Awesome Layover Tour! - It was really great to be able to see the pyramids in a day on my way home. I had a long layover and took advantage of the time to see cairo. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience - Osama is incredible! I also felt very safe and protected by his driver Ahmed. I could not be happier with my decision to purchase this tour. I will never forget this experience. Osama is an incredible historian, guide, and all around people person.

The most beautiful and knowledgeable tour. - We only had 7 hours to see Cairo. It was amazing! Service was impeccable, our tour guide, Hazem, was knowledgeable, kind and definitely made our trip! We learnt so much about the attractions but also life in and around Egypt itself. He said he wanted us to feel comfortable and as if we were friends and he kept to that promise. Although a quick tour due to our travelling, we saw so much! Will be coming back to Cairo for longer and use this tour company again, well worthwhile. Thank you for the most amazing day!

Great Tour Sans Perfume House! - I loved that I was the only person on this tour! My pickup and dropoff location changed last minute and the tour company was so flexible. My driver, Mahmoud, was great! He made the tour more fun!! My tour guide, Mohammed, was so knowledgeable and patient. This tour worked well for my long layover in Cairo! My highlights were the Pyramids, Sphinx, stopping to see the Nile River, and driving around Cairo. Lunch was just okay. The only thing I absolutely didn't like was the tour addition to the perfume house! I found the man showing me the oils quite inappropriate with his scenarios of when to use the different oils. They hope you'll purchase after their presentation. I'd recommend this tour without the addition to the perfume house!

Pyramids and Sphinx tour - Picked up at the airport. Good communication at pick up. Only me throughout the experience which had it's positives and negatives. Very friendly guide and driver, lots of information and knowledge given by the tour lead. We stopped off for an Egyptian coffee and a breakfast sandwich which was delicious, getting some authentic food before we went to see the sights. Was excited about seeing the pyramids and sphinx and the guide was extremely helpful, taking photos throughout the day and generally did a good job with anything I required. As the day went on, the enthusiasm was wearing off and it felt like I was being rushed with everything. Especially when we went to see the Sphinx as that was a huge part of why I was there. It was like, lets get a couple of photos in one place and then hurried to the little shops trying to sell you everything that they have planned on route for you to go to as part of your tour. All in all I did enjoy it as I saw what I went for but do not allow the guide to dictate what you want to do as the experience should be yours. Was good and would recommend if you think you can stand your ground and demand what you want to see and don't want to see. They will expect a tip at the end of the tour, I felt pressured to do so when they are standing staring at you. So just be prepared!

A complete waste of my time and £240! - It didn't start well at 7.20am when I couldn't find anyone with my name on a board, so wandered around looking for the guide and driver Having read reviews I was upfront and explained my walking wasn't great but as long as regular stops i get by, expecting us to work out a doable route. At 7.40 we were on our way and as it was early Cairo was a dream to drive through and we were soon at the Pyramids. I was given a few rehearsed facts/sentances and was disappointed at the lack of depth and time spent on the history. I could of caught a taxi and flicked through Google but choose a private tour to meet my needs. and expectations of history to be told. After 20 minutes of being told to take a camel ride at an extra cost we were back in the car, i thought to another area, it was lost in communication as i understood she said there was a view point for all 9 Pyramids and thats where we were going but informed no leaving. I was then taken to a perfume/oil shop that wasn't open as it was only 9am. as i had no interested and there were no staff present we left. It's 9am. in Cairo and told nowhere to go now so they took me to friends bazaar where i brought over priced items just to leave. My flight wasn't till 3pm and still had several hours so suggested a museum, the guide came back with an additional price of $35 for guides time (already paid for) plus entrance fee. I had enough by then and asked to go back to the airport. At 10.45am i was back at the airport to wait till 2pm check-in and 3pm flight. I'd call this company out as scam artists!

Avoid at all cost - The tour was not good at all. Only one pyramid was shown from close while others were a flyby. The driver didn’t speak English at all. We had to communicate via Google translate until he picked up the guide close to Giza pyramid complex. The guide was not knowledgeable at all. I highly doubt if he was an Egyptologist. Also the guide did not take us close to sphinx lying that it was closed. I saw many people visiting it while leaving the site. We were unnecessarily taken to a papyrus shop for no reason and they tried to take us to a perfume shop. Avoid them at all cost as much better alternatives are available.
