The most incredible private tour with the most knowledgable and kind tour guide Mamdouh Ismail - I recently booked a private tour with Your Egypt Tours to see the pyramids of Giza and other sites around Cairo. It was truly one of the greatest experiences I've had with foreign travel. And it's all due to our guide Mamdouh Ismail. The guy is a badass. My friend and I hit him with an unstoppable barrage of questions and he was always knowledgable and amiable to answer any and every one. This guy is legit. He's an egyptologist and has been studying and touring many, many years. He was like a human encyclopedia of all things antiquity. On top of that he was incredibly friendly and fun to be around. He truly deserves a raise. I would book another tour with him in a heartbeat. Which is exactly what we did. After the first day doing this Giza tour, my friend and I booked 3 more days with Mamdouh and the company. He handled everything which allowed us to just enjoy the sites and relax. This is a private tour. You have the tour guide, driver and a large, clean full size van to yourselves. It's well worth the cost. Mamdouh for president!!

Outstanding - Everything was seamless from the start. Mona and Ahmed have been absolutely prompt in replying to my many queries. Ahmed even picked up my call in the early morning to assure me that everything is in order. The company has sent Mamdouh, an exceptional guide during my two days in Cairo. He is knowledgeable, friendly, honest and brought me to the most amazing place for a traditional Egyptian lunch. He wouldn't even let me pay for the lunch or tea the next day. They have been absolutely accommodating with my requests and sorted the accommodation and place for me to do covid test as well for my return to Dubai. A lot of my friends who visited Egypt told me to be cautious as most of them have been forced or hinted by their tour guide to give more than 20% tips after the tour. My experience with Mamdouh? Absolutely pleasant. I gave him the tips and expecting him to give me a signal whether that is satisfactory as he provided such brilliant service but guess what? He didn't even look at how much I gave him and said "thank you for being a great company today". I left Egypt with great memories and a friend. Yes, you do pay a little bit more than other tour agencies in Cairo but the level of service is top notch and by the end of the day, you get more than what you paid for. I highly recommend anyone to use The Egypt Tour.

Incredible, Spectacular, Seemless, & affordable - From the very start Mona Hamdy was a true pleasure to work with. Quick response enabled me to plan a day tour to my needs in less than 3 days! It was my boss and my first visit to Egypt. One day only to experience Cairo before had our business conferences s. Beeko was our guide and truly amazing! I don’t even know where to begin with how incredible he was. Extremely knowledgeable in his history; you can tell how experienced he was simply by the way he and our driver got us around and unbelievably beat the other tourists. From 7am until 330 we went to Sakkara (my utmost favorite), went to the Sakkara rug school (pricey but with it), Memphis, a government gift shop (great way to purchase authentic items without hassle and worry free environments), Giza plateau for all pyramids and a camel ride, the amazing Sphinx, and finished with the papyrus store (good to experience and buy a little something for memory also in a relaxed affordable environment).
Beeko truly made our experience a lifetime of memories I will never forget! He is a great person with a great heart. Sincere and kind, patient and honest... and very very funny! Thank you Beeko! Ask for Beeko when you book!

Unparalleled service and knowledge of Egypt - look no further. - Mamdouh was such an incredible guide - we spent about 20 hours doing a custom tour with virtually everything we could squeeze in. Any time we needed a juice or tea, a break, wanted to stay longer, it was completely at our own pace. I felt so safe, cared for, and educated at every moment. I can't imagine a better tour and I'm so grateful we booked through Your Egypt Tours - we had a front row seat to everything, first ones into the pyramids, you name it, the entire experience was completely VIP. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was absolutely top of the line at every step.
