Do it or you’ll regret it!

This experience was super 5/5! Would recommend to anyone who is visiting Egypt and wants to see Cairo throughout their trip. we were with Mohammed (aka Congo) who showed us the best places! He took us on the river Nile boat- which was private. We then went to the brand new grand museum of Egypt. Went on a private tour of the great pyramids of Giza and the sphinx and ended our day with local shopping of art, spices and egyptian cartouche necklaces from the locals of Cairo. Which was affordable and brilliant because Congo was there the whole time to translate at any time. Truly had a great time. Also the flights are business class, which was a bonus/ surprise. This was the best way to spend my husband’s 30th birthday 🎂. As pointers to improve I wish it was more clear when to do our visa - it can be done in the airport before you come out to collect your luggage as an fyi :)

Such a fun day out and so much learnt about Cairo and Egyptians

The tour was amazing! It was booked for my birthday by my wife and it was the best time spent. I’ve learnt so much about ancient Egypt and modern day Egypt. The day went very smoothly and we were lucky enough to change our old museum tour to the grand Egyptian museum. Throughout the day we were treated like vip’s and our tour guide stayed by our side. The photos the tour guide has take of us are truly special and cant wait to share them with the family. We have also come back with bags of high quality souvenirs, Egypt has so much to offer, would highly recommend this tour!

A beautiful day in Cairo and Giza

We had a great tour of Cairo together with Hany and Mohammed. Hany gave us a very exciting tour of the pyramids, the Egyptian Museum and the Bazaar Quarter in super German, while Mohammed took us safely everywhere. We were able to state our individual wishes and both have responded very much. We highly recommend the tour.

Great experience, but with a hiccup at the start

A very good experience overall with great, attentive staff that did their utmost during the day to keep everyone happy. The only few issues we had on the day were at the very start, as although we were collected on time in the early morning, when we arrived at the airport we were not greeted by a company rep and other people were trying to cover for him as he was not around. They didn’t actually know what flight we were booked on and we hadn’t been informed in time beforehand to know. We were initially directed to the wrong flight company desk and only managed to find out which plane we were booked onto, ten minutes before the flights departure with the assistance of another airline making enquiries. This made the start of our trip quite stressful with young children especially as we saw all the other Cairo bound tourists passing through the airport without issue. Fortunately after this issue, we were greeted at Cairo properly and then very much enjoyed the whole day. The day did actually take circa 22 hours in total though, rather than that 13-14 hours stipulated…. Which was a rather long day for young children especially. Absolutely cannot fault the staff we did interact with though… they were fabulous. Atmosphere and group size was also great though. We selected to have a photographer accompany us and this was a very cool addition to ensure we got some really prime photos whilst at the pyramids and during the camel rides.
