Tour of a lifetime - We were met by our tour guide Manar Abdelrhman in the hotel and she made it easy for us from start to finish. She is very knowledgeable, accomodating, polite and has a beautiful smiling face too . Together with the driver Kazefi, who is equally patient and also full of Egyptian stories. We highly recommend Manar and Kazefi if you are intending to do a tour in Cairo. Thanks to you for such a memorable experience!

Great experience! - We did a two day tour as part of a big group of family and friends during a trip for a wedding. The first day was a trip to Giza to see the pyramids, ride camels, and see the sphinx, the second day was the Coptic and Islamic Cairo tour as well as the civilization museum. We had Heba and Sabry as our tour guides both days and they were fantastic! So knowledgeable of Egypt’s rich history! The busses we rode were nice and air conditione , the seats were comfy. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone visiting Cairo

Amazing tour with Manar - What an amazing tour we just had with Manar. Her storytelling style is so fun and intriguing it kept us engaged the whole time. Not only was she an amazing storyteller, she also made sure we were not harassed by any street vendors and made our time with her completely stress free. Thank you Manar for taking such great care of us.
