- 953jaykumarj0 contributionsA great visit to the pyramidsWe enjoyed our trip from the Ritz Carlton to the Giza Pyramid complex with our guide, Hoda in December. The guide and van arrived on time at the hotel at 8am, and Hoda gave us a lot of information about Egypt, the pyramids, how they were built, helped us with tickets to enter the Great Pyramid. The van stayed on site the whole time, so I was able to rest my legs, while the younger members of my family walked around the pyramid complex. We finished out tour with some souvenier shopping with Hoda pointing out items that were actually made in Egypt, and we then all enjoyed a lunch of koshary at a local restaurant. After lunch our driver dropped us off at the hotel and we highly recommend Twitter Egypt Travel. We also used Twitter Egypt Travel's airport meet and greet service upon arrival to help us with immigration and customs, and also for a ride back to the airport at the end of our stay.Written January 23, 2025

This was our second outing with Dina and this company. Our trip to the NMEC was very thorough and we appreciated Diana's patience in answering all our questions and really giving us the time to examine all the exhibits. She gave us an overview of the hall of mummies since no guiding is allowed there and waited as we leisurely worked our way through. We wrapped up this part of the tour with a photo op at the beautiful lake. Next up was the Coptic area with the Hanging Church and the Cavern church. Dina is very knowledgeable and set the context well. This was a very relaxing area to walk through and seemingly out of the crowds. We appreciated the flexibility and professionalism of our guide and will use this company again!

Our tour guide, Hoda, was incredibly knowledgeable, outgoing and friendly. Her language skills were extremely good and she explained highlights of the tours in very interesting way.. She was very attentive to our needs and requests, adjusting to fit our plan the best way possible.
Our driver was Mario who drove safely and delivered us wherever we needed to go quickly. On first day we adjusted order of places we were going to visit based on traffic and this way we could spend more time experiencing Cairo. Thanks!

The tour of Islamic Cairo is very interesting. Ibn Tulun and Muhammed Ali mosque are very interesting. I recommend also requesting to go see Al Azhar mosque as well, in order to see an actual functioning mosque that is in daily use.
Our tour guide Micheal was friendly and tried his best.

First of all, My husband and I love the hotel, We stayed at the Steigenburger Pyramids in Cairo. Isaac was our tour Coordinator and he was very efficient and got back to me as quickly as he could when it came to asking questions about certain things and then we met Dina she is a fantastic tour guide she is knowledgeable, she is sweet, pleasant and patient She was always checking to make sure that we were happy with everything. She and Mario (our driver) were great and on time and we love them both!❤

This company organized a private tour for us at the last minute when another operator couldn't provide our tour as planned. They took us to the places we wanted to go, and the owner even showed up at the last stop to ensure we were satisfied with the tour. We had used them for a VIP Meet & Assist at the airport (recommended!), so I had their contact info and they worked hard to get us a guide within an hour, which was much appreciated.

This was the perfect day in Cairo! Our guide, Hany was awesome. He is so knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. He took us to several historically important mosques, the Citadel, the Gayer Anderson Museum, and the endlessly fascinating Khan el-Khalili market. We also had our first taste of delicious koshary outside the market. We finished up our long, amazing day with coffee/tea at the famous El Feshawi coffeehouse in the market. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed Islamic Cairo tour the most. It was casual, but very informative. You get the real vibe of old Cairo, yet you also get a taste of the present day Cairo esp. at Al Moez St (my favorite). Don’t forget to get a taste of all the street food in Al Moez St.
