Tree of Life tour - Our adventure in Cairo, the city that never truly sleeps, was elevated to an unforgettable experience, thanks to Ashraf, our incredibly knowledgeable and gracious tour guide, and Salah, our skillful driver. When Ashraf reached out to us a day before our arrival, his proactive communication assured us we were in good hands. This level of organization and attention to detail set the tone for the entire day. Ashraf's expertise in Egypt's rich history breathed life into every monument we visited. From the awe-inspiring pyramids of Giza, where history stands tall against the backdrop of time, to the vibrant corridors of the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, bustling with the essence of Egyptian culture, He provided insights that went beyond the ordinary. His ability to capture the perfect moments for photos made our memories even more unique, ensuring we could bring a piece of our adventure back home. The highlight of our day was undoubtedly the delicious lunch with a view of the pyramids. It was a moment of tranquility amidst a day filled with wonder. Following lunch, our afternoon at the Egyptian Museum was enriched by Ashraf's deep knowledge of the artifacts, making the history of this ancient civilization unfold before our eyes. Ashraf's punctuality, politeness, and passion for sharing his country's heritage made him not just a guide but a host in the truest sense of the word. Coupled with Salah's driving that easily navigated Cairo's lively streets, our day was as seamless as it was spectacular. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashraf and Salah for anyone looking to explore Cairo's historical wonders. Their professionalism, warmth, and expertise transform a simple tour into an extraordinary voyage through time.

Tree of Life tours - Returning to Cairo's iconic pyramids was an experience I thought couldn't be topped, yet I am pleasantly corrected here. This time around, our guide, Ashraf, transformed the familiar sightseeing venture into an extraordinary exploration. His depth of knowledge about Egypt's rich history and his engaging storytelling manner added layers of intrigue and appreciation I hadn't encountered on my first visit. Opting for the 8-hour tour allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the wonders of Cairo beyond the towering marvels of the Pyramids. From the bustling markets echoing the vibrant day-to-day life to the serene and imposing Sphinx that stands guard, every moment was a thrilling discovery, igniting a sense of adventure and curiosity. Gouda's approachable and pleasant demeanor made all the difference, making it feel less like a guided tour and more like a heartwarming day out with a friend who happens to know incredible amounts about one of the world's most fascinating places. His passion for sharing the history and culture of Egypt was evident, making every tale from the ancient world come alive before our eyes. Endorsing this tour comes easy for anyone looking to experience Cairo and its pyramids, whether for the first or tenth time; having Ashraf as your guide will undoubtedly enrich your visit. It's not just about ticking off landmarks but about connecting with the heart and soul of Egypt, all thanks to a guide who goes above and beyond to make your day memorable.

Great Cairo tour - Stepping into an adventure with Zenab as our guide and Hosn at the wheel was like unlocking a treasure chest of experiences. Their expertise and hospitality fashioned a day that was as seamless as it was memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend entrusting your explorations to them. The modern chariot transport was impeccable - clean, comfortable, and ideally suited for our adventure across the wonders. This tour is the embodiment of time well invested, each moment brimming with enriching and captivating activities. From the exhilaration of a camel ride, sensing the vastness of the desert as we neared the majestic pyramids, to the breathtaking sights of mummies and treasures at the museum, the day was a vibrant mosaic of experiences. The surreal feeling of capturing photos against the backdrop of the ancient pyramids, a moment suspended in time that I’ll forever treasure. However, it was the museum's ancient wonders that held me captive, a vivid testament to a civilization that continues to captivate and motivate me. This tour was a phenomenal adventure in every aspect, filled with moments that linger in the mind long after they’ve passed. Zenab and Hosn didn’t just show us the sights; they invited us into a story that unfolded with each stop. This tour is an absolute must for anyone exploring these historical wonders. It’s not just a day out; it’s a journey into the heart of history, guided by two individuals who truly make it unforgettable.

Excellent Private tour with flexibility to spend as much time where you want - Pheobe was our guide. She was really nice. She was informative, helpful, understanding, accommodating with fluent english. Excellent communication. It was really nice to have a private tour guide, it helped us spend as much time where we wanted. Really do whatever we wanted, that was great. Our driver was great as well. Quick. Had a nice car, drove well in traffic.

A highly fulfilling experience - and a day well spent ! - Had a meeting to attend in Hurghada and thought ( since I had to fly in from Cairo anyway ) that I'd take a day and soak in the sights of the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and visit the famed Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Booking and confirmation was done and received promptly online - along with clear instructions. Now, I wasn't sure if by 'private', I'd be expected to share the day with other tourists ( since I'd encountered tours on previous trips to other countries where 'private' meant being in a small group' ) but I was thrilled to learn that I would indeed have the services of the guide and driver all to myself for the entire 8-hour duration. My guide ( Fatima ) and driver ( Ibrahim ) were the perfect company - they turned up on time ( actually early ) and had the most effervescent personalities to cheer up my morning. Fatima is truly a gem - she's articulate, funny, extremely knowledgeable and ( as a bonus ) super proficient at helping me take photos. I travel alone most of the time alone and since I do not subscribe to nor have the photo-taking skills of a 'social media influencer', I don't often end up with many nice picture memories of myself - just a whole lot of shaky selfies and photos of what I saw and where I've been. However, Fatima assisted ( more like directed haha ) with many photo opportunities whilst on the tour and gee, she's really good at it. She knew all the right spots, angles, etc and for once, I can truly enjoy the tours and experience the sights without having to worry about taking pictures of myself. The sights were indeed breathtaking - the Pyramids were awe-inspiring and the tour of the Museum most educational. There wasn't a whole lot to see at the Bazaar though ( perhaps it's the time of the day ) but since I wasn't big on shopping for curios and souvenirs, that suited me perfectly fine. There will of course be attempts made to have you drop by at 1 - 2 shops to 'experience local products' but a polite decline from my end was all it took for me to side-step that process. The day started with me thinking " Gee, 8 hours is a long time to spend touring" but both Fatima and Ibrahim made it felt like a breeze and at the end of the day, I felt I've made two new friends and had a productive and wonderful day spent in Cairo.

Bucket list ticked. - Excellent guide Zenab and driver Hosn provided an organized and smooth day. I recommend them 100%. The transport was modern and spotless. You get a lot done on this tour and it is all worthwhile. We especially loved the camel ride and taking photos at the pyramids, but the mummies and treasures at the museum are also something I will never forget.

Special day with Ashraf - We could not have hoped for a better day! We went to Egypt especially to See the pyramids so it was a really important part of our trip & Ashraf made it such a wonderful experience. He was funny, spoke amazing English, regularly asked if we were enjoying our day & taught us all the amazing history without it feeling like a history lesson. He was also fantastic in taking lots of photos for us so we could remember the day forever. THANK YOU for the best day of our trip. Will recommend you friends!
