Fantastic experience and...
Fantastic experience and our tour guide Ghada was amazing. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended.
We did the all inclusive option so got to see the pyramids as well as camel ride around them, go inside of one, visit a tomb and see the sphinx up close. After that, we went for lunch. A great way to tick off a bucket list tour!

An excellent guided visit to the GEM
My guide was Osama. He was on time, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I really enjoyed the experience at the GEM. Osama answered all my questions, shared so much information and knew the history of all the exhibits we visited. The pace was good, with plenty of time for explanations and putting the exhibits into context across the different ages and rulers. I definitely recommend Osama as a guide. Thanks Osama!

The Best Way to Experience the GEM: Family Warmth and Backstage History with Mo
We had an incredible experience exploring Egypt with Mo, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very beginning, when he picked us up at the airport, his warm welcome, genuine kindness, and friendly demeanor made us feel instantly at ease.
Our time at the Grand Egyptian Museum with him was an absolute highlight. Mo brings a truly rare, insider perspective to Egypt’s history: his mother worked as an archaeologist right near the storage facility where King Tut’s priceless treasures were housed before being moved to the GEM. Growing up surrounded by these artifacts and hearing firsthand stories from the field gave Mo a deep, personal connection to the history he shares. His wealth of knowledge, combined with those unique childhood insights, brought every exhibit to life.
Beyond his expertise, Mo took the genuine time to get to know us and connect as a family over an authentic lunch with delicious local food. Being younger, he brought a fresh, engaging perspective that our daughter especially appreciated and resonated with. If you are looking for a guide who is not only a brilliant expert but also a wonderful person to spend time with, Mo is as good as it gets!

Nile Cruise w/ Mo Salah
Nile cruise was a vibe. The views were pretty and the atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed the entertainment and food was good. Our travel guide Mo Salah was absolutely amazing. He was very friendly and attentive. He made sure we enjoyed our cruise and took lots of pictures. He was the best part of the tour.

Exploring Cairo’s nightlife like a local
We had a wonderful Cairo night tour with Mohammed and Nda. From the very beginning, we felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening.
It was a fantastic way to experience Cairo after dark and get a real feel for the city’s nightlife and local atmosphere. Mohammed showed us around with great care and also introduced us to his favourite dessert, which was such a lovely personal touch.
Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable evening, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a different side of Cairo.

Incredible tour to get close up to the Pyramids with Mo
Mo was an absolutely incredible guide. We had limited time and Mo accommodated our schedule to make sure we were at the airport in plenty of time for our flight. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the pyramids and provided a great deal of interesting history. It was incredible riding the camels and getting Instagram worthy pictures of the pyramids. Mo took some pictures of us with the pyramids in the background that were very creative. He even took us to places in the complex that few know are there to visit. We even went inside the Great Pyramid and into the Pharaoh's chamber. We highly recommend this tour, and especially Mo.

The experience exceeded...
The experience exceeded expectations. Khalefa went above and beyond. He was our private guide not only for the tour but also for the surrounding area. He knows the local area and was so informed. Our experience was immersive and enjoyable. I would highly recommend. It was like traveling with a local friend.

Pyramid tour.
h, got it! Here’s a revised version: “ I went on a group guided tour, and our tour leader was Bassant. She was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. She made our visit to the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx really unforgettable. Thank you, Bassant!”

Enjoyable entertaining
My partner is in a wheelchair, and from the moment we got out of the taxi the staff couldn't have been more helpful, she was literally carried from the road to put seat, plenty of choice in the food and well what can be said about the entertainment, it was simply brilliant, from the singers the dancers the 3 piece bongo sax and violin player got everyone going they were amazing

Hisham was an amazing...
Hisham was an amazing driver. He got me to the places, and even though he was driver only, he answered questions. This is okay for a female solo traveler. When you get into the church complex you may find that a guide is helpful so that you don’t miss anything. There are inexpensive guides for hire walking around.

Ask for Wael! This was an amazing tour.
Wael was by far the best tour guide we had on our 6-day trip in Egypt. He is a 3rd generation tour guide with vast knowledge of Egyptian history and culture. One of the highlights of our trip was enjoying Turkish coffee at El Fishawy Cafe in the Bazaar and talking all things Egypt with Wael.
Objects sold in the Bazaar are meant for tourists and are low quality. Prices will also be unfair, so be prepared to negotiate. **If you do not want to be harassed in the Bazaar but still want to see it, we recommend going at 9am while shops are still opening**.
On Sundays, Coptic holds mass and you will not be able to enter the church until 11am.

Great Tour
Our guide Bishoy was absolutely amazing (professional, knowledgable, informative, kind) and this tour was a wonderful way to begin our trip to Egypt! We experienced authentic Egyptian essence perfume; learned about making paper and had our names written using ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics; shopped for jewelry and t-shirts; and visited a spice shop. We ended our tour enjoying delicious Koshary, Egypt's national dish. Many thanks to Bishoy and we absolutely recommend this tour to future travelers!
