We had such a great experience with this company! Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the day was absolutely unforgettable A special thank you to our guide, Bassant (Flower). She was honestly the best! She took great care of everyone, made sure we were all comfortable, and answered every question with so much patience and knowledge. You can really tell she loves what she does, and she made the whole experience even more special The buffet lunch was also amazing—so many different options, and everything was really tasty I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you get Bassant as your guide❤️
It was an absolutely great day. Our guide "Adel" took an extraordinary amount of time to explain Egyptian history. That was truly fascinating. Thank you for that.
We had the great fortune to visit the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum with our guide Ekramy. The tour was excellently organized, very informative, and simultaneously entertaining. Our guide possessed impressive knowledge of the history of Egypt and was able to convey many exciting details clearly and with great enthusiasm.
Everything was very well organized, super guide, top! Highly recommended but also very exhausting!
I really enjoyed the tour. Everything was very well organized and ran smoothly throughout the day. Visiting the inside of the Great Pyramid was very important to me, and I appreciated that there was enough flexibility and time to make that possible. Guide Rams did a great job. The Grand Egyptian Museum was absolutely impressive and exceeded my expectations.
Great tour with the best tour guide one could wish for!!! He explained everything in detail, showed insider spots, and always had a joke ready! Huge thanks for this wonderful unforgettable day!
All in all, it was a great tour. Particularly noteworthy is the guide Adel, who took us in Cairo to the pyramids, the Sphinx, and through the GEM. Adel is a trained Egyptologist and provided us with an extremely interesting and informative day filled with many details and insights about all the sights and exhibits. One point deduction is for the pickup; our driver who picked us up in El Gouna and brought us to the tour bus was super punctual and very friendly. Unfortunately, we then had to wait another 45 minutes for the bus, as it was delayed due to other guests being late. Furthermore, the toilet on the bus was not really clean and was also a smell issue. But we would book the tour again anytime.
The tour was well planned, without stress and effort, just as one wishes for a relaxing trip. Our guide was very friendly and was able to convey a lot of expertise. Thanks to his good German skills and his humor, there was no boredom, and the tour was a complete success. We can highly recommend it!!
Mr Mowafy was exceptional. I was picked up early at 8:30am and dropped off at the museum. Its best to go early before the crowds.
We had a wonderful day with our guide Emile in a small group of 8 people. Emile was attentive to us. I highly recommend it.
