Pros: Communication with Hisham was 100% excellent. Always responded on time. From the time I arrived, to the to the time I left Egypt I knew I could count on a response via WhatsApp. He took care of everything, from arrival to departure. The tour guide assigned to me took nice pictures of me for my time in Cairo. The driver was very nice and on time (even early) for any trips/transfers. Cons: I still think you should book if Hisham is your guide, he has great reviews. I am taking away one star because last minute (2 days before) I found out Hisham was not going to be my tour guide. That was okay and I expected a 5 star guide to replace him. Unfortunately I was disappointed , and the there was room for improvement from the assigned tour guide. I have traveled over 25 countries solo, so I know a quality tour guide when I see one. This guide was not up to my expectations. I went to Luxor/Aswan with another guide from another company and it was a completely different experience(5 star). Also my suggestion is the car driver should have water available, and AC on all the time. Sometimes the AC was turned off. Thank you for a wonderful time. Egypt is wonderful and safe, do not hesitate to travel to this beautiful country.

Booked a tour with Hisham to celebrate my birthday with 7 of my closest friends and family. Hisham was amazing to work with! He made sure all the details were perfect for our trip and made us feel safe the whole time we were in Egypt! Our driver Achmed deserves a special shout out for making sure we arrived at all of our destinations safely. We had an unforgettable trip and 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to travel to Egypt. We felt safe the entire time we were there and never once felt unsafe. Thanks again to Hisham and his team. We will never forget this once in a lifetime experience.

A few months ago I starting planning our Egypt trip with a tour guide mentioned on this AA Non-Rev page a few times. I reached out to him and got a quote. Seemed very high to me, especially traveling to a country that I thought would be much cheaper. I asked him about a few different options and all were way higher than what I could book on Viator separately for the tour. I mentioned my findings to him and he insisted that he was one of the top 10 tour guides in Egypt and he offered a PRIVATE comfortable deluxe van and would make our trip a “dream vacation!” Side note, the Viator tours that I was looking at were all private and had 5 star reviews. The most important thing to me was that he had prior experiences with airline employee standby travel and that he was flexible for airport pickup and we didnt have to pay until we got there. So I went ahead and agreed on the $1835 dollars for a two day tour of Cairo for 5 people. He sent me an itinerary and without doing any research on it myself, it sounded fine. Part of the reason why you hire a tour guide is for knowledge and you not having to do any planning. We arrived late and he was there for us. All was good but during the 45 minute ride to the hotel he asked us what we wanted to do for the day trip the next morning. I thought we’d follow the same itinerary but we arrived to our hotel at 1am so he was catering to our sleep schedule. We mentioned a few ideas but settled on going to the pyramids and getting that out of the way since we were staying at the beautiful Marriott Mena House right by the pyramids. We never had a set time for us to start our tour. He just said after we eat breakfast at our hotel, we’d begin our trip. We agreed on a 9am start time. This part is where it starts going south. He sent his driver to get us first at our hotel and then we picked him up next in his local town of Giza. He took us shopping first because we wanted to buy scarfs for our pictures. He was fully aware we could buy our $1-3 dollar scarfs at the pyramid itself (we didn’t know that until we got to the pyramids) but he ended up taking us to a specific store, not a shopping area at a bazzar or market place, but this random store. I thought that was fishy since he decided the store. I immediately assumed it was a commission store. That didn’t turn me away because im fine with people making an extra dollar. I just don’t want to be completely taken advantage of, especially since we’re Americans. Anyways, we shop. The kids were picking out things and asking how much everything was….we quickly find out it’s WAY overpriced. The store attendant kept saying he’d make us a deal at the end. Let me be clear, this was our first stop and hardly knew the Egyptian pounds into US dollar yet either. We ended up buying 3 scarfs, two metal trinkets, a t-shirt and a small clay pyramid. The man asked us for 3500 Egyptian pounds which is a roughly 140 in US dollars. I was like, “oh heck no!” I wouldn’t even pay this in the states. Then I have my teenage kids saying they’d pay me back, let’s just get it. I also had my husband asking if we’re putting it all back? We didn’t know just how bad we were getting ripped off until we got to the pyramids to find out the $15 scarf I bought was $2 there. Our tour guide hardly entered the store to even help us in this transaction. He went and got coffee. I’m trying to make this short as possible. Once we knew that we were totally ripped off, we asked our tour guide to take us back to the store to get a refund. He was happy to do that for us. Everything we were refunded we got the 2 days later at the market place for $32 usd. We didn’t follow our itinerary that day and didn’t do anything else but the pyramids, camel ride and the sphinx.  He didn’t even take us to the other two pyramids in the area. Everything seemed cut short from the shopping trip and having to refund it. Later that night at 2am I get a Facebook message that he twisted his ankle and need an X-ray the next morning. He said he was sending a new tour guide and same driver. I was of course sympathetic but sad our trip wasn’t working out as planned, especially for $1835usd! I gave him two options. Send just a driver and we’d do it ourselves and discount the overall price OR cancel and I’d pay him half for the 1st. $917 for one day at the pyramids is 3 times overpriced for 5 people but again, that’s what I said I’d pay so I did. He sent his driver and agreed on $125 for just the driver but we had to pay extra for all the entrance fees. My trip was nothing like planned in our itinerary. It was very much cut short, changed a lot, ended up doing it on our own the 2nd day, etc. Our final price was $1385 but charged a little more to use our CC. I’m writing this post to say this….I was extremely over charged for our trip. Everything that I ended up getting on Viator could have been $600 and we paid $1385, could you imagine if I had to pay the $1835…so him spraining an ankle work in our favor. Just a heads up that just because someone recommends someone on this site doesn’t mean you’ll have the same experience. His name is Ahmed Mido. If you do use him, be very stern with him and what you can get from other private companies online. He is a very nice guy, was fair when we encounter the problem and how to work out the following day without him. I also felt safe and secure with him. Just felt extremely ripped off, and that makes for a bad experience. That’s all.

