A Must Do Trip - Fantastic experience! Our guide Hoda made the trip for us along with our fab driver Mario. The excursion was safe, secure and hugely enjoyable from start to finish to finish. I can’t recommend enough. Just ask for Hoda and Mario, a dream team to make your time in Cairo

Great Tours! - This tour was amazing! Michael was the best tour guide and very informative. On the way back we got to see and even assist in a tapestry making tour! The saqqara was a site to see, and Michael even has a hidden talent for taking professional quality pictures! We even got to go to the Egyptian museum and see all the many artifacts! We even got to do a little shopping.They were able to pack all the activities I wanted to do in one day and at our own pace! The private tour allowed for us to see extra and learn detailed Egyptian history! I will be coming back and Recommend this tour to anyone going to Cairo.

Awesome tour of Alexandria from Cairo - Had a nice trip to Alexandria from Cairo with tour guide Hoda and driver Mario. This was our third tour with them from Twitter Egypt travel and as usual, Hoda was great in explaining about the history and significance of Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa and ancient Roman theatre. Overall, a pleasant and nice experience and highly recommended.

The ancient Egyptian pyramids - A perfect day from start to finish. Our very friendly and professional guide George was superbly knowledgeable and shared the information with us in a very accessible way. His English and Arabic are both fluent and easy to understand. Also importantly, the driver was very reliable and we felt very safe driving in the clean, air conditioned van. Whilst most people visit the Giza pyramids only, Dahshur and Saqqara offer much, much more and are far less busy than the pyramids in Giza. Make sure you go inside the pyramid in Saqqara to see the walls engraved with original hyrogplyphics. The coming into and out of the pyramid is also much easier than the climb into the great pyramid in Giza. We highly recommend this tour for a full appreciation of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
