Visiting the Pyramids and other tourist sites for 2 days truly would not have had the same impact if it weren't for the guide Basma. Learning about the history and details of each place becomes a total experience; on the other hand, Basma's human quality, empathy, and sensitivity make the tours completely unmatched. Thank you very much for all the dedication and love in the work done. People of this human quality add a magical touch to each of the tours.

Mohamed Elshemei was our tour guide very polite and was very informative! His English was very good and he was the best at taking the money shots at each and every opportunity! Especially at the grand pyramid and the Sphinx . It was our daughter’s birthday and Mo was very sweet to her gifting her a present . He also takes you too jewellery shops and shops for oils spices and Egyptian paper/picture shops which are a special place to buy gifts if you wish too.

Myself and my coworker went to Cairo and set up this tour. Our private guide was Mohamed Elshemei withe the driver being Samah. I can not say enough nice things about the interaction. Lots of information about each of the things we saw!!! We were even asking about some shopping off site and he and the driver Samah knew what we wanted and took us where we needed to be to do it. Overall if I could have given a higher score I would have.If I get back to Cairo I will book again through this site and ask for Mohamed for my next adventure

My tour guide was Ahmed Tika. He was the best tour guide ever. His knowledge on ancient Egyptian history as well as more recent history was outstanding. He explained everything in very close detail and answered all my questions I had about the history of the pyramids and Sphinx and more. Ahmed was very nice and was always keeping a watch over me. Thank you Ahmed. Also the driver was very nice and drove the car very smoothly. He did a great job.
