One day trip in cairo with a great Chinese speaking guide
751483147
, May 2022
The tour guide is very good and speaks Chinese very well and has a very rich knowledge of the history of the scenic spot.
He really helped me a lot when I was traveling alone, and he recommended my authentic food.
The itinerary also reflects the guide's care, avoiding outdoor visits to the pyramids when the sun is at its peak. It was a packed but full day with lots of attractions. Cairo was the first stop of my trip and I was very satisfied with the one-day trip.
Unfortunately , there was some unpleasant things during the trip, but the tour guide handled them well and guaranteed my interests.
Perfect day of everything we wanted to see.

I very, very rarely review anything. This is the first time I’ve bothered writing a review in years. I feel obligated to for this service specifically.
The TL;DR is don’t do this tour, it is very, disappointingly bad in multiple ways: uninformative, annoying, and they try to rip you off throughout. It is so bad I feel like I genuinely let my fellow travelers down by going with this tour.
This tour is essentially an 8 hour sales pitch to buy things from various friends of the “Egyptologist”, or to go on different “tours” later in the day or in the future with them.
I put Egyptologist and tours in quotes because the actual information you receive on anything is surface level at best, and downright incorrect occasionally. There is little ability to answer any questions. So if you would like to learn anything substantive, I recommend looking elsewhere.
Note that the tour guide will try to earn trust with you by saying this day is for you, but if you try to say no to something, it is very difficult for them to accept it (for my group, we had to say we didn’t want to go to the market 5+ times, even just to look).
They also recommend outrageous tips. We were told if we wanted to tip, that $5-$7 per person for the camel rides was suitable. Which for Egypt is exceptionally high.
Then, you go to different authentic stores, which are just the friends of the tour guide. It’s typical for the guides to receive kickbacks of everything you purchased for any guide company in Egypt, but this was egregious. The guide was upset we weren’t buying more.
So you see the pyramids, sphinx, go to a fake Egyptian specialty restaurant that had some of the worst food we have had, go to a couple of stores they want you to buy from their friends at labeled as authentic experiences for extremely overpriced perfume and tinctures, then a bad painting store, then the market (but we didn’t go), then the antiquities museum. They show you ~5 things with some facts then just want you to walk around by yourself where there are no labels. Then they try to get you to do other stuff with them.
Two stars because they did show up and bring us to places, and had an ok car. But this was the most disappointing tour I’ve literally ever been on, both in my native country (USA), and any other.
I don’t recommend.

This was a private tour so it was only the 2 of us, me and my boyfriend, which made the whole vibe pretty chilled compared to big group tours. The car was clean and the AC worked, the lunch was tasty and good quality too.
We are especially very happy about our tour guide Nour. His service was very thorough and he looked after our needs very well. He was also very knowledgeable about the different aspects of the history and present of Egypt, and provided us a lot of interesting information during the whole trip.
Michael was a great tour...

We had an excellent day visiting the sites with our knowledgeable guide Gouda and our driver, Yasser. We learned a lot of history about the pyramids and got the classic tourist photos both on the camels and touching the apex of the pyramids. Afterwards, we were were taken to a couple of local shops to look at paintings on papyrus paper and Egyptian cotton clothing. After a fabulous lunch, we finished our day at the museum which is chock fill with thousands of relics. While some artifacts are starting to be packed up ready to move to the new museum due to open in November, there was still plenty to see including all the riches found in King Tutankhamen's tomb (unfortunately not able to be photographed). We found the mummified animals quite fascinating too. It was a mutual decision not to go to the bazaar at the end of the day due to the heat. We would recommend this tour.
Exactly what we wanted, exceeded expectations

Took a tour with Zenab. Private driver and tour guide for me and my wife. It was our first time in Egypt and we don’t speak Arabic, so we were a bit nervous to travel. Zenab has great English, stuck with us the whole time, and was superb. We had time to see the pyramids, ride camels, have lunch, see the papyrus making and essential oils, go to the Egypt museum and khan el kalili. Highly recommended.
Afterwards we said to ourselves — could we have done the whole thing with just Uber for cheaper? Maybe, but coming into an unfamiliar place you don’t want to risk the unknowns.
-Zenab took us to the pyramids at 8 even tho official open time is 7, because it’s closed till 8 on Ramadan. We wouldn’t have known this without her
-She arranged for fruits and vegetables for lunch at a delicious restaurant as we are strictly vegan
-At our request we had time to explore on our own in khan el kalili.
Extremely satisfied
