I had a 12 hour layover on my way to Dar es Salaam and wanted to take full advantage of my time in Cairo. After researching for many hours, I came across Egypt Fun Tours and emailed for more information. I received a prompt reply with full details of several options. They all appealed to me, so I requested a price to do everything. To my surprise, it was very affordable and I booked. After an 11 hour flight, I arrived in Cairo and was met right on time and in the correct place by Hani. He whisked me and my luggage to the private van and we were off to see the pyramids and sphinx. I must say that the level of knowledge Hani posesses is amazing. He is able to tell you as much as you want to know about anything in Cairo and will customize the detail to your liking. Next stop was the Nile river and Egyptian museum and then I asked to be taken to Tahrir Square, which happened to be hosting protests that day. He was happy to oblige and explained details of the revolution that only an Egyptian would know. He bought me more drinks and juices than I could handle and even paid for my dinner (authentic Egyptian falafel). We went to the market and bought some cool souvenirs – he knew the places that would be open on a Sunday and the best prices. We rested at an old and authentic cafe tea/hookah bar. The final touch was at the airport where he personally walked me to the gate (after clarifying with the Info Desk) and made sure I got through security. I could not recommend Hani high enough. 5+++ stars for sure. I learned so much, saw everything possible, and made the best of my short time in Cairo.
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
