Zeinab immediately put me at ease, We went to several places, she took the time to explain things to me and asked me if I was interested.

- 183aishar0 contributionsBrilliant Tour - Absolutely Loved It!The trip was really well organised. We loved every minute of it. Every aspect was made special because of our dedicated guide Mimo who took away all the hassle and navigated us through Cairo with ease. He was our photographer as we explored the beautiful pyramids, cheering us on as we rode the camels and an expert Egyptologist to help us appreciates the history of the mosque and museum. Amir our driver was great, always in the right place at the right time making this packed itinerary feel relaxed and enjoyable. The Nile boat ride was the perfect way to end the day.

- geadan20240 contributionsAwesome Cairo tourWe had an amazing tour having the opportunity to explore the major sights in Giza and Cairo in one day. We didn’t have to worry about anything as everything was settled to the last detail by our great tour guide Mimo and our careful driver Amr. We really enjoyed ourselves and gained a lot of new information about Egyptian culture. Moreover, the camel ride and the felucca is making this trip a completed experience. Thank you so much guys for helping us make all these memories!Written November 5, 2024
- sadahnyt0 contributionsBest Giza and Cairo tourI booked a private tour and Mimo was tour guide and Amr was our driver. My husband and I had a long layover in Cairo and decided to book a quick tour to kill some time. Best decision we’ve ever made! We were just coming from a long Asia tour so we were pretty tired and worried we’d be too tired for this Cairo tour. Mimo was so accommodating and even messaged me about two the day before to ensure he had all necessary information he needed for prior to our arrival. He bought us water and Amr safely and professional navigated the busy streets of Giza and Cairo. My husband and I felt very safe in the hands of Mimo and Amr. As this was a private tour we were not rushed and it was made sure we were comfortable the whole way through. Mimi also took some really great photos of me and my husband around the pyramids and sphinx that I feel like most people would charge extra for. He made sure that we knew what to expect and protected us from an aggressive sales folks which is great as a foreign tourist.There were three things included in the price of the tour such as the tour of the sunset boat/camel ride/ and the Felucca boat ride. I would recommend this tour with Mimo and Amr 6/5 stars!!Written July 13, 2024

- Dwayne M0 contributionsPerfect Day Exploring Cairo and Giza with Mimo and Adel.Fantastic Day visting Cairo, Giza, and the Nile. A private tour and guide is essential to get the most out of your time. Driving all across the city and fast access to attractions. Very informative from an expert Egyptologist of over 20 years experience. Also, your driver may be Adel, who is a gentleman and minds your belongings while your hands are free to climb the pyramids, get on a camel, and explore the museum, not to mention his expert driving skills which is needed here. Also, a light lunch was perfect to keep us going. You can stop off for gifts too if you wish at some shops. The Mosque was beautiful and respectfully done. We finished off our day for a relaxing Felucca trip (boat) by expert boatmen on the Nile. It is an experience of a lifetime with the perfect guide and driver, a must do if you want to experience real history and culture that Egypt has to offer.Written May 6, 2024

- _S8391ZJ0 contributionsMain attractions with a trip along the Nile in one dayI advise to visit this private tour. It is possible visit not only the Pyramids and the Museum, but also the Mosque, as well as ride along the Nile River. A camel ride, a delicious lunch and a visit to souvenir shops are also included. The guide Mimo has good English, he is a real professional. Moreover, Mimo offers various positions for taking best photos. Thanks for the good time!Written April 18, 2024

My fiancé and I travelled to Cairo from Chicago to explore the pyramids and check it off out bucket list.
We found Zienab through trip advisor and read all the positive reviews. Our experience was first class as she arrived on time with a driver, directed us to our camel ride, took our pics and gave us insight to life in Cairo. We felt safe the whole time!
When we come back we will do another tour with Zienab.

I had the greatest luck to meet Zenab.
She was my tour guide for a short visit in Cairo. She is a lovely lady and proficient in her knowledge of Cairo and Egypt. Always smiling, good sense of humour and very adaptable to any kind of tour or visit in Egypt. She has the best driver and camel ride handlers with whom she has worked for many years. She immediately puts you at ease with her gentle manner and reminds you throughout all visits that buying and tipping are not compulsory.
(However, we couldn’t resist getting some of the incredible oils and perfumes, papyrus artwork and beautiful handmade jewellery!)
Zenab and her great team are worth my upcoming return to Egypt to continue exploring and learning with her.
Thank you Zenab see you soon!

Amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Our tour guide Mimo and driver Yasin were wonderful. Mimo is a highly educated guide and provided a wealth of information, able to answer all questions in colloquial English. Yasin is a careful driver who kept our belongings safe in the van as we toured the amazing sites. Mimo knew all the best poses and vantage points to take the best pictures. Mimo also was welll organized and served as a barrier between our group and all the trinket sellers. Would highly recommend.

We had only 3 days in cairo so we took the 8 hours tour around Cairo. We had our private tour guide Ms. Zainb who was informative, welcoming, and she did an amazing job showing us the highlights of Cairo giving us tips and taking photos of us, she bought water for us and got the tickets we need to enter the attractions.
Thank you Zainab for the wonderful experience!

Mimo is what you would wish your tour guide would be like: knowledgeable (he's an Egyptologist), professional, and have a GREAT sense of humor :D Our young kids thoroughly enjoyed his historical explanation, fun facts, and quizzes (!) All delivered in super comical, yet educational way (he'd be a great vlogger / YouTuber). Mimo truly made our wonderful tour in Cairo become memorable. He provided valuable explanation that made me feel it would be a loss for me as a tourist if I were just to come alone & see those historical sites & artifacts without context / backstory. And if you got stuck in Cairo traffic jam? No problem, just start talking about football with him :D
Thanks, Mimo! Rest assured anytime our family talk about our Egypt trip, your name will be mentioned in that story.
As for constructive feedback to the tour program: maybe you can take away the perfume / herbal oil house from your program, it's skippable & not in the same 'wow' level as the other places ;)

We did an 8-hour private tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum and Bazaar including Camel Ride and Lunch from Cairo. A lovely lady-guide, Zenab, made the whole day extra special. She had so much knowledge on any topic about Egypt we had interest in. We loved the Egyptian Museum and enjoyed the local lunch very much. I can recommend this tour agency if you get this guide.

We were in Cairo on business and wrapped off the trip with our amazing guide Zenab.
She added colour and wit to the tour, we'd highly recommend her.
Seeing cultural icons like the Pyramids is also going to be amazing but Zenab made it special and even more informative.
She added the human dimension.
The other parts like the papyrus factory where fascinating as well.
All in all a great trip.

I cannot say enough great things about Mahmoud Hoka!! He was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful and had a great sense of humour! My husband and I booked him for a half day pyramids private tour and had the absolute best time! I would HIGHLY recommend Mahmoud Hoka to anyone looking for a personalized tour of Egypt! He knows all the great spots for pictures and shopping 😊
We can’t wait to go back!

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide Zenab Hanafy
She put everyone at ease and explained the Egyptian customs in details.
We never felt rushed during the activities and she was always concerned about how we felt. The lunch break was delicious not to mention the view, fabulous.
I will be back and use their services again.
