A great day exploring some of Cairo’s most remarkable sites and riding ATVs and camels in the desert! - Our tour guide Tamer was a friendly and knowledgeable person who gave us a great tour of the Giza Pyramids and Memphis. We also loved the camel and ATV rides. Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough time to see the Saqqara pyramids, as we took too long enjoying the other sights. I highly recommend this tour though, because it is packed with fun activities for a very reasonable price

Our Museum Tour Guide and Driver Were Awesome! - Our first full day in Egypt was awesome thanks to Mariam, our tour guide, and Ahmed, our driver.
Mariam was exceptional. She explained everything at the Grand Egyptian Museum and Giza Plateau in a way that made the experience meaningful. She answered every question thoughtfully, including sharing details and context about each of the popular exhibits.
Ahmed was equally wonderful. He was a safe, skilled, and courteous driver. The vehicle was comfortable and clean, and his professionalism and patience were very much appreciated.
We also appreciated the buffet lunch, which was a welcome break and very enjoyable.
This was the perfect introduction to Egypt. Mariam and Ahmed are a fantastic team, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are considering this tour, you will be in excellent hands.

Amazing! - I had a very good experience with Nice Tours Cairo, and I would definitely recommend them. The only downside was that all major sites — including the Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis — close at 4:00 PM. Because of this time limitation, we were unable to visit Saqqara and Memphis, so our itinerary remained incomplete. We only learned about the closing time upon reaching 4 PM, and at that point our guide asked us to choose between the ATV ride or visiting Saqqara and Memphis.
A very special shout-out to our tour guide, Tamer, who was truly outstanding. He is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Egypt’s rich history. His explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with fascinating details that brought every site to life. Beyond that, Tamer was extremely patient, respectful, and attentive, making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. His hospitality and warm personality made the entire experience even more memorable.
If you’re visiting Cairo and want a tour that is well organized, insightful, and fun — Nice Tours Cairo with Tamer is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be recommending them to all my family and friends!

Best Pyramid tour - We had a wonderful experience! Our guide, Doha, was incredibly helpful and truly made the tour better than we expected. She took us to amazing viewpoints and explained every detail about all the pyramids. She is brilliant in her field and has exceptional knowledge.
Mr. Nage, our driver, was also fantastic. He drove smoothly and was very helpful throughout the trip, and the car was clean, spacious, and in great condition.
We even enjoyed a delicious Egyptian-style lunch. And seeing a rainbow above the pyramid was the perfect icing on the cake - absolutely unforgettable!

Really raccomanded! - We spent all the morning in Cairo with Hishek viewing the Citadel, the Mohamed Ali Mosque and Khan El-Khalili.
We had a lovely morning with him, he answered to all our curiosity and also told us interesting anecdotes.
He accommodated our requests for a coffee break, took lots of photos of us, and it was really nice doing the tour with him.
Feel free to ask any questions that come to mind, without hesitation, because he’s very helpful and knowledgeable about all topics, history and culture.
Really raccomanded!
