“Our Tour Guide was incredible! She was fluent in English and taught us everything we could possible need to know about the Egyptian History we came to learn! She also brought us on amazing excursions that was part of the Egyptian history. Getting my own personalized cartouche was greatly appreciated due to being able to brining a pice of Egypt home with me to cherish daily. Overall our tour was impressive! I also found my tour guide to be unique due to caring for the animals who were used to living on the streets. I highly recommend this tour!”
Review of Cairo’s 7 to 8 hour tour covering the Grand Egyptian Museum, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Valley Temple, camel ride, and lunch.
“Highly recommend this trip. Our guide Bossi was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Most people would find navigating the whole trip really difficult without a guide. We saw the pyramids, went inside (you have to do it, but it is pretty uncomfortable and hot inside). We saw the sphinx and went on a camel ride. The lunch stop was brilliant, buffet style and quality food. The afternoon in the Grand Egyptian Museum was helpfully guided taking us to the key exhibits. Well worth the money. Thanks”

Review of the Hurghada to Cairo day trip, covering the pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum, lunch, transport, guide quality, and practical tips.
“The tour was wonderful and very interesting. Our guide, Ayman Fawzy, provided us with plenty of information and fascinating details about each site we visited — it was really great to have him with us. By the end of the day, we couldn’t visit the souk due to time constraints. Given how long the rest of the visits take (even with a quick lunch), I’m not sure it’s really feasible anyway — this part might need some adjustment. The trip is quite long, running from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m., but it’s absolutely worth it.”
Review of Cairo’s private 8-hour pyramids, Egyptian Museum, lunch, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar tour, with practical value and planning tips.
“Pick up was on time and confirmed the day before. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Driver and Guide both were courteous. They tweaked the tour to shorten it on our request as we had a flight to take and still showed us the best we could see. We had some trouble understanding the English our guide spoke but he tried his best. Only drawback was repeated reminders by guide to give big tips which was annoying and awkward. We were also asked if we have credit cards which we said no to as warned by other reviewers.”
