The best tour we have ever taken, The driver to airport was on time, airplane tickets were ready at the airport, short flight, our tour guide Amir and driver where ready at Cairo airport for us. Special thanks to Amir he was an amazing tour guide best one we have ever had so knowledgeable he explained everything to us from Egyptian history to current government and country affairs,new up and coming museums and the history of all the churches we visited. He managed to squeeze as much into our day as possible helped by our brilliant driver. A memorable experience and well worth the money Amir was very patient, kind and smart a credit to his agency they should be very proud of him and his knowledge. He told us a lot and showed us everything we had asked to see and more, The food was very good. And at the end of the day the driver made us feel safe and secure in the Cairo traffic back to the airport (sorry I forgot his name) From start to finish a well-planned out trip 10/10

Best tour we ever took, driver to airport was on time, airplane tickets where ready at the airport, short flight, our tour guide and driver where ready at Cairo airport. And back to Hurghada also well planned and arranged. Trip 10/10 Balil was our tour guide, very patient, kind and smart he told us a lot and showed us everything, we had enough time to see and do thing. Guide 10/10 If you want to go Cairo this is the way to go :-D!

I had been to Luxor several times before and each time been amazed and captivated by the history. Having a week in Hurghada made me think that it would be great to go back and see Luxor again. I did not really want the 4.00-5.00 hotel pick up of a regular excursion, so I decided to book a private tour. Driver picked me up on time at 7.00 and I was surprised that he was Luxor based so had left home at 02.00! He was very friendly and offered me drinks. The car could do with a bit of an upgrade but it was ok. Arrived in Luxor for 11.00 and met up with the guide. His English was good and we got straight into Valley of the Kings and he recommended the best 3 tombs to see that were included on the ticket. Then to Hatshepsut Temple a short ride away and again quick entry and enough time to look around. Then over the new bridge to Karnak Temple - really shortening the travel time between the 2 sides of the Nile. Guide was again very informative. Before I knew it, it was 16.00 and time to set off back with a back up driver. The first one still came all the way back though - but it is good he was not driving all the way 4 times in one day! Could really do without the obligatory stop at the alabaster show room and workshop, and i would have preferred the extra 30 minutes for example to see the Colossi of Memnon. But all up a highly recommended tour. Long day and tiring, but well worth it.

Amir was the best tour guide. So knowledgable explained everything to us from Egyptian history to current government and country affairs. Nothing was a hassle. He knew all the photographic points etc

Sam is an amazing tour guide, I can highly recommend him. He's friendly, helpful and answers all the questions you throw at him. He's a lot of knowledge from the ancient Egyptian history and culture. We very much enjoyed our tour. Thank you Sam for the guidience and thank you Tamer for the driving.

From beginning to end, a fantastic day out.All sorted for you, so there's nothing to worry about.Sam, our guide for the day was very knowledgeable, giving us loads of incredible facts. If you want to go on a day trip to Cairo this is the one to do.

Best thing about this was our very knowledgeable and courteous tour guide, Sam. He was very knowledgeable and knew everything about the sites we visited and Cairo. We are so glad we had a private tour rather than trying to find our own way around, which would have been very difficult and stressful. As the sites are very widely dispersed on the roads in the city are horrendous. There was no queuing or anything, so there was plenty of time. There were a few niggles which I'll mention. The hotel, the Ramses Hilton, was certainly 5 star in the lobby, but the 2 rooms we tried were very tired indeed, and more like 3 or 4 star quality, though very spacious and with great views of the nile. The Saqqara restaurant we went to for lunch wasn't the best: toilets were dirty, food wasn't great, and the owner pressured for tips, which I didn't appreciate. The car we had was ok, but the frequent high bumps in the road meant that the floor of the car frequently scraped on the tarmac, which you could feel with your feet, so perhaps an SUV would have been better. Finally, pick was scheduled for 6am but changed to 4am, which seemed unnecessarily early, meaning we were more tired than we might otherwise have been. Having said all that, these were fairly minor nighles, and it did not take away from what was an all round fantastic 2 days with an excellent guide.

Special thanks to Sam and Hami for a great day. Hami was our driver who chauffeured us around the Pyramids, Museum and Cario. Whilst Sam was our guide today. Sam understood our needs and made the day very enjoyable, even when we requested to stop off at a real Egyptian cafe to soak up some local knowledge and exchange culture. Thank you again.

