Hurghada till Kairo Tour: Giza pyramider och Grand Egyptiska Museum

Mahmoud was a phenomenal guide, incredible amount of history and detail and gave a very fair and accurate description of the sites visited. I have had other Egyptian guides who fall into too much conjecture or add fantastical details in an attempt to make things more interesting but in looking the information up later find that the information was false or over embellished. Private tour is ideal as they can cater to your needs better at a pace that works best. Transportation was fine, clean van with plenty of space and lots of drinks available, but the driver did talk on the phone for a while while everyone was trying to sleep. Obviously getting picked up at 3am is painful but this allows us divers to avoid flying right after diving and not waste a day otherwise.

The trip fom Hurghada to Cairo exceeded our expectations! It was surely 100/10. This is our first time visiting Egypt and we are very happy that we got to see not only touristic points. During this private ride we saw amazing views on the way and also had the possibility to see how locals live in Cairo. We were very delighted because the trip was very well organized and we could plan our day how we wanted. Amr Aref Ahmed is the best driver ever! We felt very safe all the time with him. Our tour gide Farha is the most friendly and warm tour guide we have ever met. She showed us the breathtaking Pyramids and told a lot of new information that we never knew! Also she takes amazing photos that we are very happy about!:) We were stunned to see the Grand Egyptian Museum with our own eyes. During the museum visitation we saw how much Farha loves her job. She was so excited to tell us all the stories about Egyptian history and we learned a lot from her. She also took us to see how Cartouches are made and we could see the making process with our own eyes. The luch was breathtaking as we ate traditional Egyptian food with the view of the Pyramids! I recommend this trip for everyone that plan to visit Cairo from Hurghada!

This trip from Hurghada to Cairo was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Although this was our second time visiting, we saw so much more this time as it was a private tour, which made a huge difference. Everything was extremely well organised, making what could have been a long day feel smooth, comfortable, and completely stress-free. Visiting the Giza Pyramids was an amazing experience – seeing them in person is something that simply can’t be described. Our tour guide, Esraa, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the history to life and explaining everything in a clear, engaging way. She answered all our questions and made the experience even more memorable. A special mention also has to go to our driver, Hussien, who was brilliant. He was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The highlight for me was the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is absolutely world-class. The exhibits are stunning, modern, and incredibly well presented, and having the flexibility and insight of a private tour allowed us to truly appreciate everything without feeling rushed. Transport was comfortable, timings were well managed, and we always felt very well looked after. The value for money is excellent considering how much you get to see in one day. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hurghada – even if it’s not your first time in Cairo, this experience offers so much more and is truly unforgettable

Our tour guide Asma was simply amazing, so friendly with so much knowledge and passion. It was clear she got so much joy from taking people to see the pyramids and learn the history, and said it was her dream job which really showed. Unfortunately when we arrived the pyramids were completely covered by fog, but Asma did brilliantly to laugh it off and show us them up close and explain all the history while the fog cleared throughout the morning before taking us back to see the panorama view late morning when the fog had started to lift. She then took us to a wonderful restaurant that served a delicious lunch, before stopping off at a papyrus centre to see how it was made, which was really interesting. We then went to the grand Egyptian museum and Asma was brilliant at knowing which exhibitions to take us to see, as the museum was absolutely huge and very daunting with so many exhibits! Again her knowledge and passion shone through. She made the day absolutely wonderful, chatting and laughing and even brought with her some of her favourite Egyptian snacks for us to try. Our driver Hussain was also very friendly, he had an incredibly long day picking us up at 2am and not dropping us back at our hotel until 10pm but he was so happy and made sure we had everything we needed.

I would advise everyone to take the private tour. Went on a group trip to Luxor last year. This trip was more expensive, but worth every euro. No stress and customer is king. Guide Mohammed Abdulnaby has treated us like real VIPs and driver Hussein Suhabi was very knowledgeable. Despite the fact that his English was inadequate he was there for us all day and helped where he could.

Everything was perfect. Felt completely safe being driven by Mamdoh. Our tour guide Mamdoh was the most knowledgeable guide on egyptian history I've even had the pleasure to meet. The Pyramids where of course breath taking. HOWEVER The Grand Egyptian Museum was beyond words. I've watched it being built since I was 15 and being show round it by such a knowledgeable and interesting person was more than I could ever imagine. Thank you for making my dreams come true!

Such a lovely tour with excellent knowledge about each place we visited. The lunch was phenomenal. The bus was comfortable and clean. Not only did we enjoy the tour and learn a lot about ancient Egypt but we also enjoyed just regular conversations with our guide Aly. He is very intelligent. He was able to answer all our questions. It was such a pleasure choosing this as our tour for the day. ADVICE : (For groups with children) We had a group tour of 15 people but 6 were children. This tour has A LOT to do in 9 hours and children slow it down. Wasn’t Ally’s fault, he tried to keep us on track. But it was hot and they got tired. (FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS): ALSO, if you plan on taking a ton of photos this would not be a good trip for you. It’s fast paced and full of great information so photographers beware. We had one of these in our group that also slowed us down. Split this into more than one day.

Mona was a great tour guide even when we weren’t the best tourists. We saw a ton of sites and she went out of the way to make the day great no matter the circumstances. The driver was also great! He kept us safe and we even had some fun on the ride.

Great tour with Mahmoud, who makes sure that you get the full picture of the history of pyramids and the history of the land.

Nice trip with Khaled, all well explained, in german! cool guy! Do the dahshur pyramids, not so much visited, not for all, but it’s worth! An Indiana Jones experience!
