We had stayed for several days in...

james_m, Aug 2018

We had stayed for several days in Cairo and visited most of the must see sites so we wanted to see something different. We took this tour and were pleasantly surprised to find that our tour was adjusted to fit our specific desires. We got to see the Citadel, mosques and churches in Cairo. We had a nice lunch while touring and everything was done with professionalism and courtesy. Our guide had the caretaker of a mosque open up a restricted area to view the tombs of Kings that had ruled there. We had a great time.

We’re so happy to hear that the tour was tailored to match your interests and gave you the chance to discover a different side of Cairo beyond the usual highlights. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed visiting the Citadel, the historic mosques, and churches, as well as the special access arranged by your guide to explore the restricted tomb area. Creating unique and personalized experiences is something we truly value, and your kind words about the professionalism and courtesy of our team mean a lot to us. We’re glad you had a great time and hope to welcome you again for more hidden gems and unforgettable experiences in Egypt!

Excursion not in accordance with our reservation

Mathilde_J, Nov 2025

We booked this tour with a French guide but the agency sent us an English guide. This inconvenience penalized our visit. Just time to take pictures or stop 5min in a shop. I don't recommend it.

Nous avons réservé cette excursion avec un guide français mais l'agence nous a envoyé un guide anglais. Ce désagrément a pénalisé notre visite. Tout juste du temps pour prendre des photos ou s'arrêter 5min dans une boutique. Je déconseille.

Muy bueno

HARRY_Q, Jan 2020

Muy bien recorrido nuestro guía MOHAMED EL WAZIR excelente persona muy bien preparado y muy bien español. El recorrido en camello me decepcionó no fue alrededor de las pirámides como lo ofrece la empresa sino escasos 200 m

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you had a great experience with Mohamed El Wazir and that you appreciated his professionalism and Spanish language skills. We will be glad to share your kind words with him. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that the camel ride did not meet your expectations. The experience should always be clearly described and delivered as promised, and we regret that this was not your experience. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will review this internally to ensure better clarity and consistency in all parts of the tour. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
