Top Cairo Day Trips

Ahmed was our guide and he went above and beyond! Every bit of the experience was great and we really loved getting to be inside the city and seeing it from a locals point of view! The meal was great. Ahmed truly helped us in the market with finding good deals and staying safe. We saw and did so much and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I highly suggest anyone traveling to Cairo, to book this tour! It’s a great way to see a lot and get a good feel for the city!! Felucca, mosque, meal, shopping!! So good!!

Had a great experience with Mohammad Wasir, we traveled with our 3 year old daughter and he was very accommodating and flexible with our start time, breaks during the intense heat and food which was very important to us We would recommend this experience plus the perfume / oud stop was an added experience and he ensured we were comfortable and relaxed throughout the day! Thanks Mohammad!

This tour was absolutely amazing—an easy 11/10 overall. I booked the “All Inclusive & GEM” option, and it was completely worth it. I was traveling alone and initially worried that I might get bored, feel rushed, or be pressured to buy things during the tour. What happened was the complete opposite, mainly because of my incredible tour guide, Ahmed Elsayed. Ahmed was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He followed my pace perfectly—never too slow and never rushed. Whenever I asked a question, he immediately knew the answer. At both the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, he explained the history through interesting stories rather than simply listing facts. This made the experience much more enjoyable and helped me pay attention to details I might otherwise have missed. Most importantly, Ahmed treated me like a friend, so I never felt as though I was touring alone. He suggested the best locations and poses for photos and patiently took many pictures of me. He never rushed me, and the entire experience felt like exploring the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a knowledgeable friend rather than following a standard organized tour. There was also absolutely no pressure to buy anything. When I said I was not interested in shopping, Ahmed told me that it was my time and that I should spend it however I wanted. The pyramids and GEM part was honestly 15/10, especially because of Ahmed Elsayed. The ATV experience was also fantastic and deserves 10/10. I was given time to ride independently and enjoy it at my own pace. When the ATV guide rode with me, we safely performed a few exciting stunts that I definitely would not have attempted alone. He clearly knew what he was doing, and it was both surprising and extremely fun. For lunch, they asked whether I wanted a specific type of food or preferred an open buffet. I chose the buffet. The food itself was not the best, but there was a good variety of options. I would rate the buffet restaurant around 6/10, although I appreciated being given the choice to eat there or select another type of restaurant. The Nile dinner cruise was enjoyable and deserves around 8/10. The entertainment included a singer, a dance group performing short shows to different songs, a belly dancer, and finally a tanoura performance. The food was not exceptional, but there was a good variety to choose from. I also have to mention our excellent driver, Ahmed Ayman. Driving in Cairo can be intense, and after taking several Uber rides where I genuinely felt nervous, I immediately noticed the difference with Ahmed. He was calm, highly skilled, and drove very safely. I felt comfortable throughout the entire journey. The car was clean, in excellent condition, and had very effective air conditioning. The driver and transportation experience was an easy 11/10. I highly recommend this tour, especially the “All Inclusive & GEM” option. Ahmed Elsayed and Ahmed Ayman made all the difference. If you can request Ahmed Elsayed as your guide and Ahmed Ayman as your driver, you can rest assured that your tour will be safe, informative, memorable, and incredibly fun.

Absolutely fantastic tour of the pyramids and sphynx. Our guide, Nada, was exceptionally knoweldgable and overly patient with my child's endless questions. We had a wonderful time exploring the pyramids at our own pace with great history lessons on the pyramids and Egypt. Nada's expertise extended beyond the pyramids as she answered my overly inquisitive and excited child's exhaustive questions. Thank you! This was exactly the tour we were looking for to see the pyramids and the sphynx.

We had such a wonderful day trip to Alexandria with Karim and our driver Ahmet. Everything was organised perfectly from pickup to drop-off, and the whole experience felt comfortable, fun, and full of fascinating history. Karim was an excellent Egyptologist guide ,incredibly knowledgeable, clever, funny, and passionate about Alexandria’s Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history. He explained everything in such an interesting and easy way and showed us both the beautiful modern side of Alexandria and the deeper historical and cultural side too. As Albanians living in Britain, we especially loved hearing the historical connections he shared with us. We visited Montaza Palace, Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, the Catacombs, and many other amazing places. Lunch was lovely, the transport was comfortable, and Ahmet was so patient, kind, and friendly throughout the day. Our group included people from America, Germany, China, and the UK, and Karim made everyone feel included and welcomed. We learned so much while laughing all day. Truly one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had in Egypt. Highly recommended!

We had a truly wonderful time on this trip. Everything ran smoothly and super efficiently, even though it was a very long day! All the sites we visted were amazing - especially Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Our guide, Dina, was exceptional - knowledgeable, informative, helpful and very pleasant. Unforgetteable!

Having a skilled private driver (Mohamed) and knowledgeable guide (Wagih) made a huge difference in what we saw and learned. We covered the main churches, synagogue, citadels, and mosques plus other sites. Appreciated their flexibility, they accommodated our pacing/request to go explore and we never felt rushed. Dreaded the hassle to see all the sights on our own so we’re so glad we booked this tour.

We had the great pleasure of Sayed and his driver, apologies for forgetting your name my friend. They were on time, organising things from start to end. We had two children with us, and they adapted well. Sayed's knowledge on the topic is vast, but he also engaged in personal conversation, which added to the bonding and enjoyment. 5 out of 5 from beginning to end. Thanks guys!
