I am lucky that Heba was my tour guide. She was kind, friendly, easy to talk to and informative. She made sure to answer all my questions, and encouraged me to ask more. She even made sure to take me to places in the pyramids that were off the beaten path and had amazing views. At the GEM she was patient and made sure I got to see what I wanted to see. I would 100% recommend this tour and Heba as your guide. Thank you!
Fabulous two day tour of Cairo from Alexandria cruise port. For our group of 11, Vagus set up a custom itinerary to match our cruise arrival and departure. Our Cairo guide Mustafa skilfully managed the time to maximize what the group wanted most including the perfume and papyrus workshops. The hotel and restaurants they chose (included) were efficient and good quality. We so enjoyed the lighted fountain and dancing during the Dinner cruise on the Nile! The felucca ride during the day complimented the night Nile view. They provided a great photographer, Mahmoud, for the group, to capture all the moments of the tour (included). Our driver kept us safe in the hair-raising traffic. All in all we highly recommend Vagus for your Egypt experience.
We had an unforgettable, seamless experience in Egypt thanks to our tour guides! Mustafa was our overall guide for the day and Amal was our guide at the pyramids and museum. Our driver was skilled and careful — including navigating some gnarly traffic in Alexandria on the way back. The van was comfortable for our group of 6. Mustafa is friendly and capable, and communicated clearly with us leading up to and during our trip. Amal is incredibly warm, welcoming and knowledgable — she has her master’s in Egyptology, and has been working as a tour guide for > 20 years. We can’t recommend her enough! She is clearly passionate about ancient Egyptian history and really made it come alive for us. The new Grand Egyptian Museum is simply incredible and the perfect way to cool off after the pyramids. We also visited a perfumery, papyrus shop, and jewelry store where you can get pieces customized with your name in hieroglyphics. We opted to skip the bazaar at the end of a full day. Everyone we met was so welcoming and grateful to have tourists visit. A couple of things to be aware of: the camel ride is substantial! Like a good 20 minutes. Not for the faint of heart but extremely fun! FYI, the camel guy (not affiliated with the tour company) was pretty demanding for tips. Amal recommended about $2 a person and when we gave him $40 for our group of 6, he balked and asked for more — just something to be aware of. Also, while we stopped at a grocery store about halfway to Cairo for some snacks, it didn’t seem like lunch was part of the plan, so we had to ask to get some lunch around 2pm, but the team was flexible and ready to accommodate. We highly recommend the museum restaurant actually — pretty cheap and delicious!
We had an amazing day with Amal as a tour guide. We visited everything we wanted. Amal was very attentive and he had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the view. She was also very knowledgable about Egyptian history and answered all of our questions! Would reccomend to everybody!
