Memorable tailored 2-day excursion nearby Cairo. I had an incredible experience with the agency owner Isra, my private guide Wahba and the driver Mohammed. As I had limited time but wanted to explore as much as possible, Isra arranged an itinerary that included visiting the Giza pyramids and Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, Tahir Square and then the Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshour day experience. I was solo traveling and it was a great decision to arrange airport/hotel transfers and the excursions which were fun. Very grateful to the whole team.
We found this agency randomly and we were not sure to what expect: it has been amazing, profesional and punctual: Esraa our guide was very attentive to our needs and wishes, giving us the right explanations and guiding us perfectly. We traveled with our 2 kids and adapted to their pace in a nice mini van with all comfort. Always good advices, spot for pictures (she took amazing photos by the way), we fully recommend their services to visit Egypt.
Thank you dear Alex

Excellent!!! I could not give any higher praise for Esraa!! She was fun and flexible and knowledgeable. She brought ancient Egypt alive while answering our questions about modern day Cairo as well. Our entire family had a great time and we will be back and we will ONLY be booking with Esraa!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Esra is a true professional, exceptionally courteous and very friendly. She gave us literally one of the BEST days in cairo, giza and saqqara. She is so knowledgeable and you simply have so much to learn from her. She can design tours to your liking and definitely hands down someone made for the job of a tour guide. You will always feel exceptionally safe and in good hands. I would give her 300 stars if I could.
Today my family and I enjoyed all the explaining of Esraa in English and Arabic. She made easy all our request and taught some magic tricks of how to strike a pose for unforgettable photos. We appreciated to have point of view and knowledge in some historical and legend topic. Very professional guide, she is punctual. Tour on a camel was a surprise. Launch was great in a beautiful place. The next step is to teach her Italian:) thank you and Thank to the great driver who with patience accompanied us.
Good organizer, it was an unforgettable day with your effort and extraordinary explanation I recommend Esraa for everyone without any regrets
I was blown away by the serapeum experience at Saqqara! Wow! Amazing! Although I do have to say all of my experiences have been amazing. Esraa Ahmed is the best!
I had a wonderful time in Egypt. My guide Esraa was brilliant and super knowledgeable, her english was excellent. She answered my every questions with a smile and certainly helped me understand the culture. I am female, travelling solo and felt very safe with her. Pyramids tour in Egypt is a must and I highly recommended with Esraa. Thank you Esraa, best tour guide ever!!
