Day of a lifetime!! - It’s not surprising why the pyramids of Giza are one of the greatest wonders of the world, and Cairo is a beautiful city where antiquity merges with modernity gracefully :) I was expecting a small group tour but ended up being the only traveller who booked that tour- I’m so happy I was the only one!... I had a 20hr layover on the way to Toronto from Mumbai. My tour guide, Eslam Hanfi, who has been doing this for 15 years (and it’s obvious), spent a full day of 12hrs showing me more than what I originally bargained for and it was unforgettable :) he’s an awesome person to spend the day with and you’ll be treated like the guest of honour. I’ve recommended this tour to everyone I know who wants a full day or even half day layover in this beautiful country, and I recommend it to all of you!

Great Tour to see most of Cairo in a Day - Great Tour, Tonsi was very informative. Went inside the pyramids and took a horse and carriage around the pyramids for some great photos. We went to the museum and Tonsi told me I could take a sneaky photo of King Tutankhamun's mask from outside the room since pics inside are not allowed 🤫. We even went to a perfume shop and a papyrus shop and bought some amazing souvenirs. Tonsi was patient which we needed since my dad walks with a walking stick, we even ran over time but it wasn't a problem. Thank you for the experience.

Spectacular Tour! - I had such an incredible time in Cairo with my tour guide Essam! I knew from the reviews I would have a fun time but the tour was so much better than I expected! Essam and his driver picked me up from the airport. As soon as I exited the airport doors and walked outside I immediately spotted Essam holding up a sign with my name on it. In the car waiting for me were snacks, bottled water and juice. I did the layover tour so since I was short on time we drive straight to Giza Plateau. I was able to leave my bag in the car while we toured the pyramids and sphinx and had no issues at all. Essam is an incredible photographer and was always happy to take lots of pictures. He has a lot of creative picture ideas and knows exactly where to take pictures from, his eye for photography is exceptional! Essam even knew who to go to to ride a camel, I rode one for 30mins for about 10 USD, absolutely worth it and really fun experience. I also went into the great pyramid and also recommend doing that. Just an FYI, entry into the Great pyramid is closed from noon-1pm. After touring the pyramids and sphinx Essam bought me some local food (Flalela) which was great! He aslo bought me some bananas from a vendor, Egyptian coffee and KFC before he dropped me off for the evening! I couldn’t believe how incredibly gracious he was and he was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and the city. Even though I did the layover tour I didn’t fly out the day of my tour so Essam and his driver very kindly dropped me off at my hostel. My tour with Essam really did make my Cairo trip. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a tour but so happy I did, absolutely worth the money. It is surreal to see the pyramids and sphinx in person. The day after my tour I went to the Egyptian Museum solo and loved it. I could have done the museum on my layover tour but i wanted to have more time at Giza Plateau. Just a tip, get to the museum when it opens, go straight to second floor to see King Tut artifacts before crowds get up there, Tut artifacts are awesome! I thought the mummy room was interesting and i felt it was worth it. There is one mummy that i saw on the second floor that wasn’t in the mummy room...it is near the king tut stuff. Thanks again Essam for an incredible tour and for making my trip so memorable! Oh, and for all of the awesome pictures! :)

8 hour layover guide : Maged - He has patience, he knows secret places where there are almost no tourist, his narrating skills are very good. To make narrating more interesting, he asks before every story, why, when, and how... Every sentence he finishes brings a thrill up the spine. His guide is highly advisable and it's a honor for us to have him as our tourist guide. He made our visit a memory to be remembered for long.

My 21 hour layover was not wasted! - I specifically booked a flight with a 21 hour layover in Cairo so that I could see the pyramids however I got so much more! For an additional cost I was able to go inside of the Great Pyramid, see the solar boat, and go on a camel ride. The Egyptian Museum was full of so many artifacts I coulda stayed there for hours.

Fantastic Layover Tour! - I had an excellent time with Ansary and Ahmed touring around some of Egypt's most spectacular locations. They picked me up from the airport nice and early and there began the tour! Ansary was incredibly knowledgable and conveyed a ton of information in our short time! It was the best solo layover tour I could have asked for! Everything was easy and the guys were so kind and knowledgable. Will definitely book again if I'm in the area!

Excellent value with Mohammed and Achmed - Driver Achmed and guide Mohammed Musa were both punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly! Picked me up from the airport early, Achmed safely navigated while Mohammed was a fountain of knowledge on everything about ancient Egypt. Would recommend!

Wonderful day in Giza with Ehab - We had an adventurous day with Ehab in Cauro and Giza. Pyramids, Churches, Museums oh my! Ehab was informative and provided colorful stories that really brought the places to life. Essam, our driver, was kind and attentive and navigated the wild streets with care and kept us safe! Fantastic, unforgettable day!
