We had really amazing experience with our guide Esraa. Everything from start to end was perfect. Esraa arrived on time for the pickup and guided us through the day. She was prompt with various bookings and looked after us for the whole duration. She knew the perfect picture clicking spots and helped with multiple pictures as well. Such an amazing personality who knows the history with such a passion. She put in loads of efforts to make the history lesson easier to understand for my 8 year old daughter. Highly recommend

Not just a simple tour, but a magnificent circle where our amazing guide Ebrahim connected, with his passion, devotion and hunger for knowledge, every single grain of sand surrounding Egyptian history...and more. He's someone we would have listened for days. We walked through magical places, corridors made for kings and queens, tombs decorated with past, present and future, curiosities and special spots that were only visible to his expert eye. We visited magnificent sites and we always felt safe and incredibly happy. If you are looking for a guide that makes every single minute of the tour worth, that's him. Also, a special thanks to our very professional and polite driver Zakaria that patiently waited for us and drove us around. Coming back to Egypt, they will be out first choice. No doubt!

There are no words to describe what I experienced today. Since I was a kid, I've always been in love with ancient Egyptian history and I finally got to visit One of the most beautiful countries in the world. Today my dream came true thanks to our driver Zakaria and our outstanding guide Ebrahim. Who went above and beyond for us. He's not your typical guide who leaves you with more questions than answers. He quenched my insatiable thirst for knowledge with tons of curiosities and extra beautiful stories and words of wisdom, making our visit to the Saqqara and Giza pyramids one of the greatest experiences of my life. I'm so glad I booked the tour with this company 'cause they made me meet such a great human being. I'd recommend this beautiful experience to everyone.

Nagwan (the tour guide) and Farouk (the driver) were great. We enjoyed this private tour. It was worth it. She was lovely, easygoing, and accommodating. The lunch was included, but limited options to choose from. However, the food and service was good. I highly recommend this tour with this company.
