Amazing day trip to Cairo & great value
Well organised trip that is great value - a must do if you’re staying in Sharm. I highly recommend it!
Got picked up about 4am and taken to the airport (note that if you haven’t already purchased a visa then you will need one before you fly) short 1 hour flight to Cairo where we met our driver (Mohammed) and guide for the day (Ahmed). We also met the rest of our group which was only 7 of us in total so a nice group size.
First stop was pyramids which were amazing, might be one of the best things I’ve ever seen and would recommend going just to see these!
Ahmed was great in explaining the history and construction and we had a good few hours to explore these. You have the opportunity here to do a camel ride for an extra charge if you’re interested.
Next stop was the oils/essence experience. Here you are shown different types of essences and then given the opportunity to buy these. Personally I could have done without this but others on the trip purchased some items so maybe just a personal taste
After this we went to lunch which by that point was well needed! The food wasn’t that great but we were so hungry we just made do.
After this we went to a papyrus shop - this time no one in our group bought anything so not sure if this is for everyone.
After the shop we headed to the museum which was really interesting. Best part was Tutankhamen room although bear in mind you’re not allowed to take photos in this room!
Next was Nile cruise which is also an additional charge - this part was nice and relaxing after what had already been a long day by this point, personally I’d of liked this to be longer.
Finally we were driven the old town and Ahmed took us exploring the narrow and very busy streets! This was a great part of the day but
could be a bit stressful for anyone who doesn’t like large crowds.
We were then taken to the airport and we were grateful for our driver to stop at McDonald’s on the way back so that we could have some dinner!
Arrived back at our hotel around 11:30pm, so a realllllly long day (about 20 hours) but a really great day nonetheless.
Overall I’d definitely recommend this trip, just be wary of how long of a day it is. Make sure to bring spending money as you will need it if you want to do the camel ride/nile cruise etc.
I think there are some parts that could be taken out/shortened to make the day shorter but that might just be my personal taste.
My final tip is to definitely book via Book Tour Egypt vs Tui as it’s several hundred pounds cheaper!! Ahmed was excellent throughout the day and kept up his energy and enthusiasm even whilst he was fasting. He was also good in keeping sellers/beggers away from the group so we felt very safe with him.

Organised trip. Good value.
Well organised trip. Good communication from the operator.
Flights on time.
Great to have everything organised prior with entrance fees included to main attractions.
Food lovely on the trip.
Extras to pay for are the camels & the Nile cruise. These are optional but would definitely recommend.
Only negatives were the oil factory & papyrus. If you're into that then it's interesting.
I would have preferred a longer cruise on the Nile instead.

Increíble
Reservamos los dos tours con alojamiento durante la noche y lo que un tour!
Excelente y rápida comunicación al hacer la reserva, que se reflejó con recogida y entrega a tiempo. Todo se comunicaba claramente y funcionaba como un reloj.
Khalid y Schumacher (nuestro conductor) eran ambos amables, amables, respetuosos y conocedores.
Nos permitió saborear toda la belleza, encanto y monumentos de El Cairo en dos días.
Lo más destacado fue obviamente La Gran Pirámide de Guiza, pero también pudimos visitar el recién inaugurado Gran Museo Egipcio.
Salió con una cantidad increíble de conocimiento que no habríamos podido reunir por nuestra cuenta.
Me encantó que pudimos experimentar una cata de El Cairo a través del río Nilo, visitando la mezquita. Iglesia colgante y mercado.
Salimos de El Cairo con el vientre lleno y el corazón lleno.
Recomiendo encarecidamente el tour de dos días.
Gracias por organizar un tour inolvidable.

Día increíble
De principio a fin el día estuvo muy bien organizado. Nos sentimos seguros y muy bien informados por nuestro guía extremadamente bien informado que se aseguró de que vimos todos los aspectos más destacados y tuvimos la mejor experiencia posible. Nuestro conductor siempre estaba exactamente donde necesitábamos que estuviera y hicimos varias paradas para comer y beber cada vez que necesitábamos. Cairo es un lugar loco, y nos apretamos mucho en nuestro día, pero la experiencia se sintió fácil y directo. Mis dos hijos (12 y 16 años) disfrutaron mucho del día y mi marido dijo que era uno de los mejores días de su vida, ya que siempre ha tenido la ambición de ver las pirámides. Recomendaría totalmente esta experiencia.

Viaje con hijo
Bien organizado de principio a fin. Recogida del hotel. Guía fácil de encontrar en El Cairo. Excelente guía, él era realmente conocedor. Excelente piloto, cómo nos llevó de un a estar sin chocar fue increíble.
Una oportunidad única en la vida para mí y mi hijo, y disfrutamos cada minuto de ella

It’s a very long day!!...
It’s a very long day!! Cairo is mad! The driver is worth every penny. Be prepared to say NO, you will be asked for extra. You can do an optional horse or camel ride near the pyramids, but you will then be asked to TIP.

Excellent trip and service!
Last week, my friends and I visited Cairo by plane. From the beginning, booking the trip was easy and smooth, with excellent communication throughout. Upon landing, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Khaled. Khaled's extensive knowledge and ability to answer all our questions impressed us greatly.
What we appreciated the most was his engaging way of sharing information, which was easy for both us and our kids to understand. He even followed up with questions to ensure we had memorised the details, a brilliant method for engagement! We loved that we could openly discuss with Khaled what we wanted to see and what we preferred to skip, allowing him to personalise our experience. We truly felt that he was dedicated to us and made every effort to meet our expectations. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends and family, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful day trip in Cairo. Thank you, Khaled, for the brilliant memories!
