Amazing 2 days in Cairo! - We had a fantastic 2 days full private tour all inclusive with our Tour Guide, Nour, and our Dedicated Driver - Emad. This was our first time in Egypt, and the whole journey for the 2 days was packed with fun and enjoyable sightseeing. Nour is an expert in Egypt history and he makes our visit so interesting. His excellent storytelling abilities of all the historical sites make it all worth it. We enjoyed the local food lunch and are grateful for all the arrangements! Thanks for such a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Egypt!

Tour 2 days - We did the 2-day tour to Giza and Cairo together with the Italian guide Mimmo. He showed us all the places written in the program and we could add extras of our choice. He knows all the places very well. Very good and nice even the driver.

Whale of a time in Cairo & Giza - Our guide, Mr Nour is an expert, knowledgeable guide that i would recommend to my family and friends. His expertise in navigating us throughout 2 days trip around Cairo and Giza is outstanding, as he planned carefully to avoid us stuck in traffic and crowd while we were sightseeing during peak weekends. Together making our trip was a breeze was our driver, Mr. Eman(?) whose driving was excellent. The tour schedule was perfect, not rushing and we were able to cover important parts of our trip and still have time and energy for our personal itinerary afterwards. The meal provided also tasty. Mr. Nour also able to fit in Jumaah prayer during trip for my husband to experience performing it with locals.

2 days private tour in Egypt - Michael Raouf out tour guy and the driver both wrere very polite, nice, reliable and very helpful. Michael had a lot knowledge of ancient Egypt. We got to cover a lot for 2 days. I did not like much the places he took us that I did know was part of our schedule. Like the oil, papyrus place… although it was okay it took too much time. I felt like I was rushed at some point.

Incredible experience with amazing guide - A wonderful tour taking me back 5000 years and to the present. My guide was Nour, a highly educated and experienced guide. The 2 days were perfectly planned, skipping the crowds and getting to see the sites with less people. Nour was able to answer all my questions and was flexible with timings. I would highly recommend this tour - 2 days you’ll never forget!

Best experience of Cairo for first time travellers - The best tour to visit the key highlights in Cairo for 2 days. It's a private tour so me and my partner had the driver and our fabulous tour guide for ourselves! Phoebe was fantastic, always accommodating us, protecting us from scams and making sure we were comfortable (and hydrated!). She was basically one of the highlights in Cairo. The first day we went to the pyramids complex and had lunch with a view. I really appreciated that this tour included also Saqqara and Memphis. I've got the best pictures of Egypt from this day (and we were around for 2 weeks!) The second day we visited Old Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. After being in both I don't think I would have been able to survive without a guide so really thankful for having Phoebe with us and for all her knowledge. The lunch on the second day was my favourite. We went to a local restaurant near the Hanging Church and it was so so nice. It was our first time in Cairo so having this very complete tour with such a fantastic guide really made the difference for us.

Good guide but bad tour operator - Fatima, our tour guide was knowledgeable and we thank her sincerely. But there are major issues with tour operator- 1. Unscheduled Stops The guide took us to a perfume and papyrus shop that wasn’t listed in the itinerary. This unplanned stop consumed 2–3 hours, forcing us to rush through the main attractions. It felt like a tourist trap, and we only realized the impact once the tour was over. THIS SHOULD BE AVOIDED BUT STICK TO THE ITINERARY. 2. Driver’s Unprofessional behaviour On the second day, the driver got into an argument with the guide and abruptly left us stranded. Fathima had to contact the tour operator for alternative arrangements, which caused unnecessary delays.
