Hazem is a very knowledgeable guide and we did had a great time with him. He took care of my aged parents and was very patient to explain everything and answer to our question. Thanks for again and I strongly recommend!
I booked this as a solo traveler and had an excellent experience with Hosny. He listened to what I was interested in and personalized the day, including a couple of extra stops along the way. He shared great historical context at the Egyptian Museum and in Coptic Cairo, and he made the bazaar portion enjoyable and straightforward. Everything was well organized and comfortable. Highly recommended.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding – Deluxe Tours Egypt & our guide Hassan We booked Deluxe Tours Egypt for two days in Cairo, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire trip. As a slightly anxious traveller who had heard all the horror stories about Cairo’s chaos and safety, I can honestly say the experience couldn’t have been smoother, safer, or more enjoyable. From the moment we were picked up in a private minibus by our driver and our guide Hassan, we felt completely looked after. Hassan stayed with us the entire time – not hovering, just quietly making sure everything was easy, comfortable, and fun. Day 1: Cairo Highlights We visited the brand‑new museum, the historic churches of Cairo, and wandered through the Islamic streets and markets. Hassan joined us inside the museum and brought everything to life with his incredible knowledge. Our boys (11 and 13) have a limited attention span – as all kids do – and he was brilliant at noticing when they were drifting and switching pace or topic to keep them engaged. They loved asking him questions, and he answered every single one with patience, humour, and genuine enthusiasm. He took us to a local lunch spot that ended up being one of the highlights of the day. And importantly: no upselling, no pressure, no “shopping detours.” He asked once, we said no, and that was that. His only agenda was showing us the best of Cairo, and he did exactly that. His pride in his country and its history shines through in the best possible way. Day 2: The Pyramids Another phenomenal day. Seeing the pyramids is unforgettable on its own, but having Hassan with us made it even better. Everything was organised, relaxed, and completely stress‑free. Walking through the streets on Day 1 was a bit overwhelming at times – as Cairo can be – but we felt safe and supported throughout. Hassan and our driver created a bubble of calm around us, which made it possible to enjoy the cultural experience instead of worrying about it. In short: Deluxe Tours Egypt delivered exactly what we hoped for and more. Hassan was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and absolutely fantastic with our kids. We felt safe, informed, and genuinely cared for at all times. We highly recommend this company and especially Hassan. It truly couldn’t have been better.
We had an excellent experience with our guide, Hazem. We are a group of 3. Hazem is very enthusiastic and always explaining all the historic and architectonic details. He adapts also to your preferences. For example he brought us to eat to authentic Egyptian places that we really enjoyed. He takes care that you enjoy and understand everything of his explanations. Highly recommended,
When I booked this Day Tour of Cairo (Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar), I admit I was preparing for a long, perhaps boring day. To my surprise, the entire experience turned out pleasantly wonderful, thanks entirely to my guide, Hazem from Deluxe Travel Egypt! Hazem is an exceptional, dedicated Egyptologist. His expertise on the Egyptian Museum’s content was truly next-level. He didn't just rattle off facts; he provided such fascinating stories and rich historical context that I was completely captivated. I was so engrossed in the information that I didn't take a single picture inside—I was too busy taking everything in and enjoying the history come to life. Hazem managed the itinerary flawlessly, and his passion made the visit to Coptic Cairo and the bustling Bazaar a joy. He took a tour I expected to simply endure and made it the highlight of my trip. If you want a guide who can make history genuinely immersive and fun, choose Hazem!
We loved everything about it. Mo was very knowledgeable and friendly. He really helped us have a better understanding of the history/religious background. He navigated the museum very well and was extremely helpful training us how to barter at Khan Al Kalili.
We had a fantastic private tour in Cairo with our guide, Zizou! From the moment we met him, he was warm, welcoming, and very professional. He shared fascinating insights about Egypt’s history and culture in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. We visited the Egyptian Museum, the Coptic churches, and the market, and Zizou made each stop meaningful and enjoyable. What we appreciated most was his professionalism— he always made sure we were comfortable, gave us time to explore at our own pace, and was happy to answer all our questions. We also appreciated that he wasn’t pushy with shopping stops and let us decide. Zizou is clearly passionate about his country and his work, and it shows. We highly recommend booking a tour with him — it made our Cairo experience truly memorable!
A fascinating tour of the highlights of Coptic and Islamic Cairo including the Hanging Church, the Mohammed Ali mosque, the famous Al Muizz Street, the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Museum of Islamic Art. We were picked up from our hotel on time and our driver (Omar) was brilliant at negotiating the somewhat unpredictable Cairo traffic! Our incredibly knowledgeable guide Zizou took us on a journey through 2000 years and explained the key historical and religious developments brilliantly. He tailored the day to our wishes and we highly recommend a tour with him.
Zizou and Ehab Our trip today was amazing. 🤩 We went to the Egyptian museum saw so many intriguing things. Zizou was so knowledgeable and shared all the best highlights. We went to many churches and a synagogue and ended the day at the bazar. Without him we would have been lost. Ehab picked us up and dropped us off at every destination with a smile. I would highly recommend bothers guys. Truly one of the best experiences. Lunch was also delicious.
