Ahmed was truly amazing. He has great knowledge of Egyptian history and really loves sharing it. He really went out of his way to make things interesting a was also extremely accommodating when we wanted to change the schedule. Great guide. The driver was also excellent - always on time with clean vehicle and good aircon.
Ahmed was absolutely amazing. He handled everything from hotel pick up to drop off. He assisted with quick admission to the museum. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my son’s questions with great patience. He knows so much about Egyptian history! He gave us a few options of where to go for lunch and we decided on a local buffet. The food and service there was 5 stars! We actually booked another day trip with him for tomorrow to do a full day tour of Cairo! If you visit Cairo, I would highly recommend that you get a private tour guide and Ahmed is superb

Our tour guide was very friendly, attentive and patient, the visit to the museum was exceptional thanks to him and even though the agency had logistical delays and picked us up an hour later, thanks to Mohamed , we hired a tour for the next day to the pyramids of Giza

DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY!!! Our guide said NOTHING the entire time and I asked lots of questions but she didn't understand anything because she didn't speak any English. I also had to pay for her ticket around the museum which is ridiculous. I'm trying to get a refund and the customer service are terrible. They keep passing me onto different people, I highly doubt I'll speak to anyone. Complete and utter waste of money!
We take this feedback seriously, but this does not reflect our usual service standards. All our guides are licensed and English-speaking, and we do not allow guests to pay for any guide tickets under any circumstances. Regarding your case, we have already processed a full refund for the amount you paid. If you have any further concerns, please contact us directly with your booking details.

We had an amazing tour with Hind - she was the best tour guide we have had since being in Egypt! She was really informative and fun and we didn’t feel too rushed as we had done on previous tours. We will definitely be contacting Hind again for future visits to Egypt and will recommend her to friends. I’m sure that other guides from this company will be great too. Thanks so much - see you next time..!! 😊

She truly is an outstanding guide, and we’re very proud to have her on our team. We really appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about our company.

Hind was our life saviour after our first tour didn't show up. And we were happy that he didn't show up because otherwise we wouldn't have met Hind! She was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her job and Egyptian history. We learnt so much from her and at the same time she made our tour so enjoyable and funny. We were not rushed in any sense, she guided us and explained everything to us and left us to our own Accord to explore and take pictures. P.S let Hind take your selfies on the pyramids they are great fun. If I ever come back to Egypt. Hind will be my first and only choice. Will miss her funny & light hearted attitude, she was just great. And do let her recommend Egyptian food for you too. Love you Hind ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and wonderful review. We’re truly happy that meeting Hind turned your experience around and made your tour so special. Her deep knowledge, passion for Egyptian history, and cheerful personality really do make a difference, and we’re proud she’s part of our team. It’s great to hear that you felt relaxed, well guided, and still had the freedom to explore and enjoy every moment. We’ll definitely pass along your kind words to Hind — especially about the selfies and food recommendations! We would love to welcome you back to Egypt, and Hind will be more than happy to be your guide again. ❤️
