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 a guide. I was travelling with my husband and 12-year-old daughter.
Our guide was Ahmed, and he was excellent. Being a Friday in Egypt was good, as it is a holiday and less traffic. They took us on a tour of old Cairo, and we stopped for a falafel, which was excellent.
Then to the Pyramids, which open at 0730, was a good thing too, as it was very warm by 0900. Ahmed took pictures of us and gave us a really great tour.
We went to the Bazaar right there for a few little gifts, postcards, and we were on our way. We stopped at the PHARAONIC PAPYRUS MUSEUM on the way back and bought a small picture after learning about the paper.
At about 10 AM, we were done; the heat and an overnight flight wore heavily on my daughter and husband.
I highly recommend this tour group and Ahmed; they were quick at answering my husband’s questions, and the tour ran smoothly. We also had no issues at the airport or while travelling.
