A fabulous afternoon of exploration - What a great way to start our trip to Egypt. Hosny was very prompt, and a masterful guide of the city and the history of Egypt and Cairo. He introduced us to some of the gems of Cairo.

Coptic Cairo and Egyptian Civilisation Museum guide - We wanted to make the most of our time in Cairo and Hosni was the perfect person for this. After spending the previous day with him exploring Coptic Cairo, we spent the morning at the Egyptian Civilisation Museum. Hosni is a fabulous guide and he makes the history exciting and makes it come alive. It is clear that he has a deep passion for history, Egyptology and instils this so naturally in those he looks after. You come away fascinated, and though there is so much history to be told, you still crave more! He helped us look around the key highlights and was always very flexible and happy to help. His kindness and personality made it feel like going around with friends or family. He will definitely look after you and allow you to explore the city with ease. We also really appreciated him providing us with good drivers in what can be a busy city. We hope to come back to Egypt in the near future, and will certainly look to meet him again! Having been around the world and met many guides, he is one that will stay in my memories for sure!

Amazing bespoke tour with Hosni - Hosni was such a great tour guide, this tour needed to be bespoke as we had a flight in the afternoon. We had a smooth pick up from our hotel and a great tour of the museum for a few hours - the museum doesn’t get as much press as the GEM but is fantastic and well worth it. Drop off at the airport was very smooth after. Thank you Hosni!!!

A first rate guide and a spectacular museum - Hosni was our tour guide and he was terrific. Given how crazy it us to drive in Cairo, I have to say his driver was also a plus. Hosni was very knowledgeable and could talk at length about the things we were seeing. But he was also flexible enough to let us wander a bit on our own. I highly recommend

Hosni was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. - Hosni was a great tour guide. From the moment he picked us up at the hotel to the moment he dropped us off. He constantly checked in to check we were ok and that we got the most out of the tour. He is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
