- bigslipper0 contributionsGreat boat trip on the Nile!Had a great Nile boat trip with this company. I also had to change the date at last minute which they did for me which was nice of them. Ended up also booking a museum tour because of it. Also good comms with the tour driver who let me know where he was when we needed him.Written 17 January 2025
- Exploration6838300 contributionsTour of pyramidsThe views were spectacular. Our tour guide Ehab was the absolute best. We saw and learned so much about Egypt. Ehab and Shady were both so kind and courteous. I definitely recommend asking for these guys. Ehab took pictures of us together all through out tour. So thoughtful.Written 15 January 2025

- melissalG2313DQ0 contributionsAmazing few hours in GizaI had the best time with guide Doaa and driver Eslam!! I was stopping in Cairo for just a few hours with very little heads up. Hesham was amazing at organizing something which for me, where I saw all the highlights in just a few hours (pyramids, Sphinx, papyrus museum and perfume oils). Doaa was extremely informative, made me laugh, took lots of pictures and I really my experience with her and Eslam. Highly recommend and if I am back in Cairo, I would definitely contact them again.Written 12 January 2025

- 440mahmudan0 contributionsFun time in the dinner cruise on NileThe Nile dinner cruise was quite fun. The performers put a lot of effort in putting together the show (there were about 8 performances) and they serve a lot of local foods. They picked me up from Giza west which I really appreciated too! The car driver, Magdy who picked me up and dropped me off was very kind and offered me his jacket as I was cold and didn’t dress warm enough for the cold. I highly recommend the cruise with Hesham and his team.Written 10 January 2025
- 440mahmudan0 contributionsOverall a good tourThe tour was enjoyable. The operator accommodated my requests to change the time a few times which I really appreciated. I did another shopping tour with the same operator 2 days back so just declined the shopping part. The tour guide, Roma seemed to be knowledgeable on the history of the pyramids and sphinx. She helped me taking pictures and getting my luggage around when I needed extra hands with them. The car driver Magdy was very nice helping with everything to make the tour smooth. I would recommend the tour with them. To improve the tour even further, I would suggest a little more protectiveness in outlining the tour during ticket purchase or in the beginning of the tour. For example, buying more time with the camel for additional $15. I don’t mind paying, it’s just that I prefer paying and knowing everything upfront, not on the spot, there is very little choice at that point.Written 10 January 2025
- 29mackenzieh0 contributionsThis is the tour you want to book!!!This trip is a MUST DO! Remon was our guide for the day, just my husband and I and it was absolutely fantastic. We got picked up at our hotel and taken to the airport, then picked up in Luxor and we were off for the day! We started at the Temple of Hatshepsut, which was great to do first thing before it got really hot out. Then we stopped by an Alabaster shop, where everyone was so kind, they all had a good sense of humor and made my husband and I feel welcome. Next was the Valley of the Kings, and it was just phenomenal to see the tombs, and some of them so well preserved! Definitely take your time, don't rush through these experiences! We then decided to take a boat on the Nile River to Banana Island and had an amazing Egyptian lunch, the food was SO GOOD! We then next headed to the Karnak Temple, everything you have seen on TV or the Internet doesn't even compare. Next was Luxor Temple, it's amazing that these temples still remain. Remon was just amazing giving us so much information at each site, answered every question my husband and I had. We spent all day with him and our driver and both of them made us feel so welcome, comfortable and made sure we had a great time. We had a great Falafel lunch before we headed to the airport to head back to Cairo. I did so much research on these tours before booking, this is definitely the one you want to book! We never felt pressured to buy anything from vendors, we never felt rushed through any of the temples. This was the best experience we have had in Egypt, when we come back I will be getting a hold of Remon again!Written 10 January 2025

We had a 16 hour stopover with two young kids. The tour was perfect! We saw and learned about the pyramids and were back to the hotel with plenty of time. Fantastic guide, especially with young kids. I highly recommend Khaled.
