Top Egypt Day Trips - page 2

It suited us that the excursion started at 7:00, not very early like most tours. The drive took about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The car was clean and the driver drove carefully. We spent two hours at the location and the driver dropped us off in front of the desired restaurant in Aswan. I recommend this tour, the price and service were very good; other tours were much more expensive, even when I tried to arrange it through the accommodation owner. I was a little worried whether the driver would pick us up at the accommodation, because it was written somehow vaguely on the website, i.e. some meeting points are mentioned.

Day was good overall with many sites visited. My only reservation would be the Driver pick up situation as they went to the wrong Hotel first. The local Tour guide was informative and allowed me free time at each point. The Driver’s technique was quite erratic on the way back and he used his phone a lot so be buckled up to ensure safety. It was a really good day and I learned a lot just be mindful of wearing your seatbelt in the car.

Absolutely the best tour guy we have experienced throughout all of Egypt with our guide Aladdin and his Driver hamdy. Our guide really made our family feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience and even came out of his way to buy us breakfast on request. I wished our guy was with us throughout our entire journey throughout Egypt. Unfortunately, he was a fixed to services in Cairo. The company overall seems. Very well organized. I would look plan out another trip with them if possible in the future

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.

We had an incredible and very packed day exploring Luxor’s West Bank. The itinerary included the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and several other fascinating stops. Both the driver and the guide were great. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, sharing rich historical context and answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The pace was full but well-organised, allowing us to see so much in just one day without feeling too rushed.

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!

The tour was fantastic. We only stopped once there and back for a quick break. There is a toilet on the bus as well. We had 1 hour and 40 minutes to explore the 2 temples because we didnt do the guide (tell your guide that once your all in there so you dont have to wait and he will let you go and tell you when to be back). That was more than enough time! When the tip envelope gets passed around on the bus back, its not mandatory BUT your guides/driver deserves a tip because they are up at 3am everyday doing this and its hard work and they do a great job and are super friendly. So even if you tip 100egp($2.) Thats better than nothing. The bus was back in Aswan by 4:30pm, but it also was the people on the bus who didnt come back on time from viewing the temples so I blame them. I would suggest not having to leave Aswan before 6pm just to be safe on time. Thanks again!

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.
