"Everything about today was perfect, very well organised, the transportation was all present and very well communicated, our tour guide Sherif was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and passionate when showing us around the pyramids and museum, he helped point out to us where potential scammers could be and to avoid them. He also took us to the best photo spots and took some amazing photos of me and my friends and didn’t charge us for them. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to come and explore Ancient Egypt."

"Mustafa was an amazing Tour Guide, we went to see the pyramids, ride a camel, market/stalls to see all spices of Egypt and amazing perfumes. Then had lunch overlooking the Pyramids, followed by Museum and saw the Mummy's and very clear explanation of all the things inside the Museum, lastly but not least the Trip on a boat ride down the most famous River Nile. This Trip is a Must."

Julie United Kingdom

"Our guide was Mustafa first of all - what can you say about this incredible guide? Well let me start off by saying he was professional, knowledgeable, well spoken, very personable and a true gentleman! You could ask Mustafa literally anything, at one point we were even discussing politics, hospital waiting times in Cairo and philosophy! If Mustafa was a professional footballer I would compare him to the GOAT’ Mr Lionel Messi - Mustafa is that good! Finally, as an employer running a large business in the Uk, I would snap up Mustafa like a shot if I ever had the opportunity. True class!"

"We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel exactly on time and transferred smoothly to Sharm El Sheikh Airport. Our flight to Cairo was seamless, and our tour guide, Nasser, was there waiting for us when we arrived. Nasser was a fantastic guide—calm, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about Ancient Egypt, and excellent at taking photos! He made the entire day enjoyable and informative. Our driver was also outstanding, always punctual and ready to take us between the different sites throughout the trip. We ran into a small issue at a papyrus shop, but Nasser went above and beyond to help resolve it and made sure we were completely happy. The lunch provided was fabulous, with plenty of delicious and hearty Egyptian food. We were also pleasantly surprised with a lovely boat trip on the Nile, which was a wonderful addition to the day. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organised, and both Nasser and the driver played"

Rhiannon United Kingdom

"Our day trip was excellent! We chose to visit the Pyramids on my husband’s 30th birthday, Sherif our tour guide helped us have the most fantastic day! From start to finish the trip was seamless, from collection at our hotel in Sharm el Sheikh, airport transfer, flight, collection from Cairo and day exploring the pyramids, GEM and Cairo. Being on a private tour was great for allowing us to flex the itinerary as desired, and we managed to do everything we wanted in just the one day! Sherif is full of knowledge, friendly and had a good balance of spending time with us educating us about ancient Egypt, whilst also respectfully giving us some free time to enjoy together. He has also inspired us to visit Luxor in the future due to his passion and information about Egypt!"
