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.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our guide, Massar, for the excellent work he did during our visit to the Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of Egyptian history and archaeology, explaining each site in a clear, engaging, and professional manner. In addition to his extensive knowledge, he stood out for his kindness and attention to detail, making the entire experience very enjoyable and enriching. He answered all my questions with patience and enthusiasm, conveying his passion for Egyptian culture. Thanks to his excellent work, the visit was much more special and unforgettable. I recommend Massar without a doubt to anyone who wants to learn about the history of Egypt with a truly professional and dedicated guide. Thank you very much for an exceptional experience!

It was an great experience all around. Othman, the guide, was extremely knowledgeable, smart, caring and accomodating. The driver, whose name I cannot remember, was also very good and we sailed smoothly across Cairo. They accomodated ann addition to the tour (two mosques) with grace and flexibility. The tour allowed us to save an immense amount of time and stress and enjoy the fantastic sights. The lunch was also good, albeit in a tourist-y buffet restaurant (but clean and the food was good). Strongly recommended.

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!
