          Very good trip with eslam
          We had a very very wonderful experience with eslam. He is such a good man. He even helped us with money, we did not have Egyptian pound for local purchases. He gave all his money to us for that and also gifted fruits for us to eat. He is a very kind hearted man. We really loved our tour with him. he had good knowledge about the history and explained everything so clearly and nicely. No hurry he did and made and adjusted the plan according to our needs. Speaks politely. Good tour

          Most useless Guide (aslam) and operator
          We had taken a private package .....this was one of the worst site seeing i have done ever (have visited more than 25 countries and done numerous package trips). The feedback : 1) Vehicle provided was good. Driver was also well behaved and drove well 2) The guide provided (Islam/Aslam) was the worst we have ever seen. The issues are : a) He didnt have basic sense of human interactions.......he came and sat in the vehicle and didnt even bother greeting us or introduce himself (we got to know his name only at the close of the trip !!!) b) It seemed that he was mentally not in a mood for the trip.....either he had a heavy hangover from previous night or he just didnt like doing his job and He was also not dressed professionally c) His english skills were very poor and he couldnt articulate his thoughts into words d) He gave lot of wrong information about the artefacts and tour ......we started listening to the other english guides doing the tour.......it was very clear that this guide was either not a licensed fellow or he just thought he can speak anything to a first time visitor of Egypt and get away !!!! e) He didnt explain about the key items in the catacombs. This was again due to his lack of knowledge f) He didnt inform that the library (bibliotheca) was closed on the day we went......it was one of the key items we wanted to visit We stopped his services immediately after he said he had finished the tour of catacombs. This was due to his behaviour and also his lack of knowledge. We took the vehicle and driver on our own and visited the roman amphitheater and passed thru Pompeys pillar and took guidance of wikipedia and google !!! We missed all the other points in the package trip as we were running late and also we had lost the mood of sightseeing as well due to the pathetic service. We wasted our money on such a useless service provider. I would suggest that viator screen these kind of cheats and ensure we dont waste money. The tour operator offered to make good services by giving me a free nile cruise in his boat......i didnt take this offer. I paid him for the nile cruise which was organised well. I used the operator again for a package in Luxor, where he again goofed up by sending a run down vehicle which resulted in us having back ache and wasting a day. The only reason for single star is for the vehicle and driver provided in alexandria trip.

          Great transportation support
          Islam, the driver who picked us from and back to the hotel was amazing. He acted like a family member and supported us throughout the cruise on the Nile.

          Cairo Pyramids luxor east n west bank with hot air balloon
          We booked our complete Egypt tours with Mr. Taimor which consists of: 1. Cairo VIP Great pyramids tour with Nile dinner cruise. 2. Private Hurghada to Luxor east and west bank overnight tour with sun rise hot air balloon. The overall experience of the tour was very great, the tour guides (Cairo- Mrs Gada, Luxor- Mr Carlos) were very humble who explained us everything in detail. Ample time for visiting the monuments. Very flexible with our needs and requirements. The hospitality was very great!!! Highly recommended and satisfied with the services. Cleanliness- 5*, Punctuality- 5*, overall experience- 5*

          Dinner boat in Cairo
          We were not sure initially what will come next as a part of this dinner boat tour. To our surprise there were many activities (Dancing, singing, great food including veg and non-veg etc.) We couldn't realize how fast the time was passed, and we wished to have more time on this dinner boat. Amazing feeling and extra ordinary experience. Thank you tour company to provide us such a great tour. This is a must tour for everyone if you are going to Cairo.

          Experience with Tour - ""Alexandria Private Day Tour from Cairo","
          We booked the tour for "Alexandria Private Day Tour from Cairo", and our Tour guide Mr. Eslam has given us all necessary information we need to know. He was very very supportive and helpful. He had not only helped to know more about this tour but was taking care of us in a much more professional way than we expected. Aldo, he helped to take our lots of pictures :) We were personally very happy to have this tour, and will highly recommend to use this. Also, We found a very different and positive multi culture perspective of Alexandria in Egypt than Cairo, great city to explore.

          Always with Eslam
          If you want just a tour around this interesting city. Just take any tour guide…if you want THE TOUR, ask for Eslam. He’s not only full of knowledge but also FUN. He will make your day, your visit, and you will have a nice memory from this great country. So, always with Eslam ☺️

          Amazing experience!
          Eslam, our tour guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Offered to take photos of us at each site and spoke good English. Brought us to a wonderful restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea for lunch. I would highly recommend doing a tour with him of Alexandria.

          A good day trip to Alexandria
          Anas the driver was very friendly and had good conversation on the way to and from Alexandria. The first stop was the catacombs and Anas was able to join me and nice enough to take photos for me. Then off to Pompeii’s Pillar it was very interesting. It reminds me the Roman times. We had falafel sandwiches for lunch and they were very delicious, Then I went to the Citadel it was a beautiful place. Last, but not least we went to the Alexandria library, which is beautiful and huge. Anas was nice enough to get coffee couple times, snacks, and a big thing of water for me. Overall, I really enjoyed this tour. Just know this only includes the driver and no guide. But the locals are happy to share information about each place I visited.

          A day visit to Alexandria from Cairo
          One day trip from Cairo with family was fantastic. The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Ancient Roman Amphitheater, the Library, Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi, Fort Qaitbey and more, thanks to our guide Aalaa Gaber, not a guide shall say a good friend who took special care of us whole day. Additionally, she made us travel in a local tram in downtown, suggested a good restaurant and food as well. And thanks to Timour Imam for organizing such a wonderful trip. Happy to recommend my friends and family to both of you.

          Short visit to Egypt
          Well it's a life time experience on a Nile river in a cruise ship. The food was amazing, the dance, music and other programs were also good.

        It was our second day with Timour. To visit the Egyptian Museum was so cool and the Citadel was an amazing Palace with a beautiful views of Cairo. The Old Cairo Tour was nice to see because you can see what the different is the city. Spending time with our driver Timour was nice, he made us feel safe and comfortable and laught with him a lot.

        We had a great time and were able to cover most of the City attractions. Our guide was speaking very good English and gave us lots of details which made our experience really awesome. We can only thank the Tour company to give us such a great experience for a city like Cairo.

        The whole day was very good indeed. Ghana, the guide, arrived very early. She was very friendly and cooperative. She made it clear that she was there to make the day as good as possible for us and was flexible and helpful. I would recommend Ghada as a tour guide for a day in Cairo.
