        تجربة رائعة
        تم الاتفاق مع المرشدة السياحية ايمان، وكان كل شيء كما كان متفق عليه من البداية . وكانت هناك دقة في المواعيد حيث احترمت السيدة ايمان الموعد ولم يكن هناك أي تأخير بل بالعكس كان هناك مساعدة لنا من حيث ترتيب وتنسيق للزيارات حتى تكون مواتية لبرنامجنا كوننا انا وزوجي في نفس اليوم لدينا رحلة الى اسوان بالقطار لهذا اتفقنا على زيارة كل من اهرامات الجيزة،قلعة صلاح الدين والمتحف المصري. كان شرح السيدة ايمان وافي وملم ،سلس كانت متعاونة،حيوية واهم أمر كانت تؤدي عملها بروح مرحة وهذا ما أضفى على الأمر لمسة جميلة . النقل كان مريح وكانت كل تفاصيل الجولة مريحة. أنصح بالتعامل معهم وسيلاحظ كل من سيتعامل معهم انهم بالإضافة إلى الحصول على خدمة جيدة سيحصلون على اصدقاء رائعين. We agreed with the tourist guide Mrs Iman, and all it was okay as agreed. There was a punctuality as Mrs Iman respected the appointment and there was no delay. On the contrary, there was assistance in terms of arranging and coordinating visits so as to be favorable to our program. As my husband and I were on the same day we had a trip to Aswan by train so we agreed to visit each of the pyramids of Giza,Castle of Saladin and the Egyptian Museum. Mrs. Iman had a clearly , unacquainted and smooth explanation, she was cooperative, vital and the most important thing that she worked with a cheerful spirit. The transport was comfortable and all the details of the tour were comfortable. I recommend dealing with them and everyone who will deal with them will notice that in addition to getting good service they will get great friends.

        perfect operators and guide
        we are a group of friends working togather in saudi arabia and we decided to have a short vacation in Egypt and it was a great choice! Egypt is a beautiful country and people are very friendly.. our local tour operator in Cairo was " Egypt guide tours "and really they are a true guide for us . from the beginning, by the online booking they gave us all the information we need to know for our plan and stay in Egypt and helped us to chose the best program for each family of our group. for me, i went with my wife to Cairo pyramids and the citadel then in the night we attended an amazing show of a folc dance in the old Islamic street next day we went to the pharaohnic village by the boat and then lunch in another nile river cruise we loved it too in both days they offered a private tourist guide and a private car so we felt like Vip :) the hotel "cairo pyramid " is an excellent 5 stars hotel with an excellent breakfast it is so close to the pyramids. we are so satisfied about the service and the price

        amazing time in Cairo
        Very professionally organized and trustworthy company. We were pleasantly surprised to be the only ones on the tours, (it was private but not expencive )but it also meant we had the full benefit from the experienced guide Osama ., He was very attentive to our needs, on time for all pick ups, friendly and even organized .Both tour guide and operators were perfect and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Highly recommended for cairo tours if you only have a short trip to Egypt.

        My amazing trip👍🏻
        This winter, I went with my wife to the Pyramids and Museum of Egypt. we started our trip from cairo airport , Cairo, is definitely worth visiting.. The guide provided remarkable service and were willing to answer any question we had. Besides, they have the talent to make you feel as if you went back in time.. I recommend this trip with all my heart! It is an experience I will never forget. the hotel also was deluxe and deservs more than 5 stars and very cheap in mony! i liked the Pyramid of Sakkara and the colorful tombs.

      We had a wonderful tour with our tour guide Mohammed, who was friendly and very helpful. His knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible. He explained the first dynasty kings and in detail explained the building of the pyramids - Step, Bent and Red pyramid. He gave us a fantastic tour inside a highly decorated mustaba, explaining the life and times of the king. This was fascinating and really helped to understand the way of life in around 2700BC. Mohammed also took us inside the step pyramid, which again was breath taking to see the huge shaft. The most exciting part of the tour was going inside to see the large black sarcophagus’s. Again, Mohammed spent time answering all our questions and explained different hypotheses as to why the Serapium was built. It is a must and is breath taking to see such ancient creations. We cannot praise Mohammed enough, he is an extremely knowledgeable guide. It was a lifetime memory - thank Mohammed 5* Paul & Roger

      We had an amazing day tour at the end of December with Sam. We stayed at a hotel in Giza and wanted to see as much as we could of Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara in the one day that we had. This tour company customized a private tour based on what we wanted to see for just a little more than what the half-day Saqqara Treasures tour cost. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day with unseasonably clear skies. We spent the morning checking out the great pyramids, taking a camel ride around the pyramids to the sphinx, seeing the colossal statue of Ramses II in Memphis, and then the heading to Saqqara for a tasty farm to table lunch outside. Then we saw the Step Pyramid, a few incredible Old Kingdom tombs, Titi’s Pyramid, the Serapeum, and finished up at the Imhotep Museum. It was a very full day but just wonderful. Sam was a great guide, explaining what we were seeing, telling fascinating stories, and answering any questions we had. Highly recommended!

      Osama Othman (Sam) was my guide who works for Egypt Guide Tours who would navigate through the most aggressive vendors and was very knowledgeable about the pyramids, tombs, etc. and Mahamed our driver which was extremely experienced “Professional” who could navigate through the craziest traffic with ease. These two took care of me so well, I don’t know if it’s because I was old enough to be there dad or they just treat older people the same way. Loved the pyramids and the tombs which was on my bucket list and thanks to Sam which made very memorable, like seeing the step pyramid of king Dzoser which was designed by Imhotep (you know the Mummy, lol) , pyramid of king Unas, tomb of Mereruka, where you can see a carving of a hippopotamus killing a crocodile and lots and lots of other things that Sam introduced to me too. My only regret is that I did not have more time to stay longer in Egypt, there is tremendous amount of history here.

      Zein is a fantastic guide! He is so knowledgeable and passionate about ancient Egypt and how everything was created. He is equally passionate about the preservation of the pyramids, tombs and artifacts.

      Anyone who gets Zein as their guide can count themselves very lucky indeed!!

      I loved this part of my trip. I did not have much time but the agency made sure to pick me up early and drop me off at the airport. Imane (Emy) was amazing. She gave us a whole tour of the sakkara sites. She explained in details the history. She even took me to buy my sons amazing necklaces with their names in calligraphy. The drive was smooth back and forth alongside the site.