The confirmation that I received on paying for this tour said “Private Tour” which we found out it was not, as we were told a different pick up place to the other 14 people apparently on the same tour ???? After saying that, after some insistence on my part, Viator did arrange a refund. If you don’t want a private tour and want to pay a lot of money to share your day trip, this is the one for you.

Absolutely amazing trip with Bilal and his driver. Memories for life. The very very best recommendations from my girlfriend and I. The pyramids and the sphinx alone are reason enough to make this trip. And when you add the Egyptian museum, the hanging church - and of course Cairo it self - the day becomes complete Everything went smooth from the booking, to the pickup at the hotel, the flight from Hurghada to Cairo and back again to our hotel. Bilal was awaiting us in the airport in Cairo and quickly found us when exiting the terminal. Our driver made us feel safe and secure in the Cairo traffic and Bilal’s knowledge about Egyptian history is very impressive. It was really nice with a friendly guide who knows everything about the sites you visit. Do not think twice about booking - you will have an amazing day Again, our very best recommendations, thank you for a perfect day in Cairo Bilal, thank you for giving us these memories and learnings about the fantastic Egyptian history All the best Isabella and Morten

This was a brilliant way to see the the pyramids and the surrounding area in one day. Our tour guide Bilal was very friendly and full of knowledge. He managed to squeeze as much into our day as possible helped by our brilliant driver. A really memorable experience for our family.

This trip was amazing, but could have been a lot shorter! We were travelling as a family of four, with two children aged 7 and 9. It was a very early start, when we arrived at Cairo, we were met at the airport by a driver who took us to meet our tour guide. We reached the pyramids before they were open, so we were taken to a cafe for a drink. We went into the pyramids and it was fantastic - exactly what we were hoping for! Our tour guide was very knowledgable and took some lovely photos of us as a family. After the pyramids, we were taken to see the Sphinx - we were immediately led to a local man. Not really knowing what was going on until it was too late, he took lots of cheesy photos of us (not really our style, felt awkward but too polite by that point to stop), then asked for a tip. After exploring the Sphinx, we were taken to a perfume shop. We were told we were there to use their toilets, but the guide then left us and the people in the shop took over, offering drinks, sitting us down and talking to us about perfumes (we were tired and didn't really know what was going on or where our guide had gone, so we went with it, despite having experienced something very similar only the night before). If we'd known what we were being led into, we would have asked to skip that part before going in. It was very awkward, the kids were bored, we weren't interested, and didn't buy anything (which didn't go down well and made us feel bad!). After this, we asked what was next and was told the papyrus museum. We would have much preferred to do that over the perfume shop, but by then the kids were really tired and we thought this would be too much. We skipped this and went to lunch, which was nice enough - a large tourist buffet restaurant. After this, we did the Hanging Church and the Egyptian Museum. Our guide said we could pay extra for an evening light show or dinner on the Nile before our flight back, but we weren't interested in this as doing the Nile another day. As such, we ended up back at the airport 5 hours before our return flights! Sadly we weren't able to get an earlier flight, so it was a very very long wait. I can't help feeling that the later flight had been booked just so we would be encouraged to book the extras, although maybe that's me being skeptical after feeling like we were being sold to with the photographer and the perfume shop. It was nice to see the sights, and have such a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. It was nice being a private tour so we could make slight changes to the schedule. However, it would have been good if there was a shorter time between flights - or at least the option to request this prior to booking. Travelling with two young children, I would definitely have requested a shorter day option. And less 'being sold to'. The incident with the perfume shop left us on edge and feeling quite negative, which was a shame.

This is a “mandatory to do trip”😀 We booked the trip also thtough MTS travel agency. The price is 53 eur/adult and 35 eur/child and included: transfer from the hotel to marina bay and transfer by boat to the submarine. We stayed under the water 45 minutes and we dived 25 m under the water. The view is amazing, lot of fish and of course we had a diver who fed the fish. For me is a unic experience, probably was the first and the last time when I dived 25 m under water in a submarine. It’ s safe and the pressure is normal and we felt very comfortable. Do this, it’s almost magic.

Pick up was prompt even though it was 430am. We were met at Cairo by Sam our guide who was accompanied by his excellent driver. Sam proved to make the whole day thoroughly informative and enjoyable. His expertise and knowledge was inexhaustible from the museum to the making of papyrus to the pyramids. We would highly recommend Sam for any tour.

good place to make private vacation , and you should to visit lavaander bazar in El Mamsha St, Sinbad Hotel , Next To Submarines , Hurghada, Egypt.
