A jam packed day sight-seeing in Cairo

We had a fantastic tour guide and driver for our group of 5 women traveling together. Mohammed shifted the itinerary based on our interests. While the tour suggests a length of 7-10 hours, these two spent more than 11 hours with us answering our endless questions and showing us around this amazing, historic city. I could not recommend him more highly.

Great layover private tour

We probably had the best guide, Sayed Mahmoud, and driver, Wayeed. Firstly, forgot my laptop bag at the airport and they calmly drove us back to find it, which I did. In true Egyptian hospitality, Sayed took us through all the areas we visited. Enjoyed the fact that he allowed us to go at our own pace and also really went above and beyond in introducing us to Egyptian history and culture. And he is an awesome photographer.

Best tour with Ehab hoba

Ehab Hoba was the best tour guide. He gave great background on every location and knew all the best places for a photo op. The car was clean & both the guide and driver (Ibrahim) were very friendly. In one day we covered the pyramids, sphinx, Memphis, the citadel and Al Azar Park. My friend recommended Ehab to me and I am very happy I took her advice.

The Best Tour Guides!

I had the perfect Egyptian experience with this tour company. I had very little time in between flights, even though my layover was from one day until the other. I had only have the morning to go to the pyramids and explore a little bit. I realized that my option was not going by myself so I explored a little bit and I found this company on the Internet. I booked my tour less than 12 hours before it started and to be honest it was the best decision! They pick me up exactly on time at 8:00 am and I also explained them that I had to be back at the hotel at noon. From that point on they accommodated each of the steps of the tour to be able to be back on time. My guide, Mohammed, an egyptologist, did a great explanation of all the details of the pyramids, the sphinx and the valley of the dead. when I come back to Egypt with my family this is the company I will use for sure to take us back there. You should too.
