          Make sure your guide has a good review
          Guide was 35 minutes late. She was only interested in flicking and touching her hair and having her photograph taken all the time. Kept calling me “honey”.

          Worth It
          We had a Great time with Nour Nagy & Sameh as our guide and driver. The ability to move at our own pace was Great, Nour Nagy was very knowledgeable about the Egyptian Ancient history. She knew all the right people between all the different historic sites, we never really had to wait or be harassed by the locals. Also, she took the time to position us for the pictures to get the best angles. I would 100% recommend ask for Nour Nagy & Sameh.

          Cairo City Adventures
          We had a great time with Muhammad & Haitham during our visit to Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque & Old Coptic Cairo. Muhammad’s knowledge is excellent and he takes the time to explain everything along the way. A fantastic lesson in history for us. Plenty of time to appreciate each place as we moved through the city. Highly recommend, thank you for another great day!

          A Seventh Wonder Adventure!
          We had an exceptional day with Muhammad & Haitham. Muhammad was very knowledgeable on all the sites we visited and we learnt so much from him. A great host who gave us plenty of time to appreciate the amazing sites. Haitham was a fabulous driver and kept us safe on the roads. We really loved the itinerary and would recommend to anyone who wants to have a memorable experience learning and immersing oneself in a slice of Egyptian history. Fantastic!

          Packed One Day tour of Cairo/Giza’s sites
          I had a layover in Cairo and took the opportunity to see the pyramids, the Nile River and the Museum of Egyptian Civilization while I was there. I chose this company after researching and I was not disappointed!! Our driver and our guide Muhammad were excellent! If you have a 1/2 or full day layover, definitely do this tour.

          These Americans “Toured Like an Egyptian!”
          Once in a lifetime day despite the July heat! Muhammad, our tour guide and Haitham our driver gave us a world class, individualized and unforgettable tour. We visited a few pyramids, the sphinx, the Ramses museum as well as stops to learn about oils, spices, papyrus and rug making. Ate Egyptian barbecue for lunch. Really appreciated the variety, pacing and better understanding of Egypt, the history, the culture and the people. Highly recommended!!

          History brought to life
          Such a wonderful tour! We enjoyed each step of the way learning about the history and details. The guide Mustafa really took his time to explain vividly the history and timeline represented along our path. As beautiful and historical as each landmark was, we could have never appreciated it without his insight. He did an excellent job not only explaining the history and the connections, but he did so in a manner that was clear, engaging, and full of life. He truly made the history come alive and it was helpful for the rest of our trip in Egypt. We really loved the tour, our guide was excellent, and we would highly recommend a tour to others.

          Learned so much in one day - above and beyond service!!
          We had a great time with Sugar Queen - our fun and energetic tour leader. She is so knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, take photos and advise you on what to buy, how much to pay and tipping. I would happily tour with this company again. My literally ONLY suggestion would be to see Giza earlier in the day. We enjoyed shopping at the places she took us to so much that by the time we reached Giza it was near closing. Sugar Queen and her husband went completely above and beyond in helping my husband reclaim a bag that arrived late - he was super stressed but they were a big help. Thank you!!

          a Walk to Remeber 😁😁
          not just a walk, but a glimpse of the Egyptian life and history, the Khan El-Khalil Market, a Market that has seen years of how Cairo evolve. The Walk with Muhammad, a guy who has walked those paths thousand times, he knows every corner and the stories of each, there‘s no other way to do this tour than with him.

          Amazing Visit to National Museum for Egyptian Civilisation
          Our guide Amira was very knowledgeable and made our visit to the National Museum for Egyptian Civilisation a very pleasurable one. The Mummies Exhibition was the highlight.

        Highly recommend to see those pyramids. You may get inside Sakkara, totally worth it. Close by there is a tomb of king and princess with well preserved hierogryphs (I hope I spell it right). Dashur pyramid is challenging :-)
        Memphis was smaller than we thought, they plan to make further excavations in the future.
        We had a great trip with Abdo, our tour guide. He got us some snacks and drinks beforehand, as there are no shops around.
