The Guide, Mahmoud, was absolutely fantastic and his knowledge of Egyptian history was impressive. Plus, he has a great eye for photography! He knew all the best spots and perspective tricks to make it look like I was holding up the pyramids or touching the Sphinx 😁. Regarding the Logistics, the driver arrived right on time at my hotel, was very kind and navigated the bustling Cairo traffic like a pro, making the ride comfortable and stress-free. The vehicle was clean and air-conditioned, which was a blessing. The included lunch, Kushari, was tasty and a nice break in the middle of the day. Ps: Saqqara’s step pyramid is a must-see, and Memphis gives you a great sense of the ancient capital eventhought I fell like there could have been much to see there. This is absolutely a good tour to book !

We had a wonderful experience with our guide during our visit to the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind throughout the entire tour. She explained everything clearly and made the history of ancient Egypt truly fascinating and easy to understand. A special mention goes to her excellent Italian: she spoke it perfectly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and comfortable for us. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Cairo and looking for a great guide.

Initially guide was quite interested but after an hour or so was just leaving us and he was explaining us only when we were asking. We saw other guides who were explaining the group with passion and in detail keeping the interest levels of participants high. He was in hurry at pyramid but left us at one paper shop and perfume shop for more than an hour (may be for commissions on purchase.

An excellent, friendly, and very dedicated tour guide. In addition to the pyramids, we visited some very interesting local hidden gems, such as a papyrus workshop and a spice shop. At the museum, we gained a detailed, personal insight into Egyptian history. Thank you very much!
