    What a great experience!
    Gamal was so knowledgeable about Egyptian history. He took time to answer all of our questions. Hoka was an amazing driver and got us to all of our locations safely.

    Awesome trip visiting great pyramids, sphinx and saqueara area thanks in big part to our guide Mimo and driver Mohamed. Very glad it was a private trip which allowed flexibility ans to customize options.

    Amazing day tour
    Our tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was Nashat and he told us so much of the history at each place we visited, plus just overall helping us navigate the souvenir buying process.
    We went to so many cool places and a couple that weren’t on the itinerary but so cool - the carpet school and papyrus making place. 10/10 would recommend

    Very organized and informative tour.
    The guide was very informative and gave ample time to roam freely and take pictures. Everything was organized, moving from each point fluidly. It was easy to navigate through the airport and find the drivers.

    One of the most amazing experiences of my life! For those enamored with Egyptian history and great food/company! :)
    I had one of the most amazing days of my life in Luxor with Shereen (our guide) and Ramadan (our driver). We had only two full days in Cairo, and I am so grateful that I chose to do this with my mom and boyfriend on the second day. The day was breathtaking and full of interesting facts from our knowledgable guide, the lunch was undoubtedly the best I had in Egypt, and even our transfers in Cairo (I think Hakieme/Fares but hard to remember so many names) were the best and went above and beyond to make us feel extremely safe. Shereen also took some great pictures of us at popular spots which was super sweet! This tour is awesome, if you are on the fence, book it! :)

    Go with Nevin!
    We lucked out in booking a tour with Nevin, who is the friendliest and most knowledgeable guide imaginable. From the first, we felt like we were with a friend, albeit a friend with a thorough understanding of the history and present of this amazing country, and who has the street smarts and connections to navigate the tricky relationships with officials that can make or break a tour. Plus she knows Egyptian food like no one else, and she introduced us to a “dynamic lunch,” a mixture of falafel, fuul, hummus and veggies on the most delicious bread we’ve ever eaten, purchased (safely, no negative consequences) from the very atmospheric streets of Giza. She is the best!

    Fantastic experience! Very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guides with hotel pickup and definitely worth doing. I did the pyramids, camel rides, quad bikes, nile dinner cruise and would highly recommend to anyone in Cairo.

    This was our first time in Egypt and wanted to see all of the most popular sites in one day. They were able to accommodate that
    Great company. Very knowledgeable, showed us everything we wanted to see with no pressure. Also had a great buffet lunch on the rooftop with great views.

    Fantastic tour guide in air conditioned comfort!
    This tour was fantastic! Completely seamless from start to finish. With air conditioned comfort between each landmark, Nagwan our guide, provided expert commentary at every stage and invited and answered all our questions in a thoughtful, warm and interesting manner. We got really lucky landing such a terrific tour and I highly recommend this to singles, couples, groups and families alike!

    Amazing trip
    I have booked a Cairo, Abu Simbel, Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor and back to Cairo tour including 3 nights Nile cruise and flights Cairo to Aswan and Luxor to Cairo.

    The temples were absolutely beautiful, I enjoyed the tour very much! The drivers were professionals, and Ahmed Haggag was amazing! He is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, has in-depth knowledge of the history of Egypt, explained in great detail each site, was very efficient, professional, organized, accommodating my needs and preferences. I had enough time to explore and take photos and my endless questions were answered in great detail.

    I enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!

    You'll learn and see more of the city than you'll ever expect.
    The driver, Iman, was very hospitable and willing to stop along the way to Alexandria for food and coffee. He gave knowledge of the areas along the way, which was very informative. The tour guide, Jean, blew my mind of how much he knew about Alexandria. Just about EVERY building we passed, he knew who built it, what year, and why. I felt as though we covered every square inch of the city. If I could give more stars, I definitely would.

    A magnificent dive into Ancient Egypt
    We had a wonderful day with our guide Asmaa! She's a really prepared guide that puts all her passion in the explanation of Ancient Egypt history; it's clearly visible that she loves her job.
    We visited all the places listed in the description (Giza's pyramids, Saqqara, Dashur, Memphis) without any hurry or push by the guide. The explainations of the monuments were always clear and very detailed; Asmaa wants to be sure that you understand the Egyptian history and so she's available also to repeat it 3-4 times :D
    I really hope that you will be lucky to have Asmaa as guide!
    A mention also to the driver that was very very kind; everytime he opened the car door to my girlfriend and furthermore he has gifted to us some gadgets in order to remember that day.
    To conclude just one advice: have a good breakfast because it will be a really busy and "full" day 😁

    Taster Tour of Alexandria
    This day tour from Cairo gave us a great look at Alexandria. My highlights were the catacombs and the Library of Alexandria. I would also highly recommend paying and extra US$15 for the seafood lunch. Our guide, Ayoub, was charming, funny and made the whole experience well worth it

    Great trip, amazing value for money
    Ahead Gaber was our guide and he was really helpful and gave us a lot of information, particularly in the museaum. No hard sell either. Still amazed at everything we managed to fit in the day - the pyramids, camel ride, a really good lunch, some shops and the museaum
