Fantastic Tours to Luxor and Cairo - We, a family of 5 have been with Yasser in Luxor and Cairo and these are excursions we will never forget. A man with so much knowledge in his field is not everyday. The passion Yasser lies for the day infects those around him. We had strangers there, at a distance walked with us despite the fact that they definitely do not speak Danish. We would highly recommend Yasser and this will not be the last time we will be guided by Yasser.

Great trip in Cairo - With Yasser as a guide, you get an incredibly engaged and competent guide. He has answers to all his questions, and he sets high standards for the stories in his stories. There is no doubt that he loves the ancient Egyptian tales. In addition to the high professionalism, there was also control of all the practical things with Yasser. To that a pretty pleasant company. Great praise to Yasser. And thanks for a lovely day in Cairo 😊

Pristine experience - Our tour and the guide (Yasser) was the most informative ever. He knows and includes private nuggets ,beyond the tour that one would miss out with others or by yourself. Long story short, Exceptionaltours Egypt is the way to go. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic tours - Fantastic. Probably the best 'long weekend' we've ever had. The tours were amazing, everything from the great pyramid to Alexandria, could not have wished for a better your guide and experience.

Egypt's best guide - I call him "brother". My brother is the best guide I've ever had in my travels around the world. His in-depth knowledge of Egypt and easy-to-understand explanations will quickly turn even those who don't know about Egypt into experts on Egyptian civilization. I'm not very good at English, but my brother explained things slowly and in easy-to-understand English. His friendly personality, which is loved by everyone, was the best attraction for me as a solo traveler. Egyptian civilization is a wonderful civilization that I believe laid the foundations of modern times. A brother guide will make your trip more interesting and deep. I will never forget my brother. Thanks so much.

Excellent tour 10/10 - We spent two days with Yasser in Cairo and we really enjoyed every minute of it. First we visited the Saqqara pyramids and on the other day the Citadel, Egypt Museum and Bazaar etc. Yasser is well educated, was always punctual, helpful, patient and told us a lots of information about history, culture and everyday life. He showed us places which are less visited by tourists, taught us reading hieroglyphics, helped dealing with locals, we even ate secret apples in the Citadel and we learned some local humour about "Hubbly bubbly" and "Hot Chicken Soup", he also fulfilled our extra requests every time without hesitation. I fully recommend him, he and his tour were professional!

Overpriced - Yasir is knowledgeable and he is overall a good man but his prices are so high that it is nauseating to even believe. I hate to call it a rip off but it is for Egypt. Don’t let him arrange any form of transportation for you because you shall pay quadruple of what you will pay if you arrange it for yourself. Also just say NO if he offers to take you to this place that sells REAL and AUTHENTIC Egyptian perfumes because it all fake and you end up paying HUNDREDS of British pounds. Same for restaurants. Just say NO if he tells you he will take you somewhere u can buy something from. I’m not attacking him and I understand he wants to make money but I felt so taken advantage of as a tourist and ended up spending so much that when I got back to the UK my Egyptian buddies laughed at me. Take Yasir for a simple tour of the pyramids and that’s it.
