Bestest of the best

I am one of the people who barely writes reviews but I had to write for this company. I am a paranoid person when it comes to trusting people and it’s hard to please me with service but I kid you not this company went above and beyond to make sure we were in good shape. Starting we only had one day and I arrive in Cairo Egypt at 1 am and they were waiting for us outside already. We had a delayed for our bags but they still waited for us. We also booked our hotels in Giza area to save our time as it’s an hour drive from the airport and this company did their very best to drop at the hotel. At 9am sharp as promised the guide and the driver was here to pick us up. The guide was very fluent in English and had great sense of humor. He knew we had one day in which we had to cover pyramids of Giza, camel riding at the pyramids, national museum of civilization, salahuddin ayubi fort and Mohammad Ali mosque, a finest lunch experience, felucca ride at River Nile then going to see Al Azhar mosque and explore khan Al Khalil bazaar where we shopped our souvenirs and then dropping us to the hotel and this was all in one day 12 hours. The guide was very knowledgeable and very respectful. He managed all the attractions so well that we didn’t feel rushed. The car was super clean and they also offered us bottle of waters. Everything I mentioned had our tickets included and the company literally treated us like their own family. I admit that I couldn’t fully enjoy Egypt in a leisurely space but that’s because of short on time on my end. However I believe I will be back and will hire the same people again to explore more of Egypt inshallah including Alexandria, Luxor and Aswan. We plan to come back either this year again. Our travel manager was Zizo and our tour guide was Muhammad Afifi (hands down the best guide ever) and an amazing photographer. He was truly and all rounder. I wish to come back soon and hire him again with the same company inshallah

Amazing - Thank you Kareem!

The tour guide (Kareem) and driver (Mohamed) arrived at my hotel promptly at 8am and introduced themselves, before taking us to the pyramids. I won't go into the details of the destination, but it was truly remarkable! After this we proceeded to the Egyptian Museum, where Kareem took us around and showed us some key artifacts. After the museum we went back to our hotel. Mohamed, our driver, was very courteous and was always on time and drove us safely between destinations. There are not many words that explain how amazing Kareem was as our tour guide. He is one of the nicest people you can hope to meet, and his knowledge of the subject matter was incredible, having studied archeology. He showed such a genuine passion for the ancient history of his country and it made our day so truly impressive. He was also patient, attentive and supportive - ensuring we got to just enjoy the day entirely. Thank you SO much Kareem.

Full day

It was a very well spent day. Our guide Hady very friendly and always with answers to our questions. We would not have been able to make a visit otherwise.

Very accommodating team to make the best of day trip to Cairo

booked via WhatsApp, reluctant to make any payment in advance online so agreed a cash payment after the trip. Met straight at arrivals hall in Cairo, straight to the pyramids with a driver and a guide. They want to make the day about you so although they suggested things like camel ride, various view points and some shopping they didn’t push when we said no. Guide happy to talk us through the history at our pace and show us around. Then went on to the Egyptian museum and again talked us through key items to provide history. All entrance fees included (except to actually enter a pyramid that’s an additional few $), lunch was at a local restaurant with traditional food and drop off back at the airport. We finished quite quickly and asked what else there was to do but struggled a little with additional things to do other than shopping. Very happy with the experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to tailor they own Cairo / Giza experience. Not overly expensive in comparison to others, $160 for 2 adults and a 5 year old.
