Ahmed attarios was excellent with Egypt Day Tours - My trip with Egypt Day Tours was perfect. The service was excellent and punctual. We booked Egypt Day Tours as our main tour operator, and I'm delighted with that. Their prices are competitive, and their services are worth the price compared to other tour companies. Communication with Ahmed Attarious was excellent. I asked many questions, but he was very kind and answered each one promptly. They arranged airport transfers to and from the hotel. They were always on time, with professional drivers who even provided bottled water. A huge thank you to all the drivers for the comfort and safety they provided. and we had a wonderful day visiting the Pyramids and the Sphinx with Mohamed. He was very informative about the beautiful history of ancient Egypt, gave us valuable tips for traveling in Egyptian cities, and was very patient with all our requests. Thank you, Mohamed, for accompanying us on our tour of Cairo and for your advice on other cities.:))

Two fabulous and extremely well organised trips. - Ahmed Attarious, organised two great trips for our group of 4, from the Cruise port of Alexandria. During the booking process, he was exceptionally helpful and answered several emails very quickly. We had the same driver Mohammed who was very good and helpful. Doma, our guide spoke excellent english and was very knowledgable, amusing, friendly and courteous. throughout. Despite the current Middle East situation, we always felt safe and secure at all times. We had no problem finding our guide when we disembarked from the ship for our 6 hours tour of Alexandria. We first visited the Catacombs, which were very interesting , then passed by Pompey's Pillar before arriving at the Qaitbay Fort close to where the Ancient Lighthouse used to be. We then went to the area of the Mosque of Abu al-Mursi, where we entered one of the 3 mosques which are in close proximity. After a very good lunch at a local fish restaurant we then went to the very modern and impressive new Alexandria Library which has a collection of approx 8 million books. The second trip was a 6am start and 3hour journey to Giza to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx. This was an excellent 12 hour day and the history of the pyramids was brought to life by the information and enthusiasm of Doma, our guide. If we had just turned up on our own, or in a tour group of 50, then the it would not have been so memorable. After the Pyramids we chose to go for a typical Egyptian lunch, which was very tasty, and was enjoyed by us all. The final stop was the nearby, new Grand Egyptian Museum. The design was fabulous, with plenty of space to exhibit and see the myriad of treasures. This must not be missed, and hopefully in a couple of months it will also house the Tutankhamun exibition, which sadly at the start of October 2025, had still not been transferred there from the old Cairo Museum. Thank you Ahmed, it was a real pleasure to do business with Egypt Day Tours, and thank you Mohammed for getting us safely through all the traffic. To Doma we can only say it was a real pleasure to meet you and thank you for helping to bring to life just a small portion of your Egyptian history, in just a couple of days. It was Maya Maya ! Best wishes, Dave and Chris

Outstanding overnight. - Experience of a lifetime. Our guide, Mai, was outstanding. Her depth of knowledge came through so passionately. Overnight in Cairo from Alexandria Port made the transition seamless. She provided in-depth info at all the stops. Her choice of meals at local restaurants provided us with local meals.

Peace of Mind - Lots of choices to pick, even after booking, we still have a chance to discuss our itinerary with the service provider who took the initiative to contact us right after our booking, and discuss with us about trip details, possible amendment. We received confirmation, worries free. For the actual trip, we booked for small group, eventually only 2 of us in the trip, so like a private tour. The guide Maha and driver Kareem waited for us at 6 am with a clear sign for identifying us. They are very friendly and professional. We felt safe and comfortable in the car. Maha knows when and where to go first to avoid crowds, and to complete the must see list. We fully enjoyed the whole process from booking to the actual event.

Day trip to Cairo - Our tour to Cairo from the Alexandria Port was easy and went smoothly. We were picked up inside the Port and the ride to Cairo was just under 3 hours. Our guide Dalia was fantastic. She was very informative and knowledgable. We were taken to the Pyramids first and then visited the Gem museum. Dalia, the driver and the tour team were checking on us the whole day. Overall I would highly recommend this tour.

Best day ever! - We had the best day ever! They picked us up right where our cruise was docked and we drove all the way from Alexandria to Cairo. We saw the Pyramids, went inside the Great Pyramid and saw the Sphinx. After enjoying some local food, we went to a jewelry shop to get our own cartouche. We visited a papyrus shop and then went to visit the museum. Before driving back to Alexandria, we went on a boat ride in the Nile. Our guide was a very polite, funny and intelligent man. Our driver very professional and we felt very safe with our police escort. We had one of the best days ever🇪🇬🌅🐪

Peace of Mind - Once booked, agent contacted right away for support and to answer our questions. On the tour day, Maha the guide and Kareem the driver wait for us at the Port Gate at 6 am sharp. By starting early, we arrived at the attractions before rush hours. Maha lead us all the way and explained everything in detail. She led us with the best route in the Pyramids and the Grand Egypt Museum. We have a very good lunch at a restaurant where we can view the Pyramids. Kareem is a safe driver. Good job.
