Top Cairo Bus Tours - page 3

I had a very pleasant experience with my tour guide Shahenda and driver Yasser. Shahenda was knowledgeable on the history of the sites we visited (Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis). She carefully explained the sites and allowed time for questions. You may have a quiz at the end, so make sure you pay attention. It was wonderful to see and enter some of the pyramids. Truly a step into ancient history and another civilization.

I did this museum tour on my first day in Egypt, and it was a great first experience. My guide, Rania, and the driver, Georges, were both extremely friendly and helpful. The museum itself was so incredible and made even better by Rania's wide base of knowledge. They were even kind enough to stay late and help me with the situatoon when an ATM machine took my bank card. Must do when in Cairo, especially if you are lucky enough to travel with these guides.

Alaa (Aladdin) was an extremely patient and friendly driver. I did the half day tour to Saqqara/Dhashur/Memphis and he took me to each site and more comfortably and safely. I'd definitely recommend. He did ask me at one point if I wanted to visit a carpet museum, to which I replied "no" and that was that. (I'd read reviews from some people saying they were driven round tourist trap shops). Would definitely recommend, just make sure you know what you want to see and where you want to go - Alaa's English was quite poor (we communicated with Google translate), so consider this a personal driver/Uber as opposed to a tour. Sidenote: I only paid for car+driver, there are also car+driver+guide options but I cannot speak for those

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 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.

Great trip to Saqqqara and the bent pyramid, the fore-runners of the great Pyramids. Fantastic to go inside the bent pyramid, 235ft down a 45 degree opening with a height of 1.1m, hard slog but worth it. I gather you can get inside the red pyramid (the first true pyramid) but it's even harder. Saqqqara and it's surrounding excavations and painted walls are more interesting than the great Pyramids and far fewer people were there. It deserves to be better known.

This experience is relaxed, personal, and driven by Ahmed’s bright, engaging personality. From the start, his energy sets the tone for the entire day. He is warm, upbeat, and genuine, which makes the experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure shared with a friend. The day is not rushed or overly structured. Ahmed encourages curiosity, conversation, and laughter, creating an easy, joyful atmosphere while still sharing meaningful context about Fayoum, the desert, and the whale fossils. The drive from Cairo becomes part of the experience, filled with good energy and connection. Visiting the whale fossils was fascinating. Lunch at a Bedouin rest area in the desert is a true highlight, offering a peaceful break in a beautiful setting. Travelers should know that much of what makes this experience special is Ahmed himself. His positivity, sense of humor, and genuine hospitality leave you feeling energized and cared for throughout the day. If you value a guide with a vibrant spirit who creates a memorable, personable experience, this tour is an excellent choice.

Talaat our king! Extremely personable tour guide, was a fantastic experience overall. Very knowledgeable and organized everything so all we had to do was enjoy and bear the heat. Sailing was more like 2 days but the accommodations are 4 days. Food is fantastic pool was a huge bonus. Lots of canopy cover on the upper level
