My magical time in Cairo - Mahmoud is very well informed on everything regarding Cairo. He made us feel very comfortable and he makes the information super easy to digest. The company is organized and communicates effectively. Looking to come back to explore with more of my friends as soon as possible! :)

Cairo tour guide - Mahmoud Adel was our tour guide for a full day trip. He was really knowledgeable about the history of each location and we learnt a lot. He also organised a driver for us and picked us up from the hotel. He was very flexible with tailoring the tour to suit our needs. We've recommended him to multiple friends and they have all had good experiences with him.

Great tour with an expert guide - We had a hugely enjoyable day with Mahmoud adel as our guide as he is hugely knowledgeable and gave us so much info on a huge subject . He’s also flexible on the itinerary so we could make the most of the short stay we had which we very much appreciated . I would also recommend him for other tours as his Egyptology research and background is extensive. We were picked up and accompanied throughout the tour which made a world of difference in a city like cairo as we would never have been able to see what we did solo ….

A day rich with history, culture and good company! - I was picked up in the morning and set off in the afternoon right at the door to my airbnb apartment - now that is service! The driver was just as nice as Mahmoud and the conversation during driving between destinations was entertaining. The car was clean and air conditioned. I spent a day with Mahmoud Adel visiting the Islamic and Coptic Cairo and I am impressed and grateful both by the welcome I got and the tour itself. Mahmoud started with the Coptic part of Cairo where we visited, among other things, The Hanging Church, via the Citadel and The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali, The War museum and ended it with Khan Al Khalili. It says half day, but Mahmoud prioritises his guests and takes time for all the questions you might have (his knowledge is vast, trust me - I’ve been with a few tour guides), he also set of time wherever I wanted to take photos. The tour included a very tasty and filling lunch of local cuisine, and desserts at Khan Al Khalili. Treat yourself to a day of immense history, fantastic culture, food and last but not least: good company. I felt welcome, well taken care off during the day and safe! Thank you, Mahmoud Adel. 🙏

Exploring Egypt - Our first tour with Mahmoud Adel as our guide was exceptional! As a result we booked a second tour with him and he worked with us to customize a third and fourth tour at Abu Simbel when we went to Luxor. He has our highest regard and recommendations. We found him very personable and engaging, his knowledge of Egyptian archeological history is extensive and we especially enjoyed his encouragement for us to ask questions and his willingness to answer our many questions, often provoking even more questions. We had enlightening cultural conversations our whole time with him. We felt completely at home with him! His driver was fantastic as well and our car was excellent and super clean. We spent a month in Egypt and met Mahmoud in our first few days. We feel he set the tone for a fantastic experience exploring the country. He was always available by text and gave us several ideas and connections to further explore Egypt after we left Cairo and traveled the country. We cannot say enough great things about Mahmoud, we were lucky and very grateful to have met him.
