Excellent company with an amazing driver - Really great tour. Our driver Ahmed arrived on time, which is rare for tours, so was much appreciated. He is an excellent driver, we got to Cairo in good time, was a very smooth ride and he stopped for us whenever we needed a toilet break etc. highly recommend this tour with this company. Ahmed was very friendly and our tour guide for the sites was also very informative and knowledgeable. We also got back to our hotel earlier than expected meaning we could have dinner back at our hotel.

Amazing experience - We booked this trip to Cairo and we are very happy we chose this company. Van was nice and clean, AC was working, had snacks and cold soft drinks. Our driver Ahmed was lovely, he made sure we have everything and have no issues. We came back to the hotel at 7pm which was great as we could go and have dinner on time. Highly recommend this company. Cairo is a must see if you are in Egypt.

Wonderful day - Good value for money for trip to Cairo with small group. Friendly driver and guide and good lunch included.
Overall, the tour was beyond anything we could have hoped for, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It was a well organized, and educational day that we’ll never forget.

Great trip, not to be missed - Amazing trip from start to finish. Ahmed made sure to contact us and confirm all details. A great driver, super fast trip from Hurghada to Cairo and back. Wi-fi, snacks, cold drinks, pillows in a spotlessly clean mini bus. Shuruq was the perfect guide, answered all our questions and made sure we didn’t queue and wait too long. Nothing was a problem and she took some great photos too. Highly recommended. A great trip not to be missed.

Great Trip, amazing experience. - I cannot recommend this trip enough!! Achmed was exceptionally accommodating throughout.
Many drinks, snacks, TV, WiFi, toilet breaks.
The journey did not feel like 4.5 hours of driving. We canceled flying to Cairo, to book with Achmed instead. Also, a flight may be delayed. (Bare this in mind).
The knowledge of our tour guide Mamod was very impressive.
He took us straight to the Gold Tutankhamen Mask, so we could see it before it got busy with visitors.
He knew exactly where to go. No time wasting at all.
Nile Boat trip, Egyptian Museum, the Pyraminds, Sphynx, Camel ride, process of Leaf paper making, amazing photos and lovely food at the restaurant. Perfect itinerary.
Such friendly, wonderful people to spend the day with.
I will remember this trip for the rest of my life!
Thanks again, Hayley (lila)🐈

Cairo VIP trip - This was our second tour with Ramashka Tours and I will strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a true VIP experience. Our driver Ahmad was very fast, on time and professional and we had the amazing guide Mama who had a strong passion for Egypts history and so much knowledge about everything you want to know about the things you see. Easy 5 stars!

A very fantastic experience! - Beautiful landscape like the pyramids of Giza and the great sphinx was a unforgettable view plus the the museum of Egyptian, the ride on the camels, and the boat ride on the Nile river was also a great experience. Great explanations on the places and super efficient driving throughout the journey. A very unforgettable journey!

The best by a long way ! - My partner and I had an amazing time with wonderful Ahmed and fantastic guide Mama !
We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Even though I had already been to see the Pyramids in Giza many years ago - their trip made it an unforgettable experience and a much more memorable.
Clearly, very experienced and marshalled the day perfectly which meant we packed so much more into our day than we thought possible !
Keep up the good work.

Amazing day! Thank you! - We did this trip on a Saturday as apparently traffic is a bit quieter in Cairo on a Saturday. Ahmed was our excellent driver and Shrouk was our tour guide once in Cairo.
Ahmed gave us snacks, fresh orange juice, ice cream and drinks through the day. There was WiFi, option to charge our phone with a USB charging cable (which was a godsend). Ahmed also had a TV screen and showed us info videos and we watched films on the way back. On the way there he stopped off at points with clean toilets and pointed out good photo opportunities. He was super friendly and we had a lovely day!
We were picked up at 01:00am from our hotel in Makadi Bay (extra charge for this, but this was made clear to us before the trip). We paid the extra charge on the bus in cash. The bus was really comfortable, plenty of leg room, air con and Ahmed looked after us really well with drinks, snacks and even an ice cream! Shrouk was a great tour guide. She was full of interesting information, was friendly and she asked us what we wanted to do at each site, as a group so it was tailored to us.
We did the optional boat trip to begin (€10 extra each, but again, it is clear it's an extra charge). We felt the boat trip on the Nile was worth it before going to the museum.
Next stop was the museum, this was hectic and busy and you didn't get time to marvel over the exhibits, but I'm glad we went as we got to see some main points. We were given the choice of more time with our tour guide telling us things, or our own free time. We chose to stay with Shrouk but others in the group went off on their own.
Next was papyrus factory. Don't buy anything, the selling tactics are not clear and we felt it was overpriced.
Lunch was a nice bbq meal and buffet to select your own food. Food included, drinks in the restaurant extra (again, made clear to you).
Then was the pyramids and Sphinx. We spent some time with Shrouk being given information and she took photos. We were given the option of what we wanted to do, only enter the area, or go inside different pyramids or do a camel ride/horse carriage. We did not do anything involving animals as it is not clear if they are well looked after or not. We went into the smallest pyramid (extra charge of 280 Egyptian pounds per person). Whilst it wasn't decorated, it was great to go inside. We thought it was worth it. Sphinx was great too.
Then we headed to a perfume factory, I did not go inside and that wasn't a problem.
Ahmed got us to and from Cairo quickly. There's no avoiding it being a long day, but it was well worth it. Would recommend!
