Solo guided Tour - Simon was very friendly and made the experience at Saqqarah much more interactive and engaging. Simon was able to show me sites not visible for the general public and I felt that I learned far more than I ever would have gathered being there on my own.

Cairo Day 1 with Dina - This will be Part 1 of a 2 Day Review. There is a lot to discuss here and I hope that you will read the entire review. Our Cairo tour was fascinating. I learned so much that is NOT taught in the history books! After being picked up at the Mena House Hotel, our tour began and it was clear that there was a true passion for Egyptian history and culture that oozed out of Dina's pores. I think I was probably like a sponge as I was excited to learn all that I could in this short time..
Dina took us on an incredible journey through the Great Pyramids of Giza. With her as our guide, it wasn’t just sightseeing; it was a history lesson on which you get to be the main character. Her storytelling, knowledge of ancient Egypt, and ability to answer every question with depth and clarity made the experience truly enriching.
One of the highlights was riding camels near the pyramids, an iconic moment made even better by Dina’s attention to detail and care for our comfort. She also took us down into a tomb beneath a pyramid. It was soooo hot!!! Not to mention there was horrific humidity! —an unforgettable and surreal experience that gave us a real sense of the scale and mystery of ancient Egypt.
Dina was not only incredibly informative, but also very professional, and fun. She tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and made sure every moment was memorable. We walked away with more than just photos—we left with a true appreciation for Egyptian history and culture.
If you're visiting Cairo, don’t miss the chance to tour with Dina. She turned a bucket list day into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Bucket List Day! - Wow! We just completed an amazing day touring with our guide, Gina. She provided us with interesting history and helped us to fall in love with Egypt and the people that live here. Gina made sure that we got to do every single thing that we have dreamed about—we toured the Giza Pyramids and saw the Sphinx. We rode camels and have some amazing picture memories. We toured Sakkara and saw the beautiful hieroglyphics. Our coffee stop at Juan Valdez was refreshing and fun. We enjoyed learning about papyrus and the creation of beautiful Egyptian rugs. Lunch was delicious, and we enjoyed trying many different foods. Our driver, Kyro, made this entire day possible! I don’t have the words to describe his skill and patience! Thanks to Isaac for arranging a bucket list day with two new friends!

Wonderful day! - The highlight of my trip was when Issac met us at the airport. We were quickly lead through security making the arrival process easier. The next morning our tour guide Gina arrived early ready to help us. In addition, Gina also made us feel comfortable, always asking if we are okay. Gina helped watch our daughter while we went inside a pyramid. I highly recommend this tour company.

Dina was the best - Our guide, Dina, was already waiting for us at the hotel before the pick up time, and took us to the highlights of Cairo.

Very interesting tour with a perfect German-speaking guide and great driver. - This tour was the highlight of our Cairo trip. We were perfectly guided and informed by our guide Samy. The visits to an essence factory and the papyrus museum were also very interesting. Samy's knowledge of history was very impressive. Our perfect driver was Mario again. We always felt safe with Mario as a driver and Samy as guide.

The Amazing Mario Team - This company arranged for us a private tour and it was amazing. Our guide and drivers, both named Mario, were exceptional in making us feel welcomed and at ease in our travel. From the moment they picked us up on our tour, to the moment they dropped us off, each experience was personalized and professional! Highly recommend a private tour to go and see things at your own pace 👍
