We love Ahmed and Hassan! - We had Ahmed Rezk as our tour guide and Hassan as our driver. Needless to say, they were amazing. Ahmed was so knowledgeable about Egypt and its history. He also speaks great English! I have food allergies, and he ensured that everything i ate was safe for me. The AC in the van was also a huge plus!

Absolutely Brilliant Cairo Tour with Mohamed Sobhy - Mohamed Sobhy has done a fantastic job showing us around Cairo visiting sites such as the Saqqara Pyramids and Giza Pyramids. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly making the today’s trip 10 out of 10. He is also brilliant and taking photos and showing us all the beautiful spots around Cairo. We look forward to our last day when we see him again for our final excursions. Thank you Mohamed Sobhy!!!

Great tour of Giza and Alexandria with Eman - Egypt Tours Portal organized a great trip to see the Pyramids in Giza and the sights in Alexandria. The team organizing the logistics was always responsive and sorted out all the necessary steps to make sure it was a seamless trip to/from our hotel.
For the tours we were joined by Eman who is a tour guide - we highly recommend her: she was a great host, her English is great, she provides a lot of color/ details at all the sights, and she helped us navigate the lines/ crowds/ security smoothly.

Amazing experience with Eman! - We've spent the first few days of our Egypt travels in Cairo and nearby areas, and we were lucky enough to spend most of that time with the incredible Ms. Eman Mustafa. She is so knowledgeable, professional, and kind, and also made our entire entry and transition into Egypt the first few days so easy. Eman has an incredible command of Egyptian history, and is such a wealth of information. We felt privileged to spend the early part of our travels with her, she so enriched our time at the Pyramids and the start of our trip as a whole. We can't wait to return to Cairo and hopefully have her as our guide again in the very near future. Anyone who books this tour, you'll be lucky to get Eman as your guide!

Perfect Guide for the Pyramids! - Our guide Ahmed Refaat and our driver Adel were amazing in providing us a tour of the Pyramids! Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable and made sure to provide us a huge amount of historical context for the Pyramids that you normally would not be able to find elsewhere and it was fascinating learning all of the history in addition to seeing the Pyramids themselves. Ahmed even went above and beyond in taking care of us, providing us water and local drinks to ensure we weren't thirsty and lending us his sunglasses when it was peak brightness outside. Would definitely recommend Ahmed for anyone who is interested in having a spectacular tour of the Pyramids!

Cairo private tour - It was a very nice experience seeing the Pyramids and temples first time. The sites are amazing although the weather is really hot!
Ahmed Rezk is a good guide and explained the historical background well.
