Fabulous trip to Cairo - Don't get me wrong it was a long day but from the start when the guys picked us up at the hotel it was fabulous. We were a party of 4 ,The drivers were great supplied us with snacks and drinks and made plenty of stops for comfort breaks.
When we arrived in Cairo and met up with our guide/ Egyptologist Hany, it got even better. I don't think there is anything about Egypt's he doesn't know and explains things so well with a great sense of humour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a personalised tour of Cairo and if you can, ask for Hany as your guide. The last time we did this we flew to Cairo but this was far better.

We had a perfect day full of discoveries and interesting facts. Our guide Mohamed was always there for us. 👍👍👍 - Egyptian Museum, Pyramids and Sphinx with Manolotours - a real experience. Highly recommended. Easy booking via WhatsApp from Germany and service from A to Z.

Amazing tour - Our trip was amazing. Hany was an amazing guide. He was very sociable and very interactive. He encouraged us to ask questions and did a fantastic job at sparking our interest. He knew the best spots to take pictures and took the liberty of taking a lot of pictures as well. It seemed like he was very well connected as we were able to skip all the lines at the museums and the pyramids. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed this trip were I to do this in a group setting.
Our driver, Mahmoud, is the best driver ever. He asked us multiple times if we were comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, this was the best possible way to explore Cairo and the pyramids.
Egyptian people are very welcoming and very hospitable and we liked everything about it.

Professional organised tour of Cario. Must do when visiting Hurghada despite the long drive - My second excursion out of Hurghada and organised once again by Mahmoud for our group of 7.
Picked up by a modern clean minibus at 2am for our 6 hour drive to Cairo. Given the roads, I would not recommend this for anyone that is pregnant.
Met by Hany, our local guide in Cario who was amazing and knowledgeable. He also recommended the camel ride with tutu ( optional extra) which I highly recommend, and gives you a chance to see the pyramids in its glory plus able to go into one of the smaller pyramids without an6 extra cost.
Boat ride (also optional extra) was good to get some respite from the heat.
Not rushed to leave Cario and didn’t leave until after 6pm after a fun packed day.

Amazing day - Such an amazing day. Based on the reviews we requested Hany as a tour guide, and I'd recommend doing the same.
Hany was really knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture. He also didn't make us feel pressured into trip add-ons.
Having a private tour gave us extra time to see what we wanted to see, over doing a bus tour.
Be aware that the driving in Cairo and Egypt in general is quite different to in the west.
We chose to add-on a Nile boat trip (~£10pp), a tour of Old Cairo (~£10pp) and camel ride to a Giza Pyramid viewing point where we were able to get great pictures.
I'd honestly recommend doing them all if you get chance.

Memorable day in Cairo - We had a fantastic day from start to finish! The driver was early at the hotel and we were in capable hands all the journey. The company was kind enough to gift us 4 scarfs ready for our desert adventure! We picked up our tour guide (Abeer) in Cairo and she was an excellent guide and knew all the facts at her fingertips. She also was great giving us advice and do”s and don’t which was really helpful on our first visit to Egypt. We arrived early at Giza and visited the pyramids and sphinx which was awesome.ot wasn’t too busy
. Do make sure you go inside a pyramid, it’s really worth it. Also had a camel ride at the site. Optional visit to papyrus workshop which was worth it and we did end up buying a picture!
Then onto lunch which was really nice. You must try the fresh smoothies!!
We drove through Cairo which was and interesting experience in itself!! The Egyptian museum was great and
Abeer showed us the main points
of interest and then we had free time to ourselves. A long day but definitely worth it!! We even had a call from the manager Mahmoud to ensure that we had enjoyed our day. Fantastic customer service, I would definitely use the company again on our next visit.

5 stars, definitely book it! - Wow wow wow what an amazing trip! everyone was so nice and looked after us very well. We thought for a trip of our lifetime it will be better to book a private tour to the pyramids instead of a group tour and we was definitely right. Our tour guide Abeer was amazing, so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she gave us all the time we need, for pictures, to explore inside the pyramids and took us to all the best spots to see everything. She explained everything so beautifully and made our trip so much better (she also takes the best pictures!) our driver was also so good, very comfortable car and very accommodating. He would stop whenever you need for a toilet or a break and we felt very safe with him (especially driving in the extremely busy Cairo). If you’re thinking of booking this then I can honestly say do it! We had an amazing time, it’s a long drive from Hurghada but it is so worth it. I recommend it completely, you won’t regret it.

Very good overall experience - If I could give 4.5 out of 5, this would be our review. The drivers where both good guys, arrived on time, snacks of crisps water and fizzy drinks arranged through Mohamed who owns the company. The vehicle was a minivan, in good condition and the air-conditioning worked well. Communication in arranging the trip was very good. I'm inquisitive naturally and would have wanted to spend some of the 6 hours travel time with the drivers getting to know more about where we were en route, local Egyptian ways of life etc. I do appreciate that was not advertised in the package. They took turns between sleeping and driving and drove safely however as a UK citizen found it unnerving them using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. On connecting with our guide Sarawat in Cairo, he was friendly and did take care of entry to the museum, it is obvious he is well connected and known around town with his peers throughout the day. In the museum we focussed on key artifacts and he then left us for free time. This was the same when visiting the pyramids and sphinx also included and taken care of by Sarawat. You'll need 10LE if you want the toilet at the pyramids We did get the opportunity to do an optional boat trip on the Nile and Sarawat used his connections to book a large boat for 3 of us for £15 each which considering it probably takes over 20 people was excellent and lasted around 40 minutes. The food was good at lunch BBQ/grilled chicken and lamb kofta, note you'll need cash for drinks not included and you'll not be able to take your own. We were also encouraged by Sarawat to visit various other shops to buy papyrus pictures, perfume and souvenir stall.
Overall a very long and enjoyable day but preferred driving seeing the country and having space and a personal guide than being in a group and flying. I also enjoyed driving through Cairo and seeing the hustle and bustle of normal daily life. Would recommend this trip and considering what was included was good value.
