Good tour for half day - Mira is very knowledgeable and gave a thorough explanation, she was attentive and friendly. The tour itself was shorter than 4 h, more like 2.5 but covered all the points, so all good.

Fun at the museum. - The pasma guide was the best of everything very attentive at all times, the best of all is that she speaks Spanish so it was not difficult at all communication, besides that the tour was in a car with air conditioning making the experience much more pleasant, I would definitely return to Egypt and book here again.

Amazing Experience!! - I had an amazing time by myself going to the Muhammad Ali Mosque which was so beautiful, the Christian Coptic church where Jesus and the holy family hid & did some shopping. Yasser did an amazing job with information, knowing Egyptian history and I felt safe and enjoyed my entire time! Definitely recommend

Great tour - We had an amazing time in our tour. The guide was on time, he made us feel comfortable. At some points he tours seem a bit rush. But other than that we enjoyed the tour

Give them a chance you won't regret it. Superb - We booked last minute, same day. I booked at 11 am scheduled for tour starting at 12pm. Within 5 minutes I received a message through WhatsApp. I sent them my location. And request to let me know when they arrive. Michael gave me ETA 30 min. Everything was smooth. We enjoyed the trip, my husband had a great time at the oil shop, papyrus shop. I enjoyed the coptic and mosques. Michael gave us plenty of information. My 10 yr old was having fun, until it got hot. But no big deal. We got the all inclusive package with pickup. Tour Guide, tickets and lunch. We had authentic koshari, it was delicious. We had such a wonderful time. You won't regret. And the driver was very nice and friendly. I highly recommend them.

Good experience - It’s a great experience, they pick you up and drive you everywhere. We had our tour in spanish, and we’re not sure if it was a language problem or if the guide didn’t know the history of the places as we asked questions and didn’t get an exact answer.
