I found Egypt Best Day Tours through this site. Nermin Magdy is the woman behind the company and she is just the best. I communicated with her via email and WhatsApp, she responds promptly and will help with any wish you have while visiting Egypt. Her reach is not just Cairo and the immediate surroundings, she has agents all over!
I had things in mind that I wanted to do and Nermin arranged them all including finding me a really good horse to ride over the desert, as I did not fancy one of the more down trodden animals that are easily found by the pyramids. She arranged an excellent driver Hossam, which is essential as I would not advise driving in Cairo at least until you are used to the fact that there are no rules and it is every driver for himself!
Nermin arranged my flight to luxor for a day trip and my tour guide for the trip. She paid for this in advance and sent me the ticket without asking me for the money ahead of the booking. I settled up with her for everything during the time I was there.
Nermin is very knowlegable about her subject and so was the guide she arranged in Luxor. Her English is good and it is a great advantage to have someone with you who speaks Arabic.
This was a dream trip for me and I am sure it would not have been as enjoyable if it were not for Nermin and her team. Cannot recommend highly enough.
That was my best 4 day tours with a very good lady like you .. Thank you so much! 😍
We had been looking for the best Egypt packages through various sites and tour agent for a few weeks. Before I go ahead let me introduce the people who made the tour very special and a wonderful experience.
Nermin Magdy - The tour organizer
Yaseer - Our Egyptologist for Cairo
Elia - Our companion during the Nile Cruise
We came across Nermin via website and our conversation started on Whatsapp. She provided me the detailed itinerary and suggested places to visit. I asked the cost of the package and how much do I need to pay advance. Obviously I was worried since we did not meet in person. But to my surprise she told he we can pay after the tour is over. Everything was perfectly planned and executed right from our touchdown in Cairo till our flight back home. She even arranged the Hot Air Balloon ride in Luxor as an anniversary gift and it was just awesome.
Yaseer is the ideal person to accompany you if you want to learn about Egypt. He has so much knowledge and is very keen to expain things interesting. He was with us on all the sight seeing in Cairo and our trip to Alexandria. We got to know that he is pursuing docterate in Egyptian history and we wish him good luck for it.
The Nile cruise was an amazing experience. Elia was with us during the entire sight seeing. He is like a cool professor who would explain us about the place and then leave us free to explore and take pictures to heart content. This was his 395th Nile cruise and he knew everyone around.
The vehicles used for tours and transfers were comfortable and the drivers were very good.
Before going to Egypt we were a bit skeptical but it is as safe as anywhere in the world.
Lastly, we would like to thank Nermin, Yaseer and Elia for making this a memorable trip and wish good luck for their future endeavours.
I would recommend Egypt Best Day Tours.
Thank you so much Mr / Jay ! ☺
Nermin was responsible for arranging our entire stay in Cario right from pick up at the airport to drop back. We felt really comfortable in the City despite our first visit to the Country. She delivered more than she had promised. The vehicle, driver, and most specially Br. Yousef (our tour Guide). Her pricing was very competitive and she did not compromise on the quality of service.
Thank you so much Mr / Adeel !
This was a trip of a lifetime! I've wanted to visit the continent for years however I was concerned with the political instability AND Western notions of Muslim nations kept me from visiting. I am very happy to say my major concerns were unwarranted. Nermin sensed my uneasiness and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Her partner Hasaam, the driver was equally funny and helpful and he had a great air conditioned Hyundai car for the whole trip. I stupidly didn't bring my camera charger and he drove around Giza to find a shop for me! PPL BRING your CHARGERS!!!! I obviously didn't look like a local and got a lot of stares but no one bothered me much. They have a huge bartering society and I was able to get wonderful prices on my Egyptian jewellery and a beautiful red leather bag because Nermin negotiated on my behalf. She was checking things on her phone quite a bit but she is running a business and whenever I asked a question she was very quick to answer. She stores an unbelievable amount of knowledge about Egyptian history in her head - quite remarkable! I rode a camel in the Sahara dessert, walked on the banks of the Nile, visited the pyramids and the Sphinx - what more do you need?! Highly recommend Egypt Best Day Tours! Check out my channel @curlyKeish on YouTube for my Egypt trip videos. Enjoy!
