Totally recommend

I had a different tour guides, Yasmin and Fadia for each day, but the same driver. The guides were both very knowledgeable in their area of expertise. I was provided water and juice in the vehicle. We ate at a local shawarma diner. You won't leave Cairo/Giza and not know the full amazing history about the people who once inhabited the land thousands and thousands of years ago. Pretty amazing actually. A lot of information for two days. The driver, Jimmie was always prompt and such a very nice person. His vehicle was always clean. I'm happy I booked my tour through Viator. Worked out perfectly. And your tour guides will take care of you and guide you along.

Professional, Knowledgeable and and Prompt

My tour guide Fadia, and my driver Jimmie were outstanding. Jimmie was also my driver from the day before on a different tour. He's a super nice guy and a safe driver. Coming from me that means a lot, as I'm very critical of bad drivers and he's not one of those whatsoever. On both of my tours he was always very prompt. Fadia is a very lovely person and very patient. Even though I had visited the original Egyptian Museum many years ago, she surprised me with information and exhibits I had completely overlooked or didn't understand. I'm glad she was there this time to guide me around. Her knowledge was invaluable. If I ever want to go on another tour in or around Cairo and beyond, I would certainly use Siwa Travel and any of their drivers and tour guides. I felt safe and cared for. Thank you Jimmie and Fadia! ☺️

Good experience

Everything went well, our guides were great. Little cuckoo when it comes to the details of what we had booked but it’s not very serious.

Perfect 2-Day Cairo Experience!

Our 2-day trip in Cairo was absolutely amazing! We explored the iconic Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the fascinating treasures of the Egyptian Museum. The next day, we discovered the charm of Old Cairo, including the Citadel, the Hanging Church, and the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Everything was perfectly organized — comfortable transportation, a friendly and knowledgeable guide, and delicious local food. We learned so much about Egyptian history and culture, and every moment felt special. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the best of Cairo in just two days — it was unforgettable!

We were so happy and satisfied that, after the first excursion, we decided to do a second tour with her to the Citadel of Sultan Saladin al-Ayyuby and the Mosque of Mohammed Ali. Once again it was a wonderful experience, rich in history, emotion and attention. Highly recommended! If you visit Egypt, let Manal accompany you: he will make you live an authentic and unforgettable journey! ❤️

Excellent service

🌟 5-Star Review for Yasmina – The Best Tour Guide in Cairo! 🌟 Our experience in Cairo was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing tour guide Yasmina. From the moment we met her, she made us feel welcome and comfortable. She guided us through the Pyramids of Giza and other historical sites with incredible knowledge and passion, explaining the rich history and fascinating details behind each monument in a way that was easy to understand and truly captivating. Yasmina’s warm personality, patience, and friendliness made the entire tour feel special and personal. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience—helping with photos, sharing local insights, and making sure we enjoyed every moment. If you’re visiting Cairo and want to truly understand the magic of Egypt’s history while feeling like you’re exploring with a friend, Yasmina is the perfect guide. Highly recommended!

Amazing Pyramids Adventure – Highly Recommend

I had an unforgettable experience on this tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. I am so glad that I booked this tour! Mohamed was a very good guide and he tailored the tour to our needs/interests. This made our experience amazing!

On our first trip to Egypt, we saw many incredible locations and had the greatest time in Cairo thanks to our guide. Our one-day excursion to Cairo was made wonderful and ideal by them. With my wife pregnant and child, it was really safe. Scammers were all around, but the driver and guide kept them at bay and provided us with a tranquil time. I had a great time exploring the pyramids and museums in a safe manner. Strongly suggested. Make contact with them right away to avoid any negative situations while in Egypt.

I did this tour with basma during my first stay in Egypt. Abdel was very professional, and took care of us from the moment we left the hotel. Our Guide was very knowledgeable and professional. He took great pictures. Excellent experience overall. The GEM is stunning. Really overwhelming. We spent 3 hours here.
