We stayed two days in Cairo and Sherif and his collaborators were exceptional. precise and kind. we recommend to everyone as a guide and for doing tours.
Guide prepared and speaking Italian really very well, we really enjoyed it, super recommended. Very good driver, very attentive and courteous.
Sheriff excellent guide, professional, prepared, accompanied us for a full day in Cairo through the old citadel, mosques and churches present. Always available, even in the following days to help us in case of difficulties (even without any gain). If I ever go back to Egypt I'd get the tour organized by him!
Everything was great , the organization ,the tour guide has a lot of knowledge and experience and the driver was very good , it was very good day
What a truly special and one of a kind experience. We went into two pyramids. Seeing and touching hieroglyphs. To be alone in the rooms and chambers was ethereal. One of the most memorable experiences from our travels.
I did few solo tours to Giza and Cairo. I really enjoyed the service and would recommend it. Having someone who knows how to make an solo tour interesting was the best part of my Egypt adventure.
Great experience thanks to Sherif, Recommendation to everyone, kind, helpful and with fantastic tales of ancient Egypt
Mostafa Ortega was an amazing tour guide! He worked with us on a three day excursion package and included everything we wanted! I was a History major in college, and he answered every one of my questions about ancient Egypt and taught us so much valuable knowledge. He has credible experience in the field and every other tour guide loves him. He took amazing photos and videos for us that will last a lifetime! He told us the best things to do and what to avoid. Our day was full of fun and good laughs as well. Will definitely recommend Mostafa to anyone and will book again!
Our tour guide Mostafa Ortega was absolutely amazing! He tailored our days specifically for us. He knows the best places to go and the places to avoid. We thought we studied our Egyptian history but he was so insightful and we learned a lot on this trip! He captured so many amazing photos and videos for us that will last a lifetime! I wouldn’t want any other tour guide and will definitely book him again when we hopefully return someday!
Sherif guided us on a truly perfect guided tour of the Pyramids of Giza and Sakkara. He is a highly experienced guide, speaks perfect Italian and used every moment of the visits and the trip to tell us the story of the monuments we visited and Egypt in general. Consigliatissimo!
