We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the history and even took the time to teach us Arabic and its meaning. This tour is a must as it gives you another look into Cairo. At one of the stops, you have a nice view of Cairo. And the lunch was not as described, instead it was a fabulous lunch with a great selection of Egyptian dishes in a beautiful restaurant. This made for a wonderful day in Cairo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Day I’ll Never Forget!
If you’re visiting Cairo, this tour is an absolute must. Spent the day exploring the incredible Saqqara Pyramid Complex, the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, a fascinating carpet school, and Heaven Essence Perfumery, before finishing with a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch. Along the way we were well looked after with snacks and cold bottled water.What truly made the experience exceptional was my guide, Yemani. His knowledge of Ancient Egypt and Egyptology was outstanding, and he brought every site to life with fascinating stories and historical insights. He was kind, engaging, patient, and even became my personal photographer, making sure I came away with some fantastic memories of the day!A huge thank you also to our driver, Muhammed Alaa, who made the journey seamless and stress-free. He drove safely, the vehicle was comfortable, and he was always ready and waiting to take us to the next stop.This was honestly one of the most incredible travel experiences I’ve ever had - unforgettable from start to finish. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you have the chance to request Yemani as your guide, do it. He’s an A++++ guide and an all-round genuinely great guy.

Amazing day learning about ancient Egypt
We had such a great day with our Amira and our driver Mohamed. They both went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful day.Ameria had so much knowledge and took the time to answer all of our questions. Mohamed drove with care and they both made sure my 77 year old mother-in-law with some mobility issued was taken care of at all times.Lunch was delicous, the old Egyptian Museum had so many wonderful artifacts, the market held many interesting shops and Couric churches were a wonderful end to the day.This is great value for money and I recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Egypt!

Epic Old Cairo
Very educational, rich beauty of the Mosques and churches, architectural differences. My guide was patient, intelligent of his history, answered all my questions.

Tour with Mohammed
Mohammed was a good guide, speaking English very eloquently, and he knew a lot about the history. He also could teach me a few hieroglyphics and the logic behind them. He has a good laid-back attitude, but professional aura around him, which makes him chill and not too demanding. The only minus point was that he was so good that the tour was over too quickly, and I didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day. So ask him a lot of questions and take it slow hahaha!

Cairo Night Cruise with Dinnermrst2023, Mar 2026
Nile river boat
We had a great night … our driver collected us and was on hand throughout the night. Food was ok but the entertainers and staff were excellent. The night is what you make it … if u all join in it will be fun. Alcohol was on the menu but we were refused when we ordered it , as it was Ramadan ?? This should not of been the case on a holiday trip.

Excellent Experience, Highly recommend
Nevin was incredible. Extremely punctual. She took care of everything for us- the tickets, communication, everything we requested she did and so much more. We were a large group of 9 people - ages 3 to 70- and she was able to accomodate all of us. If we ever come back to Egypt, she will be the person we request and recommend to all of our family and friends!
