A superb, in-depth and comfortable tour of the Pyramids! Highly recommend! - Marco was our guide, and he was exceptional. Having read a lot about the hit or miss nature of Egypt’s tourism, I came in to the country a little on guard due to some of the stories you hear online. Marco immediately dispelled all worries and fear and with his professional knowledge and passion for Egypt’s rich history. He not only gave us the service we expected, but more. As he is a Qualified Egyptologist, he had up-to-date knowledge and knew all the secret spots and locations that other tour guides may lack. The biggest compliment I can give him however, is that he made us feel at home despite travelling across the world where English is not spoken freely. If you are interested in an in-depth tour with a knowledgeable guide and are especially intrigued by the history here in Egypt; look no further. Marco is your man!

Perfect tour for First Day in Cairo - Terrific tour. I was picked up at my hotel, and then taken to the museum. From there met my guide and off we went. I love taking private tours. You can customize to your liking and don’t have to wait for hoards of people to move in one direction. Afterwards, went on a private boat ride, and when they found out, I was a sailor, they allowed me to sell the boat single handed. That was an awesome experience. And again I didn’t have to deal with crowds. Overall- a perfect first day in Cairo

Wonderful trip! - I think it is so nice to see around with the guide such as Marco. He knew all the best spots. Also he helps you to understand the culture of modern and ancient Egypt. He has a massive knowledge about ancient period of Egypt and also he knows muslim and christian periods. Most importantly he is a great photographer. We had a very good driver , his name is Muhammed! There is a crazy traffic here and find some one like Muhammed Ali to fight with it.

Trip with Yazmin - Yasmin our guide was brilliant, she arrived on time and gave us a good overview of the GEM and spent time explaining the key items of interest. Yasmin ensured we were able to see the Tutkankamun immersive exhibition which was very good, however if you suffer from dizzy spells or vertigo this is not for you! The experience was true to its description in that the museum is only fractionally open- great if you are really interested.

The amazing Marco - Marco our tour guide was amazing and gave us an incredible visit to the Egyptian Museum highlighting all the incredible artefacts of special interest to us. Marco made the history come alive for my 10year old grandson. I would recommend asking for Marco if you visit as his knowledge seems infinite.

Marco is the best tour guide! - It was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. We were at the pyramids and in the museum and experienced so much about the history and culture. Marco is the best tour guide you can imagine. Anyone who flies to Egyten and doesn't book it is making a huge mistake! The whole day was simply fantastic! I would give 7 stars instead of 5 if it were possible! Thank u Marco for everything! :) And thank u for the amazing biscuits ;)

Great tour - Marco was great and very knowledgeable. With his education and background we felt privileged to have his insights. Marco’s knowledge of Egyptian history was thorough and although it may be straightforward for him it wowed us when he started reading the hieroglyphics on the statues and explaining the story and history behind them.
