Fantastic day for the whole family , just the way we wanted it

Tsveta_H, Nov 2025

Great experience, tailored to our wishes. We were a family of 10 with children and adults of different ages. It is a long day but so worthy. The drivers were great and Mahmood the Egyptologist was so knowledgeable and passionate. We had an early start and got to the pyramids for 9.30am then to the new museum the GEM in the afternoon, back in Hurgada for 10pm. I would definitely book private experience again when we come back, Mohammed Aly was available for communication at any time , sorting things out - we wanted to change from the old museum to the new museum at a very short notice and he sorted it out for us; we cut out the fellucca ride so we can have more time around the sites. Great travel company- would recommend to anyone looking for a private tour

Thank you very much for your honest review and you are always welcome to Egypt we are glad that our services have been delivered in the best way

Outstanding experience with great driver and tour guide

Mark_S, May 2025

We were staying in Hurghada so the 3am pickup was unwelcome, however our driver Mahmood ensured we were able to rest and catered sufficient stops along the way to Cairo. It was great having the private taxi for the day to take us and collect us from each part of the trip. Once in Cairo, we met our amazing tour guide, also Mahmood, whose knowledge of ancient Egypt is outstanding. The museum and Pyramids were busy, but we didn't have to wait in queues following Mahmood through the entrances. We could not have asked for a better guide for this trip. There was nothing we asked that he could not answer. The felluca trip was good, and again we were the only ones on board which was lovely. Lunch was very filling and great food in an authentic restaurant. The Pyramids were amazing and again Mahmood ensured we had the best experience there. Just be mindful the camel guides will expect a tip and was not satisfied with the one we gave until Mahmood reminded him he'd already been paid!! All in all an outstanding experience, and made to feel like royalty with private car and guide. Highly recommend this trip if you are considering seeing the pyramids

Would use these guys again! 100%

Megan_K, Mar 2025

This was by far the best day of our lives. Both the driver and the tour guide were ever so informative. The tour guide was very professional and was able to teach us so much that we didn't know before. He went above and beyond to give us the perfect day out. We also had a cheeky lunch and went to the papyrus shop, which isn't mentioned but was a beautiful bonus. The tour guide caters to your needs and is a brilliant photographer on the side. I would 100% recommend splashing out a little extra to go private, and avoiding absolute chaos as a group excursion. It was so relaxing having our very own tour guide and car to travel in. They will go above and beyond to make your day worth it. I haven't a single bad thing to say about yesterday. It was easily the best day of my life and the tour guide was a huge factor in this. 11/10 would 100% recommend this specific excursion to anybody looking to go and see Cairo and Giza.

A must do experience in Egypt! Very well organized, informative trip to explore what Cairo has to offer.

Jacob_S, Dec 2024

Firstly, it’s a must do experience! Pyramids, Felucca, the Sphinx, camel riding, as well as, The Musuem, were all from our bucket list! The day was very well organised. My partner and I were welcomed by our taxi driver at our hotel who stayed with us all day. He was on time, quick, non-disturbing, very responsive to our needs throughout day and lovely. We met our guide in Cairo who was extremely informative, knowledgeable, helpful, knew the best spots for photos, food and drink. At the end of the trip, she recommended a papyrus painting place, as I mentioned I’d be interested to see how it’s made. People of Cairo were very friendly and welcoming the entire time. It was definitely an amazing experience that I’d recommend to anyone who likes a bit of adventure!

First Class Private Day Trip to Cairo

Sara_H, Mar 2024

We booked the private trip which really was private, from the transfers to our own personal guide and personal feluka and camel rides. Our driver was excellent and friendly and the transfers efficient both to and from Cairo and throughout the day, and we were back to our hotel in Makadi Bay in time for dinner. It was a long day for him with little rest in-between stops, but he coped brilliantly. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us options and choices regarding the schedule and timing of the activities and for personal time etc. A great but long tiring day, making the 3am pick up from our hotel well worth it.....taking pillows for the back of the car was a great idea.

Best trip! Definitely recommend

Luke_R, Mar 2024

The best trip to experience new sights and learn about Egypt! Both our tour guide and driver were amazing! Both made sure we was safe at all times, we learned so much about Egypt and saw loads of sights. We visited many places that we probably wouldn’t have seen if we went on a ‘big’ group tour this is why we went for a Private tour and we would highly recommend!! Lunch was included and admissions to museums, pyramids and Nile boat trip. It’s definitely worth the early morning start! We are so happy with our experience and we would definitely recommend! Thank you both for a great day! 😊

Wir haben un 3Uhr Morgen nach Kairo gefahren mit einem Private Auto. Es hat lange gedauert die Fahrt aber es hat gelohnt. Erst um 8Uhr war wir in Kairo gelandet um die Museum erkunden. Unsere Reiseführer hat uns schon gewartet d.h am Anfang alles war gut organisiert. Das Museum war sehr riesig deswegen, Hr. Khaled hat uns die wichtigsten Informationen, Figuren und die Historischen des gelandet auf Deutsch geklärt. Wir fanden es auch toll dass er uns paar Zeit gelassen um alles zu Fotografieren könnte. Thema Fragen, er versucht alles beantworten und erklärt. Dazwischen hat wir auch immer halbstündigen Pausen gehabt um zu Trinken oder erholen. es war eine große Ehre für uns dass wir dort waren im Gizeh, Synphyx, Fluss der Nyl, und die ganz besondere Atmosphäre erlebt hatten.Wir möchten nur sagen , ihr können an Hr. Khaled's Team verlassen. Sie waren sehr organisiert , hilfreich , und vor allem Nette Leute. Mittagessen war Top , sehr sauber und geschmackvolle. Aber meine Highlight war mit der kleine segeln ️ über die Nyl Fluss gefahren. Im einen Worte, wir empfehlen euch Khaled's Team entweder Privat oder gemeinsam Ausflug zu unternehmen. Vielen Dank ️ Ali
