About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 53galar0 contributionsMy favourite day in Egypt.A very good guide, we enjoyed his company immensely. He is very knowledgeable and is full of interesting and funny stories and anecdotes. We saw lots of places of historical interest, and a lot of the real Egypt beyond the tourist area. We will definitely book again if we go back to Egypt!Written 3 March 2024
- I4980UJraymondb0 contributionsBest tour guide, you won’t be disappointedMe and my partner spent the day with this amazing gentleman Raafal. He was so helpful and very informative with lots of knowledge and knows his stuff. If you’re looking for a unique tour please request this gentleman. He took us to the temples, valley of the kings, the workhouse, and to see cleopatras temple. Had a lovely lunch across the Nile on a boat also.Written 22 November 2023
- Sightseer231438879090 contributionsThe most amazing day trip ever!The best trip we have ever experienced in all of our holidays! Raafat is so knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian knowledge. He took us to places where the general public are not allowed to go! He is also the most lovely man you could meet and he ensures you are well catered for in every aspect of your trip. I would highly recommend booking with Raafat you won’t be disappointed.Written 22 November 2023
- aaronwT3733PF0 contributionsNumber 1 tour guide by far!!!Couldn’t recommend a better tour guide! Right from the start he was very friendly soooo knowledgeable and informative. Been on several tours in Egypt and all over the world and he’s by far the best encountered! 10 out of 10 in all aspects and would do it all again without question! Thanks again for making our experience a day we will never forget and memories to keep forever!Written 27 October 2023
- VerityH7190 contributionsWonderful day seeing some of the sights of EgyptIt was an early start - 5.30am with at 4 hour drive to Luxor. We drove as the sun was rising which was gorgeous. We stopped after 2 hours for a toilet break. You need to pay to use toilets so make sure you have some cash 50 Egyptian £ is good for 2 people! Our first stop was at the Temple of Hatshepsut which was amazing - to see in in real life, just take a moment to appreciate it. We walked up and it was really quite hot and also VERY busy! Next we went to the Valley of the Kings and had entrance to three tombs included but we bought a ticket to see Tutankhamun's tomb (about £10 sterling). The tombs were incredible but with so many people they were roasting hot! But it had to be done. Oddly King Tuts was quieter I guess because you had to pay. Then a whistle stop photo at Memnon and then on to lunch overlooking the Nile. We opted for a boat trip on the NIle which was just the two of us with our guide which cost about £25 sterling each but so worth it and we saw Sudan (the old Nile cruiser on which Death on the Nile was filmed!). We got back to the hotel at 6pm and it was a memorable and fantastic day. Very highly recommendedWritten 25 October 2023
- fionae3830 contributionsCairo Day TripAbsolutely loved our trip to Cairo! We travelled by car (2 of us) from Hurghada to see the Pyramids, Sphinx, Cairo Museum and a papyrus factory. Rafta was very knowledgable and answered all of our questions. Would highly recommend! Already considering returning to do the Luxor visit :)Written 10 April 2023
- tessa l0 contributionsAmazing day in CairoWe had an amazing time today at Cairo with Raafat. Couldnt recommend him more. Will absolutely book again when i come back. Thank youWritten 10 April 2023
- jamiesmiths0 contributionsLuxor in one day!We took a private tour with Raafat. We were picked up at 4am from our hotel and we stayed with him for the whole day. We were taken to Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple and the Valley of the Kings. During the ride Raafat kept us entertained with a lot of information about the places we were going to see and of the traditions of the Egyptian people. While we were in the Temples he told us some history and stories of what we were seeing which we were glad to hear. If we tried to go on our own we would not have gotten all that information. We packed a lot in one day and the long ride was tiring. In hindsight if we did it again and had more time; taking a night in Luxor would be better. I believe that Raafat tried to convince us to spend the night and take in the Nile as well. If we had more time it would have been worth it. I would definitely recommend going on a tour with Raafat of Viator in Hurghada, Egypt. Thank you for a great time going to Luxor.Written 26 March 2023
- katyounng0 contributionsAmazing private trip to Cairo from Makadi BayWe had the best day visiting Cairo from Makadi Bay. We started at 2am with our driver Mamdouh and arrived at the museum by 8:30am meeting our tour guide Hamdy. He was very nice and knowledgeable. We then went on to the Felucca ride, which was nice and relaxing. We then went on for food, which was delicious, followed by a trip to the perfume shop. No one was every pushy or aggressive about trying to sell us anything. We then went to the Pyramids and Hamdy was great at taking lots of pictures and we went around viewing the Pyramids from different view points. We finished off our trip with rhe view from the Sphinx. It was a fantastic day and our tour guide Hamdy and Mamdouh were great! Thank you so much for a fab day!Written 24 February 2023
- EternalLake0 contributionsHighly recommend RafaatBrilliant one day tour with Rafaat to Dendara and Abydos, highly recommended. Rafaat is a great guy, really friendly and open minded, very knowledgeable and will definitely tour with him again next time.Written 25 January 2023

