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!

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.

Amazing Grant Egyptian Museum Tour
We had a lovely tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum by our private guide Mohamed El Wazir.
Communication the day before was perfect with a WhatsApp message with a photo of the vehicle picking us up the next morning.
The tour was at a relaxed pace with us spending more or less time at each part of the museum as per our wishes, Mohamed was knowledgeable, well humoured and answered all our questions and made it an interactive experience just for us.
The museum itself is amazing, Grand in scale and architecturally beautiful. The artefacts are everything you can imagine and more.
Mohamed was very accommodating and patient with us taking a break for lunch and a coffee and visiting the gift shop.
When the tour was finished, Mohamed asked us if there was anything we hadn’t got a chance to do in our first few days and we said we’d like to have a cartouche made with my wife’s name on. He took us somewhere where we were greeted by lovely warm people who were not pushy at all and made the perfect memento for my wife as well as giving her a complimentary buff of her engagement and wedding rings. It was the perfect way to end our visit to Egypt.
Can’t recommend the tour or Mohamed highly enough. Fantastic experience for the family.

Sasha is an amazing local tour guide
It was an absolutely amazing experience, choose Sasha as your tour guide if you can, she adjusted the plan a little bit to accommodate me, very knowledgeable about local history and culture. I got late due to another booking but Sasha and her team waited for me and made sure I can still see the best of the tour. She also took me to a few local stores, she asked me first if I was interested to see them, so I chose the Papyrus, perfume and statue stores. She just waited patiently while I was walking around there, both Sasha and the store staffs didn’t tried to push me to buy anything, it’s a very comfortable environment, and the local lunch provided to Sasha was also very good Egyptian Experience! When we walked around and someone tried to scam me Sasha would tell them to go away, she really took my whole Egypt experience to the next level, choose her if you can!

Exceptional service and friendly environment
Our family had a great time with our guide Ajoub. He was very informative and answered any questions we had. He also allowed us to take our time everywhere we went and never rushed us. Once we were done at the pyramids and sphinx he brought us to a place that he bought his shirt from since my dad said he liked it and wanted a similar one. Then he also asked if we would like to visit a place where they make papyrus paper/paintings and we agreed. We ended up buying a beautiful painting while there and were not rushed. After that we had an amazing buffet style lunch with many different options before arriving back at our hotel. We all had an amazing time and highly recommend Ajoub

GEM - Grand Egyptian Museum a place to remember.
Basem our guide was great. He was informative and delightful to speak to and listen to. The driver was super amazing and the car was spacious and well airconditioned! The museum is so big that I recommend booking a 2 day tour to be able to see it all. Do ask for Basem because you won't regret it.... he made us feel like we where in the past.

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!”

Perfect day in Cairo
Great day with Egytpologist Kareem and driver Shadi. Saw ancient marvels and learned much of Egyptian history. Sampled delicious traditional food, saw how papyrus is made and used, explored exotic scents and oils, bought some lovely saffron tea and zatar from an exotic spice shop. It was a.perdect sunny day .

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.

Best experience with Mohamed Mohey
We had the very luck experience of having Mohamed Mohey as our guide, he was fantastic. It was my birthday and he arranged a cake and show for me. He made us feel like superstars, timings were perfect and such attention to detail. Very pleased with his service. Many Thanks from me and my family
