Had the most amazing experience! Our guide Sayed was so knowledgeable, so very helpful and patient. We had so much fun and he was always professional. If I got back to Egypt 🇪🇬 again, I will request this guide, that made the difference! Thank you! 🥰
Sayed was awesome!! He arranged our entire trip from picking our family up at the airport to dropping us off after our 2 days of exploring Cairo and the pyramids. He was very informative, spoke excellent English, always on time, helped us navigate all the crowds, and provided a great experience for our first trip to Egypt. He treated our family like his!! Would definitely recommend booking a trip with him!
I don't often write reviews but now I just have to. If you want a nice, competent guide, Sayed is it. We didn't wait anywhere, he knew how to take pictures, knew people, pointed out tourist traps, perfect historical knowledge...and more. Sayed, thank you very much
We had a fantastic day trip to Cairo from Hurghada. From start to finish the organisers took control. Ahmed the guide was brilliant. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Cairo and the Pyramids. I highly recommend!
Sayed Gamal was an exceptional guide, always pointing out historical facts and details on the architecture of the various monuments we visited. His English is perfect and he was punctual and very professional in both days I used his services. He was even game for some tower climbing which was really fun! Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of Ahmed's company for three whole days whilst in Cairo, starting with this tour. Such an eye-opening and unique experience to have a local guide to provide the insight and history of what we were experiencing. The mosques were welcoming, calm and beautiful to behold, whilst El Moaz street was vibrant and energetic. We welcomed Ahmed's attention to taking breaks from the sightseeing and the mint tea and sugar cane juice were very welcome. Highly recommended.
Absolutely an amazing visit to Cairo, our tour guide Sayed and driver made our experience all the more remarkable! Sayed was very well organized, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, patient and great personality. Highly recommend a trip to Egypt, wish we had more time there. Definitely recommend Cairo by night experience, along with the must do Pyramids, museums and a dinner cruise on the Nile river. Until next time Sayed!
We feel so lucky to have had Mr. Sayed as our guide during our 3 day trip to Cairo and Alexandria. He is a true gentleman also kind, patient and thoughtful man. Thanks to him everything went smoothly and we didn’t have a single problem. We honestly think it was the best trip we could have had. He explained every place in detail and answered all of our questions with patience. He always let us decide how we wanted to spend our time, so we could enjoy the trip exactly the way we wished without any stress. Visiting museums and historical sites with such a knowledgeable guide was an amazing experience. With Mr. Sayed and our driver Abdullah, we felt completely safe and comfortable exploring Cairo and Alexandria. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone planning to visit Egypt!
We had a 3-day trip with Sayed, spending 2 days in Cairo and 1 day in Alexandria. He is an expert in his field and a very understanding guide, explaining every detail we saw. Throughout the tour, he was always cheerful and very considerate with timing, giving us the opportunity to explore everything thoroughly. Especially in the museums, he carefully explained the history of each piece. I sincerely thank him for these wonderful 3 days. If you are looking for a tour in Cairo, Mr. Sayed is truly a master of his craft!
We had an incredible experience with Ahmed and his team during our time in Egypt. Their knowledge, professionalism, and warm hospitality made the trip unforgettable. The information they shared was fascinating and really brought the history to life. I can’t recommend them highly enough – if you’re heading to Egypt, Ahmed is the guide you want!