Hisham our Tour guide arranged airport pickup/drop off, a hotel with roof top breakfast and view of the Giza Pyramids and all our tour stops. We only had 1 day in Cairo, but is was non stop sights, local food, shopping, museums and even a Camel ride. I 100% recommend Egypt Holiday Tours for history of Egypt and tours.

We visited Giza, Alexandria, White and Black Dessert (camping) and Luxor. From our pick up at the airport to the hotel stay, camel ride, quad ride in the pyramids, sand boarding in the Sahara desert, Balloon ride in Luxor and all the temples we visited the service and hospitality was AMAZING! I would recommend 100% I came to Cairo because it was my birthday and it was my dream trip. They made sure I had great birthday memories with my mom. For me this trip was everything ! It went above and beyond my expectations!

Celebrating my 65th birthday with a trip to Egypt, my daughter found Hisham tour which exceeded my expectations. We had personal drivers from when we landed to our departure. We also had very knowledgeable tour guides who were all about maximizing my experiences. Visited Giza, Memphis, Sakkara—saw the Sphinx, Pyramid and rode a camel. A birthday dinner cruise on the Nile river, don’t get any better that. Last part of trip we flew to Luxor, it’s a lush beautiful city I plan on visiting again. Rate 10/10

I want to that Hisham for making my Mother's 65th birthday a one for the books. I went with my mother and aunt. We were not only in awe with the sights but the service Hisham provided us. He was humble, funny and always went a step above the rest!. My mother was pleasantly surprised with her birthday cake and upgraded room. ANYTHING you need Hisham will make it happen with out a problem. The private and personalizes tours guides and transportation made it extra special. If you are ever in Egypty do not think twice to use this travel company and ask for Hisham!. We will definitely choose them when we come back to explore more of Egypyt#come as friends leave as family!

Hisham and his team are the best option to visit the highlights of this city… for a couple of days, they guided us with a great service and clear information about Egyptian history… the best was the price, cheaper than in other agency… and it includes added value like support to find an ATM, very good drivers, experienced guides, anything you need… we are very happy of knowing Hisham and his team, 100% recommended!

Amazing experience with Hisham . This tour guide is amazing. You feel you're hanging out with a friend. He knows a lot of history and cool spots to go. Definitely I recommend. I don't like use tourguides but him amazing. Really good service.

Hisham made our trip to Cairo manageable and unforgettable! My family of 5 reached out to Hisham to set up a customized tour of Cairo that would also include kid friendly activities! We traveled with a larger family group, and when they wanted to join our tour with Hisham he was flexible and accommodating! He set up transportation to and from for our larger group, anything we needed he was able to get and was overall a blast to hang out with! Highly recommend!

The tour was excellent. Professional and knowledgeable guide. They also helped with logistics of our travel in Egypt like COVID testing and airport transportation. Very courteous and efficient. Highly recommend.

