Fun, educational and safe - Today was a perfect day that was organized and safe. Muhammad was well versed, kind and caring when it came to all the sites we saw. I would recommend this tourist group for all my friends coming to visit.
We also had an amazing driver, Nour, who kept us safe and was able to manage to crazy steers of Cairo and Giza.
I can’t wait for the next days adventures. 10 out of 10 recommend….

Amazing breathtaking experience! - Let’s begin…Muhammad (our guide) is the most welcoming and warm soul. His smile and kind spirit is infectious. He made us feel very comfortable and safe the entire day. It was as if we’ve known him for years. He has a wealth of knowledge and provided us with Egypt’s rich history. He took us places to shop away from all of the aggressive street vendors so we were much more at ease. A bonus about Muhammad is he is also a photographer so the pictures he took of us were on point!
Let’s talk about Nour (our driver). He’s quiet but friendly and his driving skills are great being that Egypt seems to have bad drivers. He kept us safe! Overall, this tour was a 15/10! We had an amazingggggg time!!!

A perfect day at the pyramids, sphinx, and museum - Today is was absolutely amazing, our guide Muhammad was extremely knowledgeable, a wiz with a camera, and fun to be around. I would definitely want him to be me, and any family that comes to Eygpt’s guide. This was by far the best part of my week long trip so far.

Very systematic planned trip - Our trip in Egypt was really one of a kind experience all because of one guy Mohammed from Cairo. He is the best guide from Jakada tours. Mostly all our flights were late night but he made sure we were always comfortable and safe everywhere. He is not only kind but also has a deep knowledge of all the places we visited as he has a degree in Egyptian history and Egyptology. Also he made sure all our timings were flexible and according to our comfort. Mohammed and Sayed ( the guy who drove us around) are the best pair and we would really want to visit again with them.

Amazing Egypt with Jakada! - My husband and i chose Jakada private tours to visit Egypt for the first time. What a beautiful experience! I give credit to Jakada Tours for the wonderful time. The owner Ahmed Fayed was quick in responding to questions.
Mohamed Haytam was our tour guide and Sayed our driver during our two day stay in Cairo. Both are very efficient in coordinating everything from airport pickup to our airport drop off to continue our tour to Luxor and Aswan. We felt very safe traveling with them and they were both very helpful and sweet. Mohamed is very easy to communicate young man who is my daughter’s age and Sayed is such a sweet man with a smile on his face all the time. They are a perfect team!
We are almost at the end of our tour in Egypt and so far it has been a seamless team work by Jakada tours.
If i would have to make any recommendation to Jakada tours, it would be to check the pulse of the tour party and extend the day some more if they have the energy to see more. Many might be okay with 9am to 3pm day but some enthusiastic travelers might want to spend more time (for may be an extra fee) exploring this beautiful land!

Excellent service, reliable, helpful, good value - Guides (Mohamed and Azab) and drivers were excellent. Everything ran smoothly,good standard of accommodation and catering. Comms prior once trip could have been better about payment, itinerary. Did not know that we had v early morning flight Hurghada to Cairo- a later flight would have been better. Overall very happy to recommend this operator. They are reliable and offer good value for money and a high level of service in country.

Great layover tour in Cairo - We went on a private layover tour. It was about eight hours long and included pick-up and drop-off from the airport. Our tour guide, Mohamed, was incredible, knowledgeable, and had top-notch photography skills. Our driver was also absolutely fantastic. The tour covered all the main attractions we wanted to see. I highly recommend booking with Jakada Tours and asking for Mohamed if you want an English tour.

Amazing! - Jakada Tours Egypt,
This was my first time visiting Egypt and was really nervous not knowing what to expect but my Tour guides, Mohamed (AKA Handsome Mo) was my first guide for the Pyramids. Mohamed always asked if I was comfortable and needed anything the 2 days we spent together for this tour.
The second Mohamed ( Aka MoToo) was just as attentive to my needs.
Now for the details.
Giza/Cairo Pyramids
I've dubbed these guys their nicknames so that anyone reading thiss will know who to ask for when booking a tour guide with Jakada. They were both super knowledgeable guides, very personable and great sense of humors. They both made me feel very safe (not that I was in any danger) the entire time.
I was met outside of the airport by Handsome Mo first then taken to the hotel near the pyramids. This was an increadible experience since it was right in the center of it all. The beautiful chaos of all the traffic, people walking talking, merchants everwhere it was almost as you would see in a movie. Absolutely amazing!
I could see the pyramids from my room balcony and from the rooftop restaurant at the hotel. The hotel staff was great as well, the rooms super clean. I have a huge phobia of bugs and was expecting to come accross something but the only thing I saw was a fly. Very, very clean and bug free Hotel.
The food was good. Nothing real special, burgers, salads etc. but Mo had some local food delivered to me so that i could get a taste of Egyption cuisine and it was fantastic.
Luxor Temples and Tombs
Handsome Mo and the driver picked me up from the hotel in Cairo/Giza to drive me back to Cairo airport for my next trip which was Luxor.
The flight was quick, about 45 minutes and not too chaotic getting through the airport. I was greeted by 2 gentlemnt from Jakada tours, one was the driver and the other was the meet and greet person. Yes, his name was Mohamed as well. We dropped Mohamed off on way to hotel then picke up MoToo. Very friendly well spoken young man just like Handsom mo. He asked if I was comfortable and if I needed anything. He explained the Itinerary as well and talked a little about the area we were at.
The hotel in Luxor was very Luxurious. We were served Hibiscus juice in a wine glass as we waited to get checked in. MoToo also made arrangements for a late checkout because my flight back to Cairo was not until 8pm and he did not want me to sit around for 3 hours waiting for my tour to begin.
The hotel staff were really friendly and always asked if I was enjoying my stay. The buffet breakfast was also very good, huge variety, omelet station, all sorts of breads, potatos, cereal, juice, coffee and you can sit outside to enjoy the Nile River view.
I don't know of any other tour companies to compare to but I will say I do not regret hring Jakada Tours for this trip. The price was great, the tour guides are very personable and really attend to any of your needs. They will go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant and comfortable time in Egypt.
I booke the 5 day package with 3 day Nile cruise but the airline cancelled my flight there so everything needed to be changed. Jakada tours staff took care of rearranging things for me instantly and even made sure I was able to at lest have a dinner cruise on the Nile. That really meant a lot to me.
As for namine the 2 Mohameds I've mentioned, I hope no one thinks I was being disrespectful, I asked them if it was ok to call them by those nicknames and they were all for it!
Very pleasant guides, will miss them all. If I ever plan to return to Egypt, I will be certain to only ask for these 2 young men. They have both made quite the impression on me and I have a special place in my hear for both of them.
Believe it or not, I left a ton of stuff out because there was just too much to mention and all of it was a great experience.
I recomment Jakada Tours Egypt 100 percent but again, it's the only tour company I had the pleasure of hiring.
Thank you for reading and safe travels.