Thank you so much Mss. Keisha ! ☺
We were a family of three people wanting to tour Egypt extensively and did not want to do a standard group tour. Our tour was for 12 days from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan. I contacted this tour operator through tourist link and the prompt response from the owner Nermin Magdy impressed me. In minutes I received a suggested itenary and then there was no looking back. The planning of the sightseeing, internal flights and hotels all was done by this agency. The guides provided were a store house of information on Egypt, Egyptologists truly. I was not interested in the regular Cruise tours so a road and air travel itenary was planned for us specifically. A tip here is that if you dont do a cruise you can include Dandara sightseeing also. A faluka ride for an hour was planned to get a feel of the Nile River. I highly recommend this tour operator for groups, cruise or non-cruise travel, custom holiday palnning.
Thank you so much ma'am ! ☺
After I had read about the various places and had clear ideas of the trip, I had interacted with half a dozen tour operators to help plan our first trip to see ancient Egypt. The responses were either as “canned” tours which included places, activities and transportation in which we had no interest or with threadbare information. By chance, I contacted Nermin Magdy, owner of Egypt Best Day Tours with my request.
Nermin responded with lightning speed with an itinerary without missing the required details. With email and Whatapp messages she recommended the places we should visit, altered the itinerary several times to suit our requirements, handled our flight reservations, accommodation bookings and the road travel for our 12-day trip, all at reasonable cost. She had arranged for us to be met as we got off the plane and our baggage cleared in quick time. Though we landed in Cairo at a very early hour, she welcomed us enthusiastically at the airport in person and took care of us till she saw us off at Cairo for our flight home. She and her company receive all 5 star reviews they richly deserve. Professionally, Nermin is a very gentle, friendly young lady, communicates in fluent English, completely honest in dealing with her guests, has immense knowledge about her country and has great connections and familiarity with the officials and personnel at the tourist sites which takes the stress out of travel and makes it appear seamless. She also took the initiative of upgrading our hotel in Luxor at the same rates to offer a memorable hospitality experience.
She is also a wonderful person and we could connect with her immediately. She offered expert advice on vegetarian food and was a wonderful host, treating us to a super home cooked meal that we enjoyed at her residence. Unlike other tour agencies she personally helped us navigate the labyrinth of Khan el Khalili market, advising on what to avoid and even bargaining local style for us to get great deals. She should write a book for her guests titled “Bargaining for Dummies”.
Youssef Ahmed was the guide appointed by Nermin for our visits in Cairo city, Giza, Alexandria, Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur. Eminently knowledgeable, fluent in English, he is a gregarious gentleman always ready to help with hotel staff, changing money, taking photos or getting rid of pesky hawkers and everything else in between. His legendary knowledge about the history, traditions, politics and civilization of ancient and modern Egypt was a learning process for us. Without his expertise, we would have been unable to appreciate the magnificent exhibits of the Egyptian Museum in such a short time. He introduced us to various establishments to buy quality Egyptian goods and mementoes advising and assisting in obtaining deals we expected. With him, I enjoyed an evening of coffee and football, in true local style.
Nermin had arranged for Elia to be our guide for our visits in Luxor, Valley of Kings, Deir al-Bahri, Dendera, Abydos, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan and Abu Simbel. Elia is a walking encyclopaedia on all the attractions of these locations. He revealed a depth of knowledge in excellent English that left no question relating to Egyptology unanswered. Elia has a quiet, reserved personality but was always concerned about our safety and ensured we got to experience the best his country has to offer. However, in Aswan at the end our time together, he showed us another remarkable ability by bargaining for our purchase of dates on our behalf.
We had a supremely safe, fascinating and enjoyable tour of exotic Egypt, as we were blessed with the help, kindness and expertise of these exceptional people who have become our good friends for life. To all of them I say Shukraan.
To those who wish to tour Egypt, I would recommend Nermin of Egypt Best Day Tours to ensure you come back home with a smile and incredibly happy memories.
Thank you so much Mr / Mayur ☺
