      First time in Cairo
      Thanks to mimo and yasin we had a great time in egypt. We started our day at the pyramids, we then stopped at the museum where we saw king tut's mask, the bazaar, and ended our day at the nile. Mimo and Yasin made sure we were comfortable, took their time to wait for us when we wanted to shop, answered all our questions and hooked us up with the best shawarma and falafel in Cairo. Thank you so much mimo amd yasin for the unforgettable experience.

      Best experience of Cairo for first time travellers
      The best tour to visit the key highlights in Cairo for 2 days. It's a private tour so me and my partner had the driver and our fabulous tour guide for ourselves! Phoebe was fantastic, always accommodating us, protecting us from scams and making sure we were comfortable (and hydrated!). She was basically one of the highlights in Cairo. The first day we went to the pyramids complex and had lunch with a view. I really appreciated that this tour included also Saqqara and Memphis. I've got the best pictures of Egypt from this day (and we were around for 2 weeks!) The second day we visited Old Cairo and the Egyptian Museum. After being in both I don't think I would have been able to survive without a guide so really thankful for having Phoebe with us and for all her knowledge. The lunch on the second day was my favourite. We went to a local restaurant near the Hanging Church and it was so so nice. It was our first time in Cairo so having this very complete tour with such a fantastic guide really made the difference for us.

      My niece and I had an unforgettable two-day tour with Zenab. We explored three Pyramid sites, a Mosque with stunning city views, the Hanging Church in the Coptic area, a bustling bazaar, and the main Egyptian museum. Zenab's knowledge and pride in his country were truly impressive, and he was available for questions even after the tour ended. I highly recommend choosing a private tour and customizing your itinerary. Make sure to ask for Zenab!

      Sounds like we had an awesome time exploring the pyramids with Ashraf as our guide! It's pretty rare to find someone so knowledgeable and eager to share not just the ancient history but also what's going on in modern Egypt. From what you said, Ashraf really went above and beyond, taking photos and making sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. That's the mark of a great guide—someone who makes the experience memorable beyond just the sights. Props to the tour company for using WhatsApp to keep things smooth—it’s great that they’re using what works best to keep everyone informed. These little details can make a trip super easy and stress-free. Asking for Ashraf by name sounds like a pro tip for anyone wanting to explore Egypt. Having a guide who's not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about sharing his culture really sets this tour apart. Thanks for the recommendation—it's invaluable for anyone planning their own adventure to see the pyramids and wanting an experience that's truly top-notch!

      Great ATV ride by the Giza Pyramids
      Seeing the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx was hands-down the best part of the tour. The quad bike ride at the edge of the Giza plateau was an absolute blast. Our guide, Ashraf, made the whole experience unforgettable with his awesome stories. We had a ton of fun and got some amazing photos. I totally recommend this tour, especially if you can get Ashraf as your guide.

      Wonderful experience
      Man, hittin' up the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx was straight-up the best part of our trip. Them old wonders got us feelin' some way with all that history and whatnot. But yo, what really took it to another level was tearin' it up on them quad bikes right on the edge of the Giza plateau. Flyin' across the desert with the pyramids in the background? Pure adrenaline, no cap. Our guy Ashraf was the real MVP, though. He knew his stuff inside out, tellin' us all these dope stories about Egyptian history like we was time-travelin'. Dude made everything mad interesting, so we was hangin' on every word. We had a blast and snapped some fire pics that we gon' treasure forever. From the quad bike thrill rides to those jaw-droppin' views of the pyramids and the Sphinx, everything was on point, planned out perfect. If you tryin' to see Cairo's iconic spots, this tour's a must. And if you can, make sure you get Ashraf as your guide. His knowledge and love for Egyptian history gon' make your trip next-level.

      Great Tour with Tree of Life Tours
      This was the best tour I took in Egypt. Zenab, my tour guide, was patient, not pushy, and spoke excellent English. She showed me unique spots and made the experience smooth. The driver was also kind and patient. Highly recommended, especially if you need a calm and chill guide. Plus, she’s a fantastic photographer!

      Brilliant two day tour service!
      Mimo our tour guide and Ibrahim our driver for the two days was exceptional. Nothing was too much hassle for them. Mimo made our experience great, he made sure that we had everything we needed going at our own pace especially with a 21 month old baby. They adjusted pick up time by half hr as 8am was too early for us. He is very knowledgeable and has tons of information to share. Our trip to the Saqqara was part way abandoned due to the extreme heat by ourselves and Mimo refunded our tickets for it- brilliant service. The camel ride was shorter than the allcated time but Mimo made sure this was completed and sent us back on again- he gave us the choice of riding the horse and carriage. He really went the extra mile to make sure we had time to experience, rest and explore thoroughly. Ask for Mimo if you do book and you will see how accomadating he is. He even stopped to get us watermelon at our request! Food was good in a nice resturant the first day, then shawarma on the second. Everything is explained clearly and fully- adjustments are made according to the client- it is your tour so go with what works for you. All addidional stops that isnt part of the tour was a treat too. He did not push us to buy infact he made sure the locals especially in Khan-el-Khalil bazzar werent ripping us off with extortinate prices- he made sure we didnt fall for it and kept us all safe throughtout our two day. We already miss his company. Ibrahim is a true gentleman, opening the door helping with our stroller making sure the car was always clean. Aircon great what luxury! There was no pressure and we were relaxed. Thank you to both men for making our trip pleasant.

