Best Tour/Guides EVER! ❤️

Christine_W, Apr 2026
The most AMAZING Tour Guides and Experience. Even took pictures of us in gorgeous locations and carried our packages. Negotiated for us and always made sure we were safe and well cared for. Could not recommend Mustafa and Mary enough! ❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU! Trip of a Lifetime! Egypt is BREATHTAKING!

Great Tour. Excellent Guide. Safe Driver

BS_G, Mar 2026
Kareim is a very good tour guide and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He also knew the right places to shop for souvenirs and protected me from being harassed. His driver was also very good and I felt safe with him driving through the busy streets downtown. I highly recommend this tour.

Disappointing experience

annie, Feb 2026
I requested a female guide. My guide was a 25 year old male who spoke too loudly and hovered over me. I felt suffocated. I do not feel he was a professional tour agent. I requested that I end my experience early and they took me back to my hotel.

The perfect bazaar tour in Cairo

Elizabeth_M, Oct 2025
My friend and I wanted to visit the bazaars in Cairo before embarking on an intensive guided tour of Egypt, this was perfect. Our guide was helpful, courteous, knowledgable and allowed us to tailor the visit to our interests. This was the perfect way to start our adventure.

Outstanding Guide – Amr Ehab Made Egypt Unforgettable

Adelia_T, Oct 2025
We had the pleasure of having Amr Ehab as our guide through the Egyptian market, and he was absolutely excellent. Amr’s knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made the entire experience smooth, informative, and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure we understood the culture, history, and value of what we were seeing, while also making the tour engaging and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly outstanding guide in Egypt.

Market and Mosque

Great tour with abdelrahman at the bazaar

Matthew_D, Apr 2025
If you would like a great tour of the bazaar and mosque, go no further than here. A great tour with abdelrahman and shady our wonderful driver. We had a lot fun with a lot of advice and knowledge from abdelrahman. Great tour

Beautiful excursion

Miriam_G, Nov 2025
Nice excursion. Especially the visit to the mosque will stay with us. Guide Mo was top, willing, friendly, very good and clear explanation at all buildings. Souks are also well worth a visit. A nice refreshing fruit drink we received as a farewell. Everything neatly as agreed and on time.
