    Nesreen is a lovely and experienced guide

    "We really enjoyed our Giza pyramid tour with Nesreen. She’s very knowledgeable and bubbly and kept the tour humming. She’s also helped us with drivers and getting over to the Grand Egyptian Museum on time. Highly recommended from us! Thank you Nesreen!"

    Lovely Youssef is a great guide!!

    "What a nice person Youssef is! He went all out to give us the best food experience, even though we accidentally booked it during an important festival and many places were closed. He was helpful, caring and speaks great English as well as Spanish!! He’s even helped us with our plans for the rest of our Egypt trip. Highly recommended!! Thank you Youssef!"

    More than a food tour

    "The experience with Ramses has been better than what we expected, and this was not the first food tour we had. On top of trying delicious local food, Ramses was sharing insights into the local history and culture in a very engaging way. He was attentive to our needs and preferences all the time. Highly recommended!"

    Nesreen is the perfect tour guide

    "Nesreen is extremely knowledgeable & articulate in the information she provides, but beyond that she is also an incredibly nice person and really tailors the pace of the day to your needs. She made our honeymoon trip to the pyramids very special. We later had a trip (through another company) with another tour guide that we didn't pick, and while it was certainly less expensive, the experience was completely night and day. We wished we could have gone back and hired Nesreen for that tour too. Cannot recommend booking enough. "

    Youssef guided us to the gems of Cairo

    "We had the best 10 tastings tour with Youssef. His communication prior to the tour was great. We meet with our friends and he was warm and engaging from the start. Not only did he curate some great places for us to taste the local food, we also stopped at some places in Cairo we would never have seen. Covering a bit of history, seeing some great architecture and some other cute places that I won’t mention so I don’t spoil it for the next person. He was genuinely interested in conversation with us and showing us the food, culture and quirkiness of his home town. He even helped us get back to our hotel. Highly recommend a tour with Youssef. We loved our tour. Thank you. "

    Where History Meets Personal Touch

    "Moustafa delivered a true 10/10 experience, if you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the basics, he brings history to life with rich detail, engaging stories, and a depth of knowledge that kept things interesting. He tailored the entire experience to us, making it feel personal rather than scripted, and struck the perfect balance between education and enjoyment. On top of that, he went out of his way to capture great photos and even came up with some fun, creative shot ideas that made the day even more memorable. Highly recommend if you want something both insightful and genuinely enjoyable."

    Best decision ever!

    "Giza pyramids was a wish list item for so many years and when we finally decided to go I searched on chat gpt for recommendations. Nesreen was highly recommended, meeting her we quickly understood why. She is so sweet, warm, has deep knowledge on Egyptology. It is obvious that she takes pride in what she does, enjoys working with a multi cultural guest base. Having a guide made our Cairo day so special. Best money spent! We toured pyramids and sphinx. Nesreen gave us great tips for visiting the new museum. All the things she talked about made even more sense at the museum. All was a great experience, we highly recommend Nesreen"

    Great Giza Tour with Moustafa

    "Moustafa is an exceptional tour guide. He went above and beyond to customize my Giza/Sakkara tour to include a visit to Sakkara, GEM and also the pyramid complex at Giza. He took the time to understand my interests and arranged the day to ensure we could see and do everything despite the early closing hours due to the last day of Ramadan. He has extensive knowledge as an Egyptologist and wove together mythology, history and sociology in ways that really made every site come alive. Highly highly recommend him!"
