Rasha is a great guide! - Rasha was great! We booked our entire Egypt tour through her agency and it was great! Although she only accompanied us in Cairo, the other guides she arranged for Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria were super knowledgeable as well. Highly recommend touring with Rasha, her English is perfect and she’s extremely knowledgeable about ancient and modern Egypt!

World class tour - Egypt is one of our top travel destinations. We have traveled to every continent. Rasha made the Egypt tour enlightening and memorable. We especially appreciated that the tour was tailored to our specific interests and the interests of our grandchildren. The itinerary was jam packed, yet there was no information overload. Rasha was the very best tour guide among the many places we have visited across the globe. She is clearly a world class guide.

Book this your - it is exceptional! - We have travelled quite a bit and had many tours…. This was by far the best. We spent 4 days on private tour with Cherif & Heny in Cairo. The communication for the booking and throughout the 4 days was exceptional. The air conditioned cars were fantastic and the drivers were very friendly and helpful. Cherif was the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge was astounding, he was great at getting the information across in a way that was interesting for us and our 2 kids (10 years and 8 years). Cherif took us to the best sites, museums, pyramids, bazaars, Christian areas, mosques and restaurants. We felt safe and enjoyed our whole trip thanks to Cherif and his team. I strongly recommend group or private tours with the Egypt tour specialists. We will certainly be back in the coming years to check out other parts of Egypt + Jordan and we will do this as a private tour with Cherif and his team.

Farm activities plus basket weaving - We visited a farm in Dahshour. One of the farmers met us and showed us the lettuces and vegetables in the field. They served us roasted sweet potatoes and herbal tea. Everything was very delicious. We also watched two women weave baskets from the reeds that grow by the water canals. That was enjoyable! As we were leaving the farm, we could see some pyramids in the distance, one being the Bent pyramid.

experience of a lifetime - I dont know whether to rate Sherif an A+ or an A++? this was one of the most life changing experiences anyone can ever have. the fact that we had someone like Sherif taking us around only added to the experience. I dont think there was a more thorough, patient, friendlier guide out there. the service was top notch. The history that he spoke of and how passionate he was made it feel like we made one of the best decisions ever. Sherif was always available day and night, he didn't mind repeating himself, and he was happy to talk about everything. I don't think you can come to Egypt without going through Sherif. When we come back to Egypt, we will definitely be going right back. I don't think you can pick a better guide.

Fabulous Tour - Excellent Tour Guide - Fabulous tours! A group of us were in Cairo for a wedding and did three days of amazing tours. The Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum, Churches, Mosque, lunch, and shopping. It was wonderful! Sherif was our guide. He was exceptionally knowledgeable with Egypt today, the history, culture,and, the religions. He brought in humor ex: Egyptian driving. The bus driver had water and hand sanitizers, there was a photographer, a clean bus. I would highly recommend The Egypt Tour Specialist!

Amazing tour and wonderful tour guide - We have had the best tour ever. I was in Egypt with my fiancé, and Semsem took care of us from the moment we arrived to the airport until we took our flight back to Hurghada where we stayed the rest of our holiday. Semsem is extremely knowledgeable about the Egyptian history and culture. He explains everything in an easy fun language that made us enjoy listening to his speeches and learn a lot. Thank you for such an amazing tour. We will definitely recommend your tours to all our friends.

Fantastic tour guide - “Sem Sem,” as he is fondly known to his tourist friends, is an excellent tour guide. I have traveled many countries in the world and met many tour guides but no one else has been more memorable than this man. He is kind, knowledgeable, and funny. I would go on any of his tours again in a heartbeat. On top of it all, he is a gem of a person and one that you will not forget soon. Highly recommend to everyone.
