          Perfectly Organized and Fun
          This was the highlight of my trip, Everything was well-organized, and we had a great time exploring the pyramids and riding camels. The tour was smooth, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. The guide was so knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cairo.

          Best tour we have ever done!
          This was my first time visiting Cairo and as we were only here for one full day, I wanted to make sure we made the most of it. We were collected from the doorstep of our hotel by Mimo (our guide) and Amr (our driver). This was one of the best tours we have ever done. There was no rushing and Mimo was happy to take as many photos as we wanted and to make as many stops as necessary (we had our four year old with us). He was very knowledgeable about Ancient Egypt and we learnt a lot of things that we would not have if we had not had him as a guide. Mimo and Amr also kindly took us back to a shop to get my partner’s necklace fixed as my daughter accidentally broke it. This really meant a lot and was so thoughtful of both of them to go out of their way. I would 100% recommend booking a tour with Mimo and Amr.

          Our guide Mahmoud Hoka was super knowledgeable on the history of Egypt and super attentive to everything we wanted to know or see. Also made a great photographer!

          Best tour guide ever!
          My boyfriend and I got the pleasure of spending the day with our amazing guide Mimo, as well as his driver Amr who was always on time and there when we needed. Mimo was an extremely friendly guide who is so passionate about the history of his country Egypt and made the experience unforgettable! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best trip around the beauties of Egypt 😊

          Whistle stop tour of Cairo’s best bits!
          What an excellent tour! Everything went really smoothly and in keeping with our requests despite it being Ramadan and needing pick up from the airport which meant some juggling of the normal running order for the day. We had excellent communication from the tour company in the lead up to our big day and our guide and Egyptologist, Mahmoud, was at all times professional, engaging, extremely knowledgable and passionate about showing off the various sites. The museum was a fantastic insight into the ingenuity and culture of the ancient Egyptians but for me the highlight had to be the pyramids - an archaeological miracle with a bit of fun thrown in by riding a camel which is not to be missed ! As has been mentioned in other reviews, we’ve come away with amazing memories thanks to Mahmoud’s other skill as a photographer! Highly recommend the trip and our guide and driver.

          A must do
          Mimo was our tour guide and Amr was our driver. They were punctual in picking us up and Mimo was so knowledgeable about Egypt and the places we went to. We did so much. From seeing the Pyramids of Giza, the sphinx, seeing artwork, oils and Spices plus going to the bazaar markets. It was definitely worth it and the Lunch we had by the Pyramids was absolutely delicious. We felt safe and accommodated for. Highly recommend this trip if you come to cairo!

          Outstanding private tour
          An incredible experience with Mimo and his driver Emad. From the first minute to the last of our all-day tour our private guide Mimo was fantastic. Enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable, Mimo taught us so much about Egypt across the day and we never once felt rushed. Our driver Emad was excellent and this experience was the highlight of our Cairo holiday. I couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough. Absolutely incredible value. Mimo, a family man, was so friendly also taught us so much about modern day Egypt, and some recent history too. A fabulous day we’ll never forget! To cap it all off Mimo and Emad returned to our hotel to drop off a watch we had accidentally left in the back of the car. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!

          Amazing day in Cairo
          Had an amazing day in Cairo. Travelling solo and a little anxious but Mahmoud quickly put me at ease. His English was as good as mine!

          Mimo our tour guide and his driver Amr were top notch and amazingly amazing people/team🤩
          Friend of 25 years Birthday trip February 2025 This is our first time in Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬 to celebrate 🎊 my friend’s birthday! We had an awesome day! Amr drove us to every single place we needed to go while Mimo provided us with the information about each place or location! Mimo was also passionate about the history behind all of the sites that he guided us through; he provided valuable insights into the differences between Giza and Cairo; as well as the population dynamics of each that makes up Egypt. He also, guided us through the various cultural aspects both old and new! When it comes to the historical context of the pyramids, the sphinx and the museum his knowledge was breathtaking!! We were not rushed, we felt guarded, protected, educated and fed in our 8 hours tour and passed the time of the tour until we were escorted back to our hotel! Did I mention that lunch was a great part of his tour; our lunch was ordered before we got to the local restaurant that was rich in culture, architectural style and ambiance that truly made us feel welcome and appreciated! Sorry, I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was amazing 🤩 I must say he gave us the opportunity to choose what we felt comfortable in exploring during our tour whether we wanted to visit all such the papyrus; jewelry; Egyptian cotton and natural oils vendors! Did I mention that Mimo took most of the pictures we needed to memorialize our experiences on this tour 🇪🇬💜🇪🇬 He was truly an amazing person and guide 💜💜💜

          Best trip ever.
          When I thought about where to spend my birthday, the place that came to mind was Egypt because I wanted to see the pyramid, rid camel in the desert, and see all the different natural herbs and oils. I wanted a tour guide who was well deserved in the culture and history food, and Mimo was that person. I didn't feel rushed and I had the opportunity to redo any of the events I wanted to. He is very attentive, friendly, and speaks clear English. I would take him again when I return to Egypt in the future. The best trip ever. Book with him you won't be disappointed.

