Roaa is just wonderful! She takes her time to explain everything carefully and offers whole day tours to the best places in/around Cairo. Also the driver Mohammed is very nice and pleasent to be with. Would always redo and recommend to all future visitors!! Lovely day!
Roee was the nicest guide we had in Egypt. She really took her time to explain us everything. She asked us what we wanted to see and also showed us the local shops. The driver Mohamed was also very good and always there for us to drive us around. I can definitely recommend her/them
The tour was amazing We started with GEM then the pyramids We had the chance to have our lunch in the pyramids area and after that we went to Elkhalili Market Roaa explained everything to us She was kind and took us everywhere we asked We also did a surprise stop to a jewellery shop Totally recommend !!
I couldn’t recommend this tour enough! We were picked up at our hotel on time by our driver and personal tour guide Abdelrahman. Our guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, an incredible photographer taking insta-worthy photos, air dropping them to us and very friendly! We visited the pyramids, the sphinx, had a camel ride, learned how papyrus is made, went to the incredible Great Egyptian Museum, had an Egyptian meal at a lovely restaurant with aircon and went to the market. AbdelRahman was a crucial part of our tour as he helped us learn about Egypt history, took amazing photos of us and helped us navigate the market to know where to buy quality artifacts or fixed price. We had a flight out of Cairo Airport in the evening, and we could pay an extra fee and get dropped off after our tour which was so helpful. Overall, this tour was extraordinary and I would recommend it to anyone. I hope you get Abdi as a guide!!!
