10/10 recommend, beautiful tour - I highly recommend this tour! Best value out of all the tours I researched, My guide called Shady who was also an Egyptologist was very knowledgeable and took great care of me! You can see he loves his work and he will not try to bring you to buy things like what can happen on some tours! He did give me the option and there was absolutely no pressure which was refreshing! Lunch was delicious in a very famous Egyptian restaurant and the boat ride was lovely! As a solo female or even travelling with kids I highly recommend this, you will be in good hands

A rich visit, with a guide with little care in addition to being passionate about its subject. - A day full of discoveries and explanations with Shady, which is a book of knowledge in itself. Passionate and erudite about the history of Egypt, he gave us many explanations. In addition it has adapted to our needs to perfection. It is a visit to save considerable time and to have the information necessary to understand the history of the Egyptian people. The meal was also a delight in a renowned place.I recommend!

Guide ten of ten - Ali was our guide on this tour, an exceptional person, very attentive and nice. Always concerned with all our needs, questions, demonstrating knowledge during the tour. He was able to convey the information in a clear and interesting way, always showing the depth and breaking paradigms about Egyptian culture. It made translations and went beyond what we expected .
The tour was well organized and the rhythm was perfect. We had time to take pictures and enjoy every moment.
We thank Ali for providing these unforgettable moments. If we had another chance we would definitely like Ali to be our guide. Thank you Ali!!!!!!!!

Passionated and attentive Tour Guide in Cairo - We had a great time with our guide Shady Hamdy, hé really loves his guide tour job and is passionated, he took thé time to explain and réspond to all our questions. What i can say about him is that Shady is à person who will really look into make your day thé Best Day, hé is very attentive and want you feel good. Hé will ask you if you are ok and will adapt thé Day if you are tired, cold, thursty or want to go to the toilets.

I will finish saying that Shady is a very Nice person and will take good care of you until you are back safe to your hôtel. Thank you Shady, wish you all thé Best!
