About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Ganesh S0 contributionsDay tour to local CairoWe had a private tour today to Egyptian museum, copyic egypt and khan Bazaar. Zanaty Mohamed was our tour guide. It was another day of excellent experience. He showed us theses places gave a good idea about the history. He also took us to a place for local food which as superb. I would highly recommend Zanaty Mohamed as tour guide. It is worth as one will know and enjoy the tripWritten December 7, 2024
- 5Tucks0 contributionsMake time to see these three sitesWe had a great day, going to Sakkara, Dashur, and Memphis with our tour guide Hosni. He was friendly and professional. The sites themselves were awesome. We went into a couple of the pyramids, which was a really awesome experience. The bent pyramid takes some work, but was worth the effort. You climb down a ways, then go up steps at two different points, then crawl through a tunnel. It is manageable though, even if you are a little out of shape. It is not nearly as hot nor as crowded as the great pyramid. Definitely worth exploring. All three of the sites were fascinating and well worth spending the day to do these three rather than cramming them into one of the tours that also do the pyramids. Do this tour instead of one of those. Hosni also took us to lunch at a restaurant that seems to cater to tour groups. The hospitality and people were warm and friendly. The food was good. The price was $15 USD per person plus drink prices and tip, which is high compared to other restaurants in Egypt, but is average for lunch out in the US. It seems most of the tours we went on had the same food- the mixed grill with accompaniments. I wish we had been able to try a greater variety of food during our time here, but I think they select restaurants that can serve a lot of tourists, which makes sense. The only real drawback was that we were told they accept credit cards but after eating, they said their card reader didn’t work and asked us first to pay in US dollars (most people in the US don’t even carry cash at home, since we use cards or tap our phones to pay everywhere, and we wouldn’t expect to use USD in a foreign country, so didn’t bring much at all). After we told them we have Egyptian Pounds, they went and recalculated and came back with the total in EGP. It all worked out, but felt a little chaotic. So, if you are booking after reading this, bring extra USD. We were also taken to a carpet school. We already did something similar on tour in Morocco, so I didn’t really want to go, but this one was more informative. You really do learn a lot. They also did not pressure us at all. The overall tour was great and I would recommend this tour and Hosni. You will learn a lot about the sites and enjoy your day with him.Written December 7, 2024
- Ganesh S0 contributionsDay trip to Cairo to AlexandriaWe had a private day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. Our tour guide was Zanaty Mohy. We fully enjoyed the day trip. He took us to the places of great historical significance. He explained everything thing in details. We found him knowledgeable, humble and having a good sense of humour. We had a memorable day trip. We will highly recommend Zanaty Mohamed as a tour guide for any such trip.Written December 6, 2024

We will highly recommend Zanaty Mohamed as a guide for any trip in CairoWritten December 6, 2024
- Ganesh S0 contributionsTrip of Aswan and LuxorWe Visted Aswan and Luxor. Our tour guide was Emad. Emad was excellent person. He was very knowledgeable about history of the Egypt. We visted all the historically important places. Emad explained us very well He was polite, courteous and had excellent sense of humour. Historical places were amazing. The fun of the trip was added by excellent tour guide. I will highly recommend to have him as personal tour guide or even for the group.Written December 4, 2024

