Excellent Tour Company

I am from Hawaii, United States. I booked with the "Travel Connection Tours" for an epic travel experience in Egypt. We enjoyed our first two nights at a 5 Star hotel in Cairo, had dinner & entertainment on a Nile River boat, then caught our flight from Cairo to Aswan where we visited the Philae Temple & High Dam. We proceeded to visit Ombo Temple at night. The tour guides were outstanding, all speaking good English and picking us up for our tours timely. The next leg of our tour had us on the river boat for three days visiting Temple Sobek and Edfu Temple. The next day had us visiting the West Bank, Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon then on to the wonderful Luxor Temple. We then caught our flight back to Cairo checking into the Best View Pyramid Hotel and enjoying the tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. It is important to note that we stayed at the Best View Pyramid Hotel and booked all tours and sightseeing through the Travel Connection Tours. We had a great time and highly recommend availing of both the Best View Pyramid Hotel and booking through the Travel Connection Tours. Thank you to both the hotel and travel company.

Response from the operator: welcome any time :)

Old Coptic Cairo tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Old Coptic Cairo tour cost?

+

Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Old Coptic Cairo tour take?

+

Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.

Is Old Coptic Cairo tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Old Coptic Cairo tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Old Coptic Cairo tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Old Coptic Cairo tour?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Old Coptic Cairo tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cairo?

+

On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cairo?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cairo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
