Mohamed was our guide for the Pyramids tour - both he and the driver were excellent. Mohamed met us in the foyer of our Hotel and gave us a brief introduction to the history behind what we were about to see. We began by visiting Saquarra ... what a complex and so quiet ... it felt like we had the place to ourselves - had no idea how extensive this complex was ... definitiely worth a visit and much older than any other sites we had visited - 3rd Dynasty!! We then went onto Daschur and ended up in Giza. Brilliant tour would highly recommend, particularly with this guide and driver combo.
This was a really good trip. Mimo was really patient with us and made sure we enjoyed every part of the tour. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the pyramids and even in current Egyptian culture. We had more time at all the places. He even got us some good falafel. Overall, I would recommend him and the company.
Booked a tour with Cleopatra Egypt Tours for two weeks. I highly recommend them as an agency. They were very prompt to answer any questions I had via email and were responsive to our requests. Our main tour guide was Mohamed. He was very thorough in explaining the history behind the monuments and made the tour fun. We also had Mimmo, Elia, Samy, Mena and Peter as our guides. They were also great and professional. Fully satisfied!
Amazing day out awe inspiring views. Would highly recommend. Our guide Mahmoud Hoka was fantastic a pleasure to meet and learn from.
A lifetime ambition experienced today. Words hard to describe how amazing this trip was. Mahmoud Hoka made the day perfect. Knowledgeable giving us just the right amount of information and time to enjoy each site at our own time. Would recommend to all as a fantastic experience with an outstanding guide. Thank you or a wonderful day
He is the best tour guide hands down for the pyramids on the Giza plateau and in the northern region of Egypt.He is simply put the most knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining professional that you can find to guide you through the unknowns of Giza. He was my private guide and has access that is above and beyond the wildest expectations. No detail is overlooked or denied when your in his care. You will have the treatment of a king or queen from this man. No lines with all doors opened you will have. This man has been doing this for quite a while and is known and respected by everyone from other respected guides to security personal and police. If you wish an activity he will undoubtedly find a way to grant it. I found him to be entertaining and personal with the utmost of private professional intimacy. He is HIGHLY, HIGHLY, RECOMMENDED. an asset to his wonderful tour company! Keep up the great work! Till next time my friend!!!!!
