Much more than a guide, a wonderful person.

Highly recommended! Yasser is a fantastic, reliable, and very friendly guide. We spent two wonderful days with him in Egypt. The only downside? Not having met him from the first day! A special thanks to this beautiful country and an immense thanks to Yasser, an exceptional guide but above all a very good person. If you go to Egypt, trust him!

Best Cario shopping experience you could ask for

Our tour with Essam was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and took us to the best shopping places where he ensured we did not overpay. We attempted to Khan El Khalili ourselves the day before and missed so much. Essam made our night and as a bonus he also knew so much about all Egyptian history so we learned a lot. Our driver mohamaed was also spot on with the driving. An incredible experience and would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful tour with Essam

Essam was a spectacular tour guide! He was so friendly and provided us so much knowledge. He was also very flexible with our tour as there were a couple things we had already seen. 10/10!
