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.

Geweldig.
Boekte de twee tour met overnachting en wat een tour!
Uitstekende en snelle communicatie tijdens het boeken die werd weerspiegeld met op tijd ophalen en afzetten. Alles duidelijk gecommuniceerd en liep als een klok.
Khalid en Schumacher (onze chauffeur) waren allebei vriendelijk, vriendelijk, respectvol en deskundig.
Gaf ons de mogelijkheid om alle schoonheid, charme en bezienswaardigheden van Caïro te genieten in twee dagen.
Hoogtepunt was natuurlijk De Grote Piramide van Gizeh maar we konden ook het pas geopende Grand Egyptian Museum bezoeken.
Kwam weg met een verbazingwekkende hoeveelheid kennis die we zelf niet hadden kunnen verzamelen.
Ik vond het geweldig dat we een voorproefje van Caïro konden ervaren via de rivier de Nijl, een bezoek aan de moskee. Hangende kerk en markt.
We verlieten Cairo met een volle buik en een vol hart.
Beveel de tweedaagse tour.
Bedankt voor het organiseren van een onvergetelijke tour.

Amazing day
From start to finish the day was extremely well organised. We felt safe and very well informed by our extremely knowledgeable guide who made sure we saw all the highlights and had the best possible experience. Our driver was always exactly where we needed him to be and we made several stops for food and drink whenever we needed. Cairo is a crazy place, and we squeezed a lot into our day, but the experience felt easy and straightforward. My two children (12 and 16) really enjoyed the day and my husband said it was one of the best days of his life as he’s always had an ambition to see the pyramids. I would totally recommend this experience.

Well organised from start to finish. Picked up from hotel. Easily found guide at Cairo. Excellent guide, he was really knowledgable. Excellent driver, how he got us from a to b without crashing was amazing.
Once in a lifetime opportunity for me and and my son, and we enjoyed every minute of it

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!
