Has nothing to do with Pompey.

5 Days of Cairo = 5 Stars
Honestly? Worth every penny. Smooth logistics, amazing guides, comfy hotels, and a good mix of education and entertainment. I especially appreciated the tips our guide gave us for respectful dress and local etiquette. It felt immersive but never overwhelming. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Best Birthday Gift to Myself Ever
I booked this trip for my 30th birthday and it was the best decision. The tour company even surprised me with a birthday dessert at dinner! We saw the Sphinx, visited the Egyptian Museum, and danced during a Nile night cruise. I felt special, safe, and totally in awe.

Beyond the Guidebooks
You can Google Cairo all you want, but nothing compares to actually being there. Smelling the spices, feeling the desert breeze, watching kids play soccer near a 1,000-year-old mosque. The tour felt intimate and human, not like a checklist. It changed how I see the world.

I Laughed, I Learned, I Took a Camel Selfie
Let’s be honest — I came for the Instagram pics. But I left with way more. This tour was super fun, lighthearted, and so informative. I rode a camel, bargained at a bazaar (badly), and saw treasures that belong in every history book. My friends are still laughing at my pyramid selfie!
Tyler Cox –
Pyramids, Papyrus, and Poolside Lounging
I loved how this trip gave me the best of both worlds — action-packed mornings and chill evenings by the hotel pool. Our stay near the pyramids was amazing — they literally sparkled at sunset. And who knew I’d become obsessed with ancient Egyptian mythology? Horus and Anubis are my guys now.
Natalie Freeman –
Where Every Step Tells a Story
Whether you’re walking through the ancient ruins or standing under a thousand-year-old minaret, you feel the power of time. Our guide’s storytelling gave life to the stones. I left with a head full of knowledge and a heart full of admiration.

Cairo, You Had Me at Day One
From the second we arrived, everything was taken care of. Our airport pickup was smooth, hotel check-in fast, and then straight into adventure. The light show at the pyramids gave me goosebumps! The local food tasting tour? Game changer. I now crave falafel every week.

The Perfect Intro to Egypt’s Wonders
I’d always dreamed of seeing the pyramids, but this itinerary made the whole trip deeper and more meaningful. We visited Old Cairo, learned about Coptic churches, and had time to relax each afternoon. Honestly, I never expected the trip to feel so balanced — sightseeing and sipping hibiscus tea!
Ryan Thompson –
Ancient Magic, Modern Comfort
The thing I didn’t expect? How easy Cairo could feel when done right. Modern air-conditioned van, luxury hotels with city views, and a guide who made 5,000 years of history feel like storytelling around a campfire. Add to that delicious food, kind people, and sunshine every day — it’s a winning combo.
Laura Bennett –
Five days felt like a movie — dramatic sunsets over the pyramids, the call to prayer echoing across the city, and the rich smells of spices from Khan El Khalili. Every moment was a sensory experience. The guide wasn’t just knowledgeable, he was passionate. Loved riding a felucca on the Nile with mint tea in hand — peace in motion.
Noah Walker –
This was my first time in Egypt, and I never felt out of place. The team was warm, our guide treated us like old friends, and every location felt accessible, even if you don’t know Arabic. I left Cairo with incredible memories and a soft spot for this ancient city.
Chloe Sanders –
Family Fun Meets Ancient History
I brought my two teens on this trip and they LOVED it. The camel ride, the light show at the pyramids, and the shopping at local markets kept them entertained. The guide even tailored parts of the tour to keep them engaged. Who knew history could be this fun?
Ethan McBride –
I Thought 5 Days Was Plenty. I Was Wrong.
This trip just keeps giving. We had guided tours in the morning, local street food lunches, and free evenings to explore. The schedule never felt rushed. The drivers were always punctual, and the hotels were genuinely five-star. I wish I had extended it to a full week — Egypt is too rich to squeeze in five days!
Hannah Price –
Perfect Balance Between Touring and Chilling
What impressed me most was how well this itinerary balanced action and downtime. We saw SO much — pyramids, mosques, churches — but also had time to relax at our hotel spa and enjoy the rooftop pool. Ideal for people like me who love adventure but also naps.
Jason King –
Five Days, Fifty Moments I’ll Never Forget
There’s something special about how this trip was planned — every hour felt intentional. Whether we were learning about ancient gods in the Egyptian Museum or walking through Old Cairo’s narrow streets, we felt immersed. Shout out to our guide Ahmed, who made history come alive with humor and fun facts.
Madeline Foster –
From the Desert to the Nile — What a Ride
We started with sand between our toes in the Sahara and ended with a Nile dinner cruise. It was a beautiful mix of desert adventure and elegant evenings. Riding a quad through sand dunes one day and sipping wine on a boat the next was the best kind of contrast. This tour really gave us the best of both worlds.

Culture, Cuisine, and Camels in One Epic Tour
If you’re into culture and food, this trip delivers. I still dream about the koshary and the views from Cairo Tower. Our guide even introduced us to a local café where we had mint tea with friendly locals. Five days felt like a deep dive into Egyptian life. The highlight? Sunset at the pyramids — absolutely breathtaking.
