Amazing Egypt - Visiting Egypt was an amazing experience. The entire trip went seamless without us ever having to worry about anything. The transport and accommodation were always clean and comfortable, the food options were very good and we felt safe at all times. It' s also important to mention the utmost professionalism of Narmer Tours. Mr Ahmed has been a delight to deal with. Looking forward to do the experience again. Mr Sami Qatar

Enthusiastic and responsible tour guide, a special experience - Very good experience! We wanted to find a professional historical and cultural tour guide, so we found this place. The overall feeling is very good, the tour guide is very enthusiastic and responsible. Some of the history and culture are also explained very clearly. The key is not to shop😁The dedicated driver took us directly to the pyramids and museums, which also saved us a lot of time. If I still have the chance, I will continue to let him take me to explore more of Egypt.

Amazing and unforgettable experience with Narmer Tours! - Narmer Tours were amazing and gave us an unforgettable tour! Mohammed Elfar was a fantastic guide, so friendly, a great photographer and really helpful with organising our tour and getting entry to the sites. He was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. Him and our driver Amir Yousef took us exactly where we wanted to go and made sure we had plenty of refreshments along the way. Would recommend Narmer Tours to anyone planning a trip to Egypt.

The best tour of Cairo!!!! - We had the most amazing 2 days in Cairo with Narmer Tours! Our guide Mohamed Elfar and our driver Amir Yousef were so great and took us to see all the best attractions! We learnt so much and Mohamed told us a lot of interesting facts at all the places we visited. On the first day we saw the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum of Civilisation. Mohamed told us a lot about the Kings and how the Ancient Egyptians lived and even read the hieroglyphics for us to understand! The second day was Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur. We went inside these pyramids which was an amazing experience! We even stopped off to try some sugar cane juice which was very tasty! Would really recommend a tour with Mohamed, he made our first experience of Egypt one to remember!
