Genial - The best option to get to know the pyramids, the history and the most relevant points of Cairo. Our guide Amaal spoke Spanish perfectly and is perfectly qualified for her job. He explained everything great, left us free time to take pictures, I would recommend it safely to anyone who travels to Egypt and wants to know its history well.

Fabulous day out - Very long and dusty trip but well worth it. Our guide Fahme was amazing. Such a depth of knowledge and a brilliant sense of humour. Every stop was right on time and precise. Only time we waited was at the pyramids but that is to be expected. Fahme and driver were a superb team that looked after us all day

The best tour in Cairo!! Must do!!! - Wow wow wow, where to start. Mimo was an absolute legend today, his knowledge and hospitality are truly out of this world. I don't think you could find a better guide, truly! He knows where to go and when, he has inside knowledge on all these things because of his 20+ years experience. Adel, our driver for the day was absolutely great, he was incredibly friendly and a lovely man. If you don't do this trip when you're in Cairo, you are missing out!!!!!!

Unforgettable day between history and traditions - A special day in Cairo with Mimmo, our guide, and Adel, our driver! The pyramids left us speechless, and thanks to Mimmo we discovered many historical details that made the visit even more interesting. The camel ride is also exciting. We then explored a perfumery, papyrus workshop, spice shop and local shop, discovering traditions and crafts. Before the Egyptian Museum, we immersed ourselves in the atmosphere of the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, a must-see. The museum was engaging, and Mimmo was an outstanding guide. Delicious final lunch. An experience we will not forget!

Complete and well organized cultural experience! - We spent an extraordinary day thanks to our driver Adel and guide Mimmo, who welcomed us punctually to our hotel. The tour was well structured: we visited the majestic pyramids, the Sphinx and enjoyed a camel ride with spectacular views. During the visit, Mimmo told us with great passion and competence the history of the pyramids, making the experience even more fascinating. Afterwards, we immersed ourselves in local culture with stops at the perfumery, papyrus workshop and gift shop, all authentic experiences. Before heading to the Egyptian Museum, we also took a tour of the bustling Khan el-Khalili bazaar, a true explosion of colors and traditions. The Egyptian Museum was the highlight, thanks to Mimmo’s detailed and engaging explanations. We concluded with a typical lunch of kofta, really delicious. A complete, engaging and perfectly organized tour!

A day at the pace - Incredible places to visit, but disappointments in the way to do it. Sold as a private tour but surprised on D-Day, we are with another family. Our guide (shawky) takes his time for his coffee breaks, but not really to explain, we follow in a hurry. I believe that an experience like this deserves a passionate guide who wants to pass on and we have not had the chance to come across this type of guide.
