Interesting day out. - Our first full day in Cairo, the tour was transport only but Ahmed was very professional and helpful, getting us to the different venues and negotiating the chaotic Cairo traffic with ease. The pickups went smoothly as well. All in all an interesting and enjoyable day out, would recommend.

Abdel Fattah review - We booked our taxi with Abdel Fattah and he did an excellent job. He took my wife and I too and from the grand Egyptian museum in amazing time and comfort. He also aided in helping us find food and drinks for our hotel stay. I would recommend him 10 times out of 10.

10/10 - It was a very beautiful trip to Luxor, and it was with Respect Tours, by the way. I thank the entire team, and especially Mr. Tarek Talaat. And let's not forget the warm hospitality and welcome from the people of Luxor, Professor Mansour and Professor Mohamed.

Highly recommended Cairo / Giza tour guides - What an incredible experience. Cairo’s architecture is a remarkable blend of ancient and modern, and this tour brought it to life in a way we would never have managed on our own.
Our guide, Ibrahim, was exceptionally knowledgeable, flexible, and clearly very well connected. He ensured we moved through every site smoothly and efficiently, including the Giza pyramids, with no time wasted in queues or ticket lines.
We were on a short layover, and the entire experience was perfectly organised. They collected us from the hotel, guided us through the key sites while sharing detailed historical context and insights into modern Egyptian life, and ensured we made the most of every minute. We were then returned safely to the hotel without any stress or delays.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to maximise their time in Cairo with a seamless, well-managed, and genuinely insightful tour.
