Top Cairo Private Sightseeing Tours

I liked the experience a lot. The museum is beautiful and everything we saw was super interesting. Our guide Abdul accompanied us and we really enjoyed his company and his explanations. You can tell his passion for what he does and we liked that a lot. I 100% recommend taking this guided tour, otherwise you would miss all the explanations which are very interesting.

We had a wonderful experience with Mr Hossam as our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, polite, well-mannered, helpful and cooperative. He explained everything so well and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every moment of our tour. His friendly attitude, professionalism and willingness to help made our experience even more enjoyable and memorable. He was always approachable and happy to assist us whenever needed. A big thank you to Mr Hossam for making our tour so pleasant, smooth and comfortable. We truly appreciate his efforts and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent tour guide. Definitely deserves five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a very pleasant tour. My husband and I were taken to the various locations by a great driver in a comfortable air conditioned car. We also had the opportunity to stop at three different artisan shops- for jewelry, papyrus and fragrance oil, which worked out well since I had been wanting to purchase a cartouche necklace but a bit unsure of where would be reputable to do so. Lunch was a buffet, which had a lot of options, and the camel ride, while quite brief was good. Our tour guide, Anan, was a highly educated Egyptologist and spoke excellent English. She was also able to share some interesting stories about Egyptian culture and her experiences growing up in the country, and she made us feel comfortable spending the day with her. I do wish the camel ride would have been longer- it was so fun to be riding through the desert- but it seems all the various tours are doing essentially the same camel riding stop, which is mostly a photo op, and we did get some great photos. We had the opportunity to go inside the step pyramid, bent pyramid and red pyramid. We did not have a chance to go into either of the Great pyramids, so I am not sure if that is an option- although our guide said there is really nothing to see inside either. I think it is worth it to book the private tour because you are not straining to hear what the guide is saying, nor getting lost in a crowd.

We booked this half-day tour of the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx, and it turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip to Cairo! Every single aspect of the experience was top-notch. First and foremost, our guide Rania was supreme. From the moment we met her, she was lovely, incredibly friendly, and possessed incredible English. Her depth of knowledge about the history and antiquities was massively impressive, bringing every site to life. She was also wonderfully patient, taking her time with us and never making us feel rushed. She is also an amazing photographer! I would specifically request her every single time! Rania also went above and beyond to look out for us. She personally ensured we got the best camels for our ride and expertly navigated us so that we didn't get ripped off at the tourist shops. Logistically, everything was seamless. The transport vehicles were modern, clean, and comfortable, and the drivers were professional and friendly throughout. A truly lovely, stress-free, and memorable overall experience. Do not hesitate to book this tour—and ask for Rania!

The tour we took was amazing, Mohammed was an excellent guide who was exceptionally knowledgeable on the sites that we visited…and had even dug at them as well which added to the knowledge and as an archaeologist myself it was great to listen to his talks on the monuments. We had previously been recommended to visit the Serapeum at Saqqara by another tour guide and Mohammed agreed to add it to the tour, we just paid the difference and it was amazing. The bent pyramid and red pyramid were also great, even the tunnels to the interiors were exciting and less busy than the ones at the pyramids of Giza the day before (still hot tho). The travelling around was done well and the ac in the car was an added bonus. We had forgotten the tour included a trip to Memphis to an open air museum which was great (prepare to haggle) and it was finished with a rather late but rewarding lunch back in Giza overlooking the pyramids. Overall amazing experience and would happily recommend!

Nashat is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the history, architecture, science, and art of the pyramids of Giza and the Great Egyptian Museum. He was very kind and patient to us, and he was very accommodating when we were getting exhausted. He was very honest about what to do and what not to do as a tourist and he gave us tips on how to handle vendors. He was on time and always on the dot with all the activities. Would definitely recommend Nashat! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great way to learn about Alexandria. Liaising with the tour company was easy. I did the tour on a Friday so the library was closed (I knew this) and it meant that there was less traffic. My driver Walid was lovely & showed me sites as we drive to Alexandria. We then met my guide, Sheri and she was so knowledgeable and gave a detailed history about each site. Good amount of time at each site and some free time. All up the tour was a little shorter due to less traffic and closed library, but that suited me well.
