Exceptional service and friendly environment
Our family had a great time with our guide Ajoub. He was very informative and answered any questions we had. He also allowed us to take our time everywhere we went and never rushed us. Once we were done at the pyramids and sphinx he brought us to a place that he bought his shirt from since my dad said he liked it and wanted a similar one. Then he also asked if we would like to visit a place where they make papyrus paper/paintings and we agreed. We ended up buying a beautiful painting while there and were not rushed. After that we had an amazing buffet style lunch with many different options before arriving back at our hotel. We all had an amazing time and highly recommend Ajoub

Excellent Guide and tour!
The tour was excellent! I couldn’t have asked for a better tour. Islam was our guide and he was super knowledgeable and kind. He took us to an amazing perfume/oil store and I wish I would have purchased more. My husband is getting so many compliments.
The pyramids were amazing and Islam took the best pictures. Would definitely book again

Awesome Time
Our guide Mohamed, and our driver Mahmoud, with The Egyptian King Travel Agency were fantastic. Seeing the sights is one thing, but you’re guaranteed to enjoy that no matter what. What truly made this experience more incredible were Mohamed and Mahmoud. They were on time, accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of (water, bathroom access, food recommendations) We had great conversation and they both have great senses of humor. Mohamed’s knowledge of history, civilization, faith and religion are excellent and for any question we asked him, he took the time to give a detailed, in-depth response. We consider ourselves lucky that these two were who we ended up with as our guides. One more addition: Mahmoud is an excellent, safe driver and knows how to manage the local traffic very well. When coming to Egypt, these are the gentlemen you want to show you around!

Outstanding trip
Excellent experience. The guide was wonderful. She arrived on time, was courteous, knowledgeable, kind and had great sense of humor. She explained everything about the pyramids. Its history and cultural significance. She took us to every pyramid and made our journey a memorable one.

Best way to experience the old city
Great experience with Ahmed exploring the old city and heart and culture of Cairo. They even picked me up from GEM which saved me a lot of time. From the feluca ride at sunset to the shawarma at the end was wonderful. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about his city. Also other members of the group were very nice.

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!

Great trip
Our driver picked us up at 6am. It was about 2.5 hrs drive and he stopped along the way for coffee and snacks. It was overall a great drive. The tour was interesting and informative. I highly recommend taking this day trip if you want to experience Alexandria city in a short time.

Very highly recommended.
We had such a wonderful day on this tour with Adham. He is an amazing guide. Knowledgeable, helpful and couldn’t do enough to make our day perfect and answer all our questions. Ihe was flexile and changed plans according to our needs which meant we got to spend more time at the GEM se wanted. I do recommend this tour n

Our guide for the trip...
Our guide for the trip was amazing! Wagih was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. He took his time explaining everything and answering all of our questions. We had so much with this tour. Our driver Ibrahim was prompt and safely delivered us to all of our destinations, waiting patiently to pick us up after every excursion. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

My husband and I had a...
My husband and I had a great time! The tour guide and driver were very knowledgeable and took us to the main attraction tourist locations as well as other hidden gems. The tour was actually private (which we did not know). I would recommend this trip! This dynamic duo team were both named Ahmed so it’s easy to request when booking this excursion.

Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
We had the great pleasure of Sayed and his driver, apologies for forgetting your name my friend. They were on time, organising things from start to end. We had two children with us, and they adapted well. Sayed's knowledge on the topic is vast, but he also engaged in personal conversation, which added to the bonding and enjoyment. 5 out of 5 from beginning to end. Thanks guys!

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.
