Things to do in  Cairo

We had an excellent transfer from Cairo to Luxor with our driver Tolba. He made us feel very safe and he is a wonderful driver. The drive is approximately 9 hours including stops along the way for coffee etc. He speaks excellent English and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend him as a driver.

This was an excellent trip. Khalid our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and polite. We were picked up in a nice car and privately driven to all the sites. The lunch provided was a great buffet, lots of options and very tasty. I would recommend this trip as an easy way to see the best sites in Cairo in a day.

Great experience and definitely more valuable than just visiting the pyramids, which was great, but the ATV ride is an unforgettable way to see the views of desert & Cairo. Guide was fantastic and took excellent photos

Duba is the man! Was waiting right outside the gate when I landed. He was courteous and offered some insight on activities to do in Cairo that I had not considered.

Good experience around cairo such a nice tour guide he tried to show me everything I needed to see about cairo

This was an excellent tour. The guide was very informed and took his time to explain many things regarding the Egyptian culture. The sites were amazing to see at night and the locations to see over all of Cairo made for a very memorable experience. This tour is highly recommended

I love the old museum. The tour was well conducted. Then on to the museum of civilisation. This is a beautiful building. And well worth the visit .The mummy museum is interesting to see and well presented. Cairo traffic is boring but eventually moves

I have booked this tour to see something special in Cairo& I'm really happy because i have did that with hesham.Really i enjoyed the tour &the traditional food koshary.I will recommend that to tour to anyone wants to see something special.

Mohammed was polite and courteous from the moment we met inside the terminal. He gave good advice and has excellent knowledge of Cairo, and speaks excellent English. Would highly recommend

This a great part day tour that works well if you have part of day available while in Cairo. Taking a tour was easy way to see these sites that may otherwise be difficult to see.

The tour was a very special and a great blessing to experience; Twafiq explained the sites in great detail and he shared his experiences as a local living in Cairo. Although the tour was only four hours, we were able to see the Coptic Quarters, St. Sergius' church, the Hanging Church, the Mohammad Ali Alabaster Mosque, and Citadel.

Visiting the Castle was the best part for me. I enjoyed the Catacombs, but the the castle was the best. The Mediterranean Sea was beautiful. Also the area with the Tower and 2 small Sphinx was exceptional. I remember something about millimeters!! It was nice to see the area outside of Cairo. We saw a mall, a prison and some homes.

We ended up booking this day trip as a last minute alternative to another that didn't work with our schedules. Our tour guide Noha was great, knowledgeable and accommodating. It was good to see all these beautiful religious places of worship and learning about Cairo's history. Thank you Noha!

I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Cairo and wants to see all the highlights in one day. Our guide, Zenab, was absolutely fabulous! She made our experience very memorable. She took great photos, ensured we were not hassled and hit every landmark in a timely fashion. 5 stars for this company and tour guide!

I had a knowledgeable guide who spoke very good English and a very competent driver. It was a great trip for my first full day in Cairo.

My husband and I took one day trip to Cairo to see the pyramids. We flew in from Sharm in early hours. We were picked up at the airport by our lovely guide Ola in a private taxi with a driver Momen. Ola was the best, super knowledgeable and passionate about the Egypt and it’s history. She gave us an overview of the trip and we learnt a lot about places we were about to see! She took us into most iconic places and gave us superb information! We had time to see, take pictures and listen to the history without any hustle. Momen was the best driver also, always waiting in the perfect spot for us! We had many toilet breaks and nothing was of a trouble. The whole experience was superb! I would recommend this trip, this company and most of all Ola and Momen as they were the best!

We wanted to do a trip through Egypt with our daughters for a long time and this year we had the possibility to do it. We started at Cairo to see the pyramids and then took the sleeping train to Aswan, where the Nile cruise to Luxor started. Pick up at the train station was on time, welcomed by our guide, checking in, freshing up and then it started with visiting the Aswan dam and Philae temple. The temple was beautiful. Our guide Mohamed was great, knowledgeable and humorous. He is a good storyteller and tested our knowledge, which is nice for the interaction. We were guided in a small group, us 6, a couple and a single traveller. We enjoyed it a lot. The guide didn't push us at all to book optional tours, what we appreciated a lot. For sure great tours, but they started too early, haha. Instead of Abu Simbel or the hot air balloon we choose for the Nubian Village and even had a swim in the Nile. Very clean an refreshing, didn't expect it. After 4 days of cruising, visiting temples, eating. We felt a bit melancholic saying goodbye to everybody we spend time with those days. I recommend this cruise and specially the guide Mohamed. Extra plus: on the boat you don't have to tip everybody separatly. At the reception they have a tip box for all staff. Of course the guide is extra :) And respect for all the people working with this heat during Ramadan.

