Top Cairo Bus Tours - page 187

Our driver, Islam and guide Ola picked us up promptly at our hotel for our tour of Saqqara, Memphis and Dahsur. Although traffic takes some getting used to in Egypt, Islam did a great job of transporting us safely to each of the sites. Ola had a thorough knowledge of the history of the areas and how it fits in to the history of Egypt. She did a wonderful job of explaining what we were seeing and also gave us plenty of time to explore on our own. We finished with a tasty lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Giza pyramids. The whole day and Itinerary went smoothly. It was a perfect day to begin our trip to Egypt!

We booked the all-inclusive package for us & our 10 year old daughter, during a day trip to Cairo from Sharm El Sheik. Communication from our guide, MARCO was brilliant from the start & he messaged me on WhatsApp the night before to confirm arrangements. Having done so, I cannot image doing a trip like this without a guide & driver. It made everything so much smoother, without worrying about where to go, how to navigate ticket sites & beat the crowds. MARCO was extremely knowledgeable & very personable, making our tour interactive as well involving our daughter as much as possible. She especially enjoyed learning how to read the hieroglyphics! We started the morning at the Great Pyramids & Sphinx, then had a great spot for lunch picked out by MARCO where we tried some traditional Egyptian food & had a personalised experience in a local essence shop, which was an extra treat. We then had the rest of our time visiting the GEM & the Tutankhamun exhibition, before stopping off to get a glimpse of the River Nile. MARCO managed to fit so much into our day trip & really maximised the time without making it feel rushed. It really was a fantastic day trip, well worth it. Pick up & drop off from the airport was prompt & smooth, our driver AYMAN had it all in hand, so we didn't have to worry about missing our flight back. AYMAN was very polite & courteous, always there promptly when we were ready to move on, keeping us well stocked in water & chocolate too! Both MARCO & AYMAN provided an excellent, friendly & personable experience. We will definitely recommend the all-inclusive package to friends, as it just takes the hassle out of everything, meaning we only have great memories & not the stress that navigating these things can sometimes take. We would not have been able to do it without either of them. Great tour! Thank you.

We had a wonderful private full-day tour of Coptic and Islamic Cairo. Our guide, Farha, was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a simple and interesting way, which made the experience even more meaningful. She planned the day very well and took us to all the key sites without feeling rushed. We also visited Khan Al Khalili market and a place to get good quality papyrus, which we really appreciated. The driver was also very professional and made the journey comfortable throughout the day. Overall, it was a smooth, well-organised, and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Cairo in depth.

We chose the later pick up because we were so tired from travel. Just know that the pyramids will be more crowded and to go inside the Greta pyramid it is very very hot and crowded at those times. So consider going early even if you’re tired. Mona was a great tour guide. Letting us take our time and taking great photos of our family. She was very knowledgeable. I loved the camel ride too. Make sure you bring money for tips for the camel ride and for the guide of course! We got our hair wrapped at the pyramids, more expensive probably but worth it! All the shops at the pyramids are very nice. We got gelato but you can easily get snacks or drinks. Lunch was just ok. They could choose a better spot.

A really special experience that stays with me months after I returned from the visit to Saqqara. The driver and guide I was lucky enough to travel with, Mr. Hisham, was very knowledgeable and a great driver. He was helpful, positive and friendly from the first meeting to the end of the trip. I would highly recommend him to other visitors for a comfortable and interesting trip to the Egyptian countryside. As a female solo traveler he also made me feel very safe something that was valuable to me. Overall a great experience!

I highly recommend this private tour! Climbing Mudawara Mountain provided exceptional views, and boating while feeding the seagulls was such a fun, memorable experience. This was a completely new side of Egypt, which I never knew. Our guide, Youssef (Joe), was outstanding—incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and took great care of us throughout the day. Our driver, Ahmed, was also excellent and made the trip seamless. A perfect day of adventure and great company.

I had a phenomenal tour with my tour guide Selvia and driver Raafat. Selvia in particular was such a treat: she was energetic and genuinely interested in helping people understand the unique aspects of Coptic Cairo as well as connecting with them. One can truly tell she loves what she does and shows deep attention to the history and stories that make each destination come alive. Also, this tour company went above and beyond in accommodating a last minute booking from me. They arranged everything within an hour of me making a same day booking after my former plans fell through and thanks to them I got to see much more than I planned with an exceptional tour guide. Highly recommend both this company and specific tour!

Heba was one of the greatest tour guides I have gotten. She has made my experience here at Egypt exactly what I expected. She was very kind and informed about a lot within the city. I would highly recommend her for any visitors visiting Egypt and looking for a tour guide!
