We travelled to Cairo on Friday, May 3, 2019, from Toronto. We landed at 0530 and were met by a representative of Fun Tours at the departure gate. We were only on a layover of 6 hours, and the tour company came with a private van, water, a driver, and
In April 2011, my husband and I, after great debate, took a trip to Egypt. Because of the political situation, we decided to book a tour for our time in Cairo and Luxor. We are very happy that we did, since these are two cities that should not be missed.
Last year (2010) my wife and I did a 20 day trip in Egypt, mostly Do-It-Yourself. However, one of the first things we did was a trip to Bahariya oasis and to the White Desert — not so easy to do yourself, so we needed an agency. After e-mail back-and-forths
Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID-19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a year of
We first went to Egypt in July 2010. We were to pass through Cairo on our way to Africa, and we had arranged to be picked up from the Cairo airport and shown around the city during our 6-hour layover. This was arranged through emails with Hamada, of Egypt Fun
My husband & I were very very happy with the walking tour we took with Egypt Fun on Nov 26. Our guide (Manal) was amazing & very very knowledgeable. Thanks to Manal, we were able to really get a very good understanding of the city, its history & its great
We have just returned from a two week holiday in Cape Town. On the way out our airline schedule meant that we had a 15 hour stop in Cairo. We decided to arrange a tour of the city and after asking for quotes/itineraries we chose Egypt Fun Tours. This worked
Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that we would feel more comfortable when being approached
I never had a more positive experience and educational time than this tours. Learning about a variety of kings and queens was amazing! The tour guide was super nice and helped me and my friend every step of the way! Including bargaining for a few souvenirs! I will never forget
Great trip organised. I had a 12-hour layover in Cairo and had a great time with Sherif, who answered every question I had on ancient Egypt. Highly recommend.
