Hishek was excellent! - We had an incredible day with our guide Hishek who was energetic, informative, funny and knew his stuff and our driver Islam was just as great. We booked last minute but the company was quick in getting back to us and everything ran smoothly and on time. We got to see so much in one day and we loved the wild quad bike safari! Hishek couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome in Cairo 😄 10/10 recommend

Great Tour! - Great experience! It was a private tour with just my brother and I and the tour guide. Our driver was great, he picked us up right in front of our hotel and expertly navigated us through Cairo and Giza. Our tour guide, Abeer, was incredible. Very helpful and informative as well as friendly and fun to hang out with. The whole experience was very smooth. It went from about sun up to sun down so it was a very full day of activities. We got to see and walk around the outside of the pyramids and the panoramic viewpoint which were incredible. We also bought Egyptian scarfs that helped keep the sun off when doing our camel ride. We were able to also go inside the largest pyramid as well as the step pyramid in Saqqara. It was bit tight and claustrophobic at times but was totally worth it. We stopped at a few extra places where we were able to shop and learn more about the culture without any pressure to buy anything. Overall it was a great day. We learned a lot and saw incredible sights.

Great Tour with Anna and Ahmed - We had a very good experience on this tour. Anna was an excellent guide, very informative and always ready to answer all our questions. Ahmed was a great driver, we felt safe and everything was very efficient. We had enough time to see all the places without feeling rushed. Both Anna and Ahmed were really helpful and made the day very enjoyable.

Mariam is a great guide! - Maria was great guide on our tour in Cairo. She guided us to see the pyramids and sphinx in Giza and then to see the Egyptian museum in Cairo. She balanced the history details well with giving us free time to explore the spaces on our own. She also went above and beyond to help us work out scheduling issues with our tour to help us come to a resolution. She was excellent!

Magic - We had a great day with our French-speaking guide Brahim. He explained in detail all about the pyramids and the different stages of the tour. Thank you for this moment of teaching and magic we lived.

Cairo tour - We had a great time in Cairo with our guide Mazen he has a full knowledge of the history and make us feel safe and welcome, he answered any question we had and guide us thru the city not to mention amazing picture he took of us, unfortunately our experience in the Nile cruse stopping on Aswan was not placent the hotel was in a very far rural area and the driver who pick us up from airport doesn’t speak English and drop of us on the middle of the row at midnight and two kids about 10 years old pick us up and take us to the hotel without a restaurant near by or nothing to eat ! The communications with the agent was very bad they don’t answered on time and give the next day schedule the day before around 10 or 11 pm not recommend the company but lucky Mazen help you a a lot when they don’t answer and make us feel safe other ways I will be so scare to even be in Egypt !!