      Our tour with Zenab was a top-notch experience that went beyond the usual travel adventure! Having a guide who is not only deeply knowledgeable about Egyptology but also genuinely passionate about her country can turn a tour into an unforgettable journey. Zenab's enthusiasm, expertise, professionalism, and sense of humor have profoundly impacted our group's experience. She embodies the spirit of welcoming and joy that makes travel so rewarding. Guides like her are absolute treasures; they provide insights and connections to the places visited that you can't find in books or online.

      Solo female Cairo tour
      Zenab, a female guide for a personalized tour of the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara, where I discovered the pyramids, saw the Sphinx, and climbed into ancient tombs. Ideal for solo female travelers in Cairo, this women-only tour ensures comfort and offers a rare chance to explore with a female Egyptologist in Egypt’s male-dominated travel industry.

      Our tour with Zenab and Mido was fantastic. They picked us up from our hotel in an A/C car and explained our itinerary. At the Great Pyramids of Giza, Zenab took great photos, and we enjoyed a camel ride to the viewing area. We visited the Papyrus paper gallery, the Sakkara Step Pyramid, and the treasures of Ramses II in Memphis. Lunch was delicious, and we had a view of the Pyramids. We also saw how essential oils and perfumes are made. Zenab and Mido provided excellent historical insights and made us feel comfortable throughout. I highly recommend asking them for the best tour of Egypt!

      Our adventure in Cairo, the city that never truly sleeps, was elevated to an unforgettable experience, thanks to Ashraf, our incredibly knowledgeable and gracious tour guide, and Salah, our skillful driver. When Ashraf reached out to us a day before our arrival, his proactive communication assured us we were in good hands. This level of organization and attention to detail set the tone for the entire day. Ashraf's expertise in Egypt's rich history breathed life into every monument we visited. From the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza, where history stands tall against the backdrop of time, to the vibrant corridors of the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, bustling with the essence of Egyptian culture, He provided insights that went beyond the ordinary. His ability to capture the perfect moments for photos made our memories even more unique, ensuring we could bring a piece of our adventure back home. The highlight of our day was undoubtedly the delicious lunch with a view of the pyramids. It was a moment of tranquility amidst a day filled with wonder. Following lunch, our afternoon at the Egyptian Museum was enriched by Ashraf's deep knowledge of the artifacts, making the history of this ancient civilization unfold before our eyes. Ashraf's punctuality, politeness, and passion for sharing his country's heritage made him not just a guide but a host in the truest sense of the word. Coupled with Salah's driving that easily navigated Cairo's lively streets, our day was as seamless as it was spectacular. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashraf and Salah for anyone looking to explore Cairo's historical wonders. Their professionalism, warmth, and expertise transform a simple tour into an extraordinary voyage through time.

      Returning to Cairo's iconic pyramids was an experience I thought couldn't be topped, yet I am pleasantly corrected here. This time around, our guide, Ashraf, transformed the familiar sightseeing venture into an extraordinary exploration. His depth of knowledge about Egypt's rich history and his engaging storytelling manner added layers of intrigue and appreciation I hadn't encountered on my first visit. Opting for the 8-hour tour allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the wonders of Cairo beyond the towering marvels of the Pyramids. From the bustling markets echoing the vibrant day-to-day life to the serene and imposing Sphinx that stands guard, every moment was a thrilling discovery, igniting a sense of adventure and curiosity. Gouda's approachable and pleasant demeanor made all the difference, making it feel less like a guided tour and more like a heartwarming day out with a friend who happens to know incredible amounts about one of the world's most fascinating places. His passion for sharing the history and culture of Egypt was evident, making every tale from the ancient world come alive before our eyes. Endorsing this tour comes easy for anyone looking to experience Cairo and its pyramids, whether for the first or tenth time; having Ashraf as your guide will undoubtedly enrich your visit. It's not just about ticking off landmarks but about connecting with the heart and soul of Egypt, all thanks to a guide who goes above and beyond to make your day memorable.

    We just had 1 day to spend in Cairo and this was the best option. Basim and Ashraf picked us up at the hotel and spend with us the whole day. They were the best guides ever! Outstanding History knowledge and excellent English. They were really committed with our safety and well-being, very friendly and made us fell very comfortable. They went above and beyond to give us advise as to where to visit and what to do in Cairo and Egypt.

    We recently went to see the Pyramids in Egypt an had an amazing experience in this half day tour which included all the fees to enter the pyramids and the camel ride. Our guide Amaal Hussein was very nice, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. My mother loved having her as our guide and next time we go back to Egypt we'll definitely look for her.

    Our tour with Ahmed Eraky was a highlight of our trip. We were promptly picked up at our hotel, Eraky kept us informed from the moment our drive began, and made the traffic barely noticeable. Our guide was excellent with helping us avoid local pitfalls at the pyramids (literal and figurative), took great photos and was entirely accomodating. We went to local papyrus and perfume shops, watched demonstrations, an had a delicious kosheri lunch. I would recommend this tour and guide to anyone visiting the pyramids at Giza.
