Cairo - It was a very nice experience and excursion. The car journey alone, there were three of us, had its own car and driver. We were picked up on time, in Cairo our German-speaking guide boarded. The traffic is not for the faint-hearted but really "worth seeing". Visiting the pyramids and the old museum were nice. Unfortunately, the visit to the bazaar did not take place. Explanation was about a holiday. However, the location for lunch was not so nice. We would have imagined something more traditional. But overall a great trip!

Day Trip with Flight to Cairo - We were picked up on time, the whole process was smooth. Our guide and also the driver were friendly and reliable. Overall, despite flying, it is a long, exhausting day but it is also a big package of highlights. Lunch was very good!

GEM and pyramids with Sami and Ahmed - just recommendable!!! - We decided to go for the Cairo - GEM and Pyramids excursion by private car. Communication with WhatsApp was very unproblematic. At 3:00 am we were picked up by our driver Ahmed at our hotel Cooks Club El Gouna. The journey to Cairo was just under 5 hours. There were cold drinks and also short breaks. From the hotel we had received packed lunches. In Cairo we picked up our guide Sami. Together we first went to the GEM. Sami turned out to be an experienced and knowledgeable Egyptologist. His German was very good and he explained the highlights of the very extensive exhibition to us very impressively. The Tut exhibition was very impressive. Then we went to the pyramids. Experience this up close has always been our wish. Sami was by our side and took great photos of us. After a very good lunch we said goodbye to our great guide Sami. Thank you for the wonderful experiences on this day. The return journey was then only around 4 hours. Our prudent driver Ahmed brought us safely back to our hotel. Thank you for the whole trip. Corinna and Holger

Found about good reviews and can confirm them - The tour was great. The guide Ragab is very competent and the driver Elia drove us safely through the day. Both were very friendly and took good time for all our affairs and questions. We are already planning to approach you again next year to take a trip to the Grand Museum. Kind regards Father and Son Honsberg

It doesn't get any better!! - A fantastic tour - thank you! My wife and I booked this private tour because we wanted to be flexible in the final design on site. In advance: both the communication / booking via WhatsApp, as well as the entire process deserve the very best rating. All transfers were on time, and the absolute highlight, besides the very good program, was our guide Sameh. In all the decades of our travels around the globe, we have never had such a lovable guide who loves his country and culture, while at the same time having the best interests of his customers at heart. Sameh, thank you very much for the individual attention, and the very interesting tour, which made this day a special experience. Also our thanks to our driver Achmed, who is super nice and nice and drove us safely all day. Conclusion: although the tour is a bit strenuous due to the early pickup, for us an absolute MUST and a great addition to our beach holiday in El Gouna.

Definitely recommended - It was 2 very eventful days. Whether pyramids, new museum or the old town of Cairo. Staying at the hotel directly overlooking the pyramids was great. Everything perfectly organized and yet also very relaxed . With our guide Adel it was a lot of fun and Halal drove us well and safely through Cairo. But were a bit irritated when picked up at the hotel, that we were picked up by a minibus, which has already become a bit old, and not, as in the contract , by a car. But Halal made the trip very pleasant for us with his open nature and kindness.
