Our guide Zenab, and driver Hussaim made the trip really comfortable. We were 5 in the group . We were picked up from the airport right on time. Zenab was incredibly knowledgeable, and conveyed us a ton of information in our short time. Every thing went easy and our host was very kind. Keep up your good work Zenab and Hussaim . Thanks again for your time and dedications.
This was an incredible experience. Would highly recommend this tour to see pyramids and experience Cairo.
Great experience with Noor, private tour tailored to our family needs and 10 hour layover. We traveled with a 6 year, 3 year, 1 year old. Noor was knowledgeable and showed us the highlights, including a great local lunch. He changed the day tour as per our wants and brought us to the airport with time to spare. One downside is they take you to a papyrus and essential oil shop- both aimed at tourists but I did buy something from each since I was limited on time in Cairo. Highly recommend the tour
Great tour, was able to see so much throughout the day and our tour guide knew everything. Whatever we asked she knew. Great service and also great food.
We had the best day being shown round by Nour. He took us to such fabulous uncrowded viewpoints, took photos for us (very good ones) and was our personal guide around the sights and in the museum. He saved us from over zealous street vendors too! Our driver was also amazing in the very challenging Cairo driving conditions! We were dropped off so close to entrances of everything!
My husband and I did a layover tour at the end of July 2023 and it was great - we would definitely recommend this tour. Our guide messaged us the evening before to ensure we were picked up on time. It was the perfect way to see Cairo. Our flight landed early morning so we went straight to the pyramids and avoided the crowds / afternoon heat. From the pyramids, we had a short camel ride, and then we got to see the sphinx. We had a driver and a guide which was really helpful as there aren’t many places closely to park so we would jump out with the guide and then the driver would come back to pic
