Amazing experience! Trusted company, felt safe throughout, great driver and knowledgeable tour guide. Lots of time to take photos, great communication with the company from booking until the day you leave, even had a call from the manager on my return to as if I enjoyed the experience. We had 3 rest/toilet stops each way, we were given the option of what we would like to do whilst in Cairo, no pressure and were able to leave each attraction when ready. I read the reviews on here before I booked and don’t usually leave one, but they helped me find a reputable company and I would like to share my thoughts to do the same. It was magical and absolutely worth the 6 hours travelling, in my view it’s better than flying to Cairo from Hurghada, no hassle of the airport and able to leave early if you like, as
apposed to waiting for your flight. If you are going to book, this company is great!!

Don't get me wrong it was a long day but from the start when the guys picked us up at the hotel it was fabulous. We were a party of 4 ,The drivers were great supplied us with snacks and drinks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks.
When we arrived in Cairo and met up with our guide/ Egyptologist Hany, it got even better. I don't think there is anything about Egypt's he doesn't know and explains things so well with a great sense of humour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a personalised tour of Cairo and if you can, ask for Hany as your guide. The last time we did this we flew to Cairo but this was far better.

Amazing experience, well worth the long day to see such an iconic location. Hany our guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable, it was so good having him to ourselves throughout the day on this private trip.

Our trip was amazing. Hany was an amazing guide. He was very sociable and very interactive. He encouraged us to ask questions and did a fantastic job at sparking our interest. He knew the best spots to take pictures and took the liberty of taking a lot of pictures as well. It seemed like he was very well connected as we were able to skip all the lines at the museums and the pyramids. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this trip were I to do this in a group setting.
Our driver, Mahmoud, is the best driver ever. He asked us multiple times if we were comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, this was the best possible way to explore Cairo and the pyramids.
Egyptian people are very welcoming and very hospitable and we liked everything about it.

If I could give 4.5 out of 5, this would be our review. The drivers where both good guys, arrived on time, snacks of crisps water and fizzy drinks arranged through Mohamed who owns the company. The vehicle was a minivan, in good condition and the air-conditioning worked well. Communication in arranging the trip was very good. I'm inquisitive naturally and would have wanted to spend some of the 6 hours travel time with the drivers getting to know more about where we were en route, local Egyptian ways of life etc. I do appreciate that was not advertised in the package. They took turns between sleeping and driving and drove safely however as a UK citizen found it unnerving them using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. On connecting with our guide Sarawat in Cairo, he was friendly and did take care of entry to the museum, it is obvious he is well connected and known around town with his peers throughout the day. In the museum we focussed on key artifacts and he then left us for free time. This was the same when visiting the pyramids and sphinx also included and taken care of by Sarawat. You'll need 10LE if you want the toilet at the pyramids We did get the opportunity to do an optional boat trip on the Nile and Sarawat used his connections to book a large boat for 3 of us for £15 each which considering it probably takes over 20 people was excellent and lasted around 40 minutes. The food was good at lunch BBQ/grilled chicken and lamb kofta, note you'll need cash for drinks not included and you'll not be able to take your own. We were also encouraged by Sarawat to visit various other shops to buy papyrus pictures, perfume and souvenir stall.
Overall a very long and enjoyable day but preferred driving seeing the country and having space and a personal guide than being in a group and flying. I also enjoyed driving through Cairo and seeing the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Would recommend this trip and considering what was included was good value.

Daniel_H, Apr 2023
Such an amazing day. Based on the reviews we requested Hany as a tour guide, and I'd recommend doing the same.
Hany was really knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture. He also didn't make us feel pressured into trip add-ons.
Having a private tour gave us extra time to see what we wanted to see, over doing a bus tour.
Be aware that the driving in Cairo and Egypt in general is quite different to in the west.
We chose to add-on a Nile boat trip (~£10pp), a tour of Old Cairo (~£10pp) and camel ride to a Giza Pyramid viewing point where we were able to get great pictures.
I'd honestly recommend doing them all if you get chance.

