What are people saying about Cairo

Jeanne_M, Apr 2026

Awesome Private Nile Cruise for 2!

Through Viator, I booked a lovely private Felucca sail boat lunch cruise for my husband and I. We were picked up at our hotel right on time, in a clean, well kept A/C sedan & brought straight to the marina. Due to high winds affecting sailboats that day, instead of canceling our booking, our amazing Tour Guide, Ahmed Khairy, gave us private use of an alternative-a semi-covered motorboat, still with private lunch, baklava+ desserts, water, teas (hibiscus+), smoothies and fresh rose petals to boot! This boat can host about 4-6 tables of guests, but we had the boat all to ourselves with our guide, Captain Saeed and his First Mate. The chicken skewers over rice, sauces, salad, pita, hummus lumch was deliciosly prepared by chef Ashraf & his two lady chefs. Before our cruise, Ahmed assisted with great photos of us on the cute novelty car boats at the marina. Our Nile Cruise was calm, quiet, safe & steady, beautiful breeze with locsl sites pointed out, as well as more pix with different poses/backgrounds assisted by Ahmed. He was absolutely attenrive to all our needs throughout the lunch, the 2 hour cruise and after in the drive back to our hotel. There are restrooms at the marina, with an attendant, in case you’d like to use it prior to boating. There is also a smoothie/drink stand. We had a great time & are super glad we booked something nice & private after days of bustling tours between Cairo & Luxor.where it was sweltering. We highly tecommend this nice tour & would return with family & friends, maybe try the nreakfast or dinner versuon as well. Thanks so much for a wonderful time, Ahmed!

Exceptional Cairo Experience with an Outstanding Guide, Bisho

We had an amazing experience with Bisho as our tour guide—truly one of the highlights of our time in Cairo. He is incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Islamic and Coptic Cairo to life in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. What really stood out was his professionalism and flexibility. He adapted the tour to our pace and interests, answered every question with patience, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire experience. His sense of humor and positive energy made the day even more enjoyable. Bisho clearly goes above and beyond to make the tour special, and it shows. From the beautiful mosques to the vibrant Khan el Khalili market, everything felt seamless and well-organized. Highly recommend this tour—and especially Bisho—if you want a memorable, insightful, and stress-free experience in Cairo!

O.u.t.s.t.a.n.d.i.n.g!!!...

O.U.T.S.T.A.N.D.I.N.G!!! My husband and I booked this activity on our first day in Egypt and it hands down exceeded any expectation my imagination could conjure. Mohamad Hisham was our guide and our driver was Hassa; they picked us up from our hotel right on schedule. After all 6 travelers were picked up we traveled through Fayoum. Along the way Mohamad shared cultural insights about the area and the people who lived there. Once we arrived in Wady El Rayan, we hit the Sand dunes by 4x4 and that was an adventure! Our Sand Bashing driver Muhammad (a different person) made sure we felt how wild and free the desert can be; at times it felt like riding wild waves of sand. Next we went Sand boarding, rode camels by a body of water that led to a WATERFALL. If you didn't ride camels you could ride a horse or go on a boat ride. We then took panoramic views on top of mountains by an oasis and concluded our time in the desert by having BBQ in a Bedouin nomadic campsite. They offered to take our photos while we lived in the moment and even guided us on some creative poses. I thought that was the end of the tour but we then traveled back to Kairo and learned how papyrus paper was made as well as Egyptian incense and perfumes (Bonus activities!) Mohamad, Hassa and the rest of the team were so hospitable and incredible. What added to the experience was that they each seemed to really enjoy the work they did and had strong rapport with each other which made the day really fun. I could not recommend this tour enough and am so glad we got to experience it!

Day Trip To Luxor From Cairo By Plane

Ventsislav_G, Jan 2026

Well-organized tour with great guide, but weak communication and food

Overall, we were satisfied with the excursion. We were picked up from the hotel at 3:30 AM and the driver was punctual. However, until the very last moment we did not know who would pick us up or what vehicle it would be, despite asking several times — including shortly before 3:30 AM. The communication definitely needs improvement. In Luxor, the driver welcomed us with a sign from Emo Tours Egypt. We were taken to all the scheduled places, but overall there was not enough time to truly enjoy each site. At the restaurant, we ate the food not because it was tasty, but because we were hungry. I would honestly prefer the tour to cost €615 instead of €600, but to include a genuinely good restaurant with quality food. The waiter greeted us wearing an extremely dirty shirt, stained with food and drinks, which made a very poor impression. The only thing that was actually good was the baklava. At the alabaster souvenir shop, we were asked $25 for a small candle holder. We did not buy anything there. Later, we bought the same items at Khan el-Khalili in Cairo for $5 each. We are truly grateful to the driver, Hossam Al-Aqsar — a very kind and professional person — and to the Egyptologist/tour guide Mohammed El Tahibe, who explained everything in great detail. Tip for travelers: buy your own water (it is cheap, around 10 EGP) and bring it with you. The three tombs in the Valley of the Kings are more than sufficient; the Tomb of Tutankhamun is very small and not worth it, as all artifacts are now in the Grand Egyptian Museum.

Cairo Food Tour

Elliot_Y, Jan 2026

Great tour of Egyptian food and local life!

We had a great time with Muhamad on our food tour. He showed us some foods that typical Egyptian families would eat and gave us an amazing tour that really gave us an idea of typical life in Cairo. We particularly loved that the tour included driving through the bazaar and through the neighborhoods that most tour guides would skip; It really gave a unique perspective on Cairo that I don't think we would have otherwise experienced. The lunch restaurant had a truly amazing view of the pyramids. Overall, for the price and the experience, this was an excellent way to spend a day in Cairo!

Cairo VIP Guided Shopping Tour Khan El-Khalili Market with Lunch

Radhika_M, Jan 2026

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!

Visiting old Egyptian Museum Citadel and Old market of Khan

Bret_R, Oct 2025

A fantastic cultural learning experience.

Our tour guide Ahmed was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The driver Sayed bravely and safely piloted us through the crazy Cairo traffic. I think the highlight of the trip was the visit to the two mosques in the citadel, along with the friendly discussion with Ahmed about the cultural and religious beliefs and practices. A wonderful learning experience. As expected, the Egyptian museum was fascinating, made even better with Ahmed’s insightful explanation of what we were seeing. The Khan el-Khalili Bazaar was interesting, but pretty much full of the Chinese mass-produced trinkets you can find at any tourist spot. The highlight here was enjoying a Turkish coffee break with Ahmad and watching the crowds go by.

Full Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo

Onyi_A, Sep 2025

I would highly recommend

Our guide, Isaac, and driver, Hamza, were both friendly and welcoming throughout the tour. Isaac was especially knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and informed at every stop. We explored the rich history of Coptic and Islamic Cairo, visiting remarkable sites like the the Hanging Church and Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Isaac also kindly helped us capture memorable moments by taking photos along the way.
