A Must Do Experience - An excellent well organised tour by Ramashka Tours. Ahmed time keeping ensured we were the first to arrive at the venues avoiding the crowds. His mini van was spotless with air conditioning, WiFi and TV to ensure the time flew on the journey. Ahmed made sure we were looked after with his hospitality of free snacks, cold drinks and even ice cream through the journey. As we were travelling with another small group (we had 3, the other group had 4) we were able to adjust the timings/ itinerary based on our interests and the heat which worked well for us. Shirou our guide on arrival in Cairo jump on the bus and started the tour imparting stories and information. Her manner was friendly and personable and shared the information and knowledge in a relatable way so not to overwhelm you with information overload. She also adjusted the information based on the group and age range and was able to answer any question we put to her. Between Ahmed and Shirou they made the visit first class. Once at each venue, pyramids, Egyptian museum and Sphinx Shirou was able to navigate these to again avoid crowds but also showcasing key features… she also knew the best spots for all the cheesy photos at the pyramids we all want to take. Would definitely recommend Ramashka tours for visiting Cairo especially as the group size is small and you travel by VIP minivan so that you can really enjoy the experience.

Only booking one experience on your holiday? Make it this one! - The day couldn’t have been better - 10/10 experience! Great communication from the day we booked it, alongside pick up time they asked us to arrange a breakfast box from the hotel to take with us. We got picked up by an air conditioned van with WiFi, snacks and loads of different soft drinks + the van had a TV! We got told plan of the day on pick up, as well as drive time for everything. We arrived early and were able to do the Nile boat ride just us, before continuing to the museum. Shrouk was the most knowledgeable, passionate and enthusiastic tour guide I’ve ever had. We learned and saw so much during this tour and I would 100% recommend it to anyone. Huge thanks to our driver and tour guide for such a memorable trip!

Amazing!!!! 10/10 - Our day trip to Cairo with Ramaskha Tour was even better than we expected. Ahmed our driver had a really clean, air conditioned and comfortable mini van. He also made sure we stopped whenever we needed to and even had drinks and snacks in the van for us whenever we wanted them. He got us everywhere really quickly so the journeys didnt feel long at all. He also picked us up close by all the stops to take us to the next activity. Amazing driver 10/10
Our tour guide Sharouk met us in Cairo and she was energetic, knowledgable and made the sightseeing experience even better. She made us all feel safe and was able to translate for us with the egyptian locals.
Overall, if your looking to visit the pyramids by car/bus we can’t recommend Ramashka tour enough. 10/10 day and amazing driver and tour guide!!

great experience - Although it’s an early wake up it was definitely worth it. bus driver and guide were so nice and entertaining and accommodated to us. It was hot but the guide made sure that there would be shady spots as well as he didn’t make us do anything that we didn’t want to do. cold drinks and water were also on hand from them during the whole tour. the food for lunch was also very yummy with an array of choices. the guides also really take advantage of every photo opportunity and are very willing to take a photo whenever you need. overall it was an amazing experience and something i didn’t think i was going to see. the museum, the pyramids and the sphinx were amazing to see and touch in real life. a big thankyou to the ramashka tour group you guys were amazing and have definitely made my trip.

Perfect planning, good guide, gladly again - The driver Ahmed made sure that we were the first to get past the mass of tourists everywhere. He looked after us and looked after us. We were able to see everything without having to wait and "Mama" showed us around really well. He was very passionate and knew a lot of interesting information and places. We were already at the hotel by 8:30 p.m., which was great after such a long day. Great experience!

Nice experience, great driver and tour guide! - We were everywhere the first ones to arrive thanks to our great driver, so we didnt had the stress with the mass of tourists. Tourguide was also very good and passionate, learned much about Egypt history, great experience.
Maybe the visit to the shops isnt necessary, but its ok. Hope the products are good quality.
Thanks for everything!

Highly recommend! Best tour ever! - Everything about this trip was the best! The driver, guide and sights were honestly the best I've encountered. The driver made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and made good time on the journey, meaning we were able to get back for dinner at the hotel. The guide was very informative and we loved the whole part of this tour!

All in all, a successful experience - We were picked up promptly at 2:00 a.m. From El Gouna, the pick-up cost €10 (in cash) per person, but this was communicated beforehand. The minibus was quite comfortable with TV and WiFi, but this didn't work in the desert (most of the journey). There were six of us in total.
When we arrived in Cairo at around 8:00 a.m., the guide got in. After that, a Nile cruise was offered (€10 per person). The trip took about 30-40 minutes). We didn't go on this and waited in the bus. Then we went to the museum. It was very interesting there. The guide took us to what he thought were the most important relics and told us a bit about them. Then we had 45 minutes to look at the museum on our own. With the number of relics, it was of course impossible to look at everything.
After the museum, we went to a papyrus shop (purely a tourist shop with corresponding prices). After that, we had lunch. It must be said that this was also a pure tourist restaurant, nothing special or authentically Egyptian. The drink prices were more expensive than in a 5 star hotel.
Afterwards we went to the pyramids and the Sphinx. A big compliment to our guide Mamdouh, who told us a lot, took photos and protected us from the many sellers and scammers. A camel ride or a ride in a carriage was also offered here (10€ per person + tip).
After the pyramids we went to a perfume shop (sales event) where you could buy supposed essences or oils (25€-85€) (in our opinion not real).
That was all and we went back at a very fast pace (160km/h). One note from us, the TV was on both the outward and return journeys (very loud), so it was difficult to rest. But that depends on the group, who wants to watch and who doesn't.
All in all, it was a tiring but very interesting day. The museum and the pyramids are of course a must, the sales events were unnecessary, but you can't avoid them in Egypt. Hence 4 out of 5 stars.

I was disappointed - A very long day! 01:00 pickup from hotel and drop off at 21:00. Bus not comfortable. Cairo Museum OK. Lunch was good. Pyramids are colossal, but there really isn't much more to say about them.
