Day 1: The Best and First Tour of Egypt - Our first day exploring Egypt with the wonderful, very qualified Amira Abdelraouf! She was ever so knowledgeable about Egyptian history and religion. We will be seeking her expertise for future activities over the next few days! Thanks for being the best guide, and constantly engaging, we had some good laughs too! ❤️ Amira took lots of photos so we can forever cherish the memories, I have attached some, apologies if I look homeless, it is not the photographer, it is me haha! Also shout out for our private driver Mo Salah, whom without, this wouldn't be possible, excellent driver, kept very safe throughout! ☺️

Excellent service and a new friend! - Amira… Princess of the Nile and the best tour guide of Egypt! We spent two days with her, touring around sacred sites of Cairo and Giza followed by museums that are rich and ancient heritage and culture. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about the history of Egypt. We saw the pyramids of Giza, the national Museum, old Cairo, Citadel, The Hanging Church, St. George, a sacred Christian site where Jesus and Mary stayed for three months and so much more! We enjoy excellent foods, shopping and made a new friend that will forever be in my heart. I look forward to bringing more people back and seeing Amira again.

Had a wonderful experience - This was my favourite tour in Egypt because the tour guide was amazing. I recommend Amira highly! This excursion took us to various mosques, churches and a synagogue. Amira got us hooked with the way she explained the history and significance of each place. I was in awe after each stop. I can’t say enough good things about Amira because she really made the experience lovely. My husband and I went on other tours (prearranged with other tour companies before our trip), eg to the pyramids of Giza, but we liked this one the best. I found Pharaonic Tours to be the best tour company by far while in Egypt.

Fantastic tour - Mo Salah and Amica were fabulous! They really listened to what we were interested in and made it happen. The bazaar in Old Town was incredible. Would highly recommend both of these guides for your next trip.

Terrific tour of Old Cairo and the market - Mo’s driving and navigation were terrific. We toured Old Cairo, two different mosques, several shops for oils and papyrus and the big market. Big thanks to Ameri, we would have been hopelessly lost in the maze of shops, but it was fascinating!!

Great combination! - The tour was fantastic and well balanced, where we saw thousands of years of civilization, culture, and history. The museums and Citadel are incredible places. Fatima, our tour guide was incredible and so was our driver Mufasa. Both spoke great English and shared with us many stories and history. Also, they were very personable, accommodated to our needs and fun! Great combination!

Cairo City Tour - Were on a field trip in September 2024. At our request, the program was slightly reduced because it was severely limited in time. But we were happy with everything. Have had time to get an impression of Cairo, see iconic places and listen to some information about the city. Guide answered all our questions. Really liked the flexible approach and interesting tour.

Great program to integrate standard tours - The tour allows you to see the main attractions in Cairo regarding churches and mosques. The prepared guide provided simple and targeted information leaving time for photos. It didn't interact much and was a bit hasty at the market, but it was objectively very hot to enjoy the day to the full. Very attentive driver and guide in managing the logistics of the tour.