Thank you for your review.
We hope to see you again.

We had a fantastic day from start to finish! The driver was early at the hotel and we were in capable hands all the journey. The company was kind enough to gift us 4 scarfs ready for our desert adventure! We picked up our tour guide (Abeer) in Cairo and she was an excellent guide and knew all the facts at her fingertips. She also was great giving us advice and do”s and don’t which was really helpful on our first visit to Egypt. We arrived early at Giza and visited the pyramids and sphinx which was awesome.ot wasn’t too busy
. Do make sure you go inside a pyramid, it’s really worth it. Also had a camel ride at the site. Optional visit to papyrus workshop which was worth it and we did end up buying a picture!
Then onto lunch which was really nice. You must try the fresh smoothies!!
We drove through Cairo which was and interesting experience in itself!! The Egyptian museum was great and
Abeer showed us the main points
of interest and then we had free time to ourselves. A long day but definitely worth it!! We even had a call from the manager Mahmoud to ensure that we had enjoyed our day. Fantastic customer service, I would definitely use the company again on our next visit.

Wow wow wow what an amazing trip! everyone was so nice and looked after us very well. We thought for a trip of our lifetime it will be better to book a private tour to the pyramids instead of a group tour and we was definitely right. Our tour guide Abeer was amazing, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she gave us all the time we need, for pictures, to explore inside the pyramids and took us to all the best spots to see everything. She explained everything so beautifully and made our trip so much better (she also takes the best pictures!) our driver was also so good, very comfortable car and very accommodating. He would stop whenever you need for a toilet or a break and we felt very safe with him (especially driving in the extremely busy Cairo). If you’re thinking of booking this then I can honestly say do it! We had an amazing time, it’s a long drive from Hurghada but it is so worth it. I recommend it completely, you won’t regret it.

Marietta_S, Feb 2023
Absolutely loved it. We were lucky enough to have Hany with us during our Cairo day trip. If you have a chance to request your tour guide, definitely ask for Hany. He is a tour guide for 27 years, his knowledge is absolutely amazing and you can clearly see he loves what he is doing.
We enjoyed every second of the day. First we visited The Egyptian Museum, which we were a bit scared of because we are really not a museom visitor types, however Hány made everything so interesting, we learned a lot about perfumes( lotus and papirus) Mummys, actient culture, techniques...he will show you only the most interesting part of it, and we loved it.
After this we had a good 20-25 minutes of boat trip on the Niles which was so relaxing (this is optional, but I would highly recommend it, it's cheap and worthy). You will see Hany is not just a tour guide,but a Captain too:)
After this he took us to our buffet style restaurant. The food was very tasty, plenty of options including Indian food as well, and very good ice-cream too(make sure you have egyptian pound with you, since the drinks are not included and the do not accept euro, dollar or card).
Then we visited the Pyramids in Giza. Bazaar seller will be very pushy, but just stay close to Hany... everybody knows him😉 you can make good deal but don't be shy to drop the original price drastically (feel free to half the original price) and just stay strong, eventually you will get a more reasonable price.
Do not buy papyrus from them, after the Sfinx you will visit a papyrus factory where you can learn a lot about the procedure, and the whole staff is very welcoming and friendly.
Here you can get 50% off for a handmade papyrus and if you pretend that the price it's even like this a bit too high for your budget, they are easy to get them drop it with another 10%.
We booked a private tour, if you have a chance please o the same, we visited Luxor wig a bigger group and it was very disappointing. In a private tour you can get all the answers to all of your questions, the tour guide will pay a lot more attention to all of you, it's more relaxing, and better for your tour guide too😉.

I have traveled to many places but, this is probably the most interesting!
The whole day is so perfect and when we met up with our tour guide Hany the whole day became so much better. He is amazing! He spoke the most perfect English and knew absolutely everything! He couldn’t have done anything more for us if he tried! Fantastic day. I would thoroughly recommend. If you can request Hany, you must. You won’t regret it! Thanks Hany. Hope to see you again.

