Our Cairo tour hit the nail on the head! It included everything we wanted to see. The guide was as nice as pie, and his explanations made Egyptian history crystal clear. A huge thank you!

Fantastic Day visting Cairo, Giza, and the Nile. A private tour and guide is essential to get the most out of your time. Driving all across the city and fast access to attractions. Very informative from an expert Egyptologist of over 20 years experience. Also, your driver may be Adel, who is a gentleman and minds your belongings while your hands are free to climb the pyramids, get on a camel, and explore the museum, not to mention his expert driving skills which is needed here.
Also, a light lunch was perfect to keep us going. You can stop off for gifts too if you wish at some shops. The Mosque was beautiful and respectfully done. We finished off our day for a relaxing Felucca trip (boat) by expert boatmen on the Nile. It is an experience of a lifetime with the perfect guide and driver, a must do if you want to experience real history and culture that Egypt has to offer.
