Fantastic

Abdallah_A, Apr 2025

This half-day trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! The company was extremely professional, well-organized, and made sure everything went smoothly. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of their way to make the experience memorable. The timing was perfect, transportation was comfortable, and the sites we visited were even more impressive than expected. I truly appreciated how attentive and accommodating the team was — they really made us feel welcome. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt!

I had an amazing experience with the Mr. Muhammad during my trip to Cairo. He was extremely friendly, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the journey. His knowledge of the city and attentive service really stood out. I highly recommend Mr. Muhammad for anyone visiting Cairo he made my trip even more enjoyable!

Not bad, but could have been better

The tour itself was good. The guide Mahmoud was friendly, spoke good German and answered all our questions. The information was very interesting. Even the food was delicious, but the best thing about the tour was our driver Mohamed. He was the only person that day who was not pushy, but reserved and very accommodating. He was also a really good driver. The things that negatively affected the tour: - I had booked the tour for 10am. Shortly after booking I was informed that the tour had to be postponed to 12:30. 20 minutes to 11, I am informed that we can be picked up at 11. Since I started from the other time, I just put my child to sleep. I was able to change the time back to 12:30, but the back and forth was not so great. - At the camel ride we gave the camel driver 200 E£ as a tip, as we only had 200th notes. And that seemed like a generous tip to me. But the driver has directly demanded another 200 E£ note. He was really persistent when I refused. That left a bitter aftertaste where the ride itself was quite good. - but what bothered me the most was the fact that the guide Mahmoud tried to carry my daughter (19 months old) throughout the tour. She has said no to it several times and I have cautiously indicated that she does not like strangers. But we were ignored. In the end, I was annoyed by it. And the tour was not as relaxed as it could have been. - at the end we were driven to an essential oils shop unsolicited. The shop itself was really great and the lady who explained everything to us was great. But I was quite finished at this point and really just wanted to get back to the hotel. We were nevertheless asked if we still wanted to go to the papyrus shop next door. I have clearly rejected that. These negative points led me to give only 3 stars. It could have been 5 if everyone was like our driver Mohamed.
