EXCELLENT Based on 451 reviews Posted on Dreamer24089257191Verified Great shopping experience Hussein was so nice and patient as we went round all the stops. He never rushed me and even bought me snacks alomg the way. Thank you to Sofy Egypt for being so understanding about my plans and to Hussein as well.Posted on marconicolaVerified visit with excellent guide Visit to the GEM very interesting, accompanied by a very competent guide who told us the secrets of ancient Egypt and accompanied us to the most interesting points of the museum.Posted on Paolo da GenovaVerified Fantastic day in Cairo A fantastic day to discover the truest Cairo, off the usual tourist routes with the excellent guide Yasser Khallaf, competent, helpful and friendly, introduced us to wonderful and unexpected corners. Absolutely recommendedPosted on 74alle74Verified Let us accompany you!! My advice is to visit the museum with a guide, as it is really big and turn it around randomly does not make much sense. We had the well-prepared Yasser called Felice from Sofy tours who guided us in the most representative areas without wasting our time, explaining the story in detail and leaving us at the end time to take pictures. He is very cheerful and nice but at the same time cultured and professional, he also introduced us to local experiences not provided for in the program. Top!Posted on Samantha SVerified Cairo Pyramids Gem Our guide Giustino explained everything to us exhaustively. It's a serious and helpful guidePosted on Luisa MVerified 🤩 Short but intense visit. The GEM is a must-see show! He deserves the trip alone! Assisted by a guide is certainly more appreciable.Posted on Elijah GVerified Amazing experience! The whole crew was amazing. We sang. We drank tea. We learned about the Nile. The crew was helpful with pictures and told us about Egyptian history.Posted on Leelakanti RVerified Cairo They did an awesome tour for us. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. They shared lots of information. They were also very friendly and helpful. I was travelling with my mother and they took very good care of us. We had a driver by the name of Ahmed. He was simply amazing. The 2 days with him was so fun. They are all so down to earth. They love their job and are amazing at it.Posted on HotelDiana39Verified Recommend Well organized, the guide Leyla is very professional and prepared, she guided us perfectly among the historical beauties of Cairo. We woudl book it againPosted on kumarkmitraVerified A Day well spent in Giza covering the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. We had a fabulous day as we spent the first half of the day visiting the Pyramids & the Sphinx. Our guide Adel was very nice, and he explained the history of the Pyramids very well. Our second part of the day was in the Grand Egyptian Museum which again was awesome. Unfortunately, we ran out of time. The choice of lunch and 2 other local attractions we visited on the recommendation of Adel was also very interesting. I would say it was thoughtful of him to take us there. Our guide also took good pictures of all of us.Would recommend Sofy Tours to others. Knowledgeable guides who are well behaved and well informed.Showing our latest reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Fantastica vacanza a Il Cairo, resa molto proficua dalla scelta delle attrazioni e dalla guida Giustino... senza non sarebbe stato lo stesso!Posted on Nihal AbedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend Sofy Egypt Tours for everyone travelling to Egypt. High quality tours and staff. We booked their fayoum all inclusive day tour and it was the best thing we did in Egypt. The sandboarding, the 4x4 safari, magic lake, whale fossils and lunch were all amazing. We even needed to make some changes to our itinerary and Sofy Egypt tours were so flexible and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had the pleasure of having Hany and Ahmed on our tour. They made the trip so fun and enjoyable. My kids will never forget this wonderful experience. Thank you so much.Posted on Jorge VillasmilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family booked a private tour in Cairo with Sofy Egypt Tour, and it was a great decision. The entire day ran smoothly and was very well planned. Our guide Abdul was outstanding—professional, informative, and very personable. He shared fascinating details about Egypt’s history and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The driver was fantastic as well, navigating Cairo confidently and keeping us safe at all times. We felt well taken care of and truly enjoyed the experience. We would happily recommend Sofy Egypt Tour to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality tour in Cairo.Posted on Aimee WelshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tour company went out of their way to schedule us a last-minute half-day tour of the grand Egyptian museum with lunch at a restaurant with a great view of the pyramids. this made our unexpected 10 hour layover, very enjoyable and productive. Our guide Abdul was extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history, and was enthusiastic and fun. He took us to all the important artifacts in the grand Museum so we could make the best use of our limited time and energy. Our driver Ahmed was thoughtful and got a safe flight around a very busy Cairo.Posted on Valarie KuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
