Fantastic day trip in Cairo!
Fantastic day trip in Cairo! Our enthusiastic and interactive guide made the experience so fun—snapping lots of great photos and keeping the day well-organized. The Egyptian Museum was informative, lunch was lovely, and exploring the old town was a highlight. Only wish we had a bit more info on the pyramids, but overall a brilliant, well-planned tour. Highly recommend!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eine gut organisierte Tour
Diese Tour war wegen der frühen Abholzeit vom Hotel voll, aber ich würde definitiv sagen, es hat sich gelohnt.
Unser Guide war äußerst sachkundig und alles wurde sowohl auf Englisch als auch auf Italienisch für die anderen Gäste, die auf der gleichen Tour wie wir waren, akribisch und einwandfrei erklärt.
Die Niltour fand zuerst statt, was sehr schön war. Danach folgte die Museumsführung und anschließend das Mittagessen, die alle hervorragend waren.
Nach dem Mittagessen machten wir die Pyramiden, was wieder erstaunlich war, aber erwarten Sie, dass die Einheimischen versuchen, Sie zu locken, ihre Waren zu kaufen, was zu erwarten ist. Nach den Pyramiden wurden wir in einen lokalen familiengeführten Parfümladen gebracht, wo wir verschiedene Düfte probierten, was überraschend schön war. Danach machten wir Halt bei McDonald's und dann zum Flughafen für unsere Reise zurück nach Sharm.
Die Tour war vom Start bis zum Ende gut organisiert und die Guides sorgten dafür, dass alle genau beobachtet und betreut wurden. Vor allem fühlten wir uns sicher.
Wie ich bereits erwähnt habe, war diese Tour voll und manchmal fühlten wir uns alle sehr müde durch den frühen Start, aber ich würde es bei der Gelegenheit wieder tun. Es war sehr angenehm und eine wirklich gute Möglichkeit, eines der Wunder der Welt zu sehen, wenn Sie in Sharm bleiben. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Honest recent review for family
We went yesterday, family with 8 and 13 year olds. Very long tiring day but you are looked after the entire journey. Disappointed the collection time changed from 4am to 2:40am only to be sat in the taxi for an hour while we collected other people. Taxi driver was quite rude sending messages “bus will leave” at 2:35am when I had already replied to say we were on our way.
Other than that no need to worry about connections. We had to get our visa stamped in the morning so after checkin we went to passport control to a small office and it was done there before going through domestic departures. Taxi driver said it will cost more but it didn’t. Met by Ahmed in Cairo, there were 15 on the trip in total in 2 buses and he was a very knowledgable guide switching between buses and languages the entire day. No choice on how the day ran so we were taken for a coffee stop first then to the Nike cruise. £10 extra. You don’t have to do it and can wait with the driver if you prefer but it was a nice boat trip and quite a relaxing way to wake up. Then onto the museum. Very busy and without a guide it would take forever. My 8 year old is adhd and struggled a little with this but Ahmed was very informative and took us to the main points. Then taken to a papyrus shop. This is a tourist trap and would be nice if we could chose to leave this out. You don’t have to buy but staff are quite rude if you don’t so we got back in the van to wait for the rest. Then onto lunch. Very nice lunch but not much time. Then to the pyramids- amazing and Ahmed again guides us well. We did split into two groups those who wanted camel rides and those who did not. The camel rides were £10 he collects for first but then they won’t let you off the camel unless you pay more so again another tourist trip but you are in Giza so expect this. The younger guide did try to help when a sales man pushed “gifts”onto my children. Then expected money. Not much time at the sphinx and only taken to one view point which was the closest and when I thought we were going to the furthest view point we were taken to an essential oils shop. All very nice offered tea and to smell oils but all of a sudden you have 4 men waiting to take your order to buy and they are far from cheap. Again I feel optional. We had an hour spare so stopped at MacDonalds where Ahmed left us. A great day was had.
Pros: very informative guide, felt safe with our driver Mr X , not too much walking so kids managed well, bus hop
On off around the pyramids
Cons: charged adult price for 13 year old yet she was given child tickets for museum and Giza, tourist trap shops should be optional, for the price a separate taxi to collect us so not at2:40am!
Definitely felt safe and saw the site we wanted and would recommend them as a company to go with!

