Layover Day Tour - Great tour with Hemada! I was recommended to him from a friend who toured with him back in 2017. He was super flexible when our flight was 6 hours late and also was very accommodating to my mom and aunt who have mobility issues when walking long distances. A really great tour that he customized for us. Made for a perfect day trip/ layover. I’d definitely recommend!

Cairo Layover Tour - I had a tour today lead by Mina Kromel. He did a great job of telling me about the places we were and coordinating anything I requested to see, eat, or buy. I would definitely take another tour with Mina

Amazing Guide/Egyptologist, however customer service from the company is lacking - This review will be two parts. One for our guide and one for Egypt fun tours the company. Our guide Ahmed Kellawy was fantastic. I would rate him 5 stars as he went above and beyond for us. During our 11 layover in Cairo, we booked the 5 hour Giza pyramids and Sphinx tour. Arrival and pickup went smoothly as we were met shortly after getting off the plane by someone to help us through customs and get our visa on arrival which greatly expedited the process. We then went to meet the driver and guide and put our luggage in the car. Shortly after getting going we were told that due to a private event going on in the area, we might not be able to actually get into the site. Upon arrival at the pyramid site, we were told to turn around as the site and adjacent streets were all closed off to the public and tourists. As a result, we were not able to actually visit the pyramids and sphinx. However, Ahmed worked very hard to at least get us a decent view of the site from above a building. We then went on to grab some local food, visit a papyrus shop, visit the old City and bazaar, and then dropped back off at the hotel. Ahmed is incredibly knowledgeable about everything Egyptian and was able to answer any questions we had. He gave great explanations about what we were seeing, the areas we were in, and of Cairo in general. He made us feel safe during our visit and got us into areas where we were intially told we would not be allowed (obviously just a money grab by the locals which is all too common). Overall, he is a great tour guide and I highly recommend him. In addition, our driver Abdul was also great. He got us around the crazy streets of Cairo and from place to place in one piece. Now as far as Egypt Fun Tours the company goes, I would rate them 2 stars. The second they knew it could be a possibility we would not be able to actually visit the pyramids and sphinx they should have let us know to ask us if we still wanted to proceed. This private event at the site was obviously planned ahead of time and they would have knew well ahead the restrictions in the area if they cared at all to check. That was the main attraction and obviously the whole point in us booking this layover tour. Highly disappointed in their service considering the reviews here. The only redeeming quality of this company is their guides. tl:dr Booked 5 hour layover pyramids and Sphinx tour. Told upon pickup that we would not be able to enter site due to private event that day. Guide, however was wonderful, informative, and got us where we needed to go and went above and beyond to get us a view of the pyramids. Egypt Fun Tours the company, obviously doesn't really care about their customers as they should have let me know the second they knew it was a possibility we might not enter the site.
