Top Cairo Day Trips

Nada was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and an amazing guide. I was very fortunate to have a private trip so was given the option of doing or not doing activities. Overall I had the most amazing experience I felt safe and understood at all times. An experience I will never forget.

A great experience. Ibrahim Allam was our guide and he was amazing, so knowledgeable, articulate and funny. Would give 6 stars if possible. The driver, Faisal, made sure we were comfortable and we felt very safe, even in Cairo traffic. We highly recommend this tour and these fine gentlemen.

We had an excellent day trip from Cairo to Alexandria and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Our tour guide was absolutely brilliant — very kind, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable throughout the day and shared a wealth of information about Alexandria’s Greek history, culture, and significant landmarks. The tour was very well recommended, and we learnt a great deal along the way. It was a fantastic opportunity to discover more about Egypt and experience another of its fascinating cities. The lunch was also nice and provided a welcome break during a busy day of sightseeing. Although it is a long day, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the time. The combination of interesting sights, informative commentary, and a wonderful tour guide made it a memorable trip. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo who wants to explore Alexandria and learn more about Egypt’s rich history. An excellent experience from start to finish!

This was an amazing opportunity to learn about the history of Islamic Mosques, Coptic Orthodox churches and their history. Mahmoud Solomon was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and welcomed my questions and curiosity. I came away with a basic understanding of the history and the important figures who played a pivotal role in forming its foundations. Mahmoud tailored the activities to my interests and went the extra mile by pointing out the best vantage points for photos. He took photos for me with my phone. This was very helpful as I was solo.

Had the best time with Nashat on the private tour. He was very informative across the pyramids, sphinx, and the GEM. Not only did I learn a lot but he took the time to answer any questions or make any extra stops I wanted. I highly recommend the experience. Never had a safety concern either as I traveled solo.

I had booked a day trip for Aug 31, 2026 from Giza to Alexandria (only car and driver with audio guide). I was apprehensive and was not sure what we were up for. As soon as I had finished my booking the tour operator recommended that having a tour guide is beneficial and I decided to book an english speaking guide. I was relieved when we were contacted the day before with details of the driver etc. The car ( large 12 seater vehicle) with driver came to pick us from our hotel. Our guide met our group in Alexandria and took us around. Unfortunately I can't remember his name however he was excellent. We had a wonderful trip. The guide took us to some places which were not on the list. We visited the Royal Palace green house and it was beautiful. There was an entrance ticket however it was worth it. At the end of the tour, we ended up booking our lunch through our guide. The restaurant by the sea was very good and so was the food. We also met a wonderful young couple from Turkey and we had a great time together. I never used to write reviews however I now realize it is important to provide a review so that future tourists are well informed and not apprehensive. We had a wonderful time. I would book them again without hesitation. I highly recommend tour guides. Mahmoud my contact was excellent in clarifying the details and making our visit a memorable one. Thanks Mahmoud.

The trip was quite well managed, Mostafa our guide was exceptional, very friendly, guided us throughout, we had amazing and intriguing conversations regarding the pyramids, the pharaohs, the Egyptians and so much more. It was really fun and would love to someday be back and have an extended tour guided by Mostafa for other activities and historical places in Egypt/Cairo.

Osama is a professional,knowledgeable,respectful,responsible,kind, genuine,gentleman. He made my tour even more magnificent. I felt like I belonged. I felt like family. Please ask for Osama. Moody my driver was professional and kind. A very reliable and respectful man. I wish they were truly my blood. Osama explained the ancient Egyptian history and everybody knows him and always has positive things to say about him. I felt safe as a solo female traveler and they both were a true genuine gentleman. I am still in awe. Osama took over 50 pictures and taught me how to pose. He also connected me with wonderful local spots. They were quality spaces. I fell in love with Egypt!
