A brilliant two days - We had the most amazing 2-day excursion. Hosni and Omar made sure we saw all the important sites. Hosni was so friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel very at home and was a super guide. Omar was a great driver. We cannot recommend this package enough. Thank you so much.

Professional guide and all very easy - Our guide Hosni was great and took us around Giza and Cairo. He was on time, very knowledgeable, professional and it was great to have a private car for air conditioning, quick drop offs and ability to leave stuff behind. Hosni took great pictures, took us to some local shops to learn about traditions and also had great places for us to eat on both days. We preferred our day in Giza at the Pyramids than wandering around churches in Cairo. The Mohammad Ali Mosque is worth the visit though. One minus was the tour company asked us to bring cash to pay for the tour. We got our cash in London at the bank before our trip. On the day the company did not accept certain US notes so we had to do online part payments. This resulted in additional fees/charges for us. Lack of communication around what versions of the US note they accepted was frustrating. We had no issue using those notes in other places in Egypt so it felt unnecessary to have this drama at the end of the trip.

Cairo for the culturally curious! - I greatly enjoyed this tour: the itinerary was completely bespoke (I had already visited some other highlights in a different context) and my guide Hosni once more knocked it out the park in terms of quality of his information and guidance. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour! - So glad we booked Deluxe Travel.for our short trip to Egypt. Our guide and driver (Hosni and Omar, respectively) for the four days were incredibly - Hosni was so knowledgable and the two of the them were so helpful, kind and friendly , particularly without two small.children. We visted the pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara on day one, Museum and Citadel on day 2, Alexandria on day 3 and Al Faiyum on Day 4. We had a wonderful trip! We'd highly recommend this tour company!

Quality tour with a nice, friendly and knowledgeable guide - We took 2 day-tour with Zizou to visit the pyramids (Saqara, Dahshour, Memphis and Giza) and Coptic Cairo + Salah El-Din Citadel. We liked a lot all the clear and professional explanations of our guide in a very good English. The driver was also very good and the car clean and comfortable. Good restaurant for lunch. We highly recommend this tour with this guide.

Wonderful introduction to Egypt and the pyramids. - This tour was a wonderful introduction to Egypt. We enjoyed seeing all the pyramids and learning about their history. Our guide, Hosny, was personable, knowledgeable, and kind. He insured that we had many opportunities for good photographs, and he took us to the best places to take pictures. Highly recommend!

Definitely coming to cairo again - The history was amazing and ecstatic. Our tour guide Zizou gave a very thorough explanation of the History and showed us all of the right places. He even bought us some falafel for the road. I would recommend this tour to anybody, especially for non-Muslims who love to learn about Islamic history.

Fabulous Experience 5* - Had Mo as our guide, he is awesome, was knowledgeable, gave us alot of interesting information of the places we visited. He also gave us useful tips at each location and was friendly without being too pushy. Everything was well organised and he was on top of everything, we had virtually no wait times at all despite the crowds at each location. There was a slight hiccup when the tour company gave him the wrong address in the morning but he was responsive and quickly found us! :D Our driver Omar was friendly and drove safely. By far our fav tour in egypt :)
