BEST EVER TOUR GUIDE - If you want a great tour, you need a great tour guide. If you want a great tour guide, you need a great person. Nevine our tour guide was the greatest person we met. She was friendly, caring, knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted. She made the tour perfect for us. She even took the perfect photos for us everywhere we went. She was prepared with plenty water, cooldrinks, snacks and food. Best of all she drove us around to show us the real lifestyle of the local people. Will definitely book with her again.

Perfect your if you only have 1 day - We really enjoyed our tour. We had one day in Cairo and needed to make the most of it. We accomplished camel rides, the museum, went inside a pyramid, and a papyrus shop. Kids enjoyed the tour and we loved our AC shuttle.

A Deeply Insightful Journey Into Egyptian History - Being a lover of ancient history, I booked a solo tour so I could focus intensely on the many sights and artifacts that I have always wanted to see in Cairo. Essam is one of the greatest tour guides I have ever had. Booking a private tour with him was an absolute delight. He is an acclaimed professor, Egyptologist, and archaeologist. His expert findings are featured in the Egyptian Museum including four mummies he unearthed at Sakkara. His knowledge of Egyptian history is amazing. As an ancient history major at an Ivy League level university in the United States, my knowledge was already at a very high level, but Essam’s knowledge of Egyptology far exceeded my own. We had in-depth talks about the Ptolemaic dynasty, the Golden Age of Egypt, King Tut, Ramses II, Anthony and Cleopatra, Thebes, Luxor, Karnak, Memphis, hieroglyphics, etc. His expert knowledge is unparalleled. Men looking to impress their wives/girlfriends would do well to book this private tour. This tour if perfect for academics, history lovers, CEOs, big shots, families with older children, and anyone who doesn’t want to be in big group of people sweating with an idiot for a guide. Essam is the best guide you will find anywhere, and this is coming from someone who has travelled to over 50 countries and done countless tours. Arm yourself with a little knowledge though beforehand, because this tour is not for children or people who don’t know anything at all about Egypt. This is an in-depth tour from an expert guide with superior knowledge.

Outstanding & Must Do Tour in Cairo - OUTSTANDING! I wonder if we lucked out or if everyone is this lucky but our guide (Essam) and driver were fantastic! Our guide confirmed the night before and was waiting in the lobby 10 minutes early so when we arrived he was ready to go. Once we got in the car he explained the day ahead and that we’d have showing us everything plus our driver would be with us all day to pick us up at each spot. We were initially surprised when he said we’d be going to the Egyptian Museum first but once we got there we realized it was because there is no AC there! The museum was incredible (huge bonus that some of his archaeological findings were in the museum) and he did the perfect amount of explaining highlights and cool stories without going too in the weeds. The day included a tour of the paper museum, local snack, aromatic shop, pyramids, and another couple of stops. Everything was timed just right and we felt like we got the perfect diverse entry to Cairo and the pyramids. Essam also took some great photos and thoroughly explained some of the scams and daily life in Cairo so that we knew what to expect. Overall this was a great tour that we’d highly recommend.

Fascinating history with a wonderful guide - We visited the pyramids for our 20th wedding anniversary and had a fabulous trip. Our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable about the history of the pharaoh and the pyramids. A highlight for me was to be able to go into the tomb of King Teti and see the stars. A traditional Egyptian lunch of Koshari was included and was very tasty. I would recommend the tour for any history lovers who want to learn more about the fascinating history of the ancient Egyptians

Awesome experience with Marco our tour guide - I highly recommend this trip with Marco our tour guide. His intimate knowledge of everything ancient Egypt and antiquities was fantastic. He gave us a real authentic experience. We got to see things normally closed to the public, ate at traditional restaurants without all the tourists. Same goes for when we wanted to go shopping. In a nutshell Marco made our trip one to remember, so much so I want to come back again because we couldn’t fit it all in. Thank you Marco for all your planning and making this an experience of a lifetime!

We had a tour in the pyramids ,Abu alhoul and we visited more than one mosque with her . She explained everything for is in full detail . And I advise everyone to book with this company because they have good transportation (new cars) and very affordable prices.

An amazing day tour, highly recommended! - Nevin was a great guide for the day. She was flexible in her approach to match our travel / sightseeing style and preferences, and had some great suggestions to maximise our time. We visited in the off-peak period (summer) which meant less crowds. It was hot but Nevin always had the car ready with aircon and cold water. It was definitely worthwhile doing the full day trip to experience the pyramids, hieroglyphics and tombs outside of Giza, plus a delicious lunch. Highly recommended!
