all he did and what a genuinely good person he was. He were truly blessed with him.
I recently booked a one day pyramid tour in Giza. I was assigned Noura as my guide. Noura was very down to earth, very friendly and very knowledgeable. She told me about the history of the pyramids and about Egyptian history. Noura was a very good guide and would recommend her.
We so appreciated our guide who helped us through the massive city of Cairo. Not only did we have a private guide, Hadir, but we had a private driver because we are a family of six. This is the perfect way to see all that is important in Cairo/Giza.
Had an amazing time the trip far exceed my expectations. We was really lucky to have jasmine who was incredible. She had an exeptional knowledge and is fantastic with children. We really couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Atif the driver was really nice too. We’ve had such a fantastic day and would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recomendable to learn about Egyptian History. My tour guide Anwaar well prepared and knowledgeable. She was so kind to arrange a birthday surprise even though it was not part of her job. I really appreciate the effort of taking pictures so you can go back with nice memories.
The visit in Egypt was so amazing, the driver and rest of the stuff look after us. Mustafa show us everything, the best trip to Egypt ever! Food on the trip was good as well. Highly recommended!
Nice Trip to Kairo, startet early at Hotel in Hurghada. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mustafa was a nice Guy - Habibi. Thanks a lot.
Hadeer gave us a lot of infos and helped with the local vendors! When we wished to explore more of the sights, she was very patient and let us enjoy them as we wanted!
We had a great tour with Hader who is so informative and helpful. We learned so much about Egyptian history and she kindly took plenty of pictures of us by the Pyramids! I would recommend this tour.
After reading reviews I was sceptical about this tour as many complained about certain aspects. However, me and my girlfriend had a very pleasant time and I can’t rate Hazem high enough, he started the day off buy providing us with water and a snack after our long journey, also he was very knowledgable regarding all the sites we saw during the day. He was very accommodating for everyone’s needs as he was taking many photos for us all whilst also explaining the history throughout. Hazem even gave advice about how to conduct yourself in the area to have a more pleasant experience. The journey there and back is very long and bumpy so don’t expect to get much sleep, I would recommend getting some sleep before hand. I would recommend this trip to any others wanting to visit the pyramids from hurghada.
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Cairo, Omar is the guide you need! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our trip truly special. His energy is contagious, his humor keeps the day lighthearted, and his knowledge of Egypt’s history is unmatched. Omar took us to the Pyramids, set up an incredible camel ride, and even brought us into exclusive areas that aren’t open to the public—an experience we never expected! On top of that, he is hands down the best photographer. He knows all the right angles and lighting to capture perfect memories. If you want a tour that’s fun, informative, and filled with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, book with Omar. You won’t regret it!
Went to Cairo for the day and Omar showed us a 10/10 time. He was very adventurous, and cared a lot about his job. Very professional and seemed to know everyone in Egypt where we went.
We had a wonderful time with Noura and the driver Ahmed. We were treated like royalty. Very knowledgeable Would love to return.
Had an amazing tour of the Pyramids with Mustafa! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. The tour was well-paced, with great insights, photo spots, and local tips. Highly recommend for anyone visiting!
Great day from start to finish in Cairo, pyramids were amazing, food was great and the museum was good. Highly recommended
We had a wonderful experience on our day trip to Cairo with Nice Tours (through Viator) via Trip Advisor. Having said that, the trip in terms of organisation before we got there was a little bit up-and-down and we ended up being collected at 2:30 am for a 4:45 flight - earlier than originally expected. Once all the details were finalised we were collected and driven to the airport. The flight was short (around 50 minutes ) and on a 737 with Egyptair. When we arrived at the airport in Cairo, we were met by our driver Sa My, he was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire day and definitely enhanced our whole experience. Because the flight was a lot earlier than we originally expected, Nice Tours arranged for Sa My to take us to a hotel called the Sofia pyramid hotel for a 3 hour stopover to catch up on some sleep. From the top floor you could go up and have breakfast and look out over the pyramids. This was at no extra charge and added to the experience. Sa My then took us to meet our tour guide Adham and we proceeded with the tour of the pyramids, Sphinx, my wife rode a camel as an extra option. We were taken to a perfume and papyrus shop but politely made it clear we were not buying and were not hassled . Lunch was fabulous and plentiful, you just had to pay for drinks. We then continued our journey to the Egyptian Museum. After this Adham asked what we wanted to do. We opted to do an impromptu short boat trip on the Nile, we ended up on a boat with Adham and the owner of the boat for the equivalent cost of around £26.00. We opted not to do the bazaar as it was very busy and we were tired, so Sa My took us back to the airport. He really was a fabulous driver and really looked after us all day. When we landed at Hurghada airport our driver was waiting and dropped us back up the hotel. Final thoughts regarding the confusion over the flights to Cairo . I believe this may have been caused by Viators policy of having the ability to cancel up to 24 hours before your trip. This works for everything else except where you have to book a flight. This means that the tour operator can’t book the flights until the last minute without taking the financial risk of you cancelling. Perhaps Viator need to refine this rule where the booking of internal flights is involved We had a fabulous day and would highly recommend this tour
Great day visiting the Egyptian museum and pyramids with Hader. Very knowledgeable and explained everything well. Thanks ☺️
Very nice experience with Mostafa. We drove from Hurghada to Cairo in a shuttle bus. We saw the pyramids, bought some souvenirs (oils, species, papyrus…)… a bit touristic, but good experience. Also, good food for lunch.
