          Day trip of Luxor from Cairo.
          Luxor was a very beautiful and comfortable city. I joined a day tour from Cairo, which included transportation from the hotel to the airport, a guided tour of the main historical sites in Luxor, and everything was efficiently organized. Our guide, Dina, was kind and supportive. Since we couldn’t understand all the English explanations, she focused on clearly explaining the important sites to help us understand better. At the end, we had some extra time before our return flight, so it would have been perfect if the tour had included an earlier flight back.

          Really good experience
          It’s a very well organized tour. From pickup to drop off - everything went smoothly. Our guide, Kyrllos was very accommodating and we were able to modify the tour according to our schedule. He has deep expertise in Egyptology and loves sharing it. Would recommend!

          Pleasant experience of the Pyramids
          It was a really nice experience. Our guide Kyrllos was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He showed us the pyramids and also some local markets around in Giza. He knows all the good photo spots too, away from the crowds - which was much appreciated!

          Day trip to Sakkara and Dahshur
          Bishoo and driver Islam took us to Sakkara and Dahshur for the morning. Guide was professional and knowledgeable. He was very patient with my older parents. He even went out of his way to drive past some extra sites that weren’t on the itinerary.

          Luxor by plane day tour
          The Luxor by plane day tour is excellent. You leave early in the morning from Cairo International and upon arriving Luxor You meet Your driver and guide. My driver was Muza and My Guide was Mona. They we're both very nice and welcoming. We had time to enjoy all the most important landmarks at Luxor and I had lots of pictures taken. Amazing experience. Ranco Travel Egypt. Highly recommended. Guillermo from Argentina

          tour islamic/coptic cairo
          The driver did not speak good english and was not able to provide any information. Further he was most of the time on the phone, talking somehow loudly. Though, he took us wherever we wanted and was driving safely.

          Top Tier Guide
          We were connected with our driver promptly the day before. Raafat picked us up promptly at 4 AM, and drove us to Cairo airport. Our private guide, Dina, also texted me the night before letting me know that she was going to be our guide for the day. She told me that she would be waiting for me right outside of the airport as soon as we got out. She is 1000% amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. On our way to our first destination, I realize that I have left my headphones in the airport bathroom. She swiftly turned around the driver and told me that it was going to be OK and we went right back to the airport and found them. Dina made us feel safe, she was well knowledge and didn’t push anything we didn’t want to do. She recommended we went to a more upgraded lunch area, which was well worth the few extra dollars. We got an extra tour on the Nile River! We told her that we wanted to buy a scarf and she took us exactly to an area where local Egyptian women were making scarves. After our tour was over, we told her that we wanted to see some spices in the area and she took us to a local place. I cannot stop saying praises about our tour guide. Please ask for Dina, you won’t regret it.

        Islam was an excellent driver. Ehab was gracious and knowledgeable. He was very informative about anything we asked. He catered to our needs and made sure we could see & do everything we wanted. We learned so much about the mosques & Coptic churches. Both were fun to hang out with. Highly recommend!

        My guide was Ahmed, a very soft-spoken gentleman who was very knowledgeable about the mosques.

        I was awestruck by the architecture! Ahmed did a great job of explaining the Mamluk and Ottoman styles. He even informed me that the last Shah of Iran was buried near by and took me to see the gravesite.

        I’d highly recommend Ahmed. What’s more, he’s a GREAT photographer.

        Very good compact 4 hr tour which gives you great overview of Islamic Cairo. There aren’t too many tours out there which allow the flexibility to start at 1 pm. After arriving from a long flight from the US that’s exactly what I was looking for. My tour guide Bisho was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Driver was very nice as well. I learned a lot and felt safe 100% of the time during this tour
