          Amazing day trip with great food
          We had a perfect day with Niven as our driver and tour guide. She brought us to see the Egyptian museum, which had amazing history, she explained everything we saw and made sure we had a great time. Then she took us on a private boat ride on the Nile where we ate great Egyptian food for lunch and enjoyed the beautiful views on the river, she told us all about the Nile and the buildings surrounding. Then we toured a few amazing churches including the hanging church, she shared the great history of the churches and the surrounding area and took us shopping. We had a fantastic day! We would recommend this tour.

          Beautiful views, incredible history
          We had a wonderful driver, Badr, he drove us safely from Giza to Alexandria. I had my elderly mother with me and he was so helpful and patient with her the entire time. The tour guide in Alexandria was very knowledgeable and took us to all sorts of interesting places, we enjoyed learning about the catacombs, Pompeys pillar and the fortress. The views were fantastic, and we enjoyed a traditional Egyptian dinner. I would recommend this tour.

          Superb Service from Badr and Marco
          Badr the Driver and Marco Naguib the Guide were the best possible team a tourist could have ever asked for. Badr was a wheelman extraordinaire, who knew the ins and outs of Cairo, while Marco Naguib is a certified expert on Egyptian antiquities....He definitely knows the topic of Egyptian history and all things Cairo better than anybody else.....I highly recommend these two gentlemen. Whatever you're paying them, they deserve more....

          Fantastic experience
          This was an amazing tour! We saw everything we wanted to see, private tour guide to give us all the information and history! Nevin was amazing at making sure we were taken care of well. We got to have authentic food from Egypt, and safe travels around. She helped make sure the experience was fantastic! I would recommend her and this company to anyone looking for a great experience! Thank you so much!

          Fabulous Cairo tour with Nevin
          Wonderfully wonderful Nevin took us around Cairo-we did the pyramids, sphinx and GEM. Nevin knows all the places to go for the insta pics... charmed my daughter with her mutual love of the animals...one dog actually knows her car to greet her ready for done scraps. Nevin got us local falafels for lunch-yummy - organised camels rides, jumped every queue and even knew the plushest toilet in the outstanding new GEM museum!! We did a 12 day tour of Luxor/aswan on a 5 day cruise with George (her husband) organised. Every minute was organised for us-drivers to take us everywhere-visas organised to make the daunting airport easy- fabulous hotels with beautiful surrounding and delicious food. Our itinerary was all organised... and faultless!! If you are ever considering a trip of a lifetime to Egypt - don't hesitate in booking Nevin for Cairo- and George for the whole of Egypt. All the top British Airways pilots and crew highly rate her... and they have high expectations ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️she does not disappoint

          Enhances a Day Seeing Ancient Egypt
          Having a personal driver and guide took any stress out of experiencing these wonders for the first time. My guide, Essam, let me take my time to take in every sight and never rushed me. I got to do all the things I wanted in a pyramids visit: see all 3 great pyramids from every angle, go inside the tomb of the largest one, see the sphinx and ride a camel around them. He pointed out extra details like the location of ancient fossils still visible in the bedrock and the site where burial boats were extracted from. At the Egypt museum I got to hear information about details in some of the artifacts that weren't on the information plaques and get an overview of every dynasty of ancient Egypt catalogued in the museum without being overwhelmed. Without a guide each mummy, statue, and hieroglyphic can start to look the same but Essam kept the focus on the subtle features of each relic that made it unique and why it was important in our understanding of the ancient world.

          Unbelievably Smooth Experience
          My experience has been nothing short of exceptional. My guide, Ibrahim, knows exactly how to keep the experience entertaining. I showered him with questions and he had an answer for everything. I truly felt like I learned stuff beyond just facts: I was able to get a feel for ancient Egyptian culture. As for the photography skills of Ibrahim, let's just say that you dont need to bring in any drone anyway haha. I sincerely highly recommend this tour!

          This is my first time visiting & our tour guide Marco did an impeccable job at keeping us knowledgeable about the city & taking us to amazing places that were family friendly. He is so friendly & has many friends in the area that welcomed our family into their businesses for us to enjoy local products. I LOVE Egypt! I can't wait to return!

          The Best Guide Ever!!!
          Before I talk about the experience the guide Mr Marco or as my kids say Marco Polo!!! Is the best most knowledgeable guide. I love history but the depths and detail in information was outstanding! I know nothing, everything he told and showed us was mind blowing. Oh yea Marco is very personable and funny to with his facts so it’s a very great experience. The views were amazing! He also served as our photographer too! He’ll get you all the best angles to be at for pics. He also took us into the city to the markets and most importantly because I have kids. Made us feel very SAFE. Thank you Marco for a once in a lifetime experience. We will be back!!!

