A day in Cairo we will never forget — Exploring ancient history, living culture,, and sacred sites with Max! - We had the most wonderful experience touring Cairo with our guide **Max**, locally known as **Mohsen Hassan**. From the moment we met him, his warmth, professionalism, and deep passion for Egypt’s history were evident. As a qualified Egyptologist, Max didn’t just share facts — he brought history to life in a way that was engaging, insightful, and truly memorable. Our tour included the **Egyptian Museum**, **Khan El Khalili Bazaar**, **Saladin Citadel**, the **Coptic Church**, and a thoughtfully curated local lunch suited to our palate. This was our first visit to Egypt, and we were traveling as a family with our two sons. Max ensured that everyone felt included, engaged, and comfortable throughout the day, regardless of age. At the Egyptian Museum, Max expertly guided us through the most significant artifacts, clearly explaining their historical and archaeological importance while keeping the visit well paced and never overwhelming. He patiently answered all our questions and explained why certain culturally significant pieces remain here despite the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum — making this visit a must. Khan El Khalili was a highlight. Arriving early allowed us to experience the bazaar as it came to life. Max explained the layout, traditions, and best spots to pause for refreshments. Sitting in a 200-year-old coffee shop enjoying mint tea and local coffee was a truly authentic moment. At the beautiful Saladin Citadel and the unique Coptic Church, Max explained the cultural and religious significance with clarity and sensitivity. He also helped us take beautiful family photos and shared valuable local tips for exploring on our own. Max is more than a guide — he is a storyteller and gracious host. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Cairo, especially families seeking an authentic and enriching experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The program is quite... - The program is quite busy, fortunately we had already visited the Tahrir National Museum, so we had enough time for other visits. Our Francophone guide was excellent. We recommend this excursion as a visit to important points, the next day we returned alone to make additional visits.

Dundee and co in Cairo - Fantastic tour thank you Asmaa. We have learnt here that the difference between a good tour and a fantastic tour is the guide. Asmaa is a wealth of knowledge and very passionate about her city, her country and her heritage. We came away from this tour with a great understanding of everything we had seen, visited and experienced in a day. Highly recommended tour and we highly recommended Asmaa.

Unforgettable - We called on Mohamed’s services for the family visit to Cairo with our son who is 5 years old. The explanations, in French, were perfect for us 3 as well as for his accompaniment beyond the planned visits. Again thank you for everything and we recommend Mohamed the guide and Mohamed the driver for these memories.