          Pyramids and Museum Private Tour
          Mimo (tour guide) and Amr (driver) were both very friendly and courteous. Amr shared his wealth of knowledge at all times and this was very informative. The camel ride at the Pyramids was a highlight and we also really enjoyed the museum. I would highly recommend Mimo and Amr to anyone looking for the most amazing day seeing the incredible sights!

          Really Memorable
          This tour was one of my favorites, during my sixteen days in Egypt. The guide provided a good overview of the huge old mosque, Ibn Tulun, and other sites we visited. The view from the minaret was fantastic. The City of the Dead portion provided insight into a way of life I'd never imagined, and we also visited a beautiful mausoleum and graves of some hugely significant Egyptians. Thank you!

          My guide Mimo is the best
          My tour guide Mimo is the best. He communicated with me before hand. He picked me up early from my hotel. He takes pride in being punctual. Two things I was looking forward to on this tour and I could not have had a better guide with them than Mimo. 1. He is very knowledgeable about Egyptology. He actually studied Egyptology in university. 2. I love taking pictures and videos. Mimo was great at taking my pictures and videos on this tour. He knows all the good places to take pictures. I am very happy that he was my guide. He was on time. Never rushed me at all. Explained everything very clearly and made the tour very fun. I would definitely book him again and would happily recommend him to anyone.

          Cairo private tour
          Mimo was our guide, photographer and body guard and we had such a great time! He listened to what we wanted to see and tailored the tour to that. We had a great time seeing Cairo and all the history it has to offer. Emad was our driver and got us safely around in all the crazy driving.

        The best thing I did while in Cairo! Sherif and a driver showed up right at 8am to my hotel. Sherif explained the day as we drove to Giza - making sure to explain significant buildings and landmarks as we drove. Once at the Giza Pyramid Complex, Sherif was very knowledgeable about the pyramids and Egyptian history. He was truly a professional and without me noticing until the end, he moved and talked all while keeping us in the shade and avoiding all the large tour bus groups. After the pyramids Sherif took me to the Papyrus Institute, Oil Factory then to a clothing store. We followed that up with traditional street food for lunch, which I had requested. We then drove to the Egyptian Museum where Sherif guided me through the entire museum, making sure to talk about every piece there. Next stop was the Bazaar where we ended the day with some tea in a small cafe. 100% recommend and make sure to ask for Sherif!

        This was such an amazing trip! Michael, our guide, was fantastic, really knowledgeable and all the logistics were first-rate and well-taken care of. The pyramids were amazing, then a few other local stops along with lunch from a local rooftop restaurant with a view of the pyramids. I can’t recommend Michael and then your highly enough.

        The tour guide collected me from my hotel at 7:30 am and it was great because the pyramids were quiet and there were hardly any other tourists.

        Definitely worth getting up early for, the guide was polite and very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend paying for this guide because every review I read about the pyramids warned of scams and harassment from some canvassers but my experience was stress free and amazing.

        Agenda was pyramids, I paid additional to go into the main chamber of the grand pteranodon and would recommend this for anyone able bodied and fairly fit. Included Sphinx, lunch and the museum. A big day but worth while and a day you won’t ever forget

        This tour was amazing! What we saw and learned in one day has exceeded our expectations and would definitely recommend this tour to those visiting Cairo for the first time. Our driver (Yasser) drove us comfortably and safely around to our different stops, and Amal Ammar was our tour guide. Her knowledge and expertise was more than what we could have expected.

        Gouda was fantastic. The driver and Gouda were consistently fantastic throughout the day. Gouda was courteous, friendly, funny, and above all, knowledgeable. He knew the answer to every question we asked and was able to help navigate us successfully through a wonderful exploration of the pyramids (and more) with zero stress. Highly recommended. Thank you.

        Michael was an Amazing guide.
        He was very knowledgeable and really patient as we asked many questions. We Would’ve loved for him to show us more about Egypt .We would have definitely without question asked him to be our Guide if we were there longer. He did a great Job teaching us about the history of the pyramids, and also the museum. Such a memorable experience.

        I don’t even know where to begin! Manar my tour guide and osama our driver were absolutely terrific! Manar was very detailed with information about the history of the pyramids all the way down to the museum. Everything was a smooth transition from the pyramids to riding camels and so forth and so on. I had an absolute blast and I wish I could have them be my tour guides for the rest of my stay in Egypt. This is def 5 stars! Thank you Manar and Os for a such a memorable trip!
        Ps Manar is a great photographer as well, I traveled solo and she took some very memorable pictures for me!
