it was a long but a wonderful day. My driver Goda knows all the paths in and around Cairo, so I was able to visit many more sights than I originally thought. I felt very comfortable and very safe and would like to do other tours of this kind.
We can't sing enough praise for Egypt Best Day tours. they have taken such good care of us. We spent a full day in Cairo doing tours. Mohammed drove with grace, knew the roads like the back of his hand and always with a great smile, and good music...he was our own driver. Ola, our guide was amazing...she was knowledgeable, learned our personality to tailor the trip for what we like, answered questions and took the time to explain history but also the culture around us on a daily basis which helped enhance our experience. She exposed us to local foods, taught us how the locals eat, and really made our experiences enjoyable. We felt like family with both of these two. She knew the best stops for photos, steered us to an amazing camel experience and it made such a difference being there with a guide. we were not hassled at all...such an amazing experience
Personally we found the step-pyramid, bent pyramid, and red pyramid to be the highlights of our time in Cairo. There was almost no one else there which gave it a very authentic feel, and the pyramids were amazing and very fun to go inside. Our guide and driver were very nice and accommodating for all of our requests. Myriam is very well informed about the history of the sites and was very easy to talk to and ask questions. Highly recommended!
The tour was a great way to get out to see Saqqara and Memphis, and there was no dragging us into papyrus factories and jewellery stores. Our guide Haitham was very good and very informative, not only about ancient history but about life in Egypt. Our driver Mohammed was very good. Overall I would recommend the tour and the tour company, only one sour note, the tour description said that we would visit the Imhotep Museum and this was not done, which I didn't realise at the time but was very disappointed when I got back to the hotel and re-read the tour blurb.The lunch provided in the tour was great. If not for the missed Museum I would give them 5 stars.
We were visiting Egypt two weeks ago. We book your one-day trip to Dahshur, Saqqara and Giza. Our guide Nermin was very efficient and kind. We had a wonderful day! The restaurant in Saqqara was very tasty and the cleanliness of the car was excellent. In all we don’t doubt to recommend anyone to book an excursion with you. Albert Aguilar
Nermin was incredible! Although my sister and I were only in Cairo for 2 days, she made sure it was 2 days full of memorable and fun filled experiences. Nermin accommodated my sister and I even though we asked her to be our tour guide last minute. We arrived in Cairo at 2100. She went out of her way to pick us up especially knowing that we were two female travelers. We got delayed at customs for almost an hour but Nermin patiently waited for us outside the airport. We are so thankful she did because it was so late at night that hardly any women were out and the 95% of people outside the airport were men. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt, and has lots of recommendations about great places to eat around Cairo! I highly recommend Nermin and would definitely ask for her again the next time i’m in town.
Thank you so much ma'am 😊
