You can see many wonderful views. I participated alone, but the driver, Emat, was very kind and took many pictures for me. It was a great help. It was a polite tour.

Today, we went to the Giza area and visited the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the beautiful museum that is considered the origin of Egyptian civilization, containing all the models and artifacts before they went to the Grand Egyptian Museum, guided by one of the most important guides in Egypt, Ezzaldin Rashdan. I highly recommend this man; he showed us everything and explained it to us in the finest details. Thank you so much, Ezzaldin Rashdan, and thank you for showing us Khan El Khalili too. This bazaar dates back 100, no, 1000 years. Thank you so much, and thank you for representing Egypt; you are an ambassador for Egypt. Thank you, Tripco and thank you for the beautiful service today

The driver and tour guide we encountered on our day trip to Alexandria were both excellent. The driver was very patient and waited for us at the hotel in the morning. He also proactively pointed out rest stops and convenience stores along the way where we could rest and buy water. He was always smiling and had a great attitude. The tour guide, Mig, spoke very fluent English, had a wealth of professional knowledge, and provided very professional explanations. He was able to answer questions well. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend it!

Experience: We are Taiwanese, and this was our first time booking a private felucca dinner tour in Egypt through this platform. Overall, it was pretty good. The driver who picked us up was very funny. Knowing that we were Taiwanese, he specifically played the national anthem and Taiwanese songs along the way. Later, we found out that he was also a part-time tour guide, accompanying us on the felucca and then taking us back to the hotel after the tour. He helped us take photos and chatted with us a little. But it really gets cold at night, and the food got cold, too. It's worth experiencing once. We tipped the captain and the local guide with a 4:6 split.

Esraa was such a lovely tour guide that took us around Cairo for 2 days! She is extremely insightful and constantly made us feel safe throughout the tour. She even suggested alternative locations and optimized really helped us maximize our time in Cairo. (She is also a really good photographer!) Emiel our driver was also extremely nice, being very punctual and driving extremely safe throughout. 10/10 would book again & recommend to friends 👍

The food was delicious and the dance performance was very impressive! The driver was also very attentive and played my favorite music in the car. It was a great memory.
