Pyramid view
I would definitely recommend Passant! She was very pleasant, kind, and patient with us throughout the entire tour. She took us to all the best spots for pictures and showed us the best places to buy souvenirs. She made the experience so enjoyable and was very helpful throughout the day. I would definitely book with her again!

Osama and Moody changed my life!
Osama is a professional,knowledgeable,respectful,responsible,kind, genuine,gentleman. He made my tour even more magnificent. I felt like I belonged. I felt like family. Please ask for Osama. Moody my driver was professional and kind. A very reliable and respectful man. I wish they were truly my blood. Osama explained the ancient Egyptian history and everybody knows him and always has positive things to say about him. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and they both were a true genuine gentleman. I am still in awe. Osama took over 50 pictures and taught me how to pose. He also connected me with wonderful local spots. They were quality spaces. I fell in love with Egypt!

Amazing day full of great...
Amazing day full of great memories.
Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and very informative.
The only recommendation would be that you need to tell the tour guide to slow down the experience as they want you to visit papyrus /fragrance shops and workshops where you spend and they get a cut. The experience is good but you end up with less time at the actual places you booked to tour.
Overall great day.

An Amazing Day Trip to Alexandria from Cairo
Our day trip from Cairo to Alexandria was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
I want to start by giving a huge shoutout to our driver, who was wonderful. He was very friendly, smooth and safe with his driving, and incredibly talkative and informative. Even on the drive from Cairo to Alexandria, he kept us entertained by telling us about the monuments and history along the way.
Once we arrived in Alexandria, we met our tour guide, Mohammed, and WOW—what an incredible guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about every place we visited. We explored the Alexandria Library, Catacombs, Pompey’s Pillar, the ancient Roman sites, St. Mark’s Cathedral, a mosque, and several other important monuments. We also drove along the beautiful Corniche, saw the Mediterranean Sea, watched people fishing, and saw the beautiful palaces and historic sites along the coast.
Mohammed truly brought Alexandria’s history to life. His knowledge was unbelievable—I honestly felt like a historian by the end of the day! 😂 He was kind, patient, attentive, and made sure we understood and enjoyed every part of the experience.
We ended our amazing day with a delicious seafood meal overlooking the beach, which was the perfect way to finish the tour. Everything was included in our package, and the entire experience was well organized and stress-free.
We are extremely grateful for this experience and especially for Mohammed and our wonderful driver. They made our day in Alexandria unforgettable. We will absolutely use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Egypt! 🇪🇬❤️
Thank you, Mohammed, for making us feel like we were traveling through history rather than simply taking a tour!

Day trip to Luxor
A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without a day trip, at least, to Luxor. The transportation from our hotel to the Cairo airport and back could have been better but it didn’t deter from the trip. Once arriving in Luxor everything was flawless. Remon was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough free time while also keeping us on schedule. I would recommend this tour.

Our Day/Tour was AMAZING!!!
So booked this trip for Myself my wife and two kids who are real troopers by the way we did the pretty much all inclusive package and got linked up with our tour guide Nevin. . . Who is by far . . . One of the most hard working, knowledgeable and fun tour guide we've ever had. She was on time she was very knowledgeable about her history and her culture she knew all the ins and outs gave us advice on how to move and just all around a great tour guide. Now look it's not my first rodeo tour guides have vendors they deal with that's nothing new to us but Nevin IS AN ENTIRE VILLAGE BY HERSELF!!! LOL!!! WHATEVER WE ASKED FOR SHE KNEW WHERE TO GET IT SHES" NEVIN THE LINK!!" We had a blast man everything from the pyramids to the museum to local markets we burned her out (poor thing) but she enjoys what she does and you can tell FIVE STARS ALL AROUND WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR DAY/TOUR !!!

10/10 Experience!
This was our first time To Egypt and this experience made us feel so safe which was a top priority. The private car, an amazing guide named Michael!, knowledge and flexible with our time. Every moment was thought out and we had an amazing time! We went to the pyramids and I’m so glad we had the choice to enter the pyramids or not before tickets were bought. We then went to both the oils and papyrus store, lunch was truly incredible (mind you we are picky New Yorkers), and the grand Egyptian museum - we learned with our guide and received personal time to roam. Truly an amazing experience! I highly recommend it!

Day trip to Alexandria
We took a day trip from Cairo to Alexandria and really enjoyed it. Walked our driver was very good and helpful. He arrived 15 minutes early. The car was quite new, clean and had really good AC, the journey was smooth.
We paid $50 for 2 people, so this was excellent value for money.

You will see and learn a lot!
Ahmed was our guide and he went above and beyond! Every bit of the experience was great and we really loved getting to be inside the city and seeing it from a locals point of view! The meal was great. Ahmed truly helped us in the market with finding good deals and staying safe. We saw and did so much and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I highly suggest anyone traveling to Cairo, to book this tour! It’s a great way to see a lot and get a good feel for the city!! Felucca, mosque, meal, shopping!! So good!!

Desert, Dunes, Whales, and Waterfalls!
One of the best tours I’ve experienced in years! But please be cautioned if you are prone to motion sickness or cannot tolerate vehicular risk.
Yes, you see whale skeletons in the desert, Lake Qarun, and a pretty albeit polluted waterfall. Yes, you get served a delightful meal in a desert camp (glamp) sight while feral cats wait to pick through your leftovers.
But by far the most exciting part of this tour for me was the vehicle safari. Windy, bumpy, not for the faint of heart, but riding in the back while an experienced driver surfs a Land Cruiser down dunes is not an experience to be missed. I also got a chance to skate surf down a dune at the end. Accept it: you will probably wipe out. 😊
My guide was Fares and my drivers were Yusuf and Mohammed.Thanks guys!

So well worth it!
Having a skilled private driver (Mohamed) and knowledgeable guide (Wagih) made a huge difference in what we saw and learned. We covered the main churches, synagogue, citadels, and mosques plus other sites. Appreciated their flexibility, they accommodated our pacing/request to go explore and we never felt rushed. Dreaded the hassle to see all the sights on our own so we’re so glad we booked this tour.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
The sprawling metropolis of Cairo is rich with historic sights and cultural experiences—and the logistics of taking them all in can be overwhelming in this bustling Egyptian city. The best way to visit ancient pyramids, sail on an authentic felucca, take photos of the Great Sphinx, or ride a camel is with one of the many Cairo day trips available to visitors. Some sightseeing tours feature the services of a professional Egyptologist guide who can provide more in-depth insight than a simple guidebook. Also, consider a day trip from Cairo to legendary Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea.
