Top Cairo Day Trips - page 6

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

This was very well organised with an amazing guide called Mimo. he was so accomodating and so was Zainab through WhatsApp. they took us to the pyramids, camel ride, pefum shop and them museum. he had great advice andw as so knowledgeable, he saved us so much time by telling us the boring stuff to skip. wold 10/10 reccomend to others. very good for a group of friends.

Had a great day exploring the pyramids, seeing the new museum and on the Nile felluca ride. Waleed was a great tour guide and the car was comfortable with good ride. We had a nice time and it was also very efficient and the timing was managed well. Would highly recommend!!!

Marco was amazing. His knowledge on Egypt was incredible and the way he described to us every detail was so fascinating and gave us something we couldn’t experience without him. He knew everyone which made the journey a breeze, helping us into cabs and dealing with hagglers and shopkeepers. He also took us to the front of queues and gave us a great experience to remember. Marco is a funny and friendly man, great with our kids and helpful with everything. Highly recommended!

It was amazing! Not only did our guide tell us about Egypt’s history but he also made sure we were comfortable, safe, and felt welcomed! We had so much fun! The camel ride was my favorite 🥰 we also love all the great pictures our guide took! 🤩 definitely recommend booking!

We had an incredible experience visiting the Giza Pyramids with our amazing tour guide and driver! Traveling with my wife and daughter, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of us. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate—bringing the history of the pyramids to life in a way that kept all of us engaged, even my daughter. Every detail was explained clearly, and all our questions were answered with enthusiasm. Our driver was just as impressive—professional, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Navigating the busy areas around Giza is no easy task, but he handled it with ease. Together, they made our day smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking to explore the pyramids stress-free and with a personal touch!

Our guide, Mario was very personable and knowledgeable and took the time to cover the material as well as our questions. Very informative tour that will encourage further study into the area. Many of the structures were simply awe-inspiring from within. Lovely tour!

Usam and our driver were awesome to spend the day touring some of these amazing sites. I like the fact that we started in Memphis and Saqqara which avoided some of the crowds. Usam was engaging, helped us with goo picture sites and even how to avoid some of the scams with come vendors. We had a lunch of Kaosharo which was INCREDIBLE! We finished off the day at the Giza complex. It was a great tour for the value. The only items that were not on the original itenerary was a stop at an essential oil “museum” shop and a papyrus “museum” which was kind of not what we had planned. The oil shop was a sales job and while the products were nice (we actually bought a small bottle) it was a bit high pressure and we didn’t really want to shop like this. We simply asked to skip the papyrus shop because we figured it would be the same, so I would simply ask to skip those parts if you did not want to shop. Overall, we loved our day with Usam ! thank you!
