Breath taking experience - Memphis, Sakkara pyramids and the pyramids of Giza - Our second day in Cairo was breath taking with Habeba! We started at Memphis and saw the amazing statue of Ramses II. Next we visited the Sakkara pyramids and had our Indiana Jones moment when going inside one of the pyramids. We experienced the pyramids of Giza in so many ways, first outside, then inside, with camels and last with atv bikes. The last part was definitely the highlight of the whole trip if you ask my teenagers. We ended our day with a dinner cruise at the Nile. Habeba is truly friendly, kind and such a lovely person. We loved every moment with her. Thank you so much for arranging everything for us and making our trip perfect! ❤️

Great day tour to museum and citadel - Abdo was an exceptional tour guide. He was very knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. He took pictures for us, we had easy access to the museum and the Citadel, went to an amazing spice shop and had a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour and if you can get Abdo.

BEST TOUR EVER!! I would simply hire Mo. - Mo salah (mo) is an Egyptian Historian, trustworthy, friendly, and kind tour guide that I wanted to hire a second time. He speaks fluent English and Arabic and some Portuguese. Our driver Saeed (means “heavy”) is an amazing driver. We didn’t die in typical Cairo traffic and that says A LOT about Saeed’s skills in dodging camels, donkeys, horses, and tuktuk’s (not to mention suicidal maniacs cross several “lanes” of traffic). So exciting! I had an extra 6 hours and a general sense to see interesting buildings,and real Cairo streets that are walkable. Mo instantly put together the perfect custom private tour of Islamic Cairo and Coptic Cairo. He works for “Door Travel Agency” that helped. Holy Cow, we saw a lot! And I had a ball! Starting at the citadel to see the Mosque of Mosque of Muhammad Ali (Alabaster Mosque) which was MIND BLOWING, and the Al-Nassar Mohammed Mosque. After views of the city, right below the citadel are 2 more mosques we visited. Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan were Obama was overwhelmed by its beauty (the wood working is amazing), then the Al-Rafa’i Mosque (tomb of the kings). We walked Al Moezz Street, grabbed a Sobia (so good), then went to Cotica to see the hanging church and the Caden church before lunch with Egyptian food. The level of information Mo gave all along was perfect in that it was informative and interesting. He leveraged his local contacts to get us to private areas that the public could not go. He knew when to visit to avoid crowds. He is really the best guide I’ve had. He’s intelligent as he used to be a translator, teacher and really is a responsive and clear communicator. I wouldn’t look further. Just hire Mo and Saeed and tune your private tour with them because WOW! I’m picky and I tried to find some negatives but the price was very fair and we even made a couple other personal stops for me. They are so accommodating and wonderful, both of them.

Amazing day with an amazing guide in Cairo - Khalefa was an amazing tour guide and gave us a very memorable day in Cairo. We saw amazing sites that started with the Coptic churches and then was followed with an amazing tour of the new Egyptian civilization museum. Khalefa helped us effectively navigate the museum and made sure we saw the most interesting exhibits. After, we traveled to the citadel and mosque where he helped us take some amazing photos and taught us much about the Islamic history of Cairo. Finally, he helped us navigate the markets and showed us where to find some of the most interesting items and food. Khalefa took very good care of us every step of the way and went out of his way several times to make our day most enjoyable. I highly recommend Khalefa for any experience in Cairo.

Awesome tour - This was a great tour with lots of information. At beginning of tour wael (my guide) and I started talking bout what I have done and what plans were for week. And since my tour had included tour of Coptic area and another tour later in week, he gave me option of skipping that part of the tour and doing something else instead. I really appreciated that him and Ahmad (my driver) would do that. It made that tour much more enjoyable and was more of a better value. Wael was great, we just moved along in our own pace and didn’t feal rushed.
