Family tour of Cairo - Farouk and his guide and drivers (Nasser, Mustafa and Tamer) were great. Very professional and reliable with clear communication. Strongly recommend getting a guide for Cairo as it's a chaotic city. Really enjoyed visit to pyramids, Saqqara, Coptic Cairo, Egyptian museum, Nile tour, market and the citadel.

Fantastic - We cannot say enough good things and be more thankful for how much Farouk did for my family and I. First of, we had an incident with our lodging and he went above and beyond to accommodate us and keep us safe on our first night in Egypt. From then on he made sure we had activities that kept us entertained and having fun throughout our stay. He is passionate about teaching the history of his country and a great guide ensuring everyone is happy with the tours and also works around your schedule to accommodate your own customizations. We had a great time visiting the pyramids, museums, and the safari and magic lake were beyond our expectations. He also made sure we were fed like we were royalty and the food at the places he took us was fantastic!! If you want to have a fun and great time in Egypt, hire Farouk!!!

An amazing experience of the Pyramids and Cairo - We had an amazing time with this tour company. Cairo is not a city I would try to negotiate without a guide. Farouk arranged an excellent itinerary for us and our guide Fatima spoke perfect English and was very knowledgable and informative having completed a university degree in Egyptian history. Our driver Muhammed was friendly and punctual and safely and calmly drove us through the sometimes chaotic traffic to each site. We saw the pyramids, sphinx, several museums, historic churches and Mosques, markets, a perfume factory, papyrus paper manufacturer and a river cruise with live music and dancers. Above all the team were honest and proud to teach us of their great past and current culture and civilisation. We felt safe at all times and Farouk regularly checked to see all was going well and our needs were being met. I highly recommend this tour company.

Excellent tour guide service in every way. They went above and beyond and were honest, intelligent and kind. - We had a wonderful experience. Farouk helped organise an itinerary with us to make sure we saw the major sights of Cairo in our two days. Our guide, Fatima was warm, intelligent and professional. Her understanding of Egypt’s history was excellent, it was obvious that she had studied History at university and that she had a deep love of her country and it’s story. She was very accommodating making sure we had enough time to tour comfortably. We felt very safe at all times and our driver was also excellent, calm, kind and responsive. Farouk and his team were honest and went above and beyond, organising a Nile cruise and driver for us in the evening as well as transfers to the airport on our departure. While it was a brief visit we were given a deep insight into ancient and modern culture. I would highly recommend Farouk and his team for their intelligence, hospitality, warmth, knowledge and genuine care.

A man with many talents - MR.MOHAMMAD is the most perfect tour guide I've ever come across. First of all he showed us cairo as an Egyptian man who is in Deep love of its history but in a very interesting way which made us curious to know more. He was trying his best to simplify the information for my younger kids. The most important thing was my kids were really in love with him, he was as friend to them and respected each one of them. He also tried his best to make our trip unforgettable. He also make sure that every second counted .I highly recommend him. He is as a book of inspiration for cairo.

Amazing experience - The experience given to us by mr. Mohamed was 11/10. He had an extremely large amount of knowledge when it comes to ancient Egypt and Egypt in general. He guided us through the pyramids of Giza with kindness and information, and also took great pictures. Our experience with him from the first day was just too amazing to not do it again. We went around different places in Cairo the second day and you have to believe me how amazing a tour guide he is. Highly recommend.
