I cannot recommend this tour enough. Our guide, Eraky was fantastic and has a PhD in hieroglyphics so he knows a ton and is passionate about ancient Egypt. He gave us so much information in two days that I felt like I really got to know Cairo well. Eraky also seems to know everyone in Cairo so it made the tours even more fun. Lunch both days was delicious and our driver was very safe and navigated “crazy Cairo” seamlessly. We had a great two days in Cairo with this company.

Mimo our tour guide and Ibrahim our driver for the two days was exceptional. Nothing was too much hassle for them. Mimo made our experience great, he made sure that we had everything we needed going at our own pace especially with a 21 month old baby. They adjusted pick up time by half hr as 8am was too early for us. He is very knowledgeable and has tons of information to share. Our trip to the Saqqara was part way abandoned due to the extreme heat by ourselves and Mimo refunded our tickets for it- brilliant service. The camel ride was shorter than the allcated time but Mimo made sure this was completed and sent us back on again- he gave us the choice of riding the horse and carriage. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had time to experience, rest and explore thoroughly. Ask for Mimo if you do book and you will see how accomadating he is. He even stopped to get us watermelon at our request! Food was good in a nice resturant the first day, then shawarma on the second. Everything is explained clearly and fully- adjustments are made according to the client- it is your tour so go with what works for you. All addidional stops that isnt part of the tour was a treat too. He did not push us to buy infact he made sure the locals especially in Khan-el-Khalil bazzar werent ripping us off with extortinate prices- he made sure we didnt fall for it and kept us all safe throughtout our two day. We already miss his company. Ibrahim is a true gentleman, opening the door helping with our stroller making sure the car was always clean. Aircon great what luxury! There was no pressure and we were relaxed. Thank you to both men for making our trip pleasant.

This two-day guided trip to Cairo and the Pyramids, with our awesome guide Fatma, provided a deep understanding of Egypt's rich history and a profound appreciation for its ancient wonders. Fatma was very warm, and she took us to the best restaurants in Cairo. We especially liked the Egyptian food. I would recommend this trip to anyone with a fascination for history, culture, and the mysteries of the ancient world. Cairo and the Pyramids exceeded all expectations, and I will cherish the memories of this trip for a lifetime. If you're considering this plan, then do ask for Fatma Mohammed as your guide. She will help with taking photos and is also very flexible with the itinerary. Thank you Fatma.

We had two great days with Nour! On the first day he took us to the Giza Plateau, Saqqara, and Memphis. In addition to seeing the awe-inspiring historical sites, he also took us to a perfume-smelling experience and a papyrus-making experience, both free-of-charge with no obligation to purchase anything. We chose to do a late lunch and our day ended with a delicious meal at a rooftop restaurant with beautiful views of the city.
On the second day, Nour took us to the Egyptian Museum. He let us know that many of the exhibits had already been moved over to the new museum (which was not yet open when we were there), but showed us the highlights left in the old museum. Well worth it - we saw some amazing historical artifacts and Nour provided great information! We also went to the Khan el-Khalili market where we were able to pick up some little souvenirs, which was great fun. Our tour also included a visit to the Citadel and the Hanging Church, both great places for those interested in religious history. Our second day concluded with tasty Egyptian cuisine at a local restaurant.
Nour speaks excellent English and answered all of our questions about Egyptian history and customs as they came up. This tour also came with a driver and we found it very affordable given how much was packed into our two days in Cairo.

Fantastic tour. Everyone on the group loved the itinerary and especially Ahmed, he's just the best, believe me. Informative, funny, never boring. It seems like he know every single person in Cairo, so whathever you need, he will arrange it. We made a mistake during prenotation, we put the wrong dates, and he did his best to solve our mistake.
Also, our tour was in Italian, Ahmeds Italian is perfect.
Thank you for everything!!