We've had a beautiful day in Cairo with Miriam, she's very knowledgeable and fun and knows very good spots for taking pictures and to buy Egyptian items. The pyramids were stunning and do the camel ride!
The tour was nice to, at least see once, the pyramids in life. All the staff was always friendly and made a big effort to make it a nice trip. The museum and the explanations of our guide noura had been very interesting! She also took nice fotos of us at every sight. The lunch was authentic and very tasty. The time at the pyramids should be longer, as this is the main part of the trip. Advice: 1. Bring a proof of what icluded your booking better in English and Arabic as noone knows your entries you paid. Better you pay there, cause there are also student discounts! 2. Bring EGP, € and credit card you need all of it. 3. You have to be aware that the time is limited at the pyramids and museum as the trip from hurghada to cairo takes a long time. So don't waste your time in the shops.
The best daytrip ever! Our driver Samy met us with treats and water and moved us safely around the town, the daytrip was very well organized, we visited the giza pyramids, entered the great pyramid which was an amazing experience and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant with a breathtaking view and amazing local food. Afterwards we visited the Egyptian museum where we learned so much about the history of this amazing culture. The best part of the daytrip was definitely our tour guide, Mostafa. He was super kind and so filled with knowledge, we enjoyed this day so much and even tough it lasted for around 8 hours, it felt like a minute. We enjoyed so many colorfull stories told by our guide and so many new information...it was a perfect end to our Egypt trip and we will be forever grateful that he made our last day so enjoyable.
Our tour guide Mustafa was very friendly, very informative. He and our bus driver navigated us around chaotic Kairo and we always felt safe around them. They gave us some helpful advice during the tour. Highly recommended!
Our tour with Mustafa was truly outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights and interesting facts at every stop. Thanks to him, we discovered many beautiful places that we might have otherwise missed. The entire experience, from the well-organized transfer to the smooth flight arrangements, was seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!
After an early wake up (1.30am!) in Hurghada we travelled on a comfortable minibus with only 4 other passengers to Cairo - it is a long journey, 7 hours ish, a couple of stops though, and a few police checkpoints. It was still a good journey and we managed to get some sleep! We arrived in Giza at the pyramid complex and were greeted by our guide, Mohammed, he has very good English and was very knowledgeable of all that our tour had to offer. We spent around 2 hours at the pyramids and the Sphinx, we felt like this was plenty of time and we managed to get good photos and Mohammed explained everything about the history of the pyramids and more. Following that we went to a papyrus making demonstration which had some beautiful pieces available to buy - we were there around 15/20 minutes and it wasn’t a hard sell, and was a good demonstration. Following that we had a typical Egyptian lunch with chicken and kofte with salads - delicious! Then a 20 minute trip to a perfume factory which again was good and they didn’t push to buy. The last part of the day was the Egyptian museum which was really interesting and explained more about the days visits. Following that was a boat trip (which we didn’t do) and the long journey back, a tiring day but 100% worth it and I would do it again. I recommend buying the basic ticket and paying separately for all additional tickets as it works out cheaper!
Hazem was the best guide ever! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt so much about the ancient history of Egypt, truly mind blowing stuff. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo was the highlight, magnificent artefacts.
