Great day with Mak. He is very friendly and took us to all the places we wanted. He have very good explanations too. We were happy to take the tour with him.
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
It was a great day! Special requests were easily met and there was a lot of information about ancient and new Egypt. Also the driver was great and relaxed.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m delighted you enjoyed the experience. Your feedback is truly appreciated.
Mak is the best guide in Cairo! I strongly recommend him to everyone. Our tour to Saqqara and the Pyramids was perfect and very well organized. From start to finish, the entire trip was perfectly organized. What really stood out was how personalized the tour was—Mak tailored everything to our pace and interests, making us feel like more than just tourists. He provided an unforgettable experience, blending deep historical knowledge with fascinating cultural insights. It wasn't just a tour; it was a deep dive into Egypt’s soul. If I ever return to Cairo, Mak will be the first person I call. If you want a seamless, professional, and truly personal guide, look no further! Thank you Mak see you soon!!
See you soon great family .
The full-day excursion to the Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Serapeum proved to be a globally positive experience, especially thanks to the logistical support provided. The transportation between the various points of interest and the general orientation along the route were fundamental elements to enjoy each moment without additional worries. In this sense, the organization of the tour is clearly worth it. However, we feel that the quality of the follow-up could have been more consistent, especially with regard to the historical content presented. Considering the cultural and archaeological richness of these sites, it would be expected that the guide would demonstrate a deeper knowledge, able to contextualize each monument and offer a more complete and rigorous perspective. The fact that the visit was conducted in Portuguese was a very positive point, facilitating communication and interaction throughout the day. Still, we believe that this linguistic facility could have been better exploited to enrich the experience with more detailed and informative explanations. In short, the tour performs well the logistical function and offers a good introduction to the sites visited, but there is clear room to improve the historical preparation of the guide, in order to provide a truly complete and memorable experience.
Agradecemos su valoración y nos alegra su satisfacción con la organización. Su observación sobre el contenido histórico ha sido tomada en cuenta y ya estamos trabajando en su mejora para ofrecer una experiencia más profunda. Esperamos darles la bienvenida nuevamente con una experiencia aún más destacada.
The tour guide was wonderful! The only reason that I’m giving it a three star is because we could not understand him!! He seemed to know a lot about what he was talking about. But there was such minimum communication because of his thick Egyptian accent. We speak English. Possibly the tour company did not realize that.
Thank you. with my respect for your opinion .. yes, you are right, but we started our day late ,( 11:30 ) which makes me think about the itinerary schedule .. also Iam Egyptian my native language is arabic .. not : all the government officials close at 4:00 pm for Ramadan time .
Great time. Really knowledgeable guide
Thanks ☺️ dear friend
Mak was an excellent guide and Mohamed the driver was very careful. We saw very interesting things and had enough time to enjoy our trip
Thanks 🤠🥳
Mohammed knows a lot about history, locations to go in Cairo and is funny and talkative. Recommend it for sure!
talkative ") . thanks
Very nice excursion. The guide was knowledgeable and nice. Saqqara and especially Serapeum was absolutely fantastic
thank you
I choose this tour because i really wanted to visit the serapeum. I thought because of the price i would be part of a larger group, but no it was a private tour for only me, which gave some freedom in which order to do the program. Mohammed was very kind & knowledgeable and would answer all my questions. Because of a previous accident i was in a lot of pain when walking so he even brought me to a doctor who quickly identified the issue and gave some medication which really helped. I would highly recommend booking this trip of you want a personalised 5 star experience
Hope you get better now .. wishing for you best vacation
