One more bucket list ticked ✅ - Ahmed was an amazing guide. He shared his historical knowledge with us and was great company. Nothing was too much trouble for him and we can thoroughly recommend him. If we’d had more time in Cairo we would have booked him for other tours.

Review Omair - Very nice guide and very attentive. It's made things much easier for us. The explanation of the pyramids is the best with many curious things. He doesn't seek to rip people off and recommends the best things. Un 10

Omair, 10/10 - The best guide we could have had, Omair, our guide, the best person we could have met in all of Egypt, has taken us to eat a typical dish and everything after the whole tour.All super well explained, super dynamic, and very entertaining.The truth is that I wish in every tour we could find someone like Omair.

OMAIR THE BEST GUIDE - TOTAL Experience!! Thank you very much to OMAIR, the best guide. We thought it would be an ordinary tour, but Omair has surprised us with very good bibras and great energy. We have talked about all sorts of things, a lot of very well structured information, very good sports for taking pictures, full tracking throughout the venue, in short, something that must be done if or if. Thanks Omair!! If I had met you before🎶

AMAZING - We loved the day trip to the pyramids and the sphinx but certainly the best thing was our guide Omair, a respectful boy, close and made us feel safe at all times, a person of 10 that we already got along as one of the Egyptian experiences. If I went back to Egypt, I would definitely ask him again. Thank you friend for your wisdom and for making everything so enjoyable.

Best experience - What a day! I had an amazing time, and had the best guide. It was so informative and a fun experience. Hazem was great - so knowledgeable, friendly and to top it all, a great photographer. If you can, ask for Hazem when you do your booking.

Omair has made us live the best journey of our life. - We are a group of 9 Erasmus friends. We decided to go to Egypt (El cairo) but we weren’t quite sure what the trip would look like as it was something totally new for us. From day one Omair came to pick us up at our house with a modern and very comfortable van. The road to the Pyramids was fun, we sang and chatted until we reached the complex. Along the way he explained the whole history of Egypt to put us in context so that once we reached the pyramids we understood everything well. Once in the pyramids, he was very professional in all aspects, we did not have to wait at any time as he had everything well planned and planned, so we did not waste time. Omair explained to us the whole history of the pyramids, the pharaohs, their beliefs and their customs, as well as the different theories that explain their construction. He told us which were the best places to take pictures and also helped us buy souvenirs at a fair price. In addition, thanks to his experience we were able to ride a camel in the Pyramids enclosure at a very affordable price. Consequently, and for some other bad experience with other guides, we decided to contact him on our last day to hire a boat ride on the Nile. He found us the best price for this activity, picked us up punctually at the hotel (as usual) and once inside the boat, he worried at all times that we were not missing anything; he got us the best table to enjoy the show. He then took us to the top of the boat to sing and dance. Once the ride was over we got a van from the agency and asked him to accompany us to do the last shopping before returning. I had no problem negotiating for us to find the best price. Leaving aside the professional side, Omair has seemed to us to be an exceptional person, with a huge heart and above all with a great sense of humor. We can say we've taken an Egyptian friend for a lifetime

Tour Guide Tried to Scam Us - Hamdi was my tour guide. He was fine, although the information was basic and limited. All was good until he said the camel ride is 500 LE for 30 min by government prices yet he was able to magically make it 400 LE. He will just take part of the commission and knows very well the camel ride should be 100-200 LE. It even says on the sign at the base 500 LE for 1h, not 30 min. The official rate is 100 LE per 30 min. When we confronted him he played dumb. Before trying to scam us with the camel prices, he talks about integrity and not scamming tourists and whatnot. Just like 95% of everybody else in Egypt, he will try to scam you. We also only spent 10 minutes at the sphinx, didn't even go inside the premise or look at it from up front. The tour was advertised to take 4h but we were back at the hotel within 3h. Very disappointing considering he said he had a masters degree in archeology and was chairman of the archeological association, yet he tried to scam us. Really makes me doubt whether he was telling the truth.
