Professional, Knowledgeable- the best in Cairo/Giza!! - I consider myself (relatively) well-traveled and hire private tour guides whenever possible to better understand where I’m visiting. Our guide, Youssa, was one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Full stop. He’s professional, knowledgeable, extremely kind, and has a good sense of humor. It’s very clear he has a passion for Egyptology and makes his explanations accessible for all audiences. We loved our time with him so much that when we went back to Cairo later in the week, we had a second day with him to see more sights! Additionally, the transfers involved were smooth and he explained the city and sights to us as we traveled from location to location. I’ve already referred a good friend for his services for her honeymoon. Don’t forget Egypt is very much a tipping culture all around! Have cash and take care of those where it makes sense. Lastly, don’t hesitate to book Youssa! Five stars! 10/10!

Best day ever visiting the pyramids with Egyptologist: Hussein - Hussein was a brilliant and pronominal guide (Egyptologist). Our day was awesome! Spent the morning at the museum where he showed his expertise on Egyptian history. Had an outstanding lunch, visited a real papyrus manufacturer, essential oils business, afternoon at the Pyramids and sphinx. Couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect day and experience. Hussein was outstanding with our kids (9 and 12) and delivered/captured some of our family’s most cherished photos from our adventure. Highly recommend and will never forget this once in a life time trip.

Our visit in Cairo - Mariam, our amazing guide in Cairo Her communication was amazing and felt well looked after. She contacted me a day before, explaining where she would wait for us. when we arrived, she brought us water, also gifted us her favorite soft drink and chocolate. Very thoughtful and kind. On the way to the Great Pyramid of Giza, she started sharing her knowledge and answered all our questions. She looked after us and told us that she would pay for everything, we shouldn't worry about anything at all and then at the end of the day, we would reimburse her. Was great and very easy. She got the tickets for us and took us for Camel riding. After that we went for lunch. She took plenty of picture of us, which again was amazing! Very grateful. The day was all about us and Mariam made sure we were happy. Her service is well recommended.

Informative and Fun tour! - My tour guide, Ahmad Elsayed, made the experience very pleasant, transforming the environment to be welcoming and comforting. He was very informative and gave us in depth lessons on the indulging history of the Egyptians. The transportation was top tier and effective. However, one small complaint was the food. There weren't much options and the one restaurant that did seem appealing let us down with it's meal. Otherwise, the trip was amazing!

Best day trip ever! - What an incredible day! I’ve been to Egypt a few times & this tour is always one of my favorites & I think that you’d be hard pressed to find a more informative or fun guide than Ali. If I could give this 10 stars I would.

Cairo at a glance, very enjoyable trip - It was one of the best excursions we had in Egypt so far! We came from Sharm to Cairo for 1-day visit. Our guide Ali met us at the airport and we had a lovely day full of adventures. Kids enjoined the museum and pyramids, I have appreciated that we were quite flexible to make a move or stop somewhere longer, at the same time we felt quite secured and Ali took care of all the small nuanses, so I could just relax and fell the atmosphere of this trully incredible place!

Best trip in last 10 years - Thank you, guide Youssa, for the nice explanation of ancient Egyptian culture and history. Special thanks for providing each one of us with our wants and needs, and extra thanks for the best fish restaurant in Cairo. I hope to come again.
