Great tour - Highly recommend this tour of the Egyptian museum, old Cairo and the Citadel. The guide was professional, very knowledgeable and engaging. The driver navigated the busy streets of Cairo very safely and was always ready to pick us up to move to the next location. Great way to see these sites, with comfort and ease. Thank you for your hospitality!

Exciting trip in cairo - Had a beautiful experience with Nasser from Egypt direct tours ,had an exciting time, great conversations on the history and details of the egyptian people. We took our time around the museums, mosques, markets and not forgetting a hearty meal to finish our day! Can't wait to be back again and use his services in future. He is also kind.

Best tour company in Cairo - We started our Cairo experience with another company & had a terrible experience. I happened to find Egypt Direct Tours by accident. So happy I did!!! Ahmed was our guide & he was knowledgeable, resourceful, incredibly helpful & all around a pleasure. He really delivered a superb end-to-end experience & the fee scale is very reasonable. He was prompt (early) picking my family & I up & made sure we accomplished everything we set out to do. To be completely honest, finding someone to work with who is honest & trustworthy in Cairo can be very difficult. We really lucked up when we found Ahmed. My only regret is that we didn’t have Egypt Direct Tours for the beginning of our trip; would have saved us a lot of headaches! Don’t waste time looking for another tour company; book them…you’ll be happy you did!

Great time! - Our tour guide Nasser was great! He gave us a nice mix of showing and telling us about the location and then giving us time to explore on our own. We felt like we were treated like family! Lunch was from a great locals spot and delicious. Would definitely do again!

Best guide :) - Nasser is an amazing guide, he is so knowledgeable! We had an amazing day at the egyptian museum and the citadel. As two female travellers Nasser treated us like family and made us feel incredibly safe and kept the tours away! Would highly recommend

Perfect Day in Cairo - Our tour with Egypt Direct was wonderful. The activities were amazing, and our guide Maha was a great guide. She was very educated about every site we visited, and she was extremely nice. I would greatly recommend this tour, and you should request Maha for a guide.
