July 9, 2026Nuestra familia hizo esta excursión y hasta los niños estuvieron atentos todo el tiempo. Por lo que pagamos, la relación calidad-precio es excelente. Nuestro guía hablaba un inglés excelente y explicaba la historia sin abrumarnos. Bien organizado de principio a fin.

May 22, 2026Nous avons comparé plusieurs agences avant de choisir cette excursion et nous ne le regrettons pas. Le déjeuner était copieux, préparé sur le moment, et nos demandes ont été prises en compte sans problème. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Une journée dont nous parlerons longtemps.

May 13, 2026I travelled solo on the Best of Cairo with the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and never once felt out of place or rushed. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. The whole team were warm and welcoming and nothing ever felt like a hard sell. Well organised from start to finish.

April 16, 2026Wir haben mehrere Anbieter verglichen und uns für diesen Ausflug entschieden, absolut richtig. Die Abholung war pünktlich auf die Minute und der Fahrer fuhr ruhig und sicher. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den großen Gruppen an den Sehenswürdigkeiten waren. Von Anfang bis Ende gut organisiert.

March 24, 2026We compared a few operators before choosing the Best of Cairo with the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and have no regrets at all. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. I would book it again without hesitating.

February 8, 2026I did the Best of Cairo with the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization with my wife and we are both really glad we picked this one. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. Highly recommended, especially if your time in Egypt is short.

December 2, 2025Viajé sola en esta excursión y en ningún momento me sentí fuera de lugar. Los paisajes y los templos impresionan aún más que en las fotos. La comida era abundante, recién preparada, y atendieron nuestras peticiones sin problema. Lo volvería a reservar sin dudarlo.
Vincent Weber
December 1, 2025Cette excursion était simple à réserver et encore mieux sur place que dans la description. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes. Vivement recommandé, surtout si vous avez peu de temps en Égypte.

October 28, 2025Ta wycieczka łatwo się rezerwuje, a na miejscu było jeszcze lepiej niż w opisie. W stosunku do ceny to bardzo dobra wartość. Samochód był czysty, klimatyzowany i wygodny nawet na dłuższych odcinkach. Bardzo polecam, zwłaszcza jeśli macie mało czasu w Egipcie.

October 11, 2025Porovnali jsme několik agentur, než jsme vybrali tento výlet, a nelitujeme. Celý tým byl vřelý a pozorný, bez jakéhokoli tlaku na nákupy. Auto bylo čisté, klimatizované a pohodlné i na delších úsecích. Bez váhání bych to rezervoval znovu.
