Nasser was our guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. It was a fantastic tour and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned and laughed . I recommend this tour with Nasser to all.
Thank you, Sir!

This tour was beyond amazing. Nasser and the driver(forgot his name) arrived at our hotel on time. Visiting the pyramids and sphinx was surreal. Nasser is a great photographer and took amazing personal photos of us at the pyramids. We wanted to dine at the 9 pyramids lounge and he graciously waited in the car for 1 hour as my partner and I ate breakfast and took pictures. He personally walked us up to the lounge and asked a waitress to attend to our needs urgently. We extended an invitation for him to join us but he politely declined. The rest of the day ran smoothy as planned. We customized our itinerary by skipping the perfume /art shop all together. Coptic Cairo was amazing too. Before dropping us off at our hotel, he took us to a local shop per our request so we could purchase snacks, water, and juice for our hotel. We appreciated his great hospitality and care toward us. The least we could do is leave a good tip. +5 stars tour.

The guide Nasser, took me to some local traders where I paid a much higher prices for my goods than I should I have, basically saying these are trusted vendors.
Essential oils place charged me 100 usd for 250 mls of essential oils, should cost around 10 to 15 usd.
Papyrus institute, charged me 170 usd for 2 painting on Papyrus should cost around 20 to 40 usd.
Unfortunately the guides and shops are all in cahoots... which is sad by true.
Im writing this so that others don't get scammed by same people in future. And hopefully the guides stop scamming tourists.

This was a special tour for ourselves and our daughter who is based in Egypt. The tour was recommended by one of her friends. The tour allowed us to see many sights in one day making the most of our time in Cairo. Nasser and his driver were exceptional. Nassers knowledge was invaluable and he was extremely kind and respectful and didnt rush us. My wife is a diabetic and he was very considerate of her condition. He brought the tour alive for us and he and his driver enabled us to see the most incredible rock carvings at St Simon Church, which we wouldnt have found on our own. The pyramids were an unforgettable sight - make sure you have plenty of water, as it gets very hot and a hat for fair skinned people.
A thousand thanks to Nasser and his driver. We highly recommend this trip !!!

An excellent experience, the guide Nasser was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant character who made it clear I was the focus of the day. Accordingly we adjusted the schedule to fit with my requirements and when I had had enough -am a lazy tourist, there was no protest about we must see this or we must do that. And when I made it clear at the outset that I wouldn't be at all happy being touted around the sellers of stuff this was never an issue.
For me a private tour is the perfect way to spend a day seeing the wonders of Cairo. And Nasser was an excellent guide.

Best tour of three that I have taken here. He will actually take you anywhere, you want to go. Five stars.

What an amazing day in Cairo, with the best guide. Nazir and our driver picket us up on time at 9. We visited the pyramids first where he helped us navigate through all the tourist traps. A bonus after this was the purfume shop which is worth a visit but not included in the itinary. After this we asked for a local lunch, he treated us to some fresh mango juice an then we went for lunch cheap and as local as you can get. The churches and especialy driving through garbish city was unforgettable and a must do experience!
I highly recommend this tour! We ere well looked after and Nazir went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

日本語ガイドを選択し予約しました。結論を言うと日本人は良いカモでガイドツアーを頼んだ時点でボッタクリに合う事を学びました。お土産店とラクダで必ずボッタクられます。
ピラミッド入場費込みですがガイドのクレジットカードがエラーで使えないので私達のクレジットカードで支払って欲しい、キャッシュで返すと言われましたがエジプトポンドでの返金でしたので旅行最終日だったので使い道が無いので受け取らずに全額をチップとして渡しました。
ピラミッド入場後、ガイドの知人のラクダ乗りを勧められ、「カイロはインフレでラクダ乗りは高騰しており、1人40$が平均である」と言われました。交渉しましたがガイドの知人だったので2人で20分50$が限界で、この金額を支払うこととなりました。ラクダ乗車中にチップを要求されたりと散々でした。
Tシャツが1枚25$のお店や、お高い香水店にも連れて行かれて散々でした。
別料金で支払ったコプト博物館だけが楽しかったです。
初エジプトでしたので現地ツアーを利用し旅をしましたがエジプトがとにかく大嫌いになりました。二度と訪れることはありません。
Response from Host, Aug 2023
「あなたのコメントを光栄に思います。肯定的であれ否定的であれ、すべてのコメントを尊重します。旅行は計画通りに行われ、チケット代も支払われたことをお知らせします。コプト博物館については、プログラムに含まれていませんでした。そして、ラクダやお店についてはプログラムにはありませんが、お客様からの特別なご要望でしたので、ご希望を考慮して実装させていただきました。
