What Our Travelers Say
"Easiest 5 star review ever. Booked last minute after lots of “do we, don’t we” chat and lots of reservations. But from start to finish we were guided through the whole process. From hotel pick up, being met at the airport by Marawan who helped us get our Cairo visas sorted ($38 USD each - Make sure you have cash for this!!), helped us through check-in and sent us off to our gate. Air Cairo flight is basic but no issues at all. We were then met by Ahmed at Cairo airport who was our guide for the day. Ahmed is well experienced, super friendly and guided us through the whole experience with great knowledge and patience, allowing plenty of picture stops and obliging to take many family pictures for us. I would reccomend adding the camel tour (short/20mins only £17) well worth it for pictures and the boat trip, great to see Cairo from the Nile!(about £25 for family of 4) All in all, an amazing experience. Ahmed was brilliant and made the day so special. Book it, it’s awesome!!"

"This activity was excellent and our guide, Ahmad, was phenomenal. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and gave us time to do everything we wanted. Spent the entire day with us and took the time to explain everything and answer any questions we had. He was absolutely brilliant! I definitely recommend this activity and if you can, to ask for Ahmad. He really made our trip even more special! Seeing the pyramids for the first time is something I can’t even describe, it didn’t feel real and the Museum is absolutely fantastic too!"

"We had an absolutely amazing day with our guide Sameh! From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about Egyptian history, culture, and every place we visited. He explained everything in great detail and answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. The boat ride on the Nile was a wonderful experience, and Sameh made sure everything went smoothly. At the Pyramids, he helped us find the best spots for photos and took many beautiful pictures of us. He also looked after our belongings while we were exploring and taking photos, which made us feel very comfortable and safe. We enjoyed a delicious meal at a traditional Egyptian restaurant with authentic local food, and Sameh made sure we had a great dining experience. The visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum was one of the highlights of the day. Sameh explained the exhibits in great detail, bringing"
