Our driver Osama was very sweet, kind, and accommodating to our itinerary, taking us all the way from downtown Cairo to First Sixth of October back through Giza and downtown out to New Cairo and lastly back to our hotel. He also pointed out landmarks along the way, offered tips at certain destinations, and helped coordinate with locals when all we had wanted was a quick photo. All compliments to him!
Disappointingly, we’re knocking off a couple stars because we did find the marketing for this service ultimately misleading, as the photos advertised are not representative of the sedan that Osama was given to drive us around in. The listing here on Viator says you’ll pay for “Best and New Cars” and it shows photos that give the impression that the car will be a spacious crossover or a midsize sedan-type vehicle in that new condition promised. Instead, our car for the day was indistinguishable from small Ubers we’ve used elsewhere in the city: It was a small BYD sedan with scratches and dents all across the body and stickers and scratched tint across the windows. It didn’t at all match the standard we had expected for our money’s worth — nor did it match the comfort we anticipated, with both my husband and I being 6ft tall and requiring a more modern-sized sedan.
Nevertheless, the little BYD did get the job done -- and as we said, Osama was wonderful to have with us for the day. Just be mindful of what you’re paying for when you book… If the type of sedan truly matters to you, you’d best look elsewhere or just Uber to ensure the best use of your money.
