Private Full Day Tour - Egypt - Naseer took such time in making sure we had a memorable experience. From his knowledge of the history, making sure we were accompanied to banks, lunch, shopping and whatever we needed. The BEST Guide in Egypt!!!

amazing tour, beautiful mosque - I have always think that Islam is the most misunderstood religion these days, so i booked the Islamic tour to get to know it better. had a great time with the tour guide Ahmed El-Kadi, he is so knowledgeable about the history and is very open to having a honest conversation about how life is like in Egypt and showed me what egypt hospitality is like.

Great tour but tons of sales! - Loved this tour by Nasir our guide and Abdullah our driver. Nasir was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. I cannot say enough about all the amazing people we met... such a friendly and caring people! One of the many reasons we enjoyed our time in Egypt! Loved the Egyptian people and their amazing hospitality Nasir reached out on WhasApp 24hrs prior to the trip to confirm the time and met us promptly. Actually he was there 15mins prior to the scheduled time, which didn't allow us to have our coffee. So he took us to an authentic Egyptian coffee shop and that was an amazing experience. Nasir was full of knowledge and shared extensively. He was very patient and took good photos as well. I would definitely recommend this to all but will warn all about the extensive sales pressuring. The first detour we had was to an essential oils factory. The prices were decent but I am not sure about the quality. After using it couple of times at home, we are not sure if it was a good deal! The second detour was to the papyrus museum and thanks to my wife, we didn't purchase everything! If not for sales pitch, I would have definitely rated this five star. In summary, great tour with experienced and knowledgeable guides. Only downside is the sales detours. Thank you Nasir and Abdullah
