Fabulous tour with Innis - I can’t fault the memorable day my wife and I spent with Innis going to the Cairo museums and churches. She imparted so much interesting and well informed knowledge to us and is clearly well educated historically.
Many highlights, e.g. In the civilisations museum she gave us a whistle stop tour through the history of human civilisation progressing through its stages using the exhibits. This was an education in itself and was so well delivered that I was blown away she had been able to do it. A fabulous tour and will always be remembered. Thank you

Amazing Trip with Ahmed - My husband and I traveled to Egypt in November 2021 with Ahmed Helal. We had an incredible trip thanks to Ahmed! We had a list of the sites we wanted to visit and the things we wanted to do. Ahmed took out feedback and created a custom 10 day trip that covered everything we wanted to see and more!! From the minute we arrived in Cairo to our trip back to the airport, Ahmed was there to make sure we were welcome and comfortable. He arranged for a private driver everywhere we went (a big plus when visiting the popular sites), took care of all our entries into every site and provided in depth and interesting knowledge everywhere we visited. His enthusiasm for Egypt and the culture, ancient and modern, along with a dash of humor made every tour fun and interesting. We saw all the major sites, Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Abu Simbel, Alexandria, Cairo plus so many others we didn’t even know we wanted to see. We were in awe of the scale and the detail of ancient sites! Ahmed arranged all our flights in country, our stay at amazing hotels (definitely splurge for the Old Cataract in Aswan) and a relaxing cruise on the Nile (Mayfare was a great line). He even took us to a local farm (beautiful Jessie Farm) to meet his beautiful family and cook at his house. It was a truly unforgettable experience. We left Egypt with a lifetime of memories and a friend in Ahmed!