What an experience! Admittedly we had a long drive from Hurghada, Syed however was very kind and provided drinks, snacks and comfort breaks. Hany Mahmoud, our guide, was truly brilliant with us throughout the day! His knowledge was fantastic and he has a brilliant way of interacting you with the history with his personable character. No words are needed for the Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Museum, they are all breathtaking.
Thank you so much Hany for making it a day we will never forget.

Long but very enjoyable day. My guide, Hany was very informative with a sense of fun. Arranged a lovely boat trip on the Nile to add to the day. Felt safe with the driver and Hany as a single traveler

Well organised trip from start to finish. We were really looked after and were allowed to take the day at exactly our own pace. Our guide, Hany was just lovely and very experienced.
Early start from Hurghada (2am) so I guess that’s the down-side, but our driver turned up exactly on time and we slept in the car.
Museum was fabulous, we then took an optional boat ride on the Nile for 360EGP each. Lunch was buffet style and quite busy, but the food was good and varied. Drinks were extra (50EGP for a coke).
Then onto the pyramids where we took a camel ride (400EGP). Once again, actually a very relaxed experience as our guide took any stress out of the day.
If you are thinking of booking this trip, I would have no hesitation in recommending it. For a reasonable price, you get the complete flexibility of a private tour and can really let the day run at your own pace.

Le transfert en voiture privé était idéal.
Le paysage magnifique, notre chauffeur et notre guide ont été super !
Nous avons adoré cette excursion, cependant prévoyez des sous en plus pour les à-côté (croisière sur le nil, balade en calèche où à dos de chameau au pyramides, boisson au restaurant, pourboire et pour l’accès au toilette)

La prise en charge a l'hôtel s'est fait à l'heure prévue avec voiture climatisée. Les boissons nous ont été distribuées aussitôt. Le trajet était long avec des arrêts style convoi. Le chauffeur s'est mis en relation avec le guide qui nous attendait au Caire. Visite des pyramides sur le site de Gizeh (nous sommes restes le temps que l'on voulait et nous avons demande de visiter une pyramide. Ensuite proposition par la guide de faire le tour en calèche ou en chameau. Le sphinx ou la guide nous a emmené. La guide connaissait les endroits stratégiques pour les photos, elle connaissait très bien son travail et l'histoire de l'Egypte et tout cela en Français.
Déjeuner dans un restaurant local et continuation dans le vieux Caire. Nous avons modifier sans problème le programme et annuler la visite du musée pour se rendre dans le vieux Caire, l'avantage de faire une excursion en privée et d'apporter les modifications. Journée intense, fatigante sous 42 degrés mais inoubliable. Notre guide dina était au top et très à l'écoute de nos demandes. Retour sur Hurghada. Tout s'est très bien passé pendant le trajet et le prix était raisonnable. Je recommande

Super expérience
La formule en "VIP" avec une voiture et un guide pour notre famille a été un plus.
Le transfert aller / retour entre Hurghada et Le Caire s'est très bien passé.
L'obligation de rouler en convoi est un peu pénible (perte de temps). On a passé de nombreuses heures dans la voiture, les pyramides se méritent.
Notre guide Nevine a été très gentille et professionnelle.
La visite du musée égyptien (super intéressant), un tour en bateau sur le Nil (en option pour 40€), la visite des pyramides et du sphinx (wouah!), un tour en dromadaire aux abords de la pyramide ont rythmé notre visite du Caire.
Le tout était super, je recommande cette visite.

Een onvergetelijke dag. Mooie dingen gezien en veel te weten gekomen. Onze gids Hany Mahmoud kon alles goed uitleggen en liet bijzondere dingen zien waar je zo aan voorbij zou zijn gelopen of waar je als toerist nooit heen zou zijn gegaan. Ook het quizje was leuk. We hebben genoten van het Egyptisch museum, de indrukwekkende piramides en de Sfinx, hebben in het oude Caïro gewandeld en lekker gegeten. Het was de reis met eigen chauffeur vanaf Hurghada dubbel en dwars waard. Bedankt Hany!
