Our trip to the Pyramids...
Our trip to the Pyramids of Giza was fantastic. Our guide Menna was wonderful - very knowledgeable, patient and kind. She didn’t rush our visit at all and let us explore what we wanted. The whole trip was very well organised from start to finish. Menna sent us a message the day before the trip to confirm plans and again in the morning to let us know she was on the way to collect us. She answered all of our questions and took the time to explain everything we wanted to know. We went to a very nice restaurant in Giza for lunch, with a wonderful view of the pyramids. The food was delicious! The driver was also excellent. We would give 10 stars if we could. Fantastic!

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.

Look no further!!
What an amazing day. We had a once in a life time experience with the most lovely team of people. Everything was so smooth and well organised, from the transport, camels, ATVs, shopping and staff that took care of us on the dinner cruise and made sure we had all we need. The ATV guide, Sammy must be a photographer because he got some really impressive photos of us with the pyramids. Incredible! Everyone was so welcoming. But the star of the show was Habeba our tour guide for the day & taught us so much about the history of pyramids. She was so friendly, easy to get along with, extremely knowledgeable, caring & funny!! She spoke very good English and was very clear to understand. We felt so safe and looked after from start to finish. She lead us in the right direction and she was very genuine and gave us lots of tips to get the best experience & quality shopping. We feel like we hit the Jackpot with Habeba! We have done lots of guided tours all over Europe and Egypt and this was by far the best guide we’ve ever had! Thank you for taking such good care of us & making this such a memorable trip, Habeba & the entire team!

Would recommend the...
Would recommend the excursion - Hagar is an excellent tour guide, with excellent English and a degree in Egyptology. She has made the tour of the Gaza pyramids and the GEM super informative and interesting. Buffet lunch was good with plenty of choices. We arrived a bit early which was good in hindsight as it got busy later. I only chose to visit 2 shops - essential oils and jewellery. Would recommend the oils shop - very pleasant detour with ladies there very pleasant and a perfect place for a refreshments. I was impressed with various pure oils so bought some. In the jewellery shop it was not my thing - I didn't buy anything and that was fine too. The driver was very helpful and on the way back we stopped in the District of art galleries, recommended to me.

We had an amazing trip to the Pyramids in Cairo, and Amira was an outstanding guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive with her explanations. She answered all of our questions and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Amira to anyone visiting the Pyramids and the GEM!

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!!

Had a great experience...
Had a great experience with Mohammad Wasir, we traveled with our 3 year old daughter and he was very accommodating and flexible with our start time, breaks during the intense heat and food which was very important to us
We would recommend this experience plus the perfume / oud stop was an added experience and he ensured we were comfortable and relaxed throughout the day! Thanks Mohammad!

Great pyramids and sphynx tour - very knowledgeable guide
Absolutely fantastic tour of the pyramids and sphynx. Our guide, Nada, was exceptionally knoweldgable and overly patient with my child's endless questions. We had a wonderful time exploring the pyramids at our own pace with great history lessons on the pyramids and Egypt. Nada's expertise extended beyond the pyramids as she answered my overly inquisitive and excited child's exhaustive questions. Thank you! This was exactly the tour we were looking for to see the pyramids and the sphynx.

This is a MUST do
I can't even describe what a wonderful experience today was. I have dreamed of seeing the pyramids my entire life (48 years now). You need to book this with a guide, it made the day magical. Esaam was incredible. Exploring the sites with an actual Egyptologist was amazing. His insight was so enlightening. I will be back to Egypt and I will be doing more tours with him.

Amazing time in Alexandria!
We had such a wonderful day trip to Alexandria with Karim and our driver Ahmet. Everything was organised perfectly from pickup to drop-off, and the whole experience felt comfortable, fun, and full of fascinating history.
Karim was an excellent Egyptologist guide ,incredibly knowledgeable, clever, funny, and passionate about Alexandria’s Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history. He explained everything in such an interesting and easy way and showed us both the beautiful modern side of Alexandria and the deeper historical and cultural side too. As Albanians living in Britain, we especially loved hearing the historical connections he shared with us.
We visited Montaza Palace, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, the Catacombs, and many other amazing places. Lunch was lovely, the transport was comfortable, and Ahmet was so patient, kind, and friendly throughout the day.
Our group included people from America, Germany, China, and the UK, and Karim made everyone feel included and welcomed. We learned so much while laughing all day. Truly one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had in Egypt. Highly recommended!

A Truly Unforgettable Cairo Experience
Our tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Egyptian Museum, and Nile Felucca was absolutely amazing and highly recommended! Our tour guide, Maikol, was incredibly professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Egyptian pyramids and Egypt itself.
A special thank you as well to our driver, Muhammad, who made sure we traveled safely and comfortably to every destination throughout the day.
Thank you both for making our first trip to Cairo such a fantastic and unforgettable experience. This vacation gave us memories that will last a lifetime, and we truly look forward to visiting again!

All the sites we visted were amazing - especially Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Our guide, Dina, was exceptional - knowledgeable, informative, helpful and very pleasant. Unforgetteable!

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.
