Amazing day - The Cairo tour with Mo and Abanoub was amazing. The pyramids and the history behind them were told by Mo. He had a factual answer for any question we had. Traditions, Scams, what to look for in REAL souvenirs. He also was the best photographer for us!!!Abanoub’s driving was better than most Americans. I’m from USA. Our lunch had a beautiful view of pyramids and the city. This was a no stress day because both men took such great care of us. You must book with both Mo and Abanoub if you want to see as much as possible or go at your own pace to truly enjoy the Egyptian culture.

We had a great trip - We had a great trip with Mohammed to Cairo. He picked us up from the hotel at 2am as arranged and we arrived at the Egyptian museum just before it opened at 9am. He first gave us a guided tour and then we had some free time to look around. The museum is way too big to see everything, but we had a good impression. Then we visited a papyrus factory/store (yes… just for tourists, but it's nice to see the process anyway) and had lunch at a restaurant with a view of the pyramids. Then we visited the pyramids and the Sphinx. Mohammed also took us to a viewpoint in the desert offering a wonderful view of the three large and several small pyramids. From this location we also saw the Saqqara Step Pyramid from afar. Finally, we returned to the hotel. What we also really appreciated was that he offered additional options during the trip, like a camel ride or a boat ride on the Nile, but immediately said “no, it 'is also an option'. I would definitely recommend booking a trip with Mohammed. from Hurghadatogo

Absolutely remarkable and praiseworthy! - We booked a trip from Hurghada to Cairo to see the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. It was actually a small group tour, maximum 6 people. The others canceled and the tour still took place. I think that's reliable and great. It was great for us because we happened to have a private tour for two. Our driver was at the hotel on time before us. The trip was safe, our driver was funny and made sure that we felt completely comfortable. Toilet breaks were possible at any time. When we arrived in Cairo, our German-speaking guide accompanied us. He first showed us around the museum and gave us exciting information about individual exhibits. The tour guide spoke very good German and answered all of our curious questions in detail. Also about other topics. He took a lot of time, our wishes were fulfilled, everything was done on time without stress or rush and still everything at the right time. Everything went according to plan. We were unobtrusively told about additional things that you can do, such as a short boat trip on the Nile. We saw it as an additional opportunity to see Cairo from the Nile. We did it for little money. We really enjoyed it. At the pyramids, you can see one of the smaller ones from the inside. This is included in the entrance fee. However, it is very strenuous and you should not be claustrophobic. We did it and it was worth the experience. Our guide was happy to help with photos and we were able to take funny, original snapshots. We felt like we had all the time in the world to do it. In general, it was punctual, well organized, everything worked out and we were treated individually. All in all, we were well looked after and the provider is super honest and we will do more trips with him. Unreservedly recommended. Thank you HurghadaToGo

big journey - I have just returned from a week long holiday in Hurghada. During that time I had wonderful excursions with Sherif Tours, one to Luxor by car and the other to Cairo by van. Both guides were very knowledgeable but I must say if you get the chance and are in Cairo ask for Rasha you will not be disappointed. She is a force of nature and obviously loves Egyptian history. We had private transport for both excursions including the 7 hour round trip to Luxor. Both cars were modern and very clean. The drivers were considerate, punctual and professional. I had researched the various excursions available before we went to Egypt and Mina @Sherif Tours always answered my questions promptly and with detailed information. I was concerned about booking the excursions through an online company especially because they were significantly less expensive than the excursions offered by other companies we booked the hotel through. However, when I asked Mina when he wanted the payment, he replied he only wanted the payment when the taxi picked us up to start the trip, so there was no risk. I must also mention that I changed the Cairo tour from taxi to van a few days before departure. Mina bought the ticket herself, taking the risk that I would not back out of the contract. I'm not sure many other tour companies would do that. If you are thinking about booking a tour in Hurghada, don't be intimidated by the local representative, contact Mina @Sherif Tours and enjoy a professional tour at a reasonable price.

Wonderful visit - A very long day but worth it, the tour was well organized. I would have preferred to stay longer at the pyramids and have the possibility of extending the activities there. Lunch was good and the drivers were friendly too. Overall, I would recommend this spectacular opportunity to see the last ancient wonder of the world. My wife and I really enjoyed it

Wonderful day - Wonderful day in Cairo from Hurghada. Everything went as planned. Everything is super well coordinated down to the minute. Visit the different districts of the capital, stopping in front of the Grand Mosque of Cairo. Boat trip on the Nile for €10/person, visit to the Egyptian museum, visit to a papyrus maker, meal, visit to the pyramids and the Sphynx and camel ride for €10/person, visit to a perfumer creator pure essences for major brand perfumes, airport return. The guide was great, kind to us, answering all our questions.... We will do this excursion again. The children loved it

Great trip - I had a great trip. The reservation was easy and once the trip was confirmed I received regular updates. Excellent communication with Mr. Ahmed regarding my queries about the additional taxes.Arrived on time for hotel pickup. Our trip was in a comfortable bus with multiple bathroom breaks. Mohammed, our main tour guide, was incredibly educated and friendly to all of us. He gave us insightful advice on Egyptian customs and the do's and don'ts for safety.Overall, the vacation was enjoyable despite the long distance.All trips were booked with the same company to ensure easy communication.

An excellent experience - Overall a great experience. We arrived earlier than planned and we’re offered to start the tour early which was great as we were only in Cairo for one night. Benefit of it being a private tour! The pictures we got of the pyramids and the sphinx were great despite it being hazy on the day. Our tour guide was knowledgable answering questions we had, diverting away any people trying to sell things at the pyramids and even bantering us about supporting the “wrong” football team. The driver was also friendly offering to take us to any additional stops and keeping us hydrated with bottles of water. The tour does also include two stops at a papyrus and perfume shop - the latter we didn’t mind because I was looking to get some perfume but, if that’s not something you’re keen on, my advice would be to mention it to the guide as they were quite flexible with us.
