Piramids, sphinx, sakkara, memphis - Had reserved a tour guide by the company and Haidy was my guide with a driver, she was absolutely amazing, brought me to all places, explained me about history, and talked to me very friendly about anything else, from the company I received what a bought, but the guide was the special think of tour, made me so comfortable! As soon I hope to be here again because of her good treatment. High recommend!!!

Cairo At Its Best - This was a terrific tour. My guide, Rana, is extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, her English is impeccable, and best of all, she's a delightful person. The driver (I'm sorry I forgot his name!) was extremely adept, and I felt safe at all times (a small miracle considering Cairo traffic!). I would certainly book with the company again as it was a terrific itinerary and a great overview of the city if you have limited time.

As good as I expected - After I booked giza tour I decided to book this tour also especially that my hotel was far from Cairo. So I booked this tour to not miss Cairo. And it was totally worth it. Islamic and Coptic cairo were very interested how the 3 religions placed in one place. And the citadel a place wasn't on my list but it would be stupid if I missed this beautiful place. For sure there's no words can describe the Egyptian museum.

Day to remember - Unfortunately this day we didn't have mohamed the guide but we had Adel. Which he was really good also as same as mohamed was. He was knowledgeable also and helpful to give us some tips and tricks to see some things not a lot of people knows about. Ahmed was with us also this day with his good driving skills. The Egyptian museum was fantastic and we spent a lot of time there and it worth it. Islamic and coptic Cairo was both fantastic and beautiful. Funny how we found in coptic cairo a greek church calls Saint George church which was so so so beautiful inside and outside. The citadel was so huge and beautiful and the story Adel told us about how and why they make it was so admirable.

Overall not so bad - Tour started with bad experience as they didn’t contact to us until last minute and we were one who reached them. Our tour guide Rasha was great and knowledgeable and our driver was nice. Quick way to get to know around Cairo.

Great Guide and Great Tour but Shorter than Expected - I used this tour the second day I was here and Zaresha (so sorry if I butchered her name) was a great guide who I felt like I could have a laugh with and answered many questions I had about the various sites visited. I had a great time visiting the Citadel and Coptic Cairo, and really enjoyed making my wish at one of the Churches. I felt really comfortable throughout the whole time there and she was happy to take as many photos as I liked and allowed to spend some time taking my own photos as well. Things I noted were: 1) that the tour was shorter than I expected. It didn’t not actually take me to Islamic Cairo (granted that’s nearly what was listed on the itinerary despite the heading stating otherwise) and we didn’t do the Museum either - but I planned to go here on my own anyway so it wasn’t too bad. My tour only lasted for about 2 and a half hours - though it felt much longer in the best way. I did have the option of going to the Civilisation museum which I declined. 2) it started late. This was more due to the owner of the company being hard to contact - but also me changing my pickup location last minute, which they did accommodate. 3) I was taken to a Papyrus shop. However, I did not feel pressured to buy anything at all, and I got to drink tea. Overall, I think having Zaresha as my guide made my tour feel a lot more worth it versus it being someone with less charisma. It’s worth it if you want to get your bearings around the big areas of Cairo without worrying about getting Maps up or taking metro/Ubers constantly. But you could probably get around these areas on your own if you have thick enough skin - especially if you’re not travelling solo.
