Amazing experience, everything was perfect. The guides were such lovely people with real knowledge. We felt very safe all the time, because there was always somebody from Egypt day tours with us. Service was impecable. We were a couple and a 6 months old baby back them. Super chilled was visiting...

Service was impecable. We were a couple and a 6 months old baby back them. Super chilled was visiting Egypt with a small baby, they were very caring about her needs. Highly recommend booking the trip with them. Going by yourself can be confusing unless u can speak the language. I wish we can go back again! Thanks to all involved specially guides Hosny Zahran and Mohammad (big Mo) who took very good care of us :)karensM5802RI

This was an amazing adventure! It wasn't crowded. There was an opportunity to ride camels. The cost to ride camels at the pyramids was around $20 US and well worth it. The pyramids were just amazing! You can pay $7 to go down inside one of them but you have to stay bent over the whole way so if you have back or neck issues this is not something you want to do. Also if you're claustrophobic you won't want to go into it. There are steps to climb up onto part of one of the pyramids. It was also amazing to see the Sphinx. The museum was also a great experience. These are three things you won't regret doing! This is something you don't want to miss if you ever go to Egypt!joannamC1904VZ

Today was one of the best days of my life and my friend's life! It's not every day you get to be in amongst so much beautiful history. Our tour guide, Sayed (Bazooka) was absolutely incredible as well as our driver, Mustafa. We were picked up at 8am and from there we were taken straight to the Giza Pyramids. From the start and throughout the day, Sayed explicated to us so many minute details about ancient Egypt and the relics and wonders we saw. We had the opportunity for $23 extra dollars to go inside the Giza Pyramid which was well worth it. It was quite a climb and a bit hot, but being inside the room where such a prominent King from thousands of years ago lay was truly a wonder. From there, we spent $10 each to ride camels (Ships of the Desert) through the desert next to the Giza Pyramids. Throughout our time, Sayed took many many pictures of my friend and I making sure to get the best angles. We then went to the Sphinx and saw other relics around that area. After that we got to go to the Papyrus Museum and have an interactive tour there. Afterwards, we went to a perfumery where we got to sample many scents. Next, we were taken to a wonderful, delicious lunch that will go down as one of the best meals of this year (beef, rice chicken kebabs, eggplant, tomato, potatoes, baba ganoush, tzatziki, dates, and Turkish coffee). After, we got to visit the Cairo Museum. It was here that Sayed really walked us through individual pieces of arts and their significance. I appreciate his respectful and thorough manner in which he taught us about the history. Sayed went above and beyond for us. We needed sunblock too and he made sure we made an extra stop at the Pharmacy to get some. Overall, this was an incredible incredible life changing experience. It's not every day you get to see a wonder of the world. It was a very hot day and I appreciate his service to us.jamesdX9927JS

We heard a lot about online tours and bookings, at the beginning we were hesitated. However, dealing with Attarious was the key. He well planned our stay in Egypt and he assigned the best Tour guide "Ali" who is really a treasure for the Egyptian history. Also, We cannot forget our lovely Driver "Ahmed" with his smile and great hospitality. Honestly we do recommend this agency and those guys if you wish to see the real Egypt and taste the real beauty of this country (and don't forget the traditional food, you must try it). We had the best experience ever.rave267

Organization of our trip couldn't have been better! Ahmed answered all questions timely and in such a pleasant manner. He helped us organize tours and transportation in Aswan, Luxor and Cairo. I had contacted 5 other well rated tour agencies and it was Egypt Day Tours that answered me right back while 4 of the other 5 never answered back at all. And in the end, boy did we luck out! We especially loved our guide Eslam in Cairo. He gave us an in depth look at ancient Egypt as well as the Egypt of today and he did it all with enthusiasm and ease. It was like touring with a friend! 5 stars, super happy!
