This tour turned the longest layover in my life to the best 1 day solo adventure ever! I researched over 50 tour companies and finally picked this one because as a single female traveler I wanted to make sure I chose a reliable option. They offered the most comprehensive and flexible trip possible in a day. The chat communication was prompt with response time of a few minutes. The price was very fair and the option to do my own ticketing gave me even more flexibility. My tour guide Esam was the most wonderful person. He not only was a certified Egyptologist but was qualified enough to teach Egyptian history and culture in a university! Besides having on-point knowledge about the various sites, he was also a great photographer and knew all the photography tricks. He made sure I took a lot of pictures everywhere and even taught me basic hieroglyphics! He also took me to delicious and economical local street eats and helped me bargain at the bazaar! He even gave me a small momento as a reminder of the trip! Overall I would highly recommend this tour company and tour guide.
Firstly, the tour guide we had was great and the knowledge he/they have is 5 stars, BUT beware if you're not familiar with Egypt and specifically Cairo even your own private tour guide will scam you. Read about this so you know what to look out for. Secondly, nothing in the booking on Viator's website mentions that you will still have to pay more money on top of your booking. To be exact, I paid £65 initially and then another £210 on site for 3 adults. Was it worth it? YES! But was it a surprise? YES! It's an unnecessary surprise though - rather be up front with people about the costs instead of doing what seems to be the status quo Cairo mentality of hiding costs. The tour itself is worth the money I paid but I did not appreciate the surprise of it.
