      Amazing Anniversary Tour!
      We decided to book a tour during our anniversary trip to Cairo and it was the highlight of our trip. Gamal served as our tour guide and Mina as our driver - they were timely in the morning, extremely courteous, and very knowledgeable about the historical significance of all the sites we visited, which included the Saqqara pyramids, the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx as well as Memphis. Along the way, Gamal and Mina took amazing photos and videos to document the trip and answered all of our questions. We had lunch at a fantastic Egyptian restaurant included with the tour and in the end they even treated us to authentic falafel on the way back to the hotel. We could not recommend them further - they were both incredible!!!

      Amazing day with Gamel and Mina
      We had a great day with Gamel our tour guide and Mina our driver. Mina got us all around the city of Cairo, Giza and Memphis in one piece which is saying alot with how people drive in Egypt! Gamel was extremely informative about Egyptian history and how these amazing places were possibly built. We felt well taken care of and would recommend the tour 100%!

      Wonderful tour guide on Nile Cruise!
      Passant and our driver arrived at our hotel right on time. Passant was very friendly and knowledgeable, attending to our needs and staying with us the entire time on the cruise. We enjoyed the entertainment and seeing the sights on the Nile. She suggested after the cruise we go to the sound and light show at the Pyramids in Giza. We weren’t aware of the show and would have missed it since it was the last time it was offered during our stay. She went thru our plans for the remainder of our trip to let us know what else we might want to do. We made plans to go to the market the following evening with her.

      Best tour with Gamal and Hany!
      Gamal and Hany were the best! They showed us around the pyramids, the sphinx, and various other places around the city. We loved Gamal’s passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the ancient history and was also an awesome photographer! We had such a wonderful time.

      The Guide with Amazing Vibes
      Mina was our guide to the Nile River dinner show cruise. He was prompt to pick us up, a safe driver when navigating the hectic streets of Cairo, and was great in giving us independence to enjoy ourselves while also checking up on us during the ferry ride. We got to know him a bit better after dinner and hanging out with him made us feel like he was a friend, totally relatable. He had great recommendations on nightlife along with other great cities to visit in Egypt, great photography skills, and also played good music in his car.

      Sam Defines Excellence
      Sam showed my husband and I the greatest vacation experience we have ever had. Sam even protected us against people who were trying to take advantage of us. He is so kind, and he sets the standard of a tour guide experience. He was patient, flexible, a great sense of humor, and guided us with the best poses for our photos at each location. If you love history, you are learning from the very best.
