Great day in a huge museum with my friends
We booked this tour directly with Egypt Tailor Made. Egyptian Museum was amazing and our guide Sabry was so informative and added so much to the experience. He was also great at the pyramids and Sphynx with his knowledge. Wonderful experience. Have no hesitation in recommending
It is wonderful to see another great review for Sabry! He truly has a gift for making both the ancient monuments and the museum galleries come alive with his knowledge. Here is a warm, human response for your Tripadvisor page: "Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for booking directly with us!

We had a great tour with Mr Tawfik of the pyramids, GEM, Sakkara and part of old Cairo. His knowledge of all the sites was tremendous. He was able to take us into some sites closed to others, which was amazing. It was also very helpful to have a guide to navigate you through all the sites and lines quickly. We highly recommend Tawfik. Also Emad our driver was great in Cairo’s crazy traffic!

This was a really excellent experience, great value for the money. Heba was a wonderful guide, sharing great facts but not overwhelming us, helping us feel like we really got to know the country, and even making us take some cool photos we would never have asked for that turned out great. She was also flexible as we adjusted a couple things. The value paid here for a private experience was excellent, no unnecessary frills just great value for the money.
Tawfik guided us for a two-day tour through the Citadel, several mosques, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Saqqara. He took us through the highlights, explained hieroglyphics, described the significance and gave us free time for photography.
Heba, our guide on this day, we can recommend 100%
Great tour, seamless organisation and an outstanding tour guide Sabry - he was professional, very kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He is a highly educated Egyptologist and seems to know everything about ancient Egypt, making clear distinction between facts, hypotheses and myths. Equally importantly, he tailored the depth and pace of the tour perfectly to our interests and level, without overwhelming us and making every moment enjoyable and effortless. He has an expert eye (and lots of experience too!) for the best photo spots too - we wouldn’t be tourists if we didn’t want those perfect holiday pics - and we got some of the best with him. Top notch experience all round!
This is such a sophisticated and thoughtful review! We are absolutely thrilled that Sabry’s expertise made such a deep impression on you. Here is a warm, human response for you: "Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We are so glad to hear that your day at the Pyramids and the GEM was 'top notch' from start to finish. Sabry is a true scholar, and we love that you appreciated the way he distinguishes between facts, hypotheses, and myths. It’s that level of depth that really makes our history come alive! We’re also so pleased to hear he found that perfect balance for you—sharing his immense knowledge without it ever feeling overwhelming. And of course, we’ll be sure to tell him you loved the photo spots! He knows exactly how to beat the crowds to get those iconic shots, and he’ll be so happy to know he helped you capture the perfect holiday memories. Thank you for choosing Egypt Tailor Made. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again for more discoveries! Warmly, The Egypt Tailor Made Team"

We did alot with her and she let us go at our pace and was very helpful and patient with our needs! Great Lady! She is family!
This review is absolutely heartwarming! There is no greater compliment for us than hearing that a guide started as a professional and ended up feeling like family. Here is a warm, human response for you: "Reading this has put the biggest smile on our faces! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy that you had such a wonderful three days exploring Cairo and Giza with Manar. Manar is truly special, and we love that you appreciated her flexibility and patience. We always want our guests to set the pace—after all, it’s your vacation!

My wife and I went on a whole day private tour with Mrs Heba (and Driver) It was about 100 US$. Mrs Heba was very good with excellent Knowledge and was very pleasant and friendly. She helped us get the tickets for the GEM and was fluent in English. The tickets to the sites were not included and the lunch was eaten in the back of the car. This suited us as we didn't waste an hour in a restaurant! Retired English Couple.
Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review of your "bucket list" day! We are delighted that you and your wife had such a pleasant experience exploring the Giza Pyramids and the GEM with Heba. It’s great to hear that Heba’s fluency and knowledge made the day seamless, and we're glad she could assist with the ticketing process to keep things stress-free. We also love that you enjoyed the "picnic" style lunch in the car—it’s a fantastic way to maximize your time at the sites, and we’re happy that this flexible approach worked so well for you! We truly appreciate you choosing us for such a special trip. We wish you both many more wonderful adventures in your retirement! Warm regards, The Egypt Tailor Made Team
