Fabulous, worry- free, tours in Luxor and Cairo! - Really incredible trip to Luxor and Cairo made so easy with Live Egypt Tours. Maro was the main person we liaised with. We had a 1 day tour in Luxor where we visited the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor temple, Karnak Temple, an Alabaster shop with demo, and a complimentary Felucca ride. The guide was great. Each site was breathtaking! In Cairo we had a day at the 3 Neolithic pyramids of Giza (a view from a camel ride there isn’t to be missed!) The Sphinx, a papyrus shop with demo and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Our guide Maii was excellent! On her guidance we visited the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation (NMEC) drove round the Citadel in the old town and visited Khan el Khalili (a famous Souk) ourselves- we asked the tour company to arrange the car and driver for that. The royal mummies’ hall at the NMEC was astounding. Overall I’d highly recommend both tours and Live Egypt Tours was easy to communicate with, reasonable in cost, safe and thorough!

Personal, private and curated Cairo, Giza, Dahshur & Saqqara Tour - Outstanding end to end service. We arranged a private tour which include airport door to door pickup at both ends of our Cairo break. We had Maii as our guide for two days who was bright, engaging and hugely knowledgeable (also fantastic and helpful with our two small children. Big shout out to Ahmed our driver as well who was helpful and courteous at all times) We felt totally looked after, safe and secure at all times in a very big and noisy city which was really important for us with our children. I think our trip was made so special and the experience so curated to our personal preferences because we used this company, which came from a friends recommendation. Would 100% use them again next time we visit Cairo. Thank you

Bucket List trip did not disappoint! - We came to Egypt with our two teenage boys - we fully enjoyed and learned so much! We had a great experience with Maii - a fantastic, knowledgeable guide with perfect English and the most lovely way about her. The pyramids, mythology, history and meaning all came alive for us. We would highly recommend Maii to our friends.

Wonderful Experience - I thoroughly recommend this tour. My guide, Sara, was knowledgable on all aspects of the Pyramids Complex and more so on the must-see exhibits in the Egyptian Museum. I was picked up from my hotel on time, my car was clean and appeared well maintained. I was driven to Giza, my entry ticket was provided to me and Sara brought me all over the complex, including a spot where I could gaze over all three main Pyramids on my own. Believe me, finding a spot where you are alone in Giza is next to impossible. She got me into the complex early enough to beat the main crowd too. I was even offered a camel ride! From Giza I was driven to the Egyptian Museum in Tahir Square. Please note that at the time of writing the museum contents are in the process of being moved to the magnificent new Grand Egyptian Museum - Sara will offer a choice depending on what you want to see. I wanted to see King Tut's treasures, especially the iconic Death Mask so it was the Old Museum for me. NOTE: you are strictly prohibited from photographing the treasures. Don't be a dick like some people and try sneak a picture, the security guys will not take it lightly. Again, I highly recommend this tour, you will feel safe, informed and respected.

Day Tour in Cairo - We had a memorable day tour in Cairo. Since we had limited time, our guide Amr made sure we got to experience the most iconic sites, while filling in the gaps with his deep knowledge of the history of Egypt. Highly recommended.

Pyramids & Museum Tour! - My wife and I traveled to Cairo and booked a private tour for the pyramids and Egyptian museum. Maii was our guide and she was fun and lively! We enjoyed the knowledge she had to share about the sites. Amazing history. In all we saw the Pyramids, Sphinx, Papyrus shop, and Egyptian Museum. The entry fees were not included to note. Only Egyptian pounds accepted at site entrances. Very cool experience and felt completely safe amidst the global pandemic. Definitely worth booking with Maii!