- Z5287VMmichaels0 contributionsVery educational and a good time.Tarek our guide was very knowledgeable and he communicated in a very clear manner also showing his passion for the subject. We had a great time in the museum learning about Egypt's vast history. I would recoomend using Tarek Rizk as your guide if visiting a museum in Cairo.Written November 29, 2024
- Sunshine6046940 contributionsA fascinating and historic tourMy daughter and I had a wonderful time touring Coptic and Islamic Cairo. We visited the historic churches and mosques of Cairo, as well as the Citadel, a fortification built by Saladin in the 1100s. Highlights included the Muhammad Ali Mosque (made of alabaster) and St. Simon Church (in a cave beneath a mountain). Also included were churches along the path taken by the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt. Truly historic! Our tour was much enhanced by our guide, Zizou, whose knowledge of Islamic, Christian and Ancient Egypt history is truly impressive. Zizou is a friendly and accommodating guide who aims to please. He encouraged questions and readily offered to take pictures, pointing out the best locations. It was our good luck to have him as our guide.Written November 29, 2024
- 989maceyw0 contributionsBudget TourWe did the “Budget White Desert Tour” and it was lacking. You get a driver, not a guide, who barely speaks during the tour (while it does say this online, we were expecting a bit more). There was not a lot of communication throughout the tour or once we got to camp so we were often confused. The desert itself is way out there so you spend a lot of time in the car driving to and from locations. But, camping in the desert was a cool experience, the food was great, and we sang and danced at night which was fun. Besides the lower quality of our budget tour, we also just didn’t think the White Desert was worth it.Written November 29, 2024

- Sunshine6046940 contributionsFascinating tour of old Christian churchesThis was a fascinating tour of a different side of Cairo. It started with a drive through the narrow, dirty and chaotic streets of “Garbage City,” the only way to reach St. Simon Church. That drive was an experience unto itself. St. Simon is a unique and gorgeous church in a cave beneath a mountain. It was built only about 50 years ago — much more recently than the other churches on the tour — but has an old-world charm of its own. The other churches, also beautiful and well-worth seeing, are clustered together in the Coptic center of Cairo. Our guide was Zizou, a charming, friendly and extremely knowledgeable Egyptologist. This was our third tour with Zizou and his skilled driver, Ehab. The two previous tours covered (1) the pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum and (2) Saqqara, Memphis and Dashur. The breath of Zizou’s knowledge of the history of Ancient Egypt, Islam and Christianity is truly impressive. He brings a high level of enthusiasm and incisiveness to his work. He also encourages questions and frequently offers to take pictures from perfect spots. It was our good luck to have him as our guide.Written November 27, 2024

- smoesgaard0 contributionsGiza Pyramids and Egyptian museum with Deluxe Tours is a must in CairoExceptionel experience to see the Giza pyramids, go inside the Keops pyramid (only recommended for the fit and non-claustrofobic people), go on a camel ride, have a great local koshari lunch and see the amazing Egyptian museum. We had Hosni as our guide - he spoke perfect English, answered all our questions and learned is a lot. Very friendly and respectful. Took lots of fantastic photos of us. I highly recommend this tour which was a dream come true. We also had a great driver that navigatedus safely through the busy traffic and always was ready to collect us.Written November 23, 2024
- 646sandram0 contributionsThe GEM is amazing but having a private guide makes it so much betterZizou was an excellent guide. I highly recommend him. He was very knowledgeable especially about all the hieroglyphics on the various exhibits at the GEM and his English is excellent. He was my private guide for a day and a half visiting the GEM, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square particularly for the Tutankhamen exhibits, the Museum of Egyptian Civilisation where the Royal Mummies exhibit was amazing and the Giza Plateau. My enjoyment and understanding of all the displays was made so much better with Zizou’s explanations ThanksWritten November 19, 2024

Our tour guide Galal was amazing! He worked with our schedule, our personal requests, covid deadlines, security, and still ensured he provided us with a great experience! He ensured that we didn't get cheated out of money due to be foreigners which was a great help!
He's a great tour guide and I would recommend him.
Also, the owner/our initial contact person was very responsive, compromising, professional and provided services at a reasonable price!
Our driver did not speak much English but the little he understood and the little Arabic we understood made for a pleasant cultural experience. We all enjoyed laughing together.
Even the top security that had to escort us around was pleasant. He made us feel safe especially with everything going on with the US and the Middle East. He was greatly appreciated.

