Ahmed, our tour guide, and Mohammed our driver were lovely and friendly. It was a pleasure to take our private tour with them. Our days were busy but not over strenuous. Bottled water is provided in the car. The first day we did the Pyramids and Sphinx which were amazing. We were supposed to have lunch but didn't get food until around 5pm which by that time we were flagging. This could have been due to having to fine somewhere that offered gluten free. We declined the camel ride because I have ridden one before. There was a bit of moving the dinner cruise around from the last day after Alexandria to day 2 instead which I could totally understand as Alexandria is a long day but by doing this we were told that we wouldn't be able to see the bazaar or if we wanted to it would be an extra 20 dollars which we couldn't understand as on day 2 we spent an hour waiting to board the dinner cruise boat. Day two was so interesting to see downtown Cairo, the museum and Mosque. Ahmed was full of interesting stories and facts. The dinner cruise was very good including entertaining dancers. Day 3 we couldn't leave until later than we would have liked due to fog closing the roads. It is worth the drive to Alexandria and the car was comfortable with a pit stop on the way. Where we thought the traffic in Cairo was chaotic we soon realised that Alexandria was even worse. Mohammed was such a good driver to get us around to the different sites. It was another really interesting day. To sum it up this tour is really worth the money. We saw all of the main attractions. Ahmed is a fountain of knowledge about ancient Egypt and Mohammed's expert driving got us everywhere safely. Five stars

We had a wonderful experience with the Cairo tour. Misk Tours is one of the best tour operators in Egypt. When things did not go according to plan on the first day, they immediately stepped in to resolve the issue and provide us with free replacement options to compensate for the lost time. Also, Mr. Mohamed at Misk Tours followed up every day to ensure that we had a good experience. The guides Muhammed and Sally were knowledgeable and courteous. Would heartily recommend them for any future tour.

I cannot say enough good things about this 3-day tour. It was so perfect. Our driver picked us up on time every day and the communication was outstanding. We fit so much into the three days and learned a lot about Egyptian culture and history. Our guides (Asma in Cairo / Giza and Mohammed in Alexandria) were very knowledgeable and showed us the best parts of each site visited. We have multiple guides of other tours tell us how lucky we were to have her. And it is an incredible value. Pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to do everything we did for less than the cost of the tour. Would give it six stars if I could. Highly recommend it!!

Best 3 day private tour of Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. Our driver Mohammed farag was very good and hospitable. He was also very patient and a great company to hang out with. I would definitely recommend him as the driver to host and accompany you with all trust in Egypt. Thank you Mohammed farag, loved meeting you and hope to hire you again when we come back to revisit.

We didn't had much of time this year and wanted something which could cover main parts of Egypt in 3 days. This tour was perfect. It was well planned and made memorable with our tour guide Raniaa and driver Abdul Rehman. Raniaa was very professional, knowledgeable and gave us the correct information of Egyptian history and monuments. Abdul Rehman was sweet and caring. Both of them and the tour company Misk were punctual and communicated about everything well in advance. I would recommend this tour company to my fellow travellers without any hesitation.
