Excellent private guide - Mahmoud is excellent! A local Cairo friend recommended him and we're so glad they did. He took care of everything and made us feel right at home. The camel ride around the pyramids was the highlight, so great!

We definitely Explored and learnt from the Expert Mahmoud - We spent two days with Mahmoud and felt we learnt so much in an engaging way - we really maximised our time without any stress of getting around so we could be In the moment and take it all in. Now I’ve experienced Cairo i realise it could be an overwhelming experience (with traffic chaos and street sellers) but having Mahmoud as a guide with a driver we always felt we were in good hands. I am sure we could not have done this in a more pleasurable way - it’s a conversation and it’s flexible as to what you want to concentrate on as well as being able to ask as many questions as come to mind from the expert . Mahmoud’s archeological background obviously means he is knowledgeable and enthusiastic - it’s such a vast and fascinating subject spanning thousands of years . For the moment until the new museum opens you really need a guide to fully appreciate and do justice to what you’re seeing as there is not a great deal of information…. We enjoyed the fact that the tour was personal to us and lots of the conversations we had Re ancient and modern… We would definitely recommend Mahmoud.

Simply Wonderful! - I would like to start by saying this was the best tour I have ever been on. The execution, the staff and the planning was to perfection. In just six days we were able to explore and experience almost all of Egypt. The first day we arrived we were greeted at the Hotel by the owners and their staff. They made sure we had a room with warm water and told us a brief summary of what our trip details were. Every morning the owner or one of his staff members would be waiting for us at the hotel lobby and send us on our way with the driver and tour guide. Our Tour Guide in Cairo and Alexandria was the best!! He was so patient and protective of us that we felt very safe. The tour to the pyramids and camel rides were espectacular. One of the requested we made was to always have traditional Egyptian food for lunch and they certainly delivered. I have never had such amazing food like the food in Egypt, they took us to the best places to eat with wonderful views. The temples in Aswan were divine and the sceneary was breathtaking. In Luxor we were able to go on a ballon-ride, they made sure the weather was safe and the person handling the ballon was a police officer so everything was safe and very calculated to the detail. In Alexandria we were able to explore this magnificent city and for lunch we had something a little different but amazing... The best Fish restaurant in all of Egypt!! We were also able to experience the Black and white desert, all I have to say is that I am of a loss for words because its wonderful, although I do recommend to spend the night in the desert (they offer this option) because its a bit far from Cairo and a long drive to make it in a day trip. On the very last day in Cairo we were taken on the Faluca, Bazaar and food tour. The Faluca on the Nile was exceptional, just beautiful. The Bazaar as always, very organized and respectful people. The Food Tour is something you need to try, this is the upmost traditional Egyptian food you will ever try. I must say it was so interesting seeing what they eat and how. We were offered 3 meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I must say that this company truly made our stay special, we were treated like family and they made sure we experienced as much as possible in so little time. I truly recommend this company!! When I go back to Egypt this is the only trusted people I will contact.
