About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- JillClardy0 contributionsBeautiful & Peaceful SiteWe arrived here mid-morning and had the site to ourselves for most of our visit. There are no crowds, no hawkers, no camels, and no one bothering you at all while you admire the design of this wonderful, unique pyramid. It’s so quiet that you can imagine it as a suitable resting spot for a king.Written March 7, 2020
- Sulalaki0 contributionsTwo day private Cairo tourWe had Yasser as our two day Cairo tour guy. He was very knowledgeable, took us to Cairo museum, pyramids, churches, and Memphis. We learned a lot from him. Definitely would recommended him as a tour guide for Cairo to help tailor made your experiences.Written January 4, 2020
- jerrellwilcox0 contributionsEducation on ancient Egyptian culture and infrastructureI stayed in Giza for a little over a week and this was arguably the most fun I had. Getting to be up close to the pyramids, going in one, and getting educated on the ancient culture of Giza, Memphis, and Sakkara was a priceless memory. I had the perfect guide and driver. They both felt like instant friends. I learned so much and had great conversation with Yasser, the guide, and Ahmed, the driver. Yasser has deep knowledge on the history and the area. Ahmed made the ride very smooth and enjoyable. I can’t say enough about the two of them. Lunch was provided near Sakkara which was great. The service, the people and the food were perfect. I recommend them both for this tour; they work well together and I don’t think you can have a better time with anyone else! Thank you Yasser! 🙏🏾Written January 1, 2020
- redhoteggplant0 contributionsExtraordinary sights and tour guideDr. Yasser was an amazingly knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. We went to the pyramids in Giza, a papyrus shop, a perfumery, and the national museum. He shared about the history of the pyramids and museum artefacts in great detail, and could answer any questions. Go with Dr. Yasser if you want to leave these places with a much better understanding of these monuments and itemsWritten December 16, 2019
- egy2308970 contributionsVery knowledgeable and friendly Egyptologist!I'm Egyptian and I had two foreign college friends visit asking to see the pyramids and the museum. I reached out to Dr. Yasser since I wouldn't be able to give historical context to the visits. I can say that my friends and I learnt a lot during this trip! He answered all of our queations and gave interestibg details that we wouldn't have else noticed such as details in architecture! Would highly recommendWritten December 16, 2019
- andydN2544ID0 contributionsTwo day tour to Coptic Cairo, Museum, Giza, Sphinx, Memphis, & SaqqarahYasser's knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible. He answered all of our questions and took his time to explain every detail. Other tours were rushed but he made sure we went at our own pace to take in all aspects of the pyramids and artifacts. Yasser also made sure we fulfilled specific requests we had, such as visiting specific jewelry shops and making it to the Hard Rock Cafe! Yasser and our driver made us feel safe and at home in Cairo. He even arranged for a handler to meet us prior to immigration to expedite the immigration and customs process. Our flight landed at 5:00am and after we left the airport made sure we ate and had coffee at a local shop close to Tahrir Square. Our entire experience was wonderful. When we come back we will definitely be calling him.Written December 15, 2019
- City97080 contributionsExcellent Tour!!!The amazing trip with a Egyptologist. The entire experience of Giza’s pyramid would be totally different if we do not your with him. He is so knowledgable and gives you historical context to fully understand and enjoy the pyramid.Written December 13, 2019
- thecreans0 contributionsHighly RrecommendedWow, wow, wow what an incredible day. Not only did we get to see the sites we wanted but we also got to visit the perfume and oil shop that we asked to go to. What I loved about this tour was that we weren't in a hurry like some of the other groups we saw. It rained and Yasser insisted that we wait for it to pass so we could get a good view of Giza - and it was worth it. On our return we won't go with anyone else.Written December 12, 2019
- Andrew L0 contributionsExcellent Tour Guide in Cairo!I had Yasser recommended to me from a friend who had recently traveled through Egypt and we were not disappointed in the least! Yasser was our guide for two days as we saw various sites in Cairo (including the Egyptian Museum and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali) as well as the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqarah and Memphis. Yasser was incredibly hospitable and so very knowledgeable on every topic. I highly recommend his guiding. Yasser also took a ton of great photos for us so we have lots to remember the trip by.Written December 6, 2019

- Stay707920 contributionsWonderful Cairo VisitI had the most wonderful five days in Cairo! Yasser Hamdy of Perfectour was an excellent guide - smart, knowledgeable, funny and conscientious! From the pyramids of Giza and Shaqqara to Alexandria, back to old Cairo (Christian and Islamic) and all the rest, my friend and I learned an extraordinary amount of information and had a ball doing it! It was really quite special to have a trained egyptologist show us around the magnificent mysteries that are Egypt. It was spectacular... My favorite place - the peace and wonder of Shaqqara. Oh, and the food we ate at the different restaurants to which Yasser took us was simply scrumptious! Many thanks, Yasser!Written March 12, 2019
- Karen H0 contributionsWonderful experience in Cairo, Giza and Alexandria.Yasser’s knowledge of Egypt is extensive. My friend and I ask lots of questions and he delievered answers without hesitation. He gave us room to be amazed at the sites and sounds of Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. The breathe of his expertise is astonishing. Additionally, he took time with us. Although we considered ourselves well versed in travel, he ensured we were safe in Cairo. Thanks Yasser for this amazing adventure. I will gladly and highly recommend you to anyone interested in a great small group experience in Egypt. You contributed to making this trip memorable.Written March 11, 2019
- shobbyv0 contributionsFriendly, professional and highly knowledgeableYasser was our guide in Egypt and Ghiza during our visit in Jan-2019. He has a Masters in Egyptology and pursuing his Doctorate and this explains his in-depth knowledge about Egyptian history. Since we were on a short trip, he took us to the most important places and ensured we get to know local food, markets etc. Also, he was very curious to know about Indian culture and customs, which was so refreshing to see. It seemed more like a cultural exchange trip :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Written February 10, 2019
