Extremely kind and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humor - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 Star ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shady did a fantastic job with the tour for us. We covered the beautiful desert of El Fayoum, lake and waterfall in Wadi El Rayan. His Egyptology is impeccable, taught us new words and how to read Cartouche on ancient statues. He went above and beyond in taking care of us and took so many pictures of us Will 100% recommend this trip to everyone, must do when in Cairo area.

Oasis - Enjoyed this tour as a day away from the busyness of the city. Shady is an excellent tour guide, who manages the time well and makes sure the experience is comfortable for everyone. No hidden stops on the itinerary and he had answers for all of questions. He even included some helpful advice for navigating Cairo as a tourist. I’m glad we did this tour and would happily consider other tours with him and his driver Ibrahim.

GREAT trip to Fayoum and Wadi Rayan - Shady was very helpful, his English is very very good, great understanding of Egypt and gave a great overview. No pressure to do anything we didn’t want to. Lunch was great. Very good photographer too! It was our first time in Egypt and would definitely recommend Shady to anyone coming to Egypt wanting to learn more.

Al Fayoum Oasis - A great outdoors activity not that far from Cairo. You are guided by a personal tour guide that takes you to all the interesting and beautiful areas in Al Fayoum oasis, as well as some outside of it. You also have your personal driver that takes you everywhere you need. The natural areas as seen in the oasis itself are beautiful as well as tranquil, and combined with the more active activities such as sandboarding, this is a great activity to undertake with family and friends. Our tour guide Mina really gave us a great time!

Scam. Reviews are fake. Very disappointing and uncomfortable. - We had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience booking this and were pressured to give a 5-star review. On car ride back home the tour guide insisted we leave a 5-star review and show him the proof. We felt like we were kept hostage. Very uncomfortable. We didn't go to all the attractions, for example "eat lunch in the pottery-making village of Tunis" turned out to be lunch at a rundown restaurant next to the highway, and after we insisted on going to the village itself ("sure, we can go anywhere you want") the tour guide told us we're not actually allowed to go in and rushed us out within less than 10 minutes. "discover the ancient settlement of Medinet Madi” was completely skipped. The "sail in Traditional Felucca boat in the lake" is actually rowing on a rundown barebones tiny fishing boat. Amr, our tour guide, clearly didn't enjoy being there, gave very lackluster information and made it very uncomfortable by asking us "are you good" over and over again and kept pressuring us to give him a 5-star reviews, and for tips that are 5x what searches on google recommend.