- V5316DHjuanc0 contributionsA fantastic guide and truely cool guyWe took the Luxor one day private tour from Hurghada with Raafat, definitely the best choose!!!. The pick up at our hotel was in time, where we met Raafat, a real easy going person and cool as well. He explained what to expect in Luxor and what we would be visiting on that day, he also explained us not only about his country and culture but himself and his familiy. He is extremele knowledgeable and will make your adventure in Egypt even more exciting as you will have the chance to meet a person who will take care of every single detail of the trip and will treat you like a friend. We learned a lot about the History of Egypt and can only say that it worth to have booked this trip with Raafat and will definitely return an book with him again!!!Written 25 January 2023
- chelseasteve710 contributionsA great guide and lovely guyWe had a brilliant day in Luxor with Raafat. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great guy to spend the day with. Not just for the tours but also for his kind manner and excellent advise regarding local customs. First classWritten 21 December 2022
- lauramU9010AS0 contributionsWonderful EgyptWe spend 3 days in Luxor and thanks to Rafat and his staff we had an amazing trip of temples, tombs and many other activities . Our guide Kendre is very professional and gentle and he told us a lot of histories and curiosity of Egypt. Egypt is great country with great people . We’”” sure came back. LauraWritten 1 October 2022
- Maria U0 contributionsLuxor in 3 daysWhat an experience we had! A group of 16 friends coming from several countries we got this amazing tour to Luxor organised by the team: from pickup from El Gouna, to daily drive to and from the hotel, 3 days dedicated guide (impressive knowledge and storytelling from Bahi Sultan), tickets included to most known as well as more private places to see in Luxor (Karnak temple, Luxor temple, papyrus gallery, West Bank (valley of kings, Valley of the Queens, memnon statues, Alabaster factory, banana island trip with lunch, hotair ballon, The Temple of Queen Hatchepsut, Medinet habu/the temple of Ramsees III). Add to this the complexity of each of us having to return from different airports and different timing- nothing seemed too difficult for Raafat and his team to handle. Would definitely recommend this service to anyone interested in making this experience in Luxor worthwhile. He also went above and beyond and helped us secure several services in Egypt even after our tour ended. Suggestions for improvement: as there are some 3rd party providers involved (hot air balloon), is good to clarify in advance the details of the schedule/expectations so as to manage expectations. Thanks a lot for this unforgettable experience!Written 29 September 2022

Raafat was recommended from other friends from Romania who did a tour with him.
He organized a private bus trip from Hurghada to Cairo for our extended family, 8 adults and 5 children.
The tour was exactly what we needed, a short trip to most of the highlights in Cairo, boat trip on Nile, Egyptian Museum, Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx.
We already recommended him to other friends who will come to Egypt next week.
Many thanks

First time in Egypt and loved the day trip to Cairo. As a female solo traveller I was quite nervous beforehand but the guys on the bus were very nice and made me feel comfortable. Our tour guide Hana was great, very informative / knowledgeable and spoke very good English. Met some other travellers on the bus
Bus picked up travellers from different hotels, my pickup was around half past midnight and I was the first on the bus. The bus journey was around 8/9 hours longgg but definitely worth it, we stopped twice on the way so could use the restrooms. I slept on the bus and it was comfortable/clean/had air con. Make sure you get a breakfast bag from your hotel before the trip.
First stop was
Museum
Nile cruise
Pyramids
Sphinx
Art shop
Lunch
Perfume shop
Day was lovely had a great time definitely recommend all in all the trip was around 26/27 hours
Hana was great gave us lots of tips

It was a long trip from Huragada to Cairo by bus with 6 people. Left very early in the morning and arrived late in the evening. We visited the Cairo museum with an English guide, then the visited pyramids at Giza the highlight of the trip and the Sphinx.
All staff were exceptional to take care of all our needs through out the trip.
Recommend it if you want to visit the pyramids and are in Huragada.

Everything about the tour I would give it 5 stars and more. The trip was lovely the ride on The Nile was quick and worth to see with general views of the city of Cairo. The tour guide was very professional very good knowledge of everything he mentioned to us and very fun to be with. Plenty of security and with pleasure I would do it over and over again. Lunch was delicious and plenty of it. Give it a try you will remember it your entire life❤

My family wanted to lounge around the pool at the all-inclusive resort in Hurghada, but I've always wanted to see the pyramids. I booked the Hurghada to Cairo day trip last minute with Raafat. We traveled in a very comfortable tour bus. Considering it was only one day, we saw a lot: the Egyptian Museum, a short Nile Cruise, the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and got a good overview of Cairo. The lunch buffet was good and the local guide excellent. It's a long journey, but if you want to take in some culture, you definitely should.

We have made a private tour to the Pyramids from Hurghada with Rafat, the tour guide very friendly, honest, informed, good English. Always try to make his guest happy, no hurry, we have time to do anything we want. We didn’t visit the museum so the start our trip was only at 6 am and arrive back to our hotel at 7 pm. Drive was very comfortable and safe. The lunch at the rooftop restaurant with the amazing view was perfect. I only can recommend this trip to enjoy a nice day, with some historical information and nice photo shoots.

The trip was great! The guide was very keen to share lots of information and we loved the boat trip on the Nile and the trip to the pyramids.
It is a long journey, took about 22 hours in total but is totally worth it!

Unbelievable experience: a one-day trip to Cairo organised to perfection, precisely as we wanted it. Rafaat, our tour guide, greeted us warmly. His professional demeanour and expertise of Ancient history made an immediate impression on us. I stated that my knowledge of Ancient Civilizations is limited, but Rafaat spoke to us in plain Words and was not overly detailed. Rafaat had a terrific sense of fun and kept the group together to ensure we were all safe. Also one of the best lunch buffet he had chosen. Overall, thanks to him, we had an incredible trip.
His service is highly recommended!

The bus ride was thought, but everything else was amazing, highly recommended! The staff is super friendly and they speak so many languages, I can't even count. The guide (Mohammad) was a great guy, super funny full of interesting stories. Seeing the piramyds and the sphinx was super amazing, memories for life. There were some filler parts in the end which I could have done without but it was part of the deal so it's alright. Thanks a lot for the great experience!
