Great Cairo Airport Immigration Navigation & Hotel Transport.
Booked through Viator. Great Airport Rep guide through immigration/customs & luggage claim, then to friendly, on-time driver in clean AC mini-bus, short walk to outdoor parking lot next door, so ensure you have rolling luggage. Good ride to hotel. Driver stopped at bridge overlooking the Nile for light picture taking. Airport representative was Subhi, driver Khalaf. Good communication through WhatsApp app by manager, Muhammad Khadira. Highly recommended, would pre-book GEM for airport transport again to avoid crazy taxi wait & haggling. Thank you, great job. 👍

We booked a car ride and it was better than expected. Hesham Zyzo was our driver and he was so genuine, kind and knowledgeable. He was on time and never made us hurry or wait. We were glad to spent time with him. He was so kind he bought us food and water. He also chatted with us in a cafe. Whoever met him in his life is lucky :)

The tour of the Coptic...
The tour of the Coptic neighborhood and Old Town was one of the most interesting parts of our visit to Cairo. Our guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and shared many stories about the history and culture of the area, which made the experience much more meaningful.
Walking through the old streets and visiting the historic churches was truly special. The guide Bisho was friendly, patient, and made the tour feel very personal. We really enjoyed it.

Wonderful tour of Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis
As a family of four including two children we spent the day with Hassan (our amazing guide) and Sabry (our excellent driver) exploring Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. Hassan was friendly and deeply knowledgeable about all the monuments and was happy to share that knowledge with us. He was happy to go at our pace and was great with the kids. Sabry drove us carefully and safely in his comfortable minibus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was superb!

Great tour of Coptic Christian history in Cairo
Hazem was an excellent, friendly guide who taught me a great deal about Coptic history in Old Cairo. I learned about the Holy Family's stay in Egypt, and about other historical events in different Christian communities. I was given as much time as I needed to explore and to take photos, and I never felt rushed.
The only thing we didn't see was the Synagogue Ben Ezra, which was advertised in the Itinerary section of the Viator page. However, it is not in the Overview section, so maybe there is a miscommunication between the tour compan(ies) and Viator. I honestly forgot about it until afterward, and I don't believe that my guide was aware, so I don't want to fault him for it.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Thank you Hazem!

Viator arranged Tours Emo...
Viator arranged Tours Emo which is a great company. Omar at Emo kept us updated when the driver would be at hotel to pick up with pictures of the vehicle. It's a good vehicle with 3 rows of seating and 4 of us had plenty of room. It simply made things easier. Walid, the driver handled everything very well and we enjoyed his company. It's a wonderful experience to visit Alexandria and we had wonderful time with good company.

Bishoy was a great tour guide
Bishoy was our tour guide for this trip. He was very knowledgeable, kind and did what we wanted to do vs what the tour stated. He took us to a restaurant we would prefer rather than what the tour had listed and we really enjoyed that. We went to different shops perfumery, spices and then to Khan E Khalil Market.
Definitely recommend Bishoy as he demeaned was very sophisticated and respectful unlike the other 4 tour guides we faced!

Perfect tour during a long layover!
What a great way to see Cairo during a layover! Landed at around 6 a.m., got our visa (NOTE: if you’re flying EgyptAir, they offered a free visa at the EgyptAir Transit Office, which is on the right as you make your way towards passport control, instead of paying one of the banks), then we went outside to meet our guide. The exit of the airport is chaos but we found our tour guide, Mahmoud Hoka, pretty quickly and we were on our way! Mahmoud and our driver, Amr, were fantastic. We headed straight to the pyramids, got some great pictures, had a camel ride, walked around and went to the Sphinx. We then went to a couple stores (no real pressure to buy anything, but we got some stuff), had lunch, then finished at the museum to see the King Tut exhibit). And then Amr got us back to the airport in time for our connecting flight. We can fully recommend this tour and our guide. Thanks for the unforgettable day!

Safe, easy, affordable ride from Cairo Airport
Our driver was friendly and prompt. He also helped us locate my husband who landed in a different terminal than me. Note - there will be two “drivers” in the car for this one. There was a person driving and a second person coordinating with me and chatting us up during the drive. Make sure to tip both people.

I recommend Viator
Booking for transfers in advance of my trip was super easy. I received confirmation easily and reminders a few days before the transfer plus phone numbers to contact in case of inquiries or changes. This is the third time I used Viator and am very pleased with their service.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
There’s no need to spend your Cairo layover in the airport when you could tour the pyramids, shop at a local bazaar, or admire ancient architecture in Egypt’s capital. Cairo layover tours include transportation to and from the airport. So, even if you have just four hours between flights, it’s easy and convenient to head into the city to check out some of Cairo’s key sights and experiences with a knowledgeable guide.