          The new Cairo
          Cairo has changed in the last 10 years. They have cleaned up the city, I even saw machines with scrubbing brushes, people with brooms, all restrooms tended. The country caters to the tourists, most all Egyptians speak English since it is a requirement in school. They love US dollars. Lastly they have built a state of the art new Museum, I can’t wait to return.

        I reached out to Nevin as I wanted a tour to see the Egyptian Museum and a visit to the famous Khan El Khalili market. Nevin organised a great afternoon and was very informative! You definitely need a guide when visiting the Egyptian Museum and Nevin was outstanding - she shared some interesting facts and took care of getting the tickets and sorting the transport (picked up from hotel and dropped back off). We then tried some delicious Egyptian food for lunch and then headed to the Khan El Khalili where we tried some authentic Egyptian coffee.
        Nevin was a great tour guide and very reassuring. It was nice having someone who is able to speak the local language and take care of everything for you giving you peace of mind for a stress free afternoon!
        Many thanks Nevin!

        The Egyptian museum has an extensive collection and it is best to have a knowledgeable guide. We had a great experience with our tour guide from another tour that we specifically requested his expertise for this tour. Marco, an English speaking tour guide was fantastic! He is an Egyptologist with tremendous knowledge. This tour was informative and I would only recommend this tour with a professional like Marco to experience a full appreciation of what the museum has to offer.

        Marco was great and very knowledgeable. With his education and background we felt privileged to have his insights. Marco’s knowledge of Egyptian history was thorough and although it may be straightforward for him it wowed us when he started reading the hieroglyphics on the statues and explaining the story and history behind them.

        Marco our tour guide was amazing and gave us an incredible visit to the Egyptian Museum highlighting all the incredible artefacts of special interest to us. Marco made the history come alive for my 10year old grandson. I would recommend asking for Marco if you visit as his knowledge seems infinite.

        Marco was our guide, and he was exceptional.

        Having read a lot about the hit or miss nature of Egypt’s tourism, I came in to the country a little on guard due to some of the stories you hear online.

        Marco immediately dispelled all worries and fear and with his professional knowledge and passion for Egypt’s rich history.

        He not only gave us the service we expected, but more. As he is a Qualified Egyptologist, he had up-to-date knowledge and knew all the secret spots and locations that other tour guides may lack.

        The biggest compliment I can give him however, is that he made us feel at home despite travelling across the world where English is not spoken freely.

        If you are interested in an in-depth tour with a knowledgeable guide and are especially intrigued by the history here in Egypt; look no further. Marco is your man!

        It was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. We were at the pyramids and in the museum and experienced so much about the history and culture. Marco is the best tour guide you can imagine. Anyone who flies to Egyten and doesn't book it is making a huge mistake! The whole day was simply fantastic! I would give 7 stars instead of 5 if it were possible! Thank u Marco for everything! :) And thank u for the amazing biscuits ;)

        Organized a tour to the Egyptian Museum and Khan El Khalili Bazaar. Marco was out guide. His English is fantastic and he is a wealth of knowledge as he is a trained Egyptologist.

        He provided a great level of detail and history which was a fantastic start to my stay in Cairo.

        Would not hesitate to hire Deluxe Tours and Marco anytime.

        I think it is so nice to see around with the guide such as Marco. He knew all the best spots. Also he helps you to understand the culture of modern and ancient Egypt. He has a massive knowledge about ancient period of Egypt and also he knows muslim and christian periods. Most importantly he is a great photographer. We had a very good driver , his name is Muhammed! There is a crazy traffic here and find some one like Muhammed Ali to fight with it.

        We had a half day trip to the pyramids and the museum. Ebrahim was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. He was very welcoming and explained a lot about ancient and current Egypt. He also took WONDERFUL photos. Badr was our driver and I am so grateful because the traffic is crazy. It was a great tour.

        I liked my full day trip with this company so much, I decided to follow up with a half day guided experience the following day. My guide Marco (whom I requested again from the day before) was again nothing short of amazing. He crafted a unique experice for me after discussing what I was interested in. Ultimately I told him I trust you're judgment and let's do what you'd recommend. It was perfect! I am not someone who is normally interested in historical churches or mosques be he told me it would be well worth it. He took me to a lesser known historic mosque with no lines, tourists or beggers. He used a connection to get a special "behind" the scenes tour. We ended our day with the museum where he took time to explain everything in detail. Marco is simply the best and I promise you, if you ask to have him as your guide for any experience you will not be disappointed. I know if I ever make it back to Egypt I am reaching out to him first.
