Amazing time had on a private tour with my Daughter. Hend was our guide and she was incredibly kind hearted and attentive throughout. Full of knowledge and great conversation, also a first class photographer 😎
It was a great choice for a private tour. All was very professional. On time pick up. Good vehicle. Interesting tour. Decent lunch. Highly recommend. And generally the team helped us a lot arranging our stay. Always responsive and supportive.
We booked a full day at Giza and a full day at Saqarra, Memphis and Dahshure. Haytham was our egyptian tour guide and with fluent english he presented the ancient history of Egypt, with many many historical details and debunked myths from pop culture. Every detail he explained was historically based and the "off the beaten path" sites he showed us were more interesting than a discovery channel documentary :) he also took us to local cafes and take away food that we didn't notice by ourselves and the food was delicious. If any of our friends will want to visit Egypt in the future we will deff recomend Nermin (tour operator), Haytham (tour guide) and Abdullah (private driver) - great humans!
We did the dessert tour and it was amazing experience. Sahl gave us great advice as to where to start the tour to avoud crowds. Every sight was impressive and beautiful and became even more interesting with sahl's stories about the history. Sahl is a great Guide very knowledgable and attentive with a very easygoing personality that would make anyone feel comfortable. We definately wouldn't have wanted to miss this tour and I will definitely go on tour with Sahl again. Recommend this tour to everyone.
For us it was super special our first time in the Pyramids of both Giza and Saqqara and the rest of the archaeological sites we had the opportunity to visit. Nothing would have been the same without our guide Sahl who was always willing to give us the smallest historical detail of each place. Thank you for making this experience more amazing than it was.
we were 4 adults and booked 3 day trip with guide and car pick up. It was totally worth. they covered one full day for Alexandria and 2 days Cairo and it includes all the entry tickets also. only veg food was an issue at few places. I had a wonderful time with Nermeen the tour guide and the driver. They both are very trustworthy people. They showed up on time every day and made sure I enjoyed my time here in Egypt. Nermeen is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist. All of the tours I participated in were amazing! The Camel ride at the Pyramids, The museums and the library of Alexandria just to name a few was awesome, also the restaurants we frequented had great food. I would recommend using their services, you won’t be disappointed.
Seeing the pyramids in real life is awe inspiring. Our whole family went and we were amazed. The guide, Nermen, was waiting for us in the hotel promptly and we quickly started out the day with information about Egypt and Cairo. Well spoken and definitely well skilled in Egyptian history. We started by visiting Memphis Museum. When we got there, I realised I forgot to pack my memory card for my camera. Nermen and Ahmed to the rescue. In the afternoon, we went to Giza Pyramids which was a great idea to avoid the crowds. Stay away from the vendors, they are annoying and if you show any interest at all you will be surronded by 20 of them.
I stayed in Giza for a little over a week and this was arguably the most fun I had. Getting to be up close to the pyramids, going in one, and getting educated on the ancient culture of Giza, Memphis, and Sakkara was a priceless memory. I had the perfect guide and driver. They both felt like instant friends. I learned so much and had great conversation with Yasser, the guide, and Ahmed, the driver. Yasser has deep knowledge on the history and the area. Ahmed made the ride very smooth and enjoyable. I can’t say enough about the two of them. Lunch was provided near Sakkara which was great. The service, the people and the food were perfect. I recommend them both for this tour; they work well together and I don’t think you can have a better time with anyone else!
We spent a day with asmaa and his driver Ayman. Everything went very well. Asmaa gave us all the necessary explanations during the visit. It's great to have found a guide in French. We recommend!!!!!
While searching for tour guide in Cairo found Ms. Nermin Magdi through Viator and been contacted provide us the itinerary and price. Ms. Nermin arranged everything from airport pick up in Cairo till drop us back to Cairo airport. Ms. Nermin arranged her apartment for our first night stay and morning / evening view to Pyramid was amazing from her balcony. Cairo is a hectic city without sleep all the way can see vehicle passing through day and night. Been to Citadel and Khan Al Khalili market accompanied by Ms. Nermin and explained the history behind. Ms. Nermin arranged our tour to other parts of Egypt like Luxor and Aswan. Had a hot balloon trip early freezing morning and Karnak temple in the afternoon. Ms. Nermin is a highly recommended and reliable agent as what we feel while booking and upon completion of our trip.
Thank you so much sir 😊
