Amazing tour company - Ayoub our tour guide was great. He had planned the whole day to miss all of the crowds to allow us a more personalized visit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took time to explain each locations history in great detail. He also was kind enough to stop to get us drinks, several times during the tour.
The driver Sfeena, perfectly navigated us through the busy Cairo streets. Carefully picking us up at locations to minimize unnecessary additional walking, which in hot Cairo weather is appreciated.

Loved Egypt Day Tours! - We had the best time while in Egypt and loved working with Egypt Day Tours. They were excellent and reasonably priced! We found them reliable, attentive and very accomodating. They took care of everything. Our tour guide, Hosny, was the best. Friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about all things Egyptian. We did two days of tours with him while in Cairo. The full-day trip to Giza pyramids, Sakkara, and Memphis and the 2nd day we did the Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Muhammed Ali Mosque as well as several churches. I want to go back and will definitely use them again.

Convenient and safe - I heard of this tour guide company from a friend who previously booked with them and it did not disappoint at all. I book most of the activities during my family trip and I was so glad this tour company took care of everything for me. The best part was that we didn't feel anxious at all about our health and safety even during this pandemic because we felt assured with the way the tour was conducted. We were appropriately reminded of safety protocols on a regular basis while still experiencing the most hospitable service. I believe it's the most convenient and safest way to get the best tour experience in Egypt. Definitely recommending to friends who will be visiting in the future too! Thank you, Egypt Day Tours!

Family fun in Cairo! - We had 2 days in Cairo with our wonderful guide, Loay. We visited all of the major attractions and felt safe, well informed and looked after throughout.
Loay’s English was great and his passion for Egyptology was obvious. Both he and our driver were warm and friendly, especially towards our 2 young children.
Loay was very accommodating with all of our requests and he provided us with an enjoyable and stress free tour of Cairo. Our driver also negotiated the Cairo traffic with ease (something that we could not have done alone) and we would definitely recommend this wonderful guide and tour company.
Thank you!

Safe and Sound - We had a very informative guide named Mony. She really knew her history and she looked after us from the get go. Mony also kept our son engaged by interacting with him and letting him be a kid with energy..Accompanying Mony was our driver Waheed who drove safely and was very alert and precise with his driving (not to mention that we hired him as our private driver a couple of days later). We covered the tour as expected, Mony had everything set for us. We just turned up to the destination and we gained entry straight away. What was really nice is that we had the flexibility to avoid the large bus tours...Highly recommended

A unique experience - Today I went on excursion to the pyramids and it’s been a great experience! The tour was in charge of a guide called Hany Mubarak. Not only was he knowledgeable and easy going but he also gave me personal time to experience the pyramids on my own and took photos of me when I asked him so! His English is superb and I believe that he’s managed to make me feel the past of the Egyptian civilization alive
