For the price, this tour...
For the price, this tour is definitely worth it! It was one of the few tours I did in a group and the site is pretty awesome. It’s a long drive there and back, so be prepared for that. The stop at a coffee shop is meh, but you’re in the middle of the desert at like 6am - beggars can’t be choosers. The guide was good - it wasn’t too long, but added to the experience. There was also sufficient time to explore and take pictures. If you want a ton of history, you may want a private guide. But if you want something quick and dirty and/or focus more on the visuals, this tour will do the trick. The car guide wrangled us as needed, but was there basically for logistics. I’m glad I went and would recommend to others - met some cool people on the tour too.

This full-day tour with...
This full-day tour with Bassant as our guide, was the absolute wonderful. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English. They shared fascinating history about the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx while ensuring we had a great time.
The private transport was clean and air-conditioned, and the driver navigated Cairo's busy traffic with ease. Lunch was delicious and included in a nice local spot.
I felt safe, well-cared for, and learned so much. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of ancient Egypt in one day!

Our guide was great, she...
Our guide was great, she took her time explaining the mosque to us and giving us a history lesson about the area before we walked through the market. She showed us some places she recommended for souvenirs and we found all we needed. We ended the tour trying a local Egyptian dish of Koshary. Thank you, Hana!

Highly Recommend
Our guide Wagih was a very good guide. I enjoyed everthing about the tour. The information provided was the perfect amount of information. We went on a Saturday and it turns out that was the best time to go. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in the Coptic Churches.

Reem is very Informative of the tour. Even offered to take photos of us with no hesitations.. She even offers if we feel shy :) Egypt has still a lot of history needed to be seen in the future. This tour is one of them :) Thank you! Mohamed the Driver is really nice too he even showed us the best ice cream shop in cairo before we head back to hotel :) That was indeed a needed one for hot weather in June 🧐

We had a great time...
We had a great time visiting Abu Simbel. Our driver was very professional and courteous. We stopped at a nice reststop on the way there and back for a coffee break. The car was comfortable and air conditioned. When we arrived we had plenty of time to explore on our own at our own pace. Definitely recommend!

Very enjoyable tour with a great tour Guide Amr
On the day we were due to take this tour we were contacted and asked if we could defer to the following evening because the traffic was so bad because of a state visit. This actually suited us so we agreed. We were picked up as arranged the following evening by our tour guide Amr at our hotel. We then went on to pick up another guest, who truned out to be someone we got on well with. Amr was a great tour guide, fun and informative and suggested changes in the original itinerary to ensure we got the best out of our experience. He delivered our evening in a friendly but professional manner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this tour and partiuclarly our guide Amr.

Friendly and helpful driver
Alaa (Aladdin) was an extremely patient and friendly driver. I did the half day tour to Saqqara/Dhashur/Memphis and he took me to each site and more comfortably and safely. I'd definitely recommend.
He did ask me at one point if I wanted to visit a carpet museum, to which I replied "no" and that was that. (I'd read reviews from some people saying they were driven round tourist trap shops).
Would definitely recommend, just make sure you know what you want to see and where you want to go - Alaa's English was quite poor (we communicated with Google translate), so consider this a personal driver/Uber as opposed to a tour.
Sidenote: I only paid for car+driver, there are also car+driver+guide options but I cannot speak for those

The best Duo for an amazing day!
We had a fantastic day visiting all the pyramids! Ibrahim Allam was the best, if you have him as your guide count it as your lucky day, he is extremely enthusiastic about the pyramids and the history of Egypt, it truly rubs off on you, any questions we had he answered very well and explained everything we were seeing in great detail, I cannot fault him at all, genuinely a lovely guy too! Our driver Haytham was also fantastic and extremely attentive, this duo is unstoppable, as I said if you are lucky enough to have them then get ready for a day to remember!

Full Day Tour Visiting Coptic and Islamic Cairo
Great day out experience the cultural and spiritual places of the old city in Coptic Cairo. This was a private tour and my guide Heba Was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly and made the tour very interesting and also had all the answers for all my questions. I throughly enjoyed it and it’s definitely a must do if you want to know more about the holy sites in the city

An unforgetabble day in Fayoum
This experience is relaxed, personal, and driven by Ahmed’s bright, engaging personality. From the start, his energy sets the tone for the entire day. He is warm, upbeat, and genuine, which makes the experience feel less like a tour and more like an adventure shared with a friend.
The day is not rushed or overly structured. Ahmed encourages curiosity, conversation, and laughter, creating an easy, joyful atmosphere while still sharing meaningful context about Fayoum, the desert, and the whale fossils. The drive from Cairo becomes part of the experience, filled with good energy and connection.
Visiting the whale fossils was fascinating. Lunch at a Bedouin rest area in the desert is a true highlight, offering a peaceful break in a beautiful setting.
Travelers should know that much of what makes this experience special is Ahmed himself. His positivity, sense of humor, and genuine hospitality leave you feeling energized and cared for throughout the day. If you value a guide with a vibrant spirit who creates a memorable, personable experience, this tour is an excellent choice.

Really good guide
It was a very interesting experience. Our guide was fantastic. He was great at storytelling and had a lot of knowledge.
He was also very open about his own experiences and opinions and it was a great eye opener for foreigners like us. We visited several churches and a synagogue which carry a massive amount of history.
I am not sure if it’s mentioned in the itinerary, to get to the last church you have to drive through the so called ‘garbage city’ - which is not for everyone- and so was visiting the city of the dead - but we are glad we did that as it’s a fascinating part of Cairo. Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was William - very knowledgeable!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Egypt is home to thousands of years of history. Even if you’re visiting for sun, sea, and sand, the top Egypt day trips make it easy to enjoy the nation’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed wonders. Cairo offers pyramids aplenty, plus mosques, bazaars, museums, and Coptic churches, while Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel are famous for tombs and temples. Alexandria delivers catacombs, gardens, and Greco-Roman ruins. Best of all? A professional driver spares you the nation’s crazy traffic, while a guide lets you skip the research altogether.
