KatieUnited Kingdom Today was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt, and that was largely thanks to our incredible tour guide, Doha. From the moment we met her, we felt safe and comfortable, and the entire day was a smooth and enjoyable experience despite being packed with activities. She was friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. Her enthusiasm for Egypt’s history was contagious and helped bring every site we visited to life. As someone who already has a strong interest in ancient Egypt, I was particularly impressed by the depth of her knowledge. She was able to go beyond the standard tourist information and provide fascinating insights that made the experience far more meaningful. Throughout the day she was attentive, patient, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We never felt rushed and always felt well looked after. She also worked seamlessly with our driver, making what could have been a stressful day in Cairo feel effortless and enjoyable.
Probably the safest way to see so many important historical sites. The hours are long and hot but staff keep your hydrated, fed & full of food. Such a fascinating educational experience from generations of knowledgeable professionals.

He quickly told us not to panic about the traffic and the way people drive in busy Cairo, reassuring us that he would keep us safe — which he absolutely did. We then met our tour guide, Nasser, who was very informative throughout the whole tour. He was also an excellent photographer who always wanted to help us get great photos and knew all the best spots and angles for the perfect pictures. Ahmed and Nasser worked really well together as a team. The lunch was lovely, and the museum had so much to see. Overall, it was a really good day and a fantastic experience.

ChantelleUnited Kingdom I cannot begin to explain what an amazing day we had. Firstly our drivers both collecting us in Cairo and Sharm were both very sweet and punctual. When we got to Cairo we saw the amazing pyramids and sphinx (You cannot come to Egypt and not see this) We then made our way to get gorgeous Egyptian oils and were explained the benefits of everything with no pressure to buy something if not wanted( We of course bought three !) We learnt all above the history of the Egyptians and where all the culture and heritage came from and saw all the wonderful preserved artifacts at the museum of. Now the star of the show …. Our gorgeous guide Sherif. So patient , knowledgable, patient for photos and an amazing photographer! This was the best day we have had in Egypt and this is the second trip ! Definitely worth every penny
LaetitiaUnited Kingdom We had an absolutely incredible experience with our tour guide during our visit to the pyramids. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make the day unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating history and stories that brought every site to life. One of the highlights was how he helped us find the perfect photo spots, we came home with amazing pictures we never would have found on our own. He also took us to the museum and made sure we didn’t miss any of the must-see exhibits, while still keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. Every stop felt thoughtfully planned, and it was clear he knew all the best places to go. If you’re visiting and want a smooth, informative, and memorable experience, we couldn’t recommend him more highly. Truly a fantastic guide!
HamidUnited Kingdom The whole experience was incredible. We had car transfers to and from the airport. The drivers were very friendly. The flights were short and comfy. Hager, our excellent guide was like a professor of ancient Egyptian history! She was fun and knew exactly what we wanted to see (as timing was important). I would give her 7 Stars if I could! We saw the pyramids, museum and the market with a delicious buffet lunch in between. We left at 7am and were back before 11pm. I would highly recommend this trip…
