Amazing Egypt Experience - I loved this tour day! As a solo female traveller (24) it was important that i felt comfortable with my guide. As soon as i met Mahmoud El-Feky I felt safe. He is professional and friendly and he really cared about what I wanted to see/know about Egypt. He was very knowledgable and shared such interesting stories with me. After a couple of days he felt like a good friend. I was lucky to have Mahmoud and would recommend him to anyone wanting to experience the wonderful things Egypt has to offer 😊

Best tour ever. 10/10 🔥🔥🔥 - We had so much fun on our trip. Mahmoud drove us around all day which was super nice considering how crazy the traffic is in Cairo. We saw all the sites and had a ton of fun. Ayman was super knowledgeable about everything we saw he was like a human history book. They are great people and we are still friends after our tour. Would definitely recommend, so much fun!!!

VISIT TO GEM: Amazing tour with Azny Salama - If you think go to Egypt, you do not forget to do a visit to the nex mayor attraction in that country: the GEM (Great Egyptian Museum) in Giza, near the three big piramides, that will be the biger museum in the world, no open to the public till now. (May be middle 2021). Them, how you can visit it? There are only one way: with Azmy Salama, from Egypt Vacation Tours, the unique agency autorized to do that. I am journalist fron Buenos Aires, them I had the oportunity to do an Official Tour, with Mohamed Hasan the Director Mger. of Antiques and Cultural Heritage, and I can attest that is the same visit than I did with Azny. You will visit several sites of the museum whit out people. Each tour has only five to seven people.. You will watch the inpressive atrium, the explanade, and some laboratories with the personal working in restaurations of several treasures. And, if you do not can go the day that you do the reservation, you cancel and Egyp Vacation Tour reffund you the 100% of the price. Really is a great, great experience.

Amazing trip and even better tour guide - Mahmoud was an excellent tour guide. He took extra time and effort to show us around and explain everything in detail. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

2 pyramids in the background of such an impressive museum - Colossal structure, half baroque, half classic exterior. A superb architectural design. A garden. Beauties of course of ancient Egypt which joins contemporary one. A damper. The price for a foreigner is double the price for an Egyptian. A must see.

Fabulous trip to Egypt - Mahmoud Azmy was my guide on the first day (25/12/2019). I recommend him strongly! He is very knowledgeable, courteous and well informed. His command of English is excellent and he is very comfortable in cross- cultural settings ( working with foreigners). I would recommend him for higher responsibilities that have a managerial angle.
