We were happy with the trip. It was long and exhausting but we covered all we wanted, had enough time, and it was comfortable. The guide and driver were both very nice and adapted to our preferences. The group was small.

Fantastic experience, a full on day but worth every second of it! Our guide Fahmi and our driver made us feel safe and gave us a great insight into the history of Egypt. The food was amazing and catered for vegan diet. Excellent experience!!

    Mr Fahmy was the best guide

    Joren_H, Feb 2026
    It was a very safe trip because of mr Fahmy. He knew every best spot en a lot of short cuts so we never had to wait for something. Very well organized!

    An amazing 1 day trip to Cairo with the best guide, Fahme

    A fantastic tour!

    We had such a good experience with our tour. Everything ran smoothly and our tour guide worked very hard to make sure we had a great day. He was very knowledgeable and shared information for each site and experience. We are two adults but there were families with kids in our group, and our guide was great with the kids, too - made sure they were included and engaged with them in a positive manner. I was skeptical about doing a round trip flight to Cairo from HRG, but it was so easy and I'm so glad we got to see Cairo

    Full day but worth it

    A very long day, but very rewarding. Guide was excellent and took us see the things we wanted to see. Everything was organised perfectly

    Great day out

    Sandra_B, Apr 2025
    It's a long day and can feel a bit rushed, though we did manage to see everything we wanted to. Glad we paid for flights, wouldn't want to do this on a coach tour.

    Splendid experience. Pick up time was communicated to me a day before as already stated while booking the activity. Pick up came as scheduled, flight to Cairo and back to hurghada was brilliant. The tour guide was waiting to collect us at the airport in Cairo. Fahme was a good guide, teaching us about ancient Egyptian history. We had to explore old Cairo. Indeed it was a fully packed day! Highly recommend this activity

    Cairo by plane small tour

    ML_M, Feb 2025
    Amazing trip to Cairo. Well worth getting the flight as otherwise 7 hour there and back bu toad!! Early pick up of 0230 and not bavk till 10pm. Get a lunchbox from your hotel as lunch us included which was really good but its handy for snack times. We went to a papyrus shop and a perfume shop. You dont have to buy anything its not overly pushy. We didnt buy and werent made to feel bad. It was interesting visiting them but they werent mentioned on the tour. Going in a small group was great as it was easy to gather everyone back from stops. Wiuld highly recommend

    Wonderful day in Cairo

    Milda_R, Feb 2025
    The tour was amazing. The agency takes great care of the details, everything is sent the day before: information, airline tickets, contact numbers. No delays, no rush. Our guide Khaled is wonderful, he anticipates everybody's wishes, he has a sense of humour, his English is good, so you can understand everything. He showed us all the sights and more during the day. Thank you very much for a wonderful day. I recommend for everyone this tour who wants to spend in small group with professional guide and see the historical places without hurry and stress.

    Exceptional

    Mario was great. Service was exceptional! Pickup and dropoff were punctual. Lunch was good. Communication was great as well Thank you!

    Great, save, wonderfull, will do this again

    Zefania_C, Apr 2022
    We had a wonderfull time. Enjoyed the private trip with our guide Tharwat. Whom speaks very well English. Couldn't visit the bazaar unfortunetly. Wouldn't been that easy also with a baby and 2 under the age of 10y kids. So we didn't mind at that time. The driver was such a great guy. Told us a lot about the political history and the new president Sisi. Whom keeps the land save. We felt so privilage to have both gents with us on this tour. Thank you both so much!

    Very good

    Elena_T, Dec 2025
    Fantastic experience! We had booked a trip and everything was perfectly planned. We got our airline tickets sent via WhatsApp, and the transfer to the airport was also well arranged. When we arrived in Cairo, our guide waited for us and took us under his wings. The day was long but our guide was fantastic and made sure we got the best out of our time. The only drawback was the food, which did not quite live up to our expectations. But it did not affect our overall satisfaction with the trip and we would definitely recommend this trip to others.

    An exciting day in Cairo!!!

    Dorte_B, Oct 2025
    It was an unforgettable day for us from the first second to the last minute. The entire day, from pick-up service to sightseeing to dinner break, was perfect! Our Gide "Hossein"er is a very friendly, helpful, social and super funny city guide , who in 20minutes in an educational, interesting and funny talk conveyed the 5000 years history of Egypt.We couldn't get out of the astonishment and bang again a surprise! If you are looking for thrills, head to the road traffic of Cairo! Many thanks for this wonderful day in Cairo to Hossein and our driver!

    Beautiful experience

    Arianna_L, Oct 2025
    Wonderful experience. Excellent assistance also at the organizational level. We left early in the morning by plane from Hurghada to Cairo airport, where a guide waited for us who accompanied us throughout the tour. As the group is made up of Italians and English, everything was explained in both languages. We saw pyramids, sphinx and Egyptian museum, all accompanied by an interesting explanation, perfect and full of curiosity. After lunch we concluded the tour with a boat ride on the Nile (optional) to see the city from another perspective. In the evening we returned to Hurghada always by plane. Ideal for those who want to do the same day experience. I really recommend it:)

    Absolut schöner Tagesausflug

    Manfred_W, Apr 2025
    War alles super organisiert - einzig der Besuch der Parfum-Manufaktur war etwas mühsam - ansonsten war alles flexibel gestaltet und wir hatten einen super schönen Tag. Schon im Vorfeld wurden wir via WhatsApp kontaktiert und sämtliche Telefonnummer der relevanten Personen genannt. Sind vom Flughafen direkt zu den Pyramiden, daher waren noch keine Menschenmassen vorort. Danach war ein kurzer aber unangenehmer besuch einer Parfum Manufaktur. Man wurde zwar freundlich begrüßt, aber nachdem wir nichts kaufen wollten, war dann die Freundlichkeit auch schon wieder weg. Danach gab es Mittagessen Dann ging es zu einer Papyrus-fabrik Das ägyptische Museum war natürlich auch ein Highlight. Zum Schluss war dann noch eine nilfahrt am Programm. Da wir dann noch etwas Zeit hatten, hat unser Guide angeboten, noch einen Spaziergang durch die Altstadt von Kairo zu machen. Sehr empfehlenswert. War also wirklich ein gelungener Tag! Vielen Dank dafür

    Magique

    Estelle_C, Mar 2025
    Excellente journee .. très bien organisée un guide parlant français simple et passionné a l ecoute et très gentil et compétent repas simple mais bien ... juste un soucis avec le retour air cairo plus de 2 heures de retard pour le retour... un grand merci également à notre chauffeur qui a géré la prise en charge de notre hôtel à l aeroport car suite au retard de vol celui ci a patienté plus de 2 heures a l aeroport a nous attendre... bravo

    Tolles Ergebnis

    Stefanie_S, Apr 2023
    Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen! Ein toller Tagesausflug mit erstaunlichen Zielen - trotz der anfänglichen kleineren "organisatorischen Herausforderungen" am Flughafen in Kairo. Auch der deutsche Guide war sehr erfahren und lustig. Auch wenn das Personal in Papyrus- und Parfümläden sehr freundlich war, war der Aufenthalt dort nicht unbedingt nötig – dafür etwas mehr Zeit im Museum und bei den Pyramiden wäre toll. Vielleicht könnten Sie auch das Museum der ägyptischen Zivilisation in Ihr zukünftiges Programm aufnehmen. Alles in allem war es für uns ein tolles Erlebnis! Danke schön!
