What are people saying about Cairo

DiegoM, Oct 2026

Menna is the best tour guide in Egypt

Menna was honestly one of the best — if not the best — tour guides you could ask for in Cairo! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish: personable, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. She brought the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx to life with fascinating history and stories, while keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. It never felt like she was just reciting facts — she knew how to explain things in a way that made you want to keep learning and asking questions. Beyond her knowledge, Menna is simply a wonderful person to be around: warm, enthusiastic, funny, and attentive. She made the entire experience feel personal rather than like a standard organized tour. If you’re considering this tour, ask for Menna. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Nice experience and relaxing felucca!

Ahmed made our night incredible worth it! Felucca was the hit of the night tour. So relaxing to seal at the Nile river!!! Ahmed let us know about the history of all mosque and share with us a lot of details about it. He did his best for everyone to have a great experience and we really appreciate it. He texted us the exact time to pick us up and he was the exact time waiting for our tour.He also share some tips of how to do our shopping and accommodate prices at the bazaar. Dinner was delicious too!Overall worth it our night tour!!

Remarkable and Outstanding

Our experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end! Passant was incredibly kind, friendly, professional, and welcoming. What stood out to me the most was her extensive knowledge of Egyptian history and the way she explained everything so clearly and passionately. You could truly tell that she loves what she does and takes pride in sharing the history and culture of Egypt with others. She patiently answered every question we had and made sure we fully understood and appreciated each part of the experience. Most importantly, despite her knowledge and professionalism, she remained humble, genuine, and incredibly personable throughout the entire tour. I would highly recommend Passant to anyone visiting Egypt. She made our experience even more memorable, and I’m truly grateful for the wonderful experience she provided. 10/10 without a doubt! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alexandria Day Trip From Cairo

Surekha_S, Sept 2026

Day trip to Alexandria from Giza (Car & driver & audio guide) booked an english speaking guide laterguide later on

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.

Lovely way to see Alexandria

Great way to learn about Alexandria. Liaising with the tour company was easy. I did the tour on a Friday so the library was closed (I knew this) and it meant that there was less traffic. My driver Walid was lovely & showed me sites as we drive to Alexandria. We then met my guide, Sheri and she was so knowledgeable and gave a detailed history about each site. Good amount of time at each site and some free time. All up the tour was a little shorter due to less traffic and closed library, but that suited me well.

Visiting the pyramids of Giza with teens

We visit the pyramids of Giza for the 1st time and it was an outstanding experience. We had sharp pickup at our hotel, luxury car ride and our 1:1 tour guide, Mariam, who was extremely knowledgeable, caring and friendly. Our visit was without rush, no one disturb us and had the most memorable time

Amazing day full of great...

Amazing day full of great memories. Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and very informative. The only recommendation would be that you need to tell the tour guide to slow down the experience as they want you to visit papyrus /fragrance shops and workshops where you spend and they get a cut. The experience is good but you end up with less time at the actual places you booked to tour. Overall great day.

Osama and Moody changed my life!

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!

Our Day/Tour was AMAZING!!!

So booked this trip for Myself my wife and two kids who are real troopers by the way we did the pretty much all inclusive package and got linked up with our tour guide Nevin. . . Who is by far . . . One of the most hard working, knowledgeable and fun tour guide we've ever had. She was on time she was very knowledgeable about her history and her culture she knew all the ins and outs gave us advice on how to move and just all around a great tour guide. Now look it's not my first rodeo tour guides have vendors they deal with that's nothing new to us but Nevin IS AN ENTIRE VILLAGE BY HERSELF!!! LOL!!! WHATEVER WE ASKED FOR SHE KNEW WHERE TO GET IT SHES" NEVIN THE LINK!!" We had a blast man everything from the pyramids to the museum to local markets we burned her out (poor thing) but she enjoys what she does and you can tell FIVE STARS ALL AROUND WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR DAY/TOUR !!!

SanduniRuvindi_L, Jun 2026

Excellent tour!

I'm so glad I booked this tour, the whole process from booking and coordination until dropoff was hassle-free! First of all, I was in a bit of a time crunch so I mentioned that I cannot handle any delays, and as discussed pickup was on time. Pickup and dropoff is available from your hotel, which is really convenient! I'm especially thankful for Ahmed, my driver, who was friendly and flexible enough to fit my needs and interests. He also knew about the history and shared interesting facts along the journey. It was good to have someone to drive you around, I'm not new to solo traveling but I see now that it would have been difficult to find my way back to Cairo if I had just relied on Ubers. Towards the end of the tour we really bonded and he was even telling me about his family :)) <3 p.s: i see in some reviews that they were FORCED to visit shops and restaurants, but this was not the case for me. I simply said that I'm not interested.

Private Tour to Whales Valley & Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls in El Fayoum from Cairo

JamesI_M, Jun 2026

Desert, Dunes, Whales, and Waterfalls!

One of the best tours I’ve experienced in years! But please be cautioned if you are prone to motion sickness or cannot tolerate vehicular risk. Yes, you see whale skeletons in the desert, Lake Qarun, and a pretty albeit polluted waterfall. Yes, you get served a delightful meal in a desert camp (glamp) sight while feral cats wait to pick through your leftovers. But by far the most exciting part of this tour for me was the vehicle safari. Windy, bumpy, not for the faint of heart, but riding in the back while an experienced driver surfs a Land Cruiser down dunes is not an experience to be missed. I also got a chance to skate surf down a dune at the end. Accept it: you will probably wipe out. 😊 My guide was Fares and my drivers were Yusuf and Mohammed.Thanks guys!
