The best by a long way ! - My partner and I had an amazing time with wonderful Ahmed and fantastic guide Mama !
We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Even though I had already been to see the Pyramids in Giza many years ago - their trip made it an unforgettable experience and a much more memorable.
Clearly, very experienced and marshalled the day perfectly which meant we packed so much more into our day than we thought possible !
Keep up the good work.

Amazing day! Thank you! - We did this trip on a Saturday as apparently traffic is a bit quieter in Cairo on a Saturday. Ahmed was our excellent driver and Shrouk was our tour guide once in Cairo.
Ahmed gave us snacks, fresh orange juice, ice cream and drinks through the day. There was WiFi, option to charge our phone with a USB charging cable (which was a godsend). Ahmed also had a TV screen and showed us info videos and we watched films on the way back. On the way there he stopped off at points with clean toilets and pointed out good photo opportunities. He was super friendly and we had a lovely day!
We were picked up at 01:00am from our hotel in Makadi Bay (extra charge for this, but this was made clear to us before the trip). We paid the extra charge on the bus in cash. The bus was really comfortable, plenty of leg room, air con and Ahmed looked after us really well with drinks, snacks and even an ice cream! Shrouk was a great tour guide. She was full of interesting information, was friendly and she asked us what we wanted to do at each site, as a group so it was tailored to us.
We did the optional boat trip to begin (€10 extra each, but again, it is clear it's an extra charge). We felt the boat trip on the Nile was worth it before going to the museum.
Next stop was the museum, this was hectic and busy and you didn't get time to marvel over the exhibits, but I'm glad we went as we got to see some main points. We were given the choice of more time with our tour guide telling us things, or our own free time. We chose to stay with Shrouk but others in the group went off on their own.
Next was papyrus factory. Don't buy anything, the selling tactics are not clear and we felt it was overpriced.
Lunch was a nice bbq meal and buffet to select your own food. Food included, drinks in the restaurant extra (again, made clear to you).
Then was the pyramids and Sphinx. We spent some time with Shrouk being given information and she took photos. We were given the option of what we wanted to do, only enter the area, or go inside different pyramids or do a camel ride/horse carriage. We did not do anything involving animals as it is not clear if they are well looked after or not. We went into the smallest pyramid (extra charge of 280 Egyptian pounds per person). Whilst it wasn't decorated, it was great to go inside. We thought it was worth it. Sphinx was great too.
Then we headed to a perfume factory, I did not go inside and that wasn't a problem.
Ahmed got us to and from Cairo quickly. There's no avoiding it being a long day, but it was well worth it. Would recommend!

Must do activity - Must do activity . Our driver Ahmed and tour guide Shuruq was a fantastic host . We had a lovely time . Ahmed made sure we reach our destination on time and in comfort and Shuruq taught us all the history of Egyptian culture . Our driver came right on time in the morning and reached cairo with spare hour so we did nile cruise when it was quiet.Overall a fun day . I would recommend everyone to try this if you are visiting Egypt

Best driver and tour guide you can get! - Our trip to cairo was the best.
Our driver Ahmed came right on time outside our hotel. He was very friendly and helpful. He made our trip very comfortable while explaining to us about everything on the way there and back. He even stopped car and got us ice creams after vising pyramids.
Our tour guide in cairo Shuruq was the best tour guide you can have.
She was very professional and friendly.
Comfortable drive all the way and great tour guide too.
Highly recommend this day trip to anyone coming to Egypt.

Funtastc trip - Had a funtastic time at with Ahmed (Driver) and Sukra ( Tour guide) … Ahmed made sure everything was safe and helped us reached the destination before expected time . Excellent driving skills and focus . Sukra was like her name a Sunshine . Excellent tour guide skills and patient. She taught us a many things about the Egyptian culture , place and history. She had so much knowledge and could tell how much she loves her culture and periodic history . It was great fun to learn from her and will cherish this knowledge forever. We had a lovely time with her. Overall the trip was great and fun.

Unforgettable trip to Cairo - Look no further, they have found their perfect trip to Cairo. Thanks to Ahmed, the trip in the air-conditioned minibus is perfectly organized and timed. We were in front of all the other suburbs at every stop and were therefore able to take perfect photos without crowds. Also the lunch with grilled kufta and chicken was very good. Memdouh takes care of the tour, even there it doesn't get any better. As a trained Egyptologian who knows everything and knows everyone, he is the perfect guide. Just hammer ! However, it is still good to know, there is a lot to see and so you are already quite tired in the evening, but it is definitely worth it.

100% worth it - The overall experience was 10/10, Ahmed got us to all of the locations very quickly and early before the crowds turned up, we were picked up at 1:30am and back at our hotel by 8:30pm. Our tour guide, Mamduah was very knowledgable and kept us entertained. He took great pictures of us at every location and ensured we were always safe. There were snacks, drinks, wifi, phone chargers and air con always available on the bus.
This was a really good and memorable experience, I would definitely recommend!

First class experience - This trip was amazing due to Ahmed!! He looked after everyone really well- provided snacks, drinks, WiFi and films on the TV to make our long journey as pleasant as possible. He went the extra mile for our daughter who was sick on the trip and made her experience better by treating her like a princess! His time keeping was first class and his service, attitude and personality could not be faulted. I would highly recommend booking this trip with Ahmed.

5 stars ***** from the start to the last moment - The whole tour was greatly organized, from the start to the last moment. There were no other English speaking participants at our day, so we get both private driver and guide just for us. The journey was long (as expected :) ) but smooth and comfy. The guide was very friendly, full of knowledge and open to some minor changes of the itinerary according to our preferences. At our return, the manager called to the car to ensure everything was OK - really appreciated :) Thank you Rameshka Tour, you made our day unforgettable!!! :)
