Incredible Tour - This was an amazing experience!! Anan was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to about the nuances of Egyptian culture and religion! She was insightful and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour because the sites were amazing, but it was the conversations that made it phenomenal!!

Amazing Tour! - Hussam was knowledgeable, professional, extremely friendly! He communicated with me before our tour and was punctual on the day. I learned so much from him as he is a very talented guide! Cairo is not an easy place to move around. In my opinion, you will need someone trusted to help you getting around this grand city. I highly recommend this tour!

Cairo Centuries just in a couple of hours - Thx a lot for the tour with Annan today. She has been very helpful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed all places she had shown to us and appreciated a lot that she went the extra mile to go to the Cave Church with us at the end of the trip. This showed us an other part of the Cairo world that we would have missed otherwise and completes our picture - it showed us how some people life and work much different from ours.

Citadel/Mohamed Ali mosque, coptic area, original Egyptian Museum - Well recommended, we got what was advertised with timely service. We went to the Mohamed Ali mosque, the optic area, and the (original) Egyptian museum. Mohamed was a good guide. There was an offer to go into the higher quality stores (we went to 2 out of curiosity) and there was no (to little) pressure to buy. Lunch (koshary) was provided.

Alexandria visit - Our guide Ahmed was very nice 👌 We had a great time. We visited the catacombs, the library, the fortress from outside, St-Mark's optic church and had lunch (fish). Happy with Ahmed's service.

Ask for Hussam (sword) - Our guide was on time picking us up and the tour lasted the full time it was advertised. Our guide was friendly, patient, occasionally funny, easy to understand and very knowledgeable. Our day went as planned and lunch was at a restaurant chosen by the guide. 5 stars also on the restaurant (called Galato) was Hussam's choice and food and service there were both excellent.

If you only have one day in Cairo this is the perfect guide for you… - Fantastic day. Ola is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Cairo, she took things at a great pace and allowed us to take our time. She timed everything perfectly to ensure the crowds were minimized. Our driver was excellent and the car was clean and air conditioned. Constantly being supplied with water and taken for a great lunch. She also arranged for us to go sailing on the Nile which was not in the original plan. Wonderful day, thank you.
