          Great way to spend a few hours in Cairo
          Awesome areas to check out in Cairo. Ehab was an incredible guide, he spoke fast but in a way that's easy to follow, just the right pace for my liking, and was very informative. Maged was a great driver, always right back to where we needed to be picked up to continue.

          Very good experience!
          We did the St Simon Monastery ,Cave Church , Garbage City and Coptic Cairo Private day tour. Our guide was Lamia Mohamed who did a great job showing us the sites. She explained the historical details of each place very well and was very knowledgeable about the history of the plave. Lamia also had great recommendations for us for the places to try to eat and suggestions on next places to visit over the next few days to come. She was also very flexible when we wanted to add on a visit to the local market and took us through the streets. Everything was arranged very smoothly with the planning, execution, guide & driver that it was a very easy and enjoyable for us. Had a great experience!

          Day trip to Old Cairo
          We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Lami, during our visit to Old Cairo. She did an excellent job showing us around the historic sites, sharing detailed and engaging explanations about the rich history of the area. Lami's knowledge and storytelling truly brought the past to life. What made our experience even more memorable was her extra effort in guiding us through the local market. She helped us navigate the bustling atmosphere, gave helpful tips, and ensured we had a smooth and enjoyable time. We are very happy with Lami's dedication, professionalism, and friendly demeanor. If you’re planning a visit to Old Cairo, we highly recommend her as your guide!

          VIP Service at my Own Pace!
          Highly reccomend! My driver Ahmed made me feel very comfortable and safe. Ehab my guide made sure I enjoyed every moment. I got an overview of the culture and top tips, they fast tracked me through every line and Ehab was like a celebrity and made me feel like one. We got pictures fr numerous angles, a great camel ride, visited the best local artisans and ate traditional cuisine. This was the best tour I could have chosen on a day when I was on a tight schedule and wanted to do what I wanted at my own pace.

          Great tour of Cairo
          Raafat is the best driver in all of EGYPT! He is very friendly and we had a very nice discussion. He told us about Cairo and gave us some great recommendations of the city. He took us to Coptic Cairo, the Islamic quarter and we visited a few shops!. I definitely recommend!

          Islamic and Coptic Cairo tour!
          Marsil was a lovely lady and knew lots about the Islamic and Coptic Cairo tour. I was guided around the Hussein mosque, to the motel where the holy family stayed, which I thought was a great experience.

          Amazing time riding ATVs with my tour guide BisHoo
          I had an amazing time with my tour guide, BisHoo. Got the full ATV experience in the desert and plenty of pictures for memories. I had never rode an ATV before so he took his time teaching me and getting me comfortable for the adventure. Truly a memorable and amazing time. 10/10 would do again! BisHoo is the best Coptic tour guide and I would get him for anything if you need someone to trust and who is knowledgeable.

        We booked the tour quite late (about a hour before it started) and everything was done to ensure we were still picked up from our location and able to go. The tour was very flexible and we were able to modify the itinerary to suit. Hamdy was a very knowledgeable guide.

        Khaled picked us up at the hotel at 8 am (very punctual). The tour started with a 40 min drive to Saqqara, giving us a reasonable time (perfect timing before the other tourists came rushing in). We were offered a camel ride, which we happily took. The second stop was Memphis. Khaled shared some interesting facts about the Necropolis and Memphis. Later Khaled offered us two additional visits: A carpet crafting school and an Egyptian clothes store. After the tour ended, we were dropped off at the national museum of Civilisation, where he gave us an amazing tour. Very happy with the time! Thank you, Khaled and his driver. Khalid is an inspirational guide with a great sense of humour. Thank you for the offerings.🙏🏻

        This was our favourite tour! Didn't know what to expect, but it was incredible! We climbed in 3 pyramids, felt like true explorers!
        Our tour guy explained loads, and the museum was really interesting!
        Lunch was mixed grill which was delicious and we got such a warm welcoming! Unfortunately didn't have time to go to the Bazzar but loved the tour we had!
