Perfect tour to explore the best of Cairo! - This tour was an incredible and unique experience! The small group trip (maximum 8 people) made everything more enjoyable, without the crowds of the larger tours and with special attention from the guide. The spacious and comfortable minivan ensured a relaxed journey, while our experienced Egyptologist charmed us with detailed explanations of the history and culture of Ancient Egypt. Each stop was perfectly organized: the visit to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx was exciting, the Egyptian Museum left us speechless, and the option of the Nile boat ride was a magical experience. Cultural stops, such as the papyrus museum and perfumery, have allowed us to discover ancient traditions in an authentic way. Lunch overlooking the Pyramids was the perfect finishing touch. The itinerary was well balanced, without hurry, allowing us to enjoy every moment. An unmissable tour for those who want to discover Cairo in an exclusive, comfortable and in-depth way!

Very nice trip with a great guide - Very nice trip with a great guide; Mohammed told us a lot of things in very good French, especially at the museum, so we already had a lot of information for our visit to the pyramids. Lunch was at a typical tourist restaurant, the food was ok. The visit to the papyrus shop and perfumery could be skipped; The main thing here is that tourists buy something (although, to be honest: perfume oils smell amazing!). Overall, an unforgettable trip, very well organized, an absolutely brilliant guide (couldn't be more informative and pleasant!), incredible atmosphere at the pyramids. We would do it again.

Private tour in Cairo. - I did this excursion with my two children. The process was as described below in other reviews. So, there is nothing to add to the seriousness of this agency. You have the option of closing your eyes. However, there was a problem. On arrival in Cairo, an extremely friendly guide introduces himself, but he does not speak French... Great period of solitude, but immediately taken care of by the latter. Thanks to my English skills, he explained to me after several calls that the error came from the reservation platform which sent them the incorrect information. In order to find a French guide, everything was set up and in the meantime, he offered us breakfast (delicious felafels). Then, I head towards the pyramids because I discovered a guide who doesn't live next door. We begin the visit and it will follow. And here is the surprise we receive while waiting for the entrance to the Queen Mother's pyramid (an unforgettable moment). As we leave, our guide Wissam arrives. And here comes a magnificent day, certainly exhausting but absolutely worth doing. We wanted to express our gratitude to Wissam, our driver Moustapha who was very attentive to us and the director of the agency who took the time to apologize to me personally by telephone. We will travel to Luxor and we will do it in the company of you. Bravo for your professional expertise!!!

Pyramids and the Sphinx - Our guide Yasser was very knowledgeable. The highlights for me were the pyramids and the Sphinx. The hotel pick-up, flight to Cairo and museum tickets are very well organized. Note: The restaurant is mass-produced. The food was good and the restaurant was clean. When it came to the pyramids, I was glad I booked a private car tour. Animal welfare is very low priority. A visit to the perfume shop was completely out of place. I like to decide for myself when and where I want to buy something. Our guide led the tour well, but I don't think it's worth a tip, except for the fact that he didn't want coins. However, as Yasser said at the beginning, I can highly recommend the trip. We are in Egypt and everything is different here.

Great deal - Our guide, Sahar, was a really kind person. She had a great deal of expertise and enthusiasm for Egypt's past. We had a terrific day and learned a lot. It is imperative for everyone to view the beautiful pyramids. The museum has a lot to offer. We heartily endorse this excursion to everyone.

recommend it - We went on a day trip from Hurghada to the pyramids with Sherif Travel. Everything was well organized, but the late back was tiring. Tourist traps in papyrus and perfume shops were annoying. Camel rides and carriage rides are not recommended due to the exploitation of the animals. Otherwise the tour was well planned with friendly guides and a lot of knowledge. I would recommend it, despite the problems mentioned. Ahmed was a great guide!

Private day trip - Private day trip from Marsa Alam to Cairo by plane. We booked a tour and traveled with our two small children. Communication with Sherif Tours was prompt. Our wishes were always taken into account. Our guide Jakob spoke very good German. We were picked up at the hotel on time. At the airport we were taken to check-in. Jakob, our guide, who also spoke very good German, was waiting for us in Cairo. We were transported in a modern minibus with plenty of space for the family. We were always served drinks in the vehicle. First we visited the Egyptian Museum, where we viewed the most famous exhibits with Jakob. Then we spontaneously took a short boat trip on the Nile. After that we enjoyed a typical local meal, as planned. After the meal we drove to the plateau of the pyramids. There we had plenty of time to take photos and look at everything. Jakob organized everything perfectly during the trip together with our driver. He also helped us buy souvenirs. We can fully recommend Sherif Tours. We always felt in good hands and, above all, safe. It was clear that everyone was interested in us having an unforgettable day trip. Thank you very much for that.
