Adoring
Great experience and visit the streets of Cairo for 2 days. Mohamed accompanied us during his 2 days while giving us explanations on everything. Very interesting person and passionate about his country. Gave us a lot of information about the history of Egypt
Good service, optional activities to be considered
We booked an all-inclusive private tour of Saqqara, Memphis, and Giza. The tour was organized with transport, entry tickets, and lunch handled seamlessly. Our driver, Mohamed Imam, was consistently helpful and kind, while our guide, Huda, provided excellent historical context and cultural insights throughout the day. The team endorsed a local stable for a desert ride to the pyramids, which we found to be quite expensive for what was offered. While the experience of seeing the pyramids from the desert is undoubtedly beautiful, be prepared for additional costs of this optional activities.
Mixed experiences, not great and fell short of expectations!
We had used Rimo Tours for our airport transfer to the hotel, which went smoothly. Based on that positive experience, we also booked them for a one-day tour of the Giza pyramids. However, this time our experience was very different. We booked a full-day private tour of the Giza pyramids with Rimo Tours, expecting a dedicated guide for the entire day. Instead, we were charged a high price only to receive a rushed 10-minute overview from a guide who had to attend to other customers. The driver, who didn’t speak English, forced us to use a translation app, and misled us by insisting that we needed to use camels or horses to travel between the pyramids—even though a car could take us there. We later learned from a local that this was unnecessary. Overall, our day could have been much better if we had received the full-day guide service we were promised. We feel we ended up paying much more for a service that fell far short of our expectations.
Top notch
Guide is excellent, knowledgeable and articulate. Paid attention to my possible needs and answered all questions, friendly and good company
