Top Cairo Full-day Tours - page 77

Our guide Mohamed and his driver picked us up at our Giza hotel and took us to see the main 'downtown' Cairo attractions. It was complicated because a) it was the Muslim holy day (Friday) and also b) Ramadan, where people fast all day. So the tour was a bit rushed, but it had to be that way, and we felt we missed nothing really. An excellent guide with good English and we learned a lot from him on the trip. Highly recommended

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.

We had such a great day with Ibrahim. Everything just ran really smoothly from start to finish. He took us to the Grand Egyptian Museum, then the pyramids, camel rides and the pacing was just right. We never felt rushed, and covered all the main highlights, he definitely knew what he was doing! He’s genuinely kind and easy to be around, and he did an awesome job keeping my two boys engaged and entertained the whole time. He was also accommodating and flexible, which we really appreciated. Honestly, I’d highly recommend him.

This tour was definitely a highlight of our week in Cairo for our family of 6! Our tour guide, Mirna B. was very knowledgeable, and was also kind and helpful with our 4 children, buying them snacks, helping us carry extra jackets, and making sure the children were safe in the crowds the entire time. The story of St. Simon the Tanner is incredible, we learned so much visiting the Cave Church in Garbage City. This is one of the most unique sights in Cairo, definitely a must see!! Getting to visit where Mary, Joseph, and Jesus stayed when they fled to Egypt, and even seeing the well where they got their water from, was truly an experience our family will never forget. After a few days of visiting pyramids and museums, it was beautiful to witness the fervor, enthusiasm, and the devotion of the Christian community in Cairo and to spend some time teaching our children about the ancient roots of their faith here. 100% recommend!

We had a fabulous time with our guides. The tour began with a camel ride to the best view of all 9 pyramids! Simply breathtaking. Then we continued on to the complex to further explore. We purchased the VIP option. I'm very glad we did because it was worth every penny. The evening cruise was quite nice as well.

Walid was the best tour guide! It was like a professor teaching us very important details and answering all of our questions. He made learning fun ... And with humor. This was a very comprehensive view and a fairly long day.... Which is what we wanted. We even asked for a slight itinerary change and he accomodated. It was a good balance to Giza-focused tour, covering the history and religions in Cairo. We wanted to end in Khan el-Khalili and Walid and driver accomodated that. We were not forced (we were offered and accepted) to stop at a papyrus or perfume store but these were definitely "tour only" locations ....not in a common market. The quality was excellent but the costs higher then elsewhere in Cairo. We saw buses stop at other (similar) shops on the same block but otherwise not in a pedestrian area. The only thing that could have been better was the lunch. The food was good but I would have preferred a well-known local restaurant with options to choose off a menu (I wanted famous koushari). We were not able to pick items that we may have preferred. Honestly, I don't like buffets and I also would have liked to control what my family ordered, how much we were charged and to pay with a credit card. Paying for the meal, instead became a foreign currency transaction to the guide. I think this too is a common tour practice and not under control of our guide. There are many quick tours available for a few of the locations we saw but this allowed a much more detailed view and we appreciated the quality of Walid's knowledge. Ask for Walid by name!

This was a great tour. The tour guide is very friendly and considerate. The explanation from the tour is clear and concise, The whole journey went smoothly as planned due to good coordination between the tour guide and the driver who always arrived promptly as arranged.

The trip was fantastic! We were picked up right at our doorstep by a very friendly driver and guide, in an air conditioned van. Throughout the day, Deen our lovely guide, answered our questions and provided us with a world of knowledge on the pyramids, the sphinx, how papyrus paper was made and many, many artefacts in the museum. Before the museum we had a lovely lunch at a quiet restaurant that made fresh and delicious dishes. This is a child friendly tour - I had my two small kids with me aged 5 & 8 years old, who had a blast.
