Thanks for your professionalism and dedication Mimo - I initially shared my disappointment in a recent tour experience with Tree of Life Day Tours, where the promised itinerary did not align with the delivered tour. However, I'm pleased to update my feedback to highlight the positive resolution that ensued. Following my complaint, tour guide Mimo from Tree of Life Day Tours proactively reached out to address my concerns. He not only acknowledged the discrepancies but also provided a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill. Moreover, Mimo assured me that steps were being taken to update the itinerary, preventing future customers from encountering a similar discrepancy. I appreciate Mimo's responsiveness and commitment to resolving the issue. While the initial experience fell short of expectations, the proactive steps taken to address the concerns have positively influenced my perception. It's encouraging to witness a commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement within the tour company.

Cairo in all her glory ! & Mo - It is really hard to choose what part of the day (experience) was the best..The best part of the day was being able to experience the passion and understanding that Mo conveys about Egyptology and the Egyptian people in every place and conversation that we had this day ! Fascinating, intelligent , humble and kind ..One is as integral as the next to be able to experience Egypt! We are def coming back to this place ! Egypt is magical .. Our Thanks to Mo for everything and everything he is!

Cairo Day Tour - The Tree of Life Tours with our guide Rashdaa Del Mohamed (and driver Mohamed) was great. She speaks both English & Spanish fluently. We loved the historical info she gave us plus the information on current affairs. The Citadel was impressive, the Bazaar was interesting, and Egyptian Museum included King Tut! We would book this again (very safe).

Great tour made better by our guide - This was a great tour. Our tour guide Ibrahim was the best tour guide we had during our entire trip. I learned so much from him about ancient and modern Egypt, the Muslim faith, the artifacts in the museum, and the history of the Coptic people. He was able to answer every question we had and spoke excellent English. His demeanor was laid-back and friendly. We didn’t know we were also getting a photographer as well. He took some amazing photos with our camera. I would highly recommend this tour and to ask for Ibrahim as your tour guide.

Fantastic private day tour in Cairo. - Booked tour before leaving uk so receiving text from Radwan day before trip was v reassuring. What a great guide! He arranged the timing of visits to each sight to be most advantageous regarding traffic and crowds. His enthusiasm and knowledge was infectious! Enabling us to understand and appreciate all we were looking at from the Citadel to the Egyptian Museum with a relaxing yet atmospheric lunch in Khan al-Khalili. A great day we would recommend everyone to ask for Radwan as their guide to Cairo.

Fantastic day in Cairo with Fatma Mohammed - Fatma Mohammed arrived early for the 8:00am pickup and rang the room to introduce herself, this made it very easy to spot her when we came down to reception. Fatma was super friendly and immediately put us at ease. In the car driving to the Egyptian Museum she chatted at length about the day, the area, the lengthy and difficult process of becoming a tour guide in Egypt and the car journey soon passed with Lots of conversation and laughter. We were passed swiftly through tickets and security and into the Egyptian museum, where starting at the top Fatma spent time telling us the stories and mysteries that made the artefacts come to life, she knew exactly where to go and what to see and we were enthralled by her stories, we had luckily landed on a quiet day and had time and space to see everything we wanted, Fatma was able to easily answer any questions we had, and point out anything we may have missed. We then spent an hour in the Bazaar and as we weren’t overly interested in shopping were able to look at the beautiful mosques and buildings and learn some more history about the area. The next stop was the Citadel were we had time to take in the stunning views, appreciate the architecture, learn some more interesting stories, relax in the stunning mosque and soak in the atmosphere. We finished the day with a late lunch on the river chatting and laughing over good food with Fatma and Michel, our driver for the day. Fatma was the friendliest, most knowledgeable and interesting tour guide I have ever been lucky enough to have and wish that I could have her with me for every trip. I highly recommend this trip and Fatma as your guide.

Perfect first day tour for Cairo - Was picked up from my Hotel in Cairo by Ian Rasha and her driver. One by one we visited the citadel ,Egyptian museum, bazaar and finished with food. My tour guide had all the knowledge about every attraction , and all the artifacts in the museum. I was very impressed. She answered all questions and gave me plenty of time to see every attraction properly on my first day in Cairo. It was really enjoyable. Also I was contacted by the tour guide the day before to confirm pick up location and drop which was so helpful. Overall I have to give a 5/5 for this tour and highly recommend this tour with Tree of Life Day Tours :)

Fabulous Days of Ancient Egypt with Tree of Life - We just finished our private two day tour of Cairo with our travel guide Yasser (Tree of Life). It was amazing. Day 1 went so quickly before my husband and I knew it, the day was over, leaving us excited for Day 2. Day 1 exploring Giza: Our English speaking guide, Yasser, and driver picked us up at our hotel, unfortunately, we were running late but Yasser was very polite and understanding . We headed to the pyramids of Giza. Yasser whisked us through the lines and within minutes we were briefed on the history of the pyramids of Giza. Without asking, Yasser offered to take photos of us, he's quite the professional and got photos we would have never taken on our own. We were then driven to the top plateau to ride the camels, don't pass this up, we got photos that you can't get from and other side of the pyramids. I can't recommend enough that you take the Tree of Life guided tour, it guide Yasser custom tailored each day according to our needs. We skipped a few items in the agenda, extended some parts of the visits and shortened where we felt we didn't want to spend as much time there. That was the best part of getting a private guide, Yasser listened to what we were most interested in and provided more historical data and time on these subject matters.
