Great experience with a very knowledgeable guide. In addition they were able to be very accommodating for other items we wanted to include on the itinerary.
This was a really great experience. Our guide Hazem, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and was very happy to answer all our questions. He spoke very good english and was very kind, helping my elderly mother navigate through the sites we visited. I highly recommend this tour!
The guide Martina contacted us the evening before the tour which is very helpful to arrange for meeting time and place. The driver and guide were punctual the morning of the tour. The day was seamless. The car was comfortable and we got to see and do everything we wanted. I highly recommend this tour and Martina as a guide.
Muhammad and Ihab were the BEST! His English was perfect, he had excellent knowledge of Egyptian history, knew where to linger and where to speed up. He is an amazing Egyptologist!
We spent almost one full day to visit the Giza site and we had also a quick visit to Memphis. We suggest to arrive at site opening to enjoy the visit we less visitors and, if you want to enter in the Cheope pyramid, ask to do as first, buying tickets at entrance, and then visit the exteriors ( there is a lunch stop between 12-13). Memphis is a small site, with two/three masterpieces: it's worthwhile if you have spare time. The Guide Hazem is a professional with licence and is willing to follow your needs and interests. He speaks good English and he explains clearly the essential, without telling fancy stories as lots of guides do. In brief, we suggest to book this tour
Khaled was exceptional, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about Egypt’s history. He brought the Pyramids to life and made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!
This trip was amazing as it is a once a lifetime experience for my family and I. We were guided by Hazem who was exceptionally good as a guide. He spoke English well and explained the history of Egypt clearly. He is also patience and kind. Would recommend him and this trip for others who would like to explore Cairo.
Hazem was our tour guide and he was extremely informative along our tour of the Pyramids and other adventures. He was also accommodating to our travel needs, since we landed the same day as the tour. It was a wonderful day
The tour was great! Our guide Tarik was amazing, very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. He also takes great photos ;). It was very nice and comfortable to have a private driver. Our driver Abdul was great. We highly recommend this tour!
The service and attention are excellent, they removed all doubts and deliver all the details. Good vehicles, but by far the most important thing; an excellent and first-rate guide with a perfect Spanish, a true teacher and the last Pharaoh, Samir. 100% recommended.
