I am tempted to say “my friend Hani” runs an amazing service, because that is how he makes you feel. I first went on the 9-hour layover tour in summer 2011. Hani and driver picked me up at the airport at 3am, and by the time I left at noon we had wandered along the Nile, walked through the clusters of (then) cheerful protesters in Tahrir Square, toured the bazaar and medina area, had breakfast, and gone to both Giza and Saqqara. A whirlwind, but it was so well-planned I never felt rushed or hectic, and I learned a huge amount without feeling overwhelmed. In summer 2012 I stopped back for the daytrip out to the Valley of the Whales, again a stunning trip, made most impressive to me for the fact that at the height of summer during Ramadan Hani good-naturedly walked me around the desert all day while eating and drinking nothing himself (he made sure I had an excellent meal)–and with almost no sleep, since the evening before he had voluntarily stayed in town to escort me to a film/lecture across the city that I needed to get to for my work. As a solo woman traveler I would not even have returned to Egypt this year if it had not been for knowing I could rely on Hani and Egypt Fun Tours. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.
Point blank: taking a tour w/ Egypt Fun Tours was the absolute best decision I could’ve made!
I found this company (thanks Trip Advisor!) very last minute and was so happy to read the great reviews. Reaching out to this company was a no-brainer, despite the fact that I’d done so a few hours before my flight to Egypt. Even better was that Hamada responded via WhatsApp
