A well thought out trip to see ancient wonders with a fantastic guide
A brilliant trip for anyone interest in seeing these wonderful ancient wonders. The company did a great job of communicating everything, from the transfers, to the flights, and our action packed day.
Our guide "Ahmed" was brilliant, he was so energetic and passionate about his job that it kept us all going through a very long day. His knowledge of the subject was impressive and he did a great job explaining everything to English and German speakers as well as getting the whole group to get to know one another.
Our driver was also brilliant, deftly navigating the spirited Cairo traffic 🙂.
Would highly recommend this to trip through this company as everything was seamless.

Long but very enjoyable day.
A very well organized trip starting with the communication the day before via Whatsapp, to the transfer to the airport, the pick up at Cairo airport and then the day itself.
Ahmed was our guide for the day and was very passionate and knowledgeable about virtually everything.
We arrived early in Cairo so jumped on a boat to cruise up the Nile for a bit. Then to the old museum before it opened so we were amongst the first to go in. Time flew inside and couldn't believe we spent 2 hours inside with Ahmed guiding us. You could spend all day in there given the chance. A new museum is opening soon close to the pyramids in Giza.
Next was a papyrus museum. With these aplenty along most tourist roads in Sharm I found it time wasted personally and would have liked longer in Giza. But I see why they include it on their tour.
Then the pyramids and Sphinx itself with optional camel or carriage ride at just £10, $10 or €10.
Afterwards a perfume place where you can grab a free drink.
And to finish a walk through the old bazaar in old Cairo.
Lunch was provided before going to Giza and was really good. Note that they offer you a drink and that is payable.
Before dropping us back at Cairo airport they stopped off so we could grab some food. Their restaurant of choice, McDonald's. Would have preferred somewhere else but hey ho.

Parfait
Parfait, réservé depuis la France. Prise en charge le guide Rafat et le chauffeur qui se faufile dans le Caire... journée formidable en français et moitié moins cher que les excursions depuis un hôtel.
N'hésitez pas !

Memories are made of this!
Our guide, Ahmed, was a very knowledgable historian and Egyptologist, and enthusiastic as he showed us the sights of Cairo with expertise and efficiency. He taught us a lot about Egyptian/Cairo culture and history as we toured the pyramid site and the museum. He gave us a fun and action-packed day that I'll never forget. Our driver was amazing, navigating the Cairo traffic--an experience in itself. The only observation I can offer is that the brief *cruise* on the Nile was not so memorable, however, and having been picked up at 3:00 a.m. for the flight we'd all have preferred a coffee/breakfast break while waiting for the museum to open. That said, our group had a wonderful time and appreciated Ahmed's great spirit and kindness.

Incredible day! 🇪🇬
We had an incredible day exploring the Pyramids, Egyptian Museum and seeing daily life in Cairo. The tour guide Rafat and the driver were amazing. Great driving, water bottles for free and Rafat gave us tons of historical information and looked after us very well! How they kept energy up during Ramadan was amazing.
The organisation from the agency was fantastic and our flights worked perfectly. We even managed to move to window seats and take pictures of the Pyramids from the plane!
We first stopped at a petrol station and stocked up on drinks and used the toilet.
We went inside the great Pyramid which we couldn’t miss the opportunity to do, although it was very hot, cramped and some people would definitely panic if they are claustrophobic. It was £23 each adult but so worth it.
We were not hassled at all really and really enjoyed expiring the Giza complex.
We did the camel ride to the panoramic view of the pyramids, which was unfortunately the only negative of the day due to the cruel camel man kicking and whipping camels and also him standing between our two camels asking for a ‘nice tip’ on top of the £10 we already paid to do it. I did tip an extra $5 for two of us at the end but he was being greedy and wanted more and between the group this became awkward which was a real shame.
The Sphinx visit was excellent and we got great photos and were given loads of time.
There were only two other people on our tour so it was a very flexible day. We didn’t buy anything from the perfume shop but I did purchase a nice personalised papyrus from the second shop.
The Egyptian Museum was amazing, we saw everything we wanted to, including all the main King Tut artefacts. It won’t be long until these are moved to the new museum ready for the opening.
We did the extra nile cruise which was well worth it at the end of the day to see Cairo from a different perspective.
We were taken to a nice quiet and clean McDonald’s which was about a third of the price of one in the UK. We were then dropped off at the airport for our return flight.
I would advise you to behind all kinds of cash in Us/Euro/UK for excursions and tips etc.
Overall it was an unforgettable experience! This was our second time using Book Tour Egypt after we did the Luxor trip last year.

À valider les yeux fermés pour une super journée
Nous avons passé une magnifique journée ! Le chauffeur nous a récupéré à l heure annoncée la veille devant l hôtel . Le vol était rapide et agréable . À l arrivée au Caire , le guide nous attendait avec une pancarte facilement repérable . Nous avons eu la chance d être accompagné de Rafaet, très bon guide qui parle tes bien français ! Il répondait aisément à nos questions et les ordres de visites étaient stratégiques pour éviter au mieux la foule . Nous étions un petit groupe de 6 personnes . Nous sommes allés aux pyramides, puis au musée du Caire et avons fini la journée par une agréable balade sur le Nil en bateau . Sans pas de courses ! Nous avons ADORÉ !
Encore mille mercis à Rafaet pour ces belles découvertes, sa gentillesse, son écoute et son professionnalisme. Nous recommandons grandement !

Cairo day trip and Pyramid visit from Sharm el Sheikh.
This trip was brilliant from start to finish. Very well organised and run.
Everything worked like clockwork.
The booking arrangements conducted via WhatsApp was easy and the pick ups and drop offs at the hotel were on time.
Our Cairo guide Ahmed was brilliant. He was very passionate and knowledgeable, he made what was already a amazing day every better.
The extra €10 for the Nile boat ride and the camel ride are well worth it.
The local tour company who ran the whole day, Book Tour Egypt were great and very well organised. This whole day is highly recommended and I would certainly use Viator again.
