About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Claudio G0 contributionsThis Food Tour Turns into an Amazing Cultural ImmersionExcellent experience! After having done several walking tours in Athens and Rome, we were not sure what to expect in terms of Egyptian food, especially with an early pick up at 9:30am. We were greeted by Hala, whose energetic personality could simultaneously charge our cell phones, and driven in an air conditioned van to Giza Protectorate for a taste of Egyptian breakfast. The breakfast spread included shakshuka, eggs scrambled with a tomato sauce, crispy and delicious Egyptian falafel prepared with fava beans, as well as Fava brown beans, babaganoush, warm pita style bread, cucumber and yogurt sauce. Hala explained the cultural traditions around food as well as the basic cooking styles. This brunch was delicious but filling and needed time for digestion, so we were driven to an essential oils and spices vendor with government accreditation and production to ease our minds about quality. We experienced a surprising and welcome essential oils tour that included ancient Egyptian formulas and processes, such as blue lotus oil, white amber, etc. Additionally, some of the oils were blends and perfumes used culturally and therapeutically in Egypt. Following this interesting tour, we visited two additional vendors also accredited by the government: a papyrus and a cotton clothing vendor with their own mills. Both had very good quality items. We did find purchases in all three, which were unexpected but well worth the visit. Finally, we arrived the lunch location at 1:30 pm at a rooftop restaurant with a spectacular view of the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza. We could not believe our luck in having this central vantage point for our first experience of the one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and Hala loved sharing her pride and joy in her native Giza with us. The lunch included grilled chicken with grilled lamb and meat sausages, okra in tomato sauce, mixed zucchini and squash, warm pita bread, spicy grilled eggplant and a delicious assortment of sweet pastries for dessert. Had we not had to return to the hotel by 3 pm, we could have spent a full day in this tour! Hala could not possibly be more effusive and extroverted if she tried ---making our experience fun and ebullient!Written February 13, 2025
- Excursion052905334730 contributionsカイロ郊外のピラミッドツアー(サッカラ、メンフィス、ダハシュール)Pyramids tour outside Cairo (Saqqara, Memphis, Dahshur)ドライバー、ガイドの方の対応は非常に丁寧でよいツアーでした。6時間を十分使い細かく案内してくれました。帰る途中で申し込んだツアー会社のマネージャーの方が飛び込みで乗車し、とても楽しい会話で思い出に残るツアーとなりました。 The driver and guide were very polite and it was a good tour. They used the six hours to give us a detailed tour. On the way back, the manager of the tour company we booked with jumped in and we had a very fun conversation, making it a memorable tour.Written February 9, 2025

- sarahsD7685AK0 contributionsInformative tour with historical focusWe had a very nice tour of the National museum of Egyptian Civilization and Coptic Cairo. Our guide, Sugarqueen, was very kind and informative. She was happy to answer questions and adapt the tour to our interests. The museum was well curated to get a good overview of the history of the area, as well as see the preserved mummies. The Coptic area also shows an interesting perspective. The tour guide and driver were both excellent. A good overview for a single day.Written January 27, 2025

- darrenmP873RY0 contributionsI recommend this tour!This is an amazing tour, the package is good. My tour guide Irene was knowledgable, friendly and allowed me to go at my own pace. While I didn't always understand her due to her English not being the best, she was still good. The food at lunch was cold but nice. The restaurant where I had lunch had an amazing view of the Nile and equally had amazing staff. Overall I still recommend this tour for what is included and the price.Written January 19, 2025

We visited 4 mosques in the area, learned about history of period architecture, and ended the tour with Khan Alkhalili market. Has hot falafel and shawarma to get the true local feel. Khalefa, our energetic guide, took us through the best streets to take the most memorable photos. A most gracious guide!

Today was our 3rd and last day with the indomitable Khalefa. We visited Sultan Hassan, Al Rifai, and Al Azhar mosques and then spent considerable time in the Khan al Khalili bazaar. Exactly what we were looking for and Khalefa was amazing all along with his knowledge of history and local spots. Our driver Saeed has been amazing all along. I’ve never met a better driver!!!! Thank you both!!!