A Wonderful Day in Cairo
I took my two children aged 13 and 11 to Cairo with Book Tour Egypt and we had a wonderful day. I booked it from the UK as it was the main reason that I wanted to visit Egypt.
The communication via WhatsApp from beginning to end was excellent. I had lots of questions before I went ahead and all were answered promptly.
Khaled was our tour guide and met us in Cairo. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and so enthusiastic. He kept my children engaged and laughing throughout the whole day. They learnt so much from a truly unforgettable experience.
It is a very long day, early plane there and late plane back but well worth it.
The camel ride at the Pyramids was fantastic and the boat ride was lovely and relaxing at the end of the day.
Some people have complained about the perfume factory stop, but in fact it was a welcome rest in an air conditioned building after the heat of the pyramids. We didn’t buy anything and it was fine. The man even offered me another cup of tea after I’d said I wasn’t going to buy, which I thought was a nice touch.
Overall I would definitely use Book Tour Egypt again if I come back. It is so much cheaper than the main tour operators who do the exact same tour for almost double the price.

Erstaunlich und perfekt organisiert.
Die ganze Reise war von Anfang bis Ende erstaunlich. Die Kommunikation war ausgezeichnet. Es gab nie Bedenken, wie es funktionieren würde. Die Abholung war nahtlos und die Flüge funktionierten super.
Der Guide machte die Reise erstaunlich, er war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Er kannte viele interessante Sachen und das Museum war dadurch wirklich gut. Das Mittagessen war köstlich, Buffet-Stil und viel Auswahl auch für meine wählerische 13-Jährige.
Die Pyramiden selbst waren unglaublich.
Wir nahmen die Extras von Kamelreiten und Bootsfahrt. Das Boot war toll, ich liebte das Kamel nicht!
Wir hielten am Papyrus- und Parfümplatz. Nicht für mich, aber andere mögen es.
Insgesamt makelloser (aber langer) Tag.

Bester Service aller Zeiten
Tolle Bewirtung, ausgezeichnetes Zeitmanagement & klare Erklärung durch Reiseleiter Herr Ahmed, ganztägige Nutzung. Wir hatten ein Team von 11 inc Kinder und waren sehr zufrieden mit der Tour in der allerersten Zeit der Nachfrage. Wir empfehlen andere als vertrauenswürdigen und zuverlässigen Reiseanbieter.

The Best Way to Explore Egypt
I booked a trip with Book Tours that covered Saqqara, the Giza Pyramids, and a Nile cruise which is optional and it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and stress-free. Ahmed was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and brought Egypt’s rich history to life in such an engaging way. And Moukhta, our driver, was simply the best professional, calm, and always had a smile eveb with crazy cairo traffic 😅. If you’re a history geek (like me!), this experience is a must. I’d definitely book with them again without hesitation. Highly recommend even ad a solo trip!

Grande esperienza
È stato tutto ok! Organizzazione e tempistiche calcolate in modo perfetto!
Driver, biglietti aerei e delle attrazioni, tutto ok.
La nostra guida Benedetto assolutamente bravissimo, preparato e molto disponibile. Parla fluentemente italiano e inglese con grande padronanza.
Anche il pranzo organizzato molto carino, oltre alle attività già previste dal tour.
Unica precisazione: non abbiamo avuto un singolo minuto per lo shop del museo egizio, siamo scappati fuori. poi però è stata organizzata presentazione di 30 minuti in un negozio di profumi (attività non richiesta/prevista nel tour).
Avrei voluto poter acquistare liberamente allo shop del museo.
Giro al souk molto carino guidati da Benedetto (non consigliato andare senza guida).