We have finished today, 4 days tour around cairo city with the guide Emad G, covering Alexandria, Suez Canal from Porsaied and Ismailia, Coptic Cairo, ST. Simon, Moqattam mountain, Cairo Citadel and Giza Pyramides.
The tour that me, my wife and her sister is frankly the best we have ever had throughout our stay in Egypt. Because Emad was very knowledgeable in history of Egypt with very good English. Emad is extremely enthusiastic about telling us the important facts of the history & monuments and he is a good man, we love him.
The Toyota minivan is so clean, new and comfortable. The deriver Mohamed is an excellent driver keeping us in safe & comfortable mood during the whole 4 days.
We are so Lucky to have this trip with Emad, through the introduction of one of our tour mate, who happened to have Emad guide, when they have been to Alexandria.
We are now more knowledgeable about the wonderful Egyptian country, because we learned a lot from Emad.

I have nothing to say but good words for this travel company! Everyone I dealt with from the the office personnel, our driver and most especially our tour guide. They are all very friendly, professional and good mannered persons. Our driver was Mr. Ruby. He knows how to surpass all the road challenges and we did not experience any problems reaching to our destinations. Special mention to our tourist guide, Mr Emad. Not only he is kind and friendly but he excels in what he does! He’s punctual, very professional, very patient and helpful but his best asset I would say is his amazing talent and ability of explaining every details in our tour! In conclusion, I am definitely highly recommend this travel agency and you will absolutely enjoy your trip!

This was the perfect solution for our group of six; much better than piecing together individual excursions. Mona, the travel consultant who helped us tweak the itinerary to our wishes, was professional and clear with excellent written and verbal communication in fluent English. Medat our guide was friendly, informative, responsive, flexible, even protective…going the extra mile to help with hotel logistics, keeping a watchful eye in busy environments, and walking us home through crazy Cairo traffic when the van got stuck in congestion. He took very good care of us! Walid our driver was friendly and kept us comfortable and safe while getting around (no small feat).

We opted for a two day private tour of Cairo and the surrounding area and hit the jackpot with our guide, Hussein Elgabry. Hussein was very knowledgeable about all things ancient Egypt, he was very good with my two children and definitely took my family’s satisfaction into account. He led a great tour through Saqqara, Memphis, and the Giza Pyramid complex on the first day and then took us through the Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo before we departed for our next stop. Everything went incredibly smooth and my family had a great two days in Cairo. I highly recommend this tour and definitely would be happy to have Hussein as my guide again in the future.

It was an awesome trip and the tour was amazing specially due to the tour guide Mahmoud Badr and our driver Omar. These two were perfect dio to drive around the city with. Mahmoud has so much knowledge and charisma that involved us into the history of the city and kept us interested. Omar such a great driver in a hectic traffic and always kept us safe from point A to point B. The tour price was great for all that you receive. Clean private van (new) tickets entrances and more. I would recommend to ask for these guys as the tour guide and you will have a great time!

Excellent tour! We did a 2 day private tour for cairo and giza! Everything was amazing! Mahmood was our guide. He picked us up at out hotel! The car was comfortable. They had a gentleman driving the car as well so that parking wouldn’t be an issue in the Cairo traffic which can be pretty busy!
The tour was planned well. Mahmood is very knowledgeable about the history of egypt and gave us a deep insight into the background of each of the places we visited. He is pleasant and tries to be as helpful as possible. Tour was on time without any delays!
Overall would definitely recommend it!

This is a review of a full day tour booked to see Islamic Cairo, citadel and the Bazaar. The tour disappeared from the company’s Home page after we booked it and what we got was more like a half day tour to a full day tour Price. The guide Hosni did a great job, friendly and fun. Also the driver got us around safely without problems.

There are not enough words to express how amazing our Cairo travel specialist was during the trip. From the moment we met with Galal, our encounter was very professional. He was was knowledgeable and friendly. He explained the history and small details about each sight, so we can have a better understanding.
I strongly recommend this travel specialist, and we are looking forward to coming back.
Thank you, and all praise to the most high.
