3 Days Private Guided Cairo Tour Package

Posted By : I1227YZmelissam
The concept here is a good one. Cairo is hard to navigate and having a guide take you to major sites makes a lot of sense. Having a driver/navigator/pre bought tickets. All a godsend when trying to maximize time on your vacation.

However, this experience can vastly vary based on the guide you are assigned. I was assigned Sara who was mediocre at best. From the moment we met it was clear she had her own money making agenda. I missed seeing the underground of one of the sakara pyramids bc she took me to the “best carpet factory” where she was clearly making a side prophet.

These attempted scams continued throughout the three days with her aggressively trying to steer my restaurant choices and taking me to the “best papyrus museum”. Which is a hackjob trying to scam tourists out of hundreds of dollars.

By day 2, when it was clear i was not interested in her side hustles, she was keen to finish the tours ahead of time. 2 out of 3 days she left me early to fend for myself getting home.

I think all of the above is not specific to this tour however and if one got a good guide, this could be a great way to see major sites expediently

I just went on this tour and it was really great! My guide was Ahmed Zaki and he was so amazingly knowledgeable (he has been on local tv programs) and provided a lot of information at all the sites we visited. He was flexible when I wanted to stay at places a bit longer and take photos. He also didn't pressure me to buy anything from anyone either which was really nice. Ahmed made sure that I tried some of the local food and was able to access some areas of the mosques and places that others were not because of his friendly connections with people. Because I had told Ahmed I was a big opera fan, he made sure we stopped by the opera house to get photos even though it wasn't on the itinerary and I really appreciated this and his willingness to make the tour momre personal. If you would like to book with Ahmed, his number is 1005399124 in Cairo. He will make sure you are well taken care of!

Can I just say what an honour it was to meet Habeeb and Sayed. These guys were absolutely fan-tastic. They sorted all the tours out and took us everywhere! We wanted someone reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and honest and we found him right on TripAdvisor.

The van was luxurious, comfortable and brand new.

Tours were informative, efficient and definitely worth the price.

You always cross so many peoples paths in life and I can honestly say that these guys made my holiday worthwhile and these memories I will treasure forever!

Words honestly cannot begin to describe how good this experience was. Our tour guide Habib was welcoming, helpful and honest. He helped us to save pennies here and there and always ensured that we had the best experience possible. Nothing was too much of an issue. Highlights included seeing the first pyramid build. The pyramid of Geza. Mohammed Ali mosque as well as a range of other experience! It was honestly incredible!

I came to Cairo with six friends on the three day tour. After arriving at the airport, we quickly realized that Cairo is a very busy and hectic place. Once we found taxis, it took the guys 30 minutes to finally stop arguing and get us into a car. Eventually, we got to our hotel and anxiously awaited our tour the next day!

My first impression of Habib was that he is a kind and friendly man; but also, he was on time! As he would soon point out, things in Egypt run on “Egyptian time”; Lucky for us, Habib does not. As soon as we started our tour with him and Saeed, who is a remarkable driver, we knew we had found the right people. Habib is a virtual encyclopedia of historical information. His English is fantastic. But he is also able to talk to you about modern Egypt and how history and tourism have moulded the country to where it is today. We have had some lovely chats about many things!!!

The first day was the pyramids and like everything else, Habib and Saeed work so well as a team, and everything is on time, which is important with such a busy day. Nothing is rushed and he knows people everywhere, so you always feel like a VIP.

In addition to valuable historical insights, Habib will give you advice about where to shop for souvenirs and even bring you by a papyrus shop that can do custom hieroglyphs!! He is a truly remarkable man and being with him is like being with family. He will go the extra mile for you and his positive energy and infectious smile will make your trip the most fun.

I have enjoyed every minute of the trip to Egypt and can even say that I am now fairly comfortable with the driving... especially with Saeed at the wheel.
If you are considering a tour, go with Emo tours and Habib and Saeed... they will help make your trip a truly unforgettable experience!!!!

This tour is fantastic! We were picked up from our hotel on the first day promptly by our amazing tour guide Habib and our excellent driver Saeed.

From there we explored the Bent Pyramid, Red Pyramid, Sakkara, Giza Pyramids and the Sphynx. Habib was such an informative guide. There is nothing this guy doesn’t know. He has a great personality and such a friendly manner. Not question or task is too big or too small from him.

On the second day we explored the Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian museum. Habib showed us all of the amazing highlights and explained the history in fantastic detail! We also went to the souk which was good fun.

Third day will involve the hanging church and a few other places.

I can not recommend this tour and Habib enough! He made our holiday so fun and special! Thank you Habib!

My partner and I went to Cairo for the first time and we engaged a tour guide Esraa Ahmed, driver Abdallh and a photographer Hamada. This package was so good and was at a good price. The guide was so knowledgeable and flexible to our demands and the driver was streetsmart and brought us to all the locations we wanted to go the quickest time possible and safely. The photographer did an exceptional job of taking great photos at every locations we went. Greatly recommended especially the tour guide Esraa. You can contact her at Tourguide2626@gmail.com for any arrangements in Egypt.

I was so fortunate to have Ahmed Hamed as my guide in Cairo and Alexandria. His friendly manner and easy to understand explanations and descriptions with great English made my first few days in Cairo so worthwhile. And he has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend requesting him as your guide.

Our tour, Nov. 15-17, 2019, was made perfect with an excellent, knowledgeable, caring and kind tour guide and excellent service by this Tour Company. The assigned tour guide was Maged Abdelazim Elbehairy made us comfortable assuring us an excellent and memorable stay in Egypt. He was so caring, kind and his vast knowledge to the tour sites enabled everybody to have a good time. Maged and us feel like we are family. I highly recommend him as tour guide.
