To get a quote for an Egypt day tour, send the date, the number of people, your hotel, the tour you want, the language you need and any special needs. Use the form on the tour page, the contact page, WhatsApp or phone. The reply, within an hour at most, gives the price for that date and the plan for the day. Nothing is paid with the request.
The six things to send
Egypt Day Tours (egyptdaytours.net), a site dedicated to day tours in Egypt, asks for three things on its forms: the date, the number of people and your contact details. The other items in the table below are not required, but each one saves a round of messages.
| Send this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The date | The price is quoted for that date. If you can move by a day, say so in the same message. |
| The number of people | Prices are per person, for 2 or more people, so the group size shapes the quote. |
| Your hotel, with its area | Every tour starts and ends at your hotel, except the Cairo layover tour, which starts and ends at Cairo airport. The pickup time is planned from your hotel and confirmed when you book, because traffic and the hotel's location change it. |
| The tour, or the sites you want | Name the tour from its page, for example Pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara, or write the city and the two or three sites you most want to see. |
| Your language | Tour pages list an English-speaking Egyptologist, or an English-speaking guide or tour leader. A guide on its own can be booked in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French or Italian: see the guide-only booking in Cairo. If you need another language than English on a full tour, say so in your first message. |
| Special needs | Stairs you cannot manage, young children, a food allergy for lunch, a stop you would like to skip. A stop can be skipped or the order changed where the tour allows it: ask before booking and you are told what is possible. |
What the reply contains
The reply gives two things: the price for your date and the plan for the day. The plan is the same kind of day you see on the tour page, stop by stop and hotel to hotel, with the drive time to each stop measured without traffic and what is included and not included. Read how Egypt day tour prices work on this site for why a tour page may show a "from" price, an approximate price or "on request" before you ask.
