Makadi Beach - Cairo - The trip was absolutely perfect—so much fun and truly unforgettable. The pyramids were awe-inspiring, the museum was a fascinating dive into history, and the professional drivers made everything smooth and safe. Our guide was amazing—funny, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. I loved every moment!

A great day out with an amazing Guide - A very well organised tour and well worth the 5+ hours journey from Hurghada. The highlight of the tour was our guide Ahmed! He made the experience extra special with his enthusiasm and his in-depth knowledge of the Pyramids and ancient Egypt. He took us to the best locations for viewing and photographing the pyramids, took us inside of one at no extra charge (you normally pay entrance and it is not cheap!). The tour did include a couple of shop-stops (papyrus and perfume shops) but there was no hard selling and I actually found them enjoyable and informative. Communication with the tour operator was very efficient. They updated us regularly on any changes in schedule and checked in on us a couple of times during the trip to ensure we were happy. The drive was long but the drivers were very accommodating and stopped for regular breaks. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful day out.

THANKS TO RAFFAT - Many thanks for an extraordinary day.
We were very apprehensive because of the reviews.
Yet we spent the best day with a kind and perfect guide who knew his story and took us through history.
The food and service was perfect.
We were a small group of 6, we could really enjoy every moment, ask any questions we wanted.
I thank the agency because it was very present always asking me if it was okay.
Little thank you to RAFFAT our guide who was just exceptional.

Trip to Cairo from Hurghada - We had great time during the tour with our guise Mario, who was really kind and friendly, and also shared with us a lot of fun facts about Egyption history. In terms of improvement, the time for the pyramids could be increased instead of the papyrus museum and the shopping time.

Two-Day Cairo Discovery by Book Tour Egypt Hurghada - Beautiful excursion to Cairo from our hotel in Makadi. We had asked just 48 hours before, the flawless organization of 2 days of visit for four people with one night on site for more discoveries, all by minibus. What good surprises with an exceptional driver and 2 guides to measure up. There were 6 of us in the van leaving from Hurgadha. Of course the journey by road is long because secured by many
police checkpoint , but it is quickly forgotten by the beautiful visits. On the first day the Egyptian museum, pyramids, sphinx, a walk on the Nile, papyrus stalls and essential oils are must-sees. On the morning of the second day, from the room of the Nun Pyramids Inn, what a surprise to discover the alignment of the four pyramids. As for visits, do not miss in the old town: the citadel and its mosque gang, the Coptic Orthodox churches, the largest bazaar. The guide offered us to taste local food, we did not hesitate! What discoveries and contrasts, it is a journey to remember, and for a more than reasonable price!

Beautiful hike cairo - I did the excursion to Cairo with friends and I must say that I was really satisfied! All arranged well, they pick you up directly at the resort. The talented guide speaks Italian and follows you throughout the day. Very competitive prices compared to other agencies. They respond immediately on whatsapp and extremely available for any information. Every time I come to Egypt they are my point of reference for excursions.

Fun but don’t do the camel or horse rides - The transportation went smooth and I enjoyed my time in the museum! My guide was great and had a lot of information! The piramides and sphinx were great to see. However: please please please DON’T do a camel or horse ride. They get whipped for nothing a dozen times and it’s so cruel to see. I learned from my mistake. I could cry at how badly they get treated and wished I never let myself get persuaded to do it.