Our tour in Cairo was great. Ayman our tour guide was great, polite and very knowledgeable. He’s fluent in English. He went above and beyond to answer all of our historical and cultural questions. We enjoyed the tour with him so much that we booked more tours with him the following days. The agency Emo Tours were great in accommodating all of our requests. We highly recommend it and we would do it again. The tour combines very interesting parts of the history and culture of Egypt.

Our trip was amazing!!! We chose the 4-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with hot air balloon and Aby Simbel. I went with one of closest friends and coworkers, so it was two omen traveling solo. The tour began in Aswan, however I purchased the tickets and took a plane from Cairo to Aswan to begin the tour. Before booking I contacted the owner- his information was provided in Viator - and he was very helpful and pleasant - and informed me that the tour guides would be supplied to my friend and myself privately - with private car transport if we would like to upgrade our package. I was worried about not interacting with other tourists, so he did infom me to try at least one private tour and transport at the very beginning - which was temples in Aswan and the hydrodam. He was absolutely right! Take this advice- book private tours and transport if you are a small group of travelers or traveling solo. When you go to the temples, the locals are looking at those huge tour buses and they are all over you trying to sell stuff, begging, standing in the way and it is a huge headache. We breezed by these groups frequently, huge, huge plus for Mody Tours. Our tour guides were Aida, Taalat, Meena, and (I cannot remember his name, he has gray hair and blue-green eyes, was our guide for Ramses III temple.) All guides were very resourceful, well versed in ENglish, very polite, professional, and caring of our experience, going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, hydrated, fed, and educated on the temples and other historical sites. Aida helped my purchase a necklace for my godmother that she loves and took us shopping (again privately, without people hassling us) to some high quality stores where we brought Egyptian cotton sheets, spices, perfumes, as well as took us on a tour of the Nubian village. Taalat was also very kind, very well versed in the temple information, he took us to aa sculpture store privately where we purchased alabaster vases and statues. my friend has some difficulty walking and Taalat made sure to go above expectations to help, getting water, snacks, and cool drinks - that we did not pay him for, stopping at the pharmacy, carrying BOTH our bags and canteens (so he was weighed down), buying lunch, and basically catering to our every need. Meena, who also stayed on the cruise ship, made sure to outline our daily itinerary in WhatsApp, give us wake up calls, have our packed lunches or other meal times arranged, and coordinated our departure/arrival anytime we left the ship. Our Ramses III guide (sorry I cannot remember his name) was also an archeologist, so he also spoke about his personal experience on-site at the temples and his work outside of touring. He also invited us to his house for tea and snacks. Our drivers (sorry I can not remember their names except Mani) were all excellent as well. Opened doors and kept people away from the car when we were stopped. On the day Mani picked us up to go to the temples from the boat he stopped and got coffee and snacks for us - which we did not ask nor pay him for - and while we drove through the dessert he talked with us, showed us pictures of his wife and children, showed us the terraforming project where they are converting the dessert to farmland, showed us the desert mirage, we even got to use the bathroom for free at the rest stop. (also Amazing) The theme with this group is impeccable service and I am happy to recommend this company to anyone. I also encourage you to reach out to the owner if anyone needs special accommodations (they do not walk well, can not enter all temples). from what I heard from other tourists this is a personal touch of the guides and drivers, as there really is no handicap services that I witnessed. Thank you Mody Tours for you service. This was the highlight of my 14-day vacation and I can not wait to return.

I have booked this tour to see the other face of Cairo.When i have booked it,the tour operator contacted me to handle everything.At the pick up time the guide had contacted me.He was very professional & knowledgeable about the Egyptian history.The driver also was very professional & he drove us in the streets of Cairo.Really i recommend that tour for any person who is visiting Cairo.Heshsm & his staff are the best.