Hisham & Ahmed (driver) are the Best duo! Hisham was extremely knowledgeable of Egypt’s history, friendly, funny, flexible and most of all kept us safe! A group of my friends and I (5 females) spent 5 days in Cairo. He was helpful every step of the way. With a detailed itinerary in advance and help picking the perfect hotel location. We explored Sakura (went inside a pyramid), Giza pyramids, Camel riding, ATV/Buggy riding, Egyptian Museum, Egyptian Food, The Mall of Egypt, private sunset cruise on the Nile, and great souvenir shops. Hisham and Ahmed were always on time, kept Open communication and they were extremely flexible with itinerary changes (we made several daily lol). I can guarantee you that this duo would not disappoint you! Worth every penny! Most importantly we felt safe from arrival to drop off at the airport! Thank you for an amazing experience!

If you're ever thinking about going to Egypt, booking with Hisham & Ahmed, his driver is an absolute must! Hisham exceeded my thoughts of what I thought a tour guide would be. Hisham is funny, informative, nice, flexible, etc. Whatever we wanted to do, Hisham made it possible and happen without any issue. Hisham made me & my five girlfriends feel extremely comfortable and safe at all times in Egypt. Also, he handled us, five ladies a pretty great time( pray for him) lol, he allowed us to be indecisive and tardy. Super understanding! We had the opportunity to visit the Sakkara, camel ride from Giza pyramid to the great Sphinx, June buggy/ atv ride through the desert, which he allowed us to come back because we were exhausted after all the activities. He went to the Egyptian museum, which was the best museum I've ever visited. Hisham explained all the best facts about Egypt's history. The old market was a great cultural experienced and the Nile River boat ride which was a great view of city and cool vibes. Hisham took us to the mall, to see jewelry and get great oils. In other words, whatever we wanted to do, Hisham going to make it happen. Also, he took us to the best seafood restaurant spot Nile City (i think). Also, his driver Ahmed was the sweetest person ever. Although, he didn't speak English, he was super nice and cool. In other words, if visiting Egypt, hanging out with Hisham is a must. He definitely showed us American girls a great, unmatched trip! PS, he took the best pictures lol. He knew all the great angels too!

Hisham was professional and friendly from the moment I reached out to planned my group visit to Egypt. We had a short time to visit this country and he made it possible for us to see all the highlights. From the moment we landed in Cairo he was able to let us enjoy his country. No one in my group lacked anything and we were all safe as females. We got to see pyramids, ride camels, visit temples, museums and castles, hot air balloon experiences plus really see Egypt in it's true form. This is not my last visit to Egypt and I will only work with Hisham and his driver Mustafa. PS he knows how to take great pics and get the right angles. Til next time Egypt and Hisham

Where do I begin.... I was nervous about coming to Egypt but after spending time with Hisham and him showing us the city and all its wonders I can't wait to visit again. He was superb in setting up all the tours, pick ups and answering whatever questions I had. I only wish there was a person like him in every country I'd like to visit. After all the time we spent together I feel like I have a friend in Egypt.

Egypt Holiday Tour did it again, they provided another great day tour! Ramy is a very knowledgeable, patient, and fun tour guide. Learning about the treasures at the Museum of Antiquities was amazing as was the citadel, market, and Mosque. Take it from someone who doesn’t usually book tours, don’t hesitate to trust your trip to Egypt Holiday Tours.

This is a great way to see and experience Cairo. Ramy is very knowledgeable and provided an awesome tour experience in the museum. Afterwards we explored the Mohammad Ali mosque where Ramy answered our questions which provided additional insight of Islam. Next, Ramy presented us with various shopping opportunities for high quality Egyptian goods. But the day would not be complete without a trip to the open market and authentic food.

Our experience in Cairo and Alexandria was amazing! Stress-free and purely enjoyable thanks to the team at Egypt Holiday Tour. Hisham is very personable and flexible. I trusted him to plan our 4 days in Egypt and it was the best thing I could’ve done. Cairo is a very busy city and I couldn’t imagine trying to navigate through the madness on my own. Don’t think twice. Book your excursions now!

While I love Cairo, it's not easy to explore on your own. It is an incredible city and there's a lot to see and do. This tour is a perfect way to experience as much as possible in a day with friendly, knowledgable drivers and guides who ensure everything goes smoothly. As a single female traveler, I am so glad that I worked with Hisham and his team to explore not only Cairo but also Luxor, Azwan, Alexandria and several other parts of the county. I highly recommend you hire them too!
