Don’t hesitate to book!

Mimo was an excellent tour guide and knowledgeable Egyptologist. He was very patient with us taking photos, knew all the photo spots, answered all of our questions, he also helped us avoid tourist traps like the sellers! We loved the tour and recommend doing one to fully understand the history! The tour we booked included the Pyramids, Sphinx, camel ride and then Mimo told us on the day that we’d visit an aromatherapy store and papyrus store. Ashraf was an excellent safe driver!

Amazing, safe and educational tour

We had an amazing tour with Mimo and Peter today! We were a bit conserned about long tiring tours with two children (2 and 9) but this was put to shame when the day started with a warm welcome by the two wonderful persons. Esspecially Mimo who has incredicible knowledge a out the pyramids, history and facts. He is fluent and easy to understand - and makes sure to put a childfriendly angle to the storytelling. Peter made us feel absolutely safe in the chaotic Cairo traffic and went above and beyond to make sure we could find a place a place to relax when we were done an hour before our flight back to Hurghada. We have tried many guided tours in various destinations around the world, but this was by far one of best experiences, esspecially when considering how much haggling we have experienced in Egypt. Thet both deserve our highest recommendations!

Well organized tour with very professional guide and driver

Our guide sameh picked us up on time, led us to the pyramids with a great view, gave us enough time for photos, and he is very knowledgeable about his job. We also enjoyed camel ride, visits to the museum, and a trip to the market in central. Overall a very well organized trip

Amazing Tour of Pyramids

Amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Our tour guide Mimo and driver Yasin were wonderful. Mimo is a highly educated guide and provided a wealth of information, able to answer all questions in colloquial English. Yasin is a careful driver who kept our belongings safe in the van as we toured the amazing sites. Mimo knew all the best poses and vantage points to take the best pictures. Mimo also was welll organized and served as a barrier between our group and all the trinket sellers. Would highly recommend.

Tour pyramids

booked this tour a few days before my arrival to Cairo with Zeinab. She was very fast in responding to our requests and organizing in the most efficient way our 2 days in Cairo. We were lucky to have Mimo as our guide, he took the time to take the best pictures. We had 2 amazing days in Cairo. Loved my experience and I will definitely go back and call Mimo and Zeinab because I need to explore more Egypt. Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏

Fun tour of Cairo & Giza with Mimo

Mimo is what you would wish your tour guide would be like: knowledgeable (he's an Egyptologist), professional, and have a GREAT sense of humor :D Our young kids thoroughly enjoyed his historical explanation, fun facts, and quizzes (!) All delivered in super comical, yet educational way (he'd be a great vlogger / YouTuber). Mimo truly made our wonderful tour in Cairo become memorable. He provided valuable explanation that made me feel it would be a loss for me as a tourist if I were just to come alone & see those historical sites & artifacts without context / backstory. And if you got stuck in Cairo traffic jam? No problem, just start talking about football with him :D Thanks, Mimo! Rest assured anytime our family talk about our Egypt trip, your name will be mentioned in that story. As for constructive feedback to the tour program: maybe you can take away the perfume / herbal oil house from your program, it's skippable & not in the same 'wow' level as the other places ;)

Fantastic experience when visiting the pyramids at an unbeatable price.

I had a fantastic experience in the company of Zenab who was our guide for visiting the pyramids. She is extremely friendly and competent. We visited the site on an early Saturday morning to avoid the heat, Cairo traffic and crowds. The tour included entrance to the pyramid site, a 20-minute camel tour through the desert to take incredible photos, dinner at a local restaurant with stunning views of the Sphinx, a tour and demonstration of an essential oils workshop, and a visit to a papyrus making workshop. The asking price for the half day is unbeatable. I strongly recommend that you use the services of Zenab. I will definitely participate in another round when I next come to Egypt.
